Transcribing becomes work when I have to add a name, juggle text to bring it in line. But I like you guys and gals.

I might be able to do this

It will either end up being Friday or this, most certainly not both and I will post when information becomes clearer

I like the track a lot, but I really love the car mod. It's just the fit for many of the other tracks I've collected.

Edit - uh oh. reverse just broke on my shifter

Hi guys. is a pitstop mandatory? standing or flying start?

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Tuesday is 2 races, each 20 minutes long, no pitstop, standing start. No aids other than auto clutch, damage at 100%, no forced cockpit view. Grid reverses top 8 for race 2.

Steam seems against me today...

I am trying to get on but it won't start. If I am there, then there I am. If not... well then the problem is keeping me from it

Sorry to admit I missed the qual and was a few minutes lates.
Well then, thursday for me.

 

[James Price-Harper]

Fabulous racing on this one g's. The STCC cars never seem to disappoint. The race long battle with Alex and Bjorn in the first race was really tense but ultimately i got my way past them both with a spectacular, airborne double overtake at the crest of the corkscrew that left the spectators watering at the mouth

Race 2 was more subdued. I spent most of the time on my own but I had good battles with Tobias mid way through and Murat late on.

I make that three podiums in three for me. Long may that trend continue

Aaaand thus the influx from RRR and various other sources (?) continues - great stuff, keep 'em coming

As for the event, after trying a few cars in practice sessions (again), I opted to go for the Cruze and will likely stick with it, nice car
During P1 & P2, James was pretty fast and we took turns in setting new bests - in qualifying though, Lee decided to join in and the Sciroccos snatched first row, leaving me in P3.

Now, I kinda liked that because that meant it would be quite an opportunity to see if those are as "overpowered" as it's claimed every once in a while/every 3rd or 4th STCC2 event Spoiler alert: IMHO, they aren't. While quite fast cars, they are definitely beatable

Back to the action: I started lousy into race #1, or so I thought - it seems like it was actually Alex having a fantastic start outshining all others - he quickly took the lead, I managed to pass Lee and tried to get up to Alex & James in front.
Going into L4, I had finally reached him, so It seemed only logical to.. go off into the gravel in T1. Great. Well, onto the track again (fortunately, I didn't lose positions) and restarting the hunt. Managed to pass him somewhere in L8 (I think?), only to go into L9 and... off into the gravel in T1. Hrrrnnng.
Once again, back to the track, back to the hunt and a few laps later, I finally went by and stayed there. Well, until the second-to-last lap, anyways, because that's when I somehow misjudged my braking point going into the last turn and crashed into Alex spinning him around - sorry about that! James passed and at the very least, I managed to not go into the gravel during the last lap - P3!

Starting fairly well into race #2 (from P6), I survived the T1 shenanigans and found myself in 3rd position - passed Tobias rather quickly leaving only Murat in front of me.. who had finished 8th (I think) in race #1, so I wasn't quite expecting what followed, to be honest - he put on a great pace and it took me almost the whole race to catch & pass him - nice racing
Soon afterwards, James managed to get into P2 but the gap built up till then turned out to be more than enough

Great racing, nicely filled grid, see you again!

/edit: I noticed you guys were sporting factory-new, white Sciroccos? Any liveries we should know about?

 

[Campbell Wallis]

That went quite hilariously badly. My car was so unstable it was almost undriveable throughout practice and qualifying. Switching to the default set-up helped a little for race 1, but I was still slow and quite often spinning, and I retired after causing a few leaders problems, so sorry about that.

A few changes helped somewhat for race 2, and at times I was running a little faster than the cars immediately in front (although still about 15 seconds up the road). However, it was still very unstable, and after a few more spins I had a moment of brain fade and crashed at the kink towards turn 1 (above), doing quite a bit of damage and ending my race.

Still, it can only get better.

First Lap race 2 great race

 

[Miguel Robles]

sing mi please very fun this cars and laguna seca

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Well, I had a skin for its o I drove the Cruze. I don;t spend a lot of time choosing a car but I do spend the time to make changes to settings so the car drives better for me. In the end it was faster than what was sitting in the garage.

This track usually brings out the racer in us, certainly did this time. I had to work hard in both races, good races with Tobias, Miguel, Lee and Michel. Hard enough I pushed my tires past the limits each time and the car was quite slippery towards the end of both races.

I'm sure it will be just as tough on Thursday, see you there!
