GTRacer22 • Member Posts: 156 Likes: 105 Gender: Male	Post by GTRacer22 on Feb 16, 2016 18:30:01 GMT -5 *Okuma Motorsports* Team Manager: (RP) Hideyoshi Okuma, (Real) GTRacer22 Founded in 1994, Okuma Motorsports is a widely known racing outfit out of Oguchi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Founded by Okuma-san himself, he started the team with the goal of dominating the whole of the Japanese motor racing scene. Starting out in JGTC, they ran a Honda NSX JGTC race car. After competing for a few seasons, they were able to rack up two overall championships, as well as three class championships. After achieving their goal there, they added on to the team with a Super Formula car, as well as new drivers. Achieving success in Super Formula would prove to be much more difficult, coming from a background in GT racing. However, after six years, they did bring a championship back to Oguchi. Since then, they were invited to partake in the newly-established Global Racing League in the GT Endurance AM category. Last season, they racked up a win, and lots of experience to put forward into the coming season. This season, the team seeks their first championship. They have once again planned their assault on the GT Endurance Series, in both the PRO and AM categories. Giulanio Ansaldi and John-Watkins Glen, the team's highest-ranked drivers will take on the PRO category. The driver lineup for AM will include Madeleine Brookland and Lucien Lachapelle, but stay tuned in the coming weeks. Okuma Motorsports have proven that they are capable of being an extremely competitive team with a win last season, and look to get the results this season to further back it up. *Follow Okuma Motorsports on Tripwire! @okuma_ms* *TEAM TRACKER* *Drivers:* Giulanio Ansaldi Net Handle: @giu_ansaldi Nationality: Italy Birthday and Age: April 23, 27 years old Stats: Skill: 20/30 Consistency: 12/15 Preservation 12/15 Tenacity: 13/15 Base Hiring Cost: *2,380,000* Experience Level: 53; GOLD Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 50% Specialties: Sportscar Summary: Born and raised in Maranello, Italy, Giulanio Ansaldi was a typical boy with a passion for cars, and basically anything with four wheels and an engine. Just around the age of 10, he decided that he really wanted to pursue the career of being a professional race car driver. Starting out racing karts in northern Italy, Giulanio was an instant superstar. He won multiple national championships, and contended in the world championships as well. Soon after, he decided that he would rather focus his career in sports car racing, instead of open wheel racing. Giulanio was soon picked up by Okuma Motorsports to compete in the TIRE JSGT series, where he helped fellow teammate Jacob Descoteau to a GT500 victory in their first race. Sadly soon after, the series was cancelled, and Okuma MS pulled out of the reboot in hopes of finding competitive racing elsewhere. In the first season of the GRL, Giulanio took home a win over teams like Team Pezzarinho, which was a major accomplishment. Currently the team's leading driver, Giu's career is still in its youth. Roleplaying Notes: -Very energetic -Makes many sarcastic comments and corny jokes -Rather humble and conservative, but can still have an aggressive side at times -Easily entertained -Not afraid to voice his opinion John-Watkins Glen Nationality: American Net Handle: @jwg17 Birthday and Age: June 17th, 31 years old Stats: Skill: 21/30 Consistency: 8/15 Composure: 10/15 Tenacity: 15/15 Initial Hiring Cost: *1,850,000 CR* Experience Level: 50; SILVER Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 30% Specialties: Grand Prix, Oval Summary: If you are looking for an extremely adventurous and dare-devilish personality, well, John-Watkins will exceed those expectations by a mile. He's not a redneck that blasts country-rap music in his monster truck Ford F-150 however; in fact he hates that kind of stuff. He's more like Travis Pastrana's twin brother personality. Parasailing with ski's across the mountain ledges and bungee jumping off a tower is just the norm for him, because he enjoys the thrill of fear and knowing that you're on the edge of death. Sounds a bit masochistic if you ask me, but I digress. He was born in the sticks of New York, and his parents cleverly named him John-Watkins, named after the infamous road course of Watkins Glen. Looking to make something interesting out of his life, he thought of what better way to do it than to start a racing career. He started from karts and was quite the prodigy at the time. He went on to win 3 championships their, along with another 2 in his Formula Ford career. He went into F3 for only 2 seasons; however, his F3 career was the only one where he never won a championship. He had competed in 3 seasons of Lightning Car in the last league he was in and managed to get 2nd in his 3rd championship season. Even though he had mostly competed in Grand Prix type races, he did a little oval racing on the side here and there, so he does have a little experience there. Now he's in GRL, looking to take his successful career even further than before. Roleplaying Notes: -He's very adventurous and daring. He'll always have an idea of what he should maybe do next if (for example) he sees the Dubai tower and has the idea that maybe it would be cool if there was a bungee jump on it. -Even though he acts tough and buff all the time, has a good heart and cares deeply for his friends and family. -Has an absolute golden radio voice. -Not serious all the time; in fact, jokes and sarcasm are common with him. Lucien Lachapelle Net Handle: @lucienlachapelle Nationality: France Birthday and Age: August 5, 29 years old Stats: Skill: 17/30 Consistency: 12/15 Potential:10/15 Tenacity: 10/15 Initial Hiring Cost: *1,180,000 CR* Experience Level: 45; SILVER Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 30% Specialties: Sportscar Summary: Lucien Lachapelle hails from a small town just outside of Paris, France, called Anet. His love for motorsports and automobiles started at a young age, as his dad would always take him to the legendary Le Mans 24 Hour race, at the Circuit de La Sarthe. Each time a car roared past, he would be able to name it, and it's drivers. He knew everything there was to know about endurance and sports car racing at an age that would surprise very many. He dreamed of becoming the driver of one of those cars as it roared down the Mulsanne, pedal to the metal. He got into karting in France around 15 years old. Although he was rather late to start, he picked up quicker than anyone could ever, winning 10 races in his first season. The following two years, he won national championships in France and England, respectively. After runing up the ranks, he was quickly selected by Okuma Motorsports to race in the TIRE JSGT's first season as a teammate to Giulanio Ansladi. During the first GRL season, Lucien had a highest finish of 3rd, and helped the team in large ways. Roleplaying Notes: -Somewhat shy, keeps to himself -Always is open to new things, and taking risks (on and off the track) -Like to chill with fellow drivers in the paddock Madeleine Brookland Net Handle: @madeleine_brookland Nationality: United Kingdom Birthday and Age: May 10, 20 years old Stats: Skill: 18/30 Consistency: 12/15 Preservation: 11/15 Tenacity: 11/15 Initial Hiring Cost: *1,550,000 CR* Experience Level: 49; SILVER Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 30% Specialties: Sports Car Summary: Madeleine Brookland grew up in the town of Weybridge, UK, in a very motorsports-influenced family. You may know of Waybridge as the home of the famous, but now out of use, Brooklands racing circuit, which hosted countless grands prix. Her grandfather was a famous grand prix racer at the circuit back in the 1930s, and won many races. Motorsports are a large part in the Brookland household, made evident by 3 generations of racing. Madeleine started off in racing at a very early age - 6 years old, in fact. Her dad wanted her to become the next female racing prodigy, so he put her into a kart at this early age. She won numerous races, and eventually was brought onto a professional karting team during her teenage years. After taking home two championships, she moved into lower tier formula cars, but she soon realized that open wheel was not her calling. In a GT test day at Silverstone, she topped the charts by seconds, and had a large gap over everyone else. It was then that she realized she wanted to pursue racing GT cars. Now, she looks to race in the GT categories of the Global Racing League. Roleplaying Notes: - Always has a positive spirit, and always can be found with a smile on her face - Rarely gets angry or mad at anyone else - If something is her fault, she'll own up to it and proceed to be hard on herself - Madeleine is a rather humble racer, and is definitely not a showoff *Cars:* Chevrolet Corvette C7-JS.R Chassis: - Hoshi - Sutoraipu Category: GT Endurance PRO Cost per Car: *1,000,000 CR* Base Peak Power: 710 horsepower Base Curb Weight: 1061 kilograms Base Reliability: 65% Weight Distribution: 49% Front / 51% Rear Top Speed: 318 km/h (~200 mph) Parts Equipped: - Astaroth "Behemoth RR" Race Tires - Basic Engine Tuning - 1x Advanced Engine Tuning - 5x Basic R&D Lighter Components - Body Aero Analysis - 1x Advanced Body Aero Analysis - 1x Extreme Reliability Analysis - 2x Grueling Endurance Test - Power-Spec EMS - Race Camshaft - Wing Aero Analysis - 1x Advanced Wing Aero Analysis Honda NSX-R J-GTE Chassis: - Akuma - Saisei - Taiyo Category: GT Endurance AM Cost per Car: *275,000 CR* Base Peak Power: 607 horsepower Base Curb Weight: 1185 kilograms Base Reliability: 50% Weight Distribution: 47% Front / 53% Rear Top Speed: 290 km/h (about 180 mph) Parts Equipped: - Astaroth "Behemoth RR" Race Tires - Basic Engine Tuning - 3x Basic R&D Lighter Components - Body Aero Analysis - Eco-Spec EMS & Power-Spec EMS - 2x Extreme Reliability Analysis - 2x Grueling Endurance Test - Race Camshaft - Wing Aero Analysis *Engineers:* Amelia Coltman Nationality: Canadian Class: Tactician Current Level: Level 2, 2 Phases to Next Level 0 Perk: Friend to all Engineers; +1 Engineer Capacity.

GTRacer22 • Member Posts: 156 Likes: 105 Gender: Male	Post by GTRacer22 on Apr 5, 2016 10:16:54 GMT -5 *Okuma Motorsports Follows Up On Monza* Following Saturday's race at Monza, things at the Okuma Motorsports HQ have been rather busy, to say the least. This all comes with the first round of the JSA Saikou no Taikyu League scheduled to start this week with practice testing, and later qualifying and racing, at Twin Ring Motegi, in Motegi, Japan. However, things will not be so easy for the bunch. The team and Giulanio will need to get used to the new chassis that was just sent in as a replacement for 'Kemono', which was totaled in a first lap crash at Monza. Lucien and his crew will also face difficulties. However, they aren't of the same type. Lucien will need to pick up his pace after the past two one-point finishes in the AESS in hopes of scoring a good amount of points to get a head-start on the championship. The following consists of the post race interview of both drivers, as well as team manager Hideyoshi, following the struggles of Monza. Radio Endurance Nation: Hey listeners, its Radio Endurance Nation here with the guys from Okuma Motorsports. Tough day guys, how are you feeling? Giulanio Ansaldi: Meh, not great, not bad. Just really bummed out. I'm fine following that crash, but its just really frustrating. You know what I'm geting at, right? REN: Yep, its understandable. How about you, Lucien? Lucien Lachapelle: I'm feeling rather tired, I suppose. That race really took its toll on me. Having to claw up through the field to 14th place was really fun, though! REN: That's great to hear, it was really fun to watch. Anyways, the first question is for Giu. What are your thought on that crash? GA: I don't know what the hell that dumbass was thinking, honestly. I mean, how hard is it to wait until all the cars have gone by before rejoining the track. I don't care if Andreas (atlas) has his side of the story. That was just pure asshattery. Nothing more, nothing less. Money can't buy you commo sense, I suppose. REN: What went through your mind when you saw that Supra rejoining the track right in front of you? GA: I honestly don't think I'd be allowed to fully voice my thoughts here, so I think I'll avoid sharing that. I'm just glas I could walk away from it. REN: Alright Giu, thanks for your time. Now, on to Lucien. How happy are you with today's performance? LL: Given that we started 24th on the grid at a track like Monza, I'm extremely proud of mine, and my team's efforts today. The fact we were able to gain 10 positions through the race is a real feat, haha! REN: What do you guys have in store for the competition for Catalunya? LL: I'm afraid that information might be a bit secret, so all I can say is that the other teams are gonna have to watch out. We're putting in much more effort and are gunning for that podium. REN: Alright, thanks Lucien. Oh, hey there Hideyoshi, glad to see you here! Mind if I ask a couple of questions? Hideyoshi Okuma: Sure thing! REN: Alright, so, how do you feel about your team's performance so far this season? HO: Well, given it is still very early, I think we're doing rather well for being new to GRL. Its just been the bad luck for us. We haven't been able to catch a good break, which is frustrating, but I am sure that our day will come soon enough. REN: Good to hear. Do you feel your team has the strength to compete for the championship if the luck goes your way? HO: Absolutely. No doubt abut it. I have total faith in my guys, and Giulanio and Lucien are top-notch drivers who can get the job done, no matter the circumstance. REN: How do you feel about the BoP adjustments made to the NSX for Round 3 of the AESS? HO: First off, the gearing changes should help a lot, due to how strecthed out they previously were. Now that they are a bit closer, we can utilize the torque that the NSX provides. Secondly, the power increase will definitely help us on corner exit, as well as on the long straights. I feel that that is where the NSX was previously lacking, so we will see how it turns out this weekend. REN: Okay Hideyoshi, I think that's all I've got time for right now. Thanks for allowing me to sneak in a few questions! HO: No problem, it was all my pleasure! Arigatou gozaimasu!

GTRacer22 • Member Posts: 156 Likes: 105 Gender: Male	Post by GTRacer22 on Aug 1, 2016 2:34:26 GMT -5 Okuma Motorsports Unveil Cars Adelaide, SA, Australia - In case you missed our live stream of the unveiling of our cars, we've prepared this special report to showcase the cars for Season 2 of the Global Racing League. We purchased two Chevrolet Corvette C7-JS.R's, which were specifically specified to run in the GTE PRO category. 3 Honda NSX-R J-GTE's were purchased as well - two as the main cars, and one as a spare. Now, you may be wondering, why didn't you guys just keep your NSX racers from last season? Well, we sold them because they went out of specification this season, and they would no longer meet the regulations for this season. So, we bought the three new chassis to maintain our support of Honda with a more up-to-date race car. It also helps as we have all of our notes from last season on what worked and what didn't, so we will be able to transfer most of those over to our newer NSX's. Over the off season, we've developed partnerships with various companies from all sorts of industries - from manufacturers of brake systems to manufacturers of GRL-approved, race-spec, princess fire suits (However, we only bought the standard fire suits. I know you all want to see Giu in the princess one, but we have a tight budget!). Our main sponsor is Arkbird, who is a manufacturer of aerodynamic parts for race cars. They supplied us with various parts to improve the aerodynamics of our cars. We came to an agreement with Aotech, as well. Aotech is a developer of green, environmentally-friendly racing fuels and oils, who strive to make the motorsports scene a cleaner place. Other notable sponsors involve Zakato, the team's brake supplier, Star2Star, who make the princess racing apparel, Stayer, the team's suspension component supplier, and Astaroth, who will be supplying the tires for the team over the course of the season. As most of you will remember from last season, in the J-SA SnT League, we ran our famed Okuma livery on both of our NSX racers. However for this season, we decided to switch it up a bit. The Corvette's will be running a rather minimalist scheme, with the traditional Okuma blue and yellow colors. The two cars will have inverted colors, in order to tell them apart from each other out on the racetrack. On the NSX side, we have stuck with the Okuma logotype livery. However, unlike last season, the cars will have inverted colors, and will not look the same. This is for the same reason as with the Corvette's - to distinguish them from each other. Without further adieu, we present to you the Season 2 Okuma Motorsports liveries! #22 Corvette C7-JS.R, driven by Giulanio Ansaldi #29 Corvette C7-JS.R, driven by Lucien Lachapelle #77 NSX-R J-GTE, driven by Madeleine Brookland #222 NSX-R J-GTE, driven by John-Watkins Glen We hope you enjoyed our special report of the Okuma Motorsports Season 2 Livery Reveal! Stay tuned for further information regarding this weekend's race in Adelaide. You can also keep updated by following us on Tripwire @okuma_ms! Dewa, mata ne!
