Do you have the speeding tickets to prove it.

Not "caught" in means of by the police or anything like that

I was just supposed to take a quick trip up north and ended up touring the whole damn country

Not going to race tomorrow. ('m seeing some old friends

Stefan Weber · Jan 12, 2020

Does anyone have a decent and stable setup for the 650s?

640er · Jan 12, 2020

Guess there is no better place to start with GT3 racing then Atlanta. Sign me up pls - Z4

Did some laps today with all the cars, good fun. The 650S feels quickest but the Z4 more stable and a good choice for doing 60min (I hope). Ferrari was quite fun too but I would need more time to practice with that lady.

@Medilloni you shall not pass this time (at least not at the esses

)

I think there is a decent Bathurst version knocking about - I think John @Medilloni posted a copy of it a while back. If you google it I'm sure you will find it.

Nuno Rodrigues · Jan 12, 2020

so few drivers... Feels like two events (AC competizione and this one) may be too much. This way both events lose.
Should consider making each onein each sunday alternate

Hi Stefan, attached is the 650S setup @pattikins Patrick just mentioned, it was for Bathurst originally but is stable (at least imo

). Obviously adjust gears, pressures etc - from memory, I think you can take a couple of clicks off rear wing for Atlanta too.

Thanks, I will try that and see how it works!

GEO147 · Jan 12, 2020

I think we still have 10 or so for tonight? I'm looking forward to it.

Medilloni · Jan 12, 2020

@JoelK is it too late to swap me to SCG?

GEO147 · Jan 12, 2020

@Craig Dunkley this has been changed to a 30 min race tonight. Just thought I'd let you know

Chark · Jan 12, 2020

Hello, I would like to sign up with the Audi R8, please.

Chris Down · Jan 12, 2020

That was a really refreshing race, having to manage the softs way harder than you would have to the mediums, since one oversteer means the next few laps are going to be hell. @Erik Axelsson kept me on my toes especially in qualifying, that's for sure

Happy to have a mistake-free race on such a demanding course, especially with such sketchy tyres towards the end of the race. Thanks @JoelK for organising!

GEO147 · Jan 12, 2020

Stefan sorry for holding you up with that spin. I was right up Enzo's chuff probably Over driving and not factoring in the lack of down force, and I just lost it.
Learned a lot tonight as I was actually putting in decent times so could actually keep up for a change. The lesson being that you cant treat a race like hotlapping or you will pay.
It was good fun racing you Han for a while but my earlier spin had cooked my left rear and she was very squirmy after that. Hope my driving wasnt too agressive. We were door to door a few times but never touched I don't think

Until next week lads!

Thanks Joel

Chris Down · Jan 12, 2020

And as usual, my VR onboard:

Medilloni · Jan 12, 2020

Thanks for putting on tonight's race @JoelK - congrats to the podium finishers too!

My apologies to you @pattikins Patrick at the top of the hill after the start, saw you on Helicorsa on the outside and tried to leave room but bounced off the inside kerb just enough to touch you

Thanks to all for the fair racing, really enjoyed it with you. Have posted results to simracing.net if anyone's interested.

Edit for Joel: Regards the comment re GT3 Sundays earlier, I hope you don't mind me saying, if we stick to tracks that ACC doesn't have it might help. AC has such amazing tracks that are rarely used I can't get enough of them
