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.

Hans Sneep said:
one question, taking the same car for both races or change car for r1 an r2 ?

to answer your question Hans you have to use a different car for each race you enter nex t week, so if you use the Abarth 850 in one race this week you can't re-use it in an other race of any event this week.

Rupe Wilson · Mar 30, 2014

As we are still in the early stages of using cars and driving them, i know what my times are on how i drive them but as to how others drive them i don't know so i just wanted to run the class to see where we stand , the Alpine for me is by fat the fastest car in the pack by about 2 seconds
and the slowest was the sprite by a number of seconds the cars in the middle were allot closer in times..
we had allot of background info and times on the cars in GTL which made it allot easier to match them, but these cars are different in times.
With the sprite by the time we had finished the races last Thursday i was 3 seconds faster then id previously gone/
Testing and racing in a group will give me more info..
so i would say lets look at driving cars that bring the field close together..

Nox · Mar 30, 2014

Withdrawing; I need to spend the time doing some additional testing for the GSC events (still getting the hang of it, I missed something last week

and want to ensure it won't happen again

). Have fun in your event.

Rupe Wilson · Mar 30, 2014

No worries mate,
You cant always test for everything, sometimes the odd things crops up that you cant test for on your own, especially when using modded tracks or cars.
It happens don't beat yourself up about it

Try and get a group of guys from GSC to help in testing i have a few in this club to help me
we all go on the server to check out tracks and cars to give feedback.
Being a few weeks ahead in your planning like you have achieved can allow for this, especially for the bigger events

Rupe Wilson · Mar 30, 2014

Might be a bit late to the show tonight im taking my mum out for tea with my sister.
So @Steven Walker you got the keys to the door if im a bit late.

Server is up

Von Butters · Mar 31, 2014

not this week guys, GSCE has Mosport! MOSPORT!

Steven Walker · Mar 31, 2014

I'm in boss.

Philip Brown · Mar 31, 2014

Dispite the modest speed and acceleration, really enjoyed the very drivable Sprite. It made for some good close racing that eveyone could get into. I used a slightly modified version of Steve's setup, needed a little bit lower third gear to keep from bogging down ( auto clutching ).
I had some really good running with Tim, who was having a good night, except when I closed the door a little to hard on him in Race 3 going into turn one. Sorry Tim, I braked a bit too late, and the car squirted left into your line, really!!

Thanks to Rupe and congrats to the winners, see you next time...

Franklin Stegink · Mar 31, 2014

Excuses me that i wasn't here for the race.

Erm GSCE doesn't have a race Tuesday Chris

Rupe Wilson · Mar 31, 2014

But just like us, Chris likes to practice, so just because it not run on that night he is probably driving cars for the rest of the week, Time can be limited at times for guys with wife and kids.

We all cant lock them in a cellar like Jack does, so he gets his man time

Denis Betty · Mar 31, 2014

Hey @Jack Smith, how you doing mate? Be nice to see you if you can make this one? Could do with someone to chase/get in a close race with. If not see you soon.

Man, there are times i wish i had a basement. Id lock myself down there 24/7, then i could game as i did when single. Id have to say i was researching this, or studying that, or "working from home", but then Id be able to pratcie more.

Seriously though, Rupe hit the nail on the head!
