Rules:
If you have not entered the server and driven a few laps with fellow drivers before we go to qualifying you are to late for that session. Please think of your fellow drivers and get out on track with them, watch how they drive, you can't race with guys you have not seen drive.
We ALL brake a little differently and drive the corners differently, get used to how they drive and then we can all race more safely.
If you drop out of the server during qualifying you can return.

This is being held in our Club, using Club Rules, and should be driven in that spirit.

Stingray for me..... one of the torquey ones.
I'm gonna practice in that coz (if I do get into LMC) I'm sure that I won't be driving a Pantera.

Did it get warmer in Canada in the past few days like it got here? You had those freezes on graphically more demanding tracks and if you get more now that it's warmer, it might really help to get rid of dust on your CPU/GFX cooler.
Sounds like overheating too me, i once had a silenced case with awfuly bad ventilation and the symptoms were exactly the same, had to leave the case open in summer as not even cleaning prevented it from overheating > freezing my PC.

sounds like the Hard disk is leaving you

, had exactly the same problem a year ago
New disk solved it.

Yves Larose · May 7, 2015

@Jarek Kostowski

i doudt its a heating problem or a dust problem but it doesn't do any arm to clean it.

@Stig Bidstrup

well the hard drive is one of the things that its slowly fading away, i changed my MotherBoard almost 2 years ago but it was a use one since the new MB doesn't support my CPU anymore so it mean that my MB is 7 years old now.

to be honest i'm not very keen to put time and effort on my PC as it will broke eventually for sure and investing money on it in my opinion is a waste of money as it won't be able to run any new games anyway so i'm gonna try and find a way to get a new PC.

One thing you can do without much effort is just leave one side of the case open and see if the problem still occurs. If you got some more time just suck the biggest chunks of dust with a vacuum cleaner out of there.
Maybe you both are right and it's not that, but if you're lucky it might just be enough to get you on track tonight

Stan · May 7, 2015

Had some heat issues too cleaned everything in the tower and all fans now it is silent again and nice low temperatures. One open wall has in my tower a worser temperatur it sucks from the front directly to the cpu cooler if you open it there is no airstream anymore.
Bit busy in the moment on some cars and searching for new home so I prefer in the moment GTA5 for relaxing in the evening. Deinstalled my wheel to get some more progress on my rig too. I'm anoyed from my driving desk get again some pain on my wrist from it. Time to change this.
In a few weeks I'm back. Now I have to cut some pipes for my header I started to build.
Best regards stan

Yves Larose · May 7, 2015

i've cleaned the fans and the case and ran for 20 minutes without freezing before it was freezing in thew first 10 minutes so i guess i'm in the clear for now

Yves Larose · May 7, 2015

i'm gonna start slow

Race 1: Ferrari Daytona GTB/4 '72

connection lost again during qualy 2, i give up for today and i will change the router to see if it solve the problem for the week-end and if so i will call my ISP Monday.

Roland · May 7, 2015

Sorry to hear that Yves, hope you can get it sorted ASAP.

This night driving thing is a blast though! First race in the BMW, which i actually practiced in during the tuesday night event

, was hard work but good fun once I got going

.
Because in a sudden whim of brilliance I decided that starting in 2nd gear might be a good idea, and then I STALLED the car at the start line

. Didn't even know that was possible.

So I had some catching up to do... and failed.

Race 2 I chose the fastest Pantera, thinking it'd have great straight-line speed at least. And it did, and wasn't too shabby around corners either, once I figured out how to drive it.
Sorry Jarek for overtaking you for 1st, I was under the impression that you and Denis have had a little get-together; I didn't realise until after the race that you didn't, but rather you were being a gentleman and just waiting for him...

THX Yves for the event, hope you get to enjoy the whole of it again soon

, and for sharing setups. And Thx all for racing!

Jack Smith · May 8, 2015

I couldn't make the last couple of races due to important boat repairs and maintenance that must be completed done before launching date. Got to take advantage of the good weather. Hope to be there Sunday, but have to wait and see how much gets done.

Don't be sorry for racing please, if we all waited it would be a grandma-tea-club. I only do that if i'm cocky enough to think i'll still get you before the end, Denis had good pace before his puncture so i thought i'll wait for him and we hunt you down together. Best thing you can do to teach me a lesson in such a situation is to run away with the win

.

Thanks for racing chaps, good fun.
