RD Mazda MX5 Cup 2016

@Tobias Röhner I think it's better if you take me out from the list. Probably the usual working hours, combined with the Italian summer temperature, will make me falling asleep behind the wheel. Yesterday I had the proof of this. Sorry.

Ok Manuel. Better to find this out now than during the league

Just to remind you, you gotta be Premium to drive in our leagues. Freemium is for club racing only. Plenty of time to change that though.

If there's room for me I'd like to join although I haven't taken part in Monday night events before. Sunday evenings are perfect for me & I'm a respectful driver.

You're on reserves for now. Still waiting on a few premium confirmations from drivers so you might move into the grid.

I won't be racing, but I couldn't resist my skinning urge. Here is a 787 inspired skin, PM me if you're interested.

I'll change name and numbers in accordance.

Signup's close on Saturday. Grid looks decent and I've seen most of you guys in the Monday night club races, so I think we're gonna have a nice and consistent field

Gonna be a fun couple of Sunday nights.

Presenting Priority 1 Motorsport, for the Race Department MX5 Cup 2016

#771 @Craig Patteson and #55 Andrew Harper.

Learnt a lot about image mapping for this game so thanks to those who answered my questions. Created textures for the mechanics and drivers, custom lollipops for the pitcrew. Craig's car is matt white and gloss markings, mine is dark metallic blue. The wheels are a slightly different colour on my car and I created both helmets. I had a lot of fun creating it.

Craig has a lot more natural ability in sim racing than me but hopefully we'll both score some good results (fingers crossed matey!)

If it's ok I may just ZIP/RAR together all the files and send them via file transfer? I will need to downscale the current textures as they are in 4k at the moment.

Good luck to everyone in the league

Like to ask if I can be removed from the drivers entry list, please.

Though I feel I'd be competitive on a number of the tracks, Nordschleife is a complete no go area. Plus, I'd be no more than a mobile chicain at Monza, possibly Vallelunga Club too... I'd hate to spoil other people's fun with my poor driving on a few of the tracks.

Don't leave matey!

I'm still learning this car myself. Managing to get within half a second of Craig which is minor miracle!

The Nordschleife will be my biggest problem, it's not a track I like too much but I've been trying to do one or two laps a day to at least keep it fresh in my mind.

I found an interesting site which lists all time lap times on AC and yes there are some guys that will be much faster than the likes of me, but I think the mid-field will be very close.

I know I'm not going to be as fast as you guys that use AC all the time and I don't have a manual shift (it's still a sim I'm learning my way around) but I'll give it my best shot

Paul Blythe · Jul 2, 2016

Thanks for the words of encouragement...

I use RSR Live Timing with AC, posting fairly competitive lap times. Plus being consistent with them... Though, Nords' is my nemesis with the majority of cars. Pretty happy with my knowledge of the full circuit, just not any good at driving the MX5 round there

Practice, practice and more practice...
