[Carlos Diaz]

Sorry lads - got a work do that night - Gots to pull out, i'm afraid

Ouch, you'll be missed Thommo.

 

[Philip Brown]

I better get my name in...looks like another good one!

 

[Senad Subasic]

I fear for the future of good people around me in the second race. My lead foot and that Cobra don't like each other.

 

[Carlos Diaz]

Senad, you grabbed the second version of my setup?

 

[Senad Subasic]

Senad, you grabbed the second version of my setup?

Mhm, but haven't tried it out yet. Just the Abarth and Cobra with v1s.

 

[Carlos Diaz]

v2 is more stable for the Cobra. The gears are longer so it "feels" like you are going slower but you arent. You end up going quicker cuz you can apply the gas through the turn with more control and it's less likely to spin out.

 

[Dana Ciul]

Okay Carlos sign me up but if you get too many drivers and an old hand wants to race you can bump me off the grid. Along about the fifteenth lap I promise to look in my rear view mirror.

 

[Carlos Diaz]

I don't think I will ever get more than 36 drivers Dana, so your spot is secured.
Glad to have you join us :thumb:

P.S. Looks like you are driving the Cobra in Race 1, so race 2 will seem like a walk in park after getting through race1.

 

[Amir Margalit]

[Neil Gault]

Ouch, you'll be missed Thommo.

Bad news - Total practice time to date = 0 mins / 0 laps. Fear the snake.:ghost:

 

[Avi El]

Hi , sign me up pls

 

[Carlos Diaz]

It's freakin great to have you join us, Stu.:bang:

Now get out there and do some laps!:tongue:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I won't get home until an hour before event start, so Pracco time v. limited.

My performance tonight could well get filed under the category of 'interesting' :good:

 

[Carlos Diaz]

The old leaderbords had you as having over 11000 kilometers driven in GTL events (not including offline KMs). You probably know all the cars like the back of your hand lol! I know the 131 is new to us, so maybe not that one.

You just need to go around the track 5 or 6 times to memorize the turns and you're set. :thumb:

I predict you will do just fine.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Oh, no, the track's not an issue, and I suspect neither is the 131.

The Cobra - that would be proverbial whole new ball game. We've never really seen eye-to-eye.

 

[Neil Gault]

count me out for tonight guys, just got back from the eye test and i will not be ready in time :frown:

 

[Roman Kruszewski]

You won't be al;one with this experience, same for me

 

[Ondrej Kapal]
