Bringing this over from the Shift 2 Dakota thread I definitely think it would be better to get @Railer Cantrell in for this race on a different date if at all possible.

We have all missed one race so it’s all even stevens in that respect and it would be such a shame to see it fizzle out at this final stage of a really fun and competitive season.

Michael and Railer can have a great last race shoot out for the top spot while at the same time Railer and myself can fight it out for the runners up spot (not that I am thinking I’ll be up to his pace here lol..). Without Railer at this race I am guaranteed second spot and I would much rather race for it than have it handed to me on a plate.

Not unless you are better than a 1:38 are you going to be a shoe in for second.

You've misunderstood me there Robert.. I wasn't referring to this race, I am talking about second overall in the standings..

If Railer doesn't race I take second just for turning up.

You know me.. tortoise and hare.. i'll never be quick without practice but i'll make the flag lol

hi, i'm search skin for e30 Bastos Rally livery or Warsteiner dtm

Rob · Apr 24, 2015

No, I think we both misunderstood each other. I know you will get second. I was talking about second place. The A.I. are running 1:38s.

lol I never expected to get second place, I haven't turned a lap here so far so will just be looking to avoid the walls and the AI and reach the flag.

Are we definitely rescheduling this race to find a day when Railer can make it?

Railer Cantrell · Apr 25, 2015

Sorry guys I have a funeral to attend tomorrow that's why I can't turn up for the finale. Wish both title protagonists the best. If it gets rescheduled let me know.
I like Watts about running some GS. Robert I wasn't aware about the BTCC cars on PCARS. Guess there will be lots to learn about PCARS when it comes out.

Yea, I'm not sure what's going on with the reschedule. I can't do it Sunday, but feel free to do it yourselves, as I have plenty of other races to make. The only other options for me are 6pm U.S. on Tues or Wed on next week.

pCARS is not really geared toward non-European Series' since most of the cars are in European Racing Series' and are race prepared, with no modifications available, thank God. Tuning is quite deep, though. There is the off Mustang and Chevy, though. They did not get the Ferrari license or the Porsche license, but did get Ruf.

Peter Hooper · Apr 25, 2015

Wednesday would be ok for me,that would be10 or 11 my time?

Michael Watts · Apr 25, 2015

I don't mind Wednesday, but I never know how late my work can run

I'm usually off by 5, but my job has a tendency to send me all over the state... (ie. 3hr drive from my house to Myrtle Beach)

Michael Watts · Apr 25, 2015

my best so far here is a 1:38.385 against the AI. AI on hard was only running about 1.40's at least OFFLINE. My best online is only a 1.39.2XX the car is a real challenge to control. Controller users can go a lot faster because you have to counter steer the force feedback (a lot) and I find myself trail braking deep into the corners.

Rob · Apr 25, 2015

I have an idea. For me to make it worth rescheduling (an quite frankly it's pointless without it) why don't we do two things. 1. Use today as a massive level up session for everyone (except Railer, who I suspect can get with Michael over the week or even tomorrow); and 2. Be sure to move it to a day that Michael can be available and so can Railer. Either Tuesday and Wednesday we can go on the fly or we can move it to next Saturday.
I personally think that will be the only reason and only way a move would be logical.

Michael Watts · Apr 25, 2015

It would be good to practice with some people on the track with it being so tight. I've been working on using patience with the car. So I'd like to get some laps starting from the rear.

Happy to do that but would prefer it to be at Barcelona to get some practice in there and get used to the car.

Matthew Booth · Apr 25, 2015

What time is practice guys?

Michael Watts · Apr 25, 2015

Same Bat time, same Bat Channel...

Matthew Booth · Apr 25, 2015

Ain't going to make it missus wants to want film

Peter Hooper · Apr 26, 2015

Thanks for the leveling tonight @Robert Waddell @Michael Watts. Got to 50's on suspension, ride height and brakes i think and the rest just at middle or full left or right. Gives me something to play with offline at least. Really struggle with this car but hopefully with a run of laps rather then one lappers I'll find some sort of consistency but don't think ill get below 1:40

Railer Cantrell · Apr 26, 2015

Tuesday or wednesday is fine with me i will be available around 5:30

Michael Watts · Apr 26, 2015

It took my a while to run in the 38's. I didn't know it was possible. And the more laps you run the better the times will be. That (1.37.407) lap was just perfect and I surprised myself because it didn't feel that fast. I don't even know if I could run that again. I'm not really pushing the car hard, just trying to run clean laps and backing off the throttle when the car gets out of shape.
