We didn't have one, so now we do!

I might try and think up a Club Event soon! Probably at Fujimi Kaido.

 

[t.o.]

Already raced tonight!

Any plans for a meet over a weekend?

Well the Inaugural WRTCC season is over. I've yet to create the last vid but I'm already working on the next series. What I need to know is there at least 4 people here who would be able to run on the weekends for sure and which day can you guys agree on? If the things sound right then I will host this on the weekend.

 

[Wayne Thomas]

I am pretty sure there would be a few of us available/interested. Me for one.

 

[Chris Bell]

Im there matey, either sat or sun is ok, i do work some Saturdays so any time after 2pm GMT on Sat is fine, any time Sunday!!

 

[Wayne Thomas]

Can one of you special peeps ( moderators) start a thread to get this off the ground ... It sounds too good an opportunity to pass. Intercontinental racing - maybe some US and EU tracks?

 

[Chris Bell]

Will chat about it later on if you like to get it set up wayne

Or were you just getting better with practice? Jump back in stock and see what you can do after all the testing ......

 

[Andrew Skinner]

no it was just one flying lap per target. i have started writing up how im doing everything in a useful tuning guide based on the video, may need it proff red at some point

 

[Wayne Thomas]

Better if you get it 'proof' read!

 

[Andrew Skinner]

The long awaited Part 2 of team VVV tuning guide is here

 

[Andrew Skinner]

Ok, for those who are not so good at tuning this is a very good Series from Team VVV
Note: I added brakes as im using no assists on a Pad and keep locking up so added them in

my times were
With Upgraded Suspension and Anti-Roll Bars And Brakes:1:08.148 0.1 slower
Tuned Suspension, Arbs and Brakes (60% pressure): 1:06.651

just for a laugh i brought another civic and wacked everything handling wise inc gearbox, driveline etc etc
time with exact same setup as vid 1:05.194. i will create a seperate thread where i can add them all
