[David Turnbull]

vote closes tonight guys, hurry if you want to get a vote in

although, will it make much diffrence? looks like we may have a new destination to travel to, so pack the suitcases guys, we may be off to the netherlands very soon

p.s i'll probably arrive a bit late, i heard amsterdam is on the way

 

[Peter Decker]

yeah David, I know a perfect hostel near the van Gogh museum, we can team up there and "do" Amsterdam

 

[David Turnbull]

Sounds good Peter

I'll get the munchie's in

 

[David Turnbull]

well, we have our winner guys, cya all at zandvoort

 

[Peter Decker]

bumps + rain = Peter finally win!

 

[David Turnbull]

your getting closer, but a day at the dam before might see us in not too great a shape come race day so i'd take just finishing as a win right now

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

Do we have a download link to Zandvoort? I couldn't find it on nogrip for some reason.

 

[David Turnbull]

its an ingame track?

well i was sure it was, havent tried yet.

EDIT: yes nico its ingame, ive put a server up atm until your around to do it, zandvoort07

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

Nothing is better than an in-game track Servers are open.

 

[Bob Miley]

So sad its Zandvoort. It is way to bumpy for me and may be the only race I could miss by choice. I have done 25 outlaps up to now but crashed in sector 2 every lap after. I will continue to practice, but it is already more hard work than enjoyment.

 

[David Turnbull]

try my setup bob, i done the same every lap, it was ride height made the diffrence, no more spins

 

[Bob Miley]

Thanks David, I tried your set up and it was no help at all, until I stopped treating it like a tin top and stopped lifting over the bumps. Full on works best and now I only crash 50% of the time. My heart sank when I came home today to see what track it was, but I feel with another week of practice I could finish the race.

 

[David Turnbull]

Thats good to hear Bob

I must admit Zandvoort is a lot different than what Presto would usually use, for me its saving grace is that its a former F1 track, the layout is decent and its made by simbin, on the negatives its track width and bumps aren't great but I said before that if anyone can make it work at Zandvoort its us and I stand by that.

This is my fault anyhoo, I gave everyone the choice of tracks to add to the vote when most likely the better solution would've been to use one that we've used plenty times in the past i.e Imola or Nurburgring, but we are here now and after 12 seasons we go to a new venue, can't be that bad, can it?

I thought this was my fault for nominating Zandvoort in the first place

 

[David Turnbull]

Agreed, we should all blame Nelson.

Why would you do this Nelson?

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.... good challenge and new track

 

[David Turnbull]

its a challenge im enjoying at the moment, great fun to be trying a new track and getting to grips with the setup for it, we'll find out on wednesday how it is with a few folk on track but ive no fears, should be a good one.
