I have no doubt my friend....

...and we all look forward to seeing you again soon, young whippersnapper


EDIT: Hey Bobby, I usually leave some spare cars, so if you want to hop in one to watch/criticise/take the Mickey, then feel free any time!

BMW GT2 for Race #1 please.

Welcome Michael, a Bimmer for you

@Medilloni I'll take the porsche John, Thanks!

Thanks Cornelius, that's done

Hey, BMW please.

Hiya Henrik, you're in matey

 

[pattikins]

I’ll provisionally go for the Porsche please John.
Moving again, so I am hoping the internet will be moved to our next home by the 2nd..
It will be our third move for EE in twelve months.

I noticed you were on the practice server yesterday*. That was a quick move. Did you take responsibility for the t'internet, PC & rig, with the missus taking care of the rest (...equitable division of labour).

*You might want to put in a few extra laps on the practice server. Our arch-nemesis, JP, was posting some phenomenal lap times - faster than everyone (incl. aliens) in the last RD GT2 race @ Watkins Glen - with just medium tires .

@Medilloni John, re David Niven. What were you trying to say?

 

[JoshMont]

To stop it being a grid of BMWs I'll take the Porsche please.

Welcome Josh, you're in with the Porsche

My apologies in advance if you're new to this asylum (memory isn't my strong point), but if you are, please have a recap of the rules (esp Golden Rule), Teamspeak, real names etc in the first two posts so it all goes well this eve. Sorry for the nag!

@Medilloni John, re David Niven. What were you trying to say?

"As I write, tears are running down my face", haha, that pic is... well, I can't unsee it

Dunno what happened with the time last night, but based on previous, it certainly won't be there tonight Scarily, it goes through mediums like softs, and softs last half a lap, max ...which is why I tried the hards.

Did you see the notes re this version? I thought it was my imagination, but the kerbs seemed more forgiving in this one...

• Fixed holes between road and T1 apex curb. You can now properly use the first stage of the curb with minimal penalty.
• A strip of road on the outside of T1, T8, and T10 exit curbing will not cause a slowdown. This will allow you to hop the curbing a bit without penalty.

apologies gents I need to pull out of tonights race, my wife is due soon and I have clearly overlooked my to-do list of jobs around the house in preparation! Good luck to all and hope you enjoy it

 

[Kek700]

@pattikins internet was connected by last owner, so did not have to wait. it must have been EE. because my EE reconnection was just four days instead of two weeks.

 

[Kek700]

Our JP has always been super fast, my only hope of ever beating him was to wait for one of his off days.

I was planning on doing the race on softs - just as I've done for the last few times I driven the BMW. Now I'm having my doubts. Unfortunately, I mis-calculated the number of laps to test the softs on, it should've been over 15 laps, but I ended up doing 18. Nevertheless, after 12 laps there seemed to be a significant drop off of performance. If red is your favourite colour then .

I always make a mess of T1, and I generally don't touch the exit curbs @ T8 & T10 with much more than the outside of the tires (unless I make a mistake), so I've not noticed the improvement - I'm sure there is though.

 

[Toruc Macta]

Hey, I got some bad news coming in today and won't be joining tonight.
Sorry for only being able to let you know this late.

 

[GEO147]

Bimmer please John

 

[G-Slev]

Really looking forward to this after driving those wretched Stock Cars in AMS 2 at Santa Cruz last night. At least I have a fair idea when the Corvette is losing traction!
