@Dennis Phelan You appear to have me twice in the sign up list. Just FYI.

 

[Lars Hansen]

@Paul Jeffrey @LuckyLIVE @Roy Magnes @Francis76 @Oscar Hardwick
Any chance we can woo you away from R3E for a night?

 

[Christopher Vrettos]

Please sign me up?

 

[Lars Hansen]

In!
Don't know the track, but it's Minis.

 

[Quas]

@Dennis Phelan it seems that second "Jim Nobbs" should have been me instead, you missed my sign up .

 

[Mark Gormley]

Me please @Dennis

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

@Lars Hansen thanks for the tag fella, sadly a bit short notice for me and I've got something planned... maybe next week tho..

 

[Sven-Arne Andersson]

Sign me up please

 

[Francis76]

Hey, thanks for the invite, @Lars Hansen. As I've never played the game, I decided to downloaded the trial. Wow! The FFB is very good, and the physics are not bad either! So I'm currently downloading the full game from Steam so I can grab a race here and there with you guys.

 

[Warren Schembri]

Apologies to those behind me but for some reason the game froze on me with major stuttering and everything returned back to normal there were cars all around me. Hopefully I didn't cause any damage to anyone.

Was doing well also. Started in 5th position and had moved up to 3rd

 

[Kurt Vanhee]

Owkay, i'll be the 1st victim then

 

[Christopher Vrettos]

Great racing, chaps

Nice one, mate
It's obscure tracks and some decidedly weird cars, but the racing is absolutely fantastic.

 

[Jyscalus]

Thanks for the race! Was my first online one , and great fun. Pity I decided to meet the barrier close up!

 

[Lars Hansen]

Wheeee!
Whoever thinks you need V8s and RWD to race...You're really missing out.
Spent the first few laps just trying to avoid the crowd, then there was a three-car incident in turn 1. Couldn't see anything but tire-smoke, but somehow managed to nip through and suddenly found myself in P9.
I think that's the first time in my online-racing career that I've been anything but dead last.

Then followed the most intense racing I've ever experienced, a three-way battle between Sven-Arne, Ivan and myself. First me and Ivan traded places a few times, then me and S-A had one hell of a duel going. Little bit of contact spun me out though, which put an end to that.
After that I went looking for a top 10 finish, but by then the tires were shot, and I couldn't get anywhere near.

Holy crap, that was fun....Still amazes me how quickly 40 minutes can pass.
Nice one guys, and hopefully see you next time.

No worries.
Figured it was worth a shot.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Lars Hansen, Obscure tracks indeed! You had better do an inventory of the default tracks in the game

A big thanks to all for signing up for our first Mini Friday event. Well done and with much fun! Expect some pit stop action, once in a while, and maybe a race length chance at times also.

I was advantaged by a big shunt early on and knew I would get caught up by the end, just pushed as hard as I could. Ran the fuel tank dry just as time ran out, had a pitstop preset but just said, Nah, and continued pushing as a good race was better than a finish..

 

[James Grant]

In!
Minis in GSC are, if possible, even more fun than they were in Race07

Btw, @James Grant and @Nobkins , if you're looking to gain some experience, the Minis are a great offering.
Not much power, so the pace is a bit more sedate, and they're very forgiving of driver-errors so you can more or less chuck 'em about to your hearts content.
I certainly aim to.

@Lars Hansen Thanks for the tag but I've only just got home, hopefully next time I can join in the fun. Who won?

 

[Lars Hansen]

@Lars Hansen, Obscure tracks indeed! You had better do an inventory of the default tracks in the game

Well, they're obscure to me.
What little I know about Brazil has very little to do with racing.
(And quite a bit more to do with beaches and bikinis. )

First time i had a competitive pace (qualified 7th) and then this in L2...

Was in the inside of John Nobbs, but he was still in front, so it was my fault, no doubt, but i just didn't have any space to go.

Sorry for any inconvenience, i am really sorry.
But i had to pay a huge price - pits, and once again hotlapping instead of racing.
(Although the few laps Bradley and i had were fun - and then trying to catch up to Ivan and Dennis *g*)

I have learned a lot - the track, the car, and what not to do in L2
