[Sakis Politis]

Schedule is tight and workload is but sign me up anyway!

I'll definitely be there to keep Sakis on his toes for the first race Time for another good battle mate.

Stewy I hope you are up there with us this time. We need a good 3 way fight for the win.

I wasn't planning to participate but I can't leave your challenge unanswered even if I had no practice at all... Really looking forward to a great battle!

I ran this today (I do not know that track - do we get the driving line this week??) and managed 1:40 with the Cooper S'11, CS, completely stock. That probably puts me about 8 seconds a lap behind you guys, at a guess

Do love racing Minis though. Shame we can't get all the PS3 Mini lovers and have our own Mini-Fridays.

This Friday I talked GoM into a Mini race, but they don't Sim like we do here, so it's 3 races at 500PP - have to use the new mini and the old mini at least once each. (1)No boost Clean, (2)Low Boost Clean, (3)High-Boost anything goes. *coughs*

Lobby is up and running for any eager beavers

nope, as the driving line is considered a driving aid

Pity mate, I was looking forward to a good scrap

Thanks for the races guys. I was right about the speed difference - easily 8 secs a lap slower than the winners. I'll never be as fast as you guys as I just can't throw the car about the way you do.

I tried not to get in the way on race 2. Wolf bumped me into the cliff and then waited for me to catch up again. Thanks. It was fun being in the pack for a few corners for a change.

3rd race, someone went for an inside line that wasn't there going into the bridge and bumped me out. Couldn't slow it to avoid the barrier, couldn't turn in (flashing indicator lit), hit barrier, spun. Everyone steamed off and I quit as it seemed best for all concerned not to have me on their racing line.

Have fun.

Don't mention it. You were going to hot into the corner and started braking at the point where I didn't expect it, just as I gave it more throttle to squeeze through. It was unavoidable, but still it's never nice to push someone of the track.

 

[Jonathan Seekings]

Good night of racing, but disappointed i didn't get another win

Race 1- P4- tried to stay with the three leaders but couldn't keep up.

Race 2- P3- put mediums on the rear and was more competitive but slower :\ Was keeping up with dan, oli and dubravko, but hit the wall at the bottom of the hill and cruised home. Fortunately for me dan made a mistake at the last corner and i slipped through.

Race 3- P4- tried mediums on the front and understeered like a bitch so dropped back quickly. pitted and put softs back on the front. Dan and oli waited for me and pissed around to the finish.

Race 4- P2- Got in front of everyone and held it until lap 4 when dubravko took me but i couldn't keep up.

Looking forward to racing you guys more.

Anyone got the replay files for this event? Im doing all the shots I didnt get over the last few events. Thats the KTM and GT30 ones. So if someone can upload them to mediafire then that would be sweet.

 

[Connor Caple]

I always forget to save a replay - must start doing that

Anyone know what the plans are for this Tuesday yet?

 

[Richard Coleman]

No idea mate. If Stewy doesn't post something by Monday NZ time I will. No guarantees on the quality of the server tho since I'm yet to try hosting something.

Also side note: Shots of last few events I made it to will be posted tomorrow. Been watching the Wellington 7s yesterday and today.

 

[Stuart Pocock]

Useless hotel wifi, being trying to post since Thursday night, Im away an won't be back till Thursday/Friday

 

[Richard Coleman]

I can't host either. I've got work again on Wed morning... GRRR So much for my day off. I'm taking fri-mon off tho so something will happen between then. I'll have a discussion with Stewy about something.
