[Wayne Thomas]

Tesla 2:06 but I'm back in my Evora ....... Hope I can do better......... Reckon those Exige boyos will be 2:00 or just under ..... Looking forward to it nonetheless.

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

I bet I can set a nice top speed at the front straight.

Paulo Ribeiro / pribeiro66

Is it true that Italian government forbiden all Lotus to race at Mugello in SIM racing?

 

[Karl Raper]

NO!!!!!!!! It ent hahaha

 

[Wayne Thomas]

Dirty 2:03s in Evora

 

[Wayne Thomas]

I propose an anti Exige coalition. Our mission in R2, as we are all at the front due to reverse grid, is to form a rolling roadblock, hold them up for at least a lap, let one of the non Exiges get a good head start, THEN start racing fairly

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

hehe paulo Got another 2 sec's shaved of my time with the exige. So doing 2.06 now on clean laps consistently.
hopefully I can transfer that to the race.

 

[Ash Kendall]

Me and Stefan were managing 2:03s fairly regularly last night. I pulled a miracle 2:02:8 on the final lap of the final race, but I have no idea how!

 

[Stefan Liversidge]

sounding like the group b race will be a good one

leave the exiges and Dan to fight it out at the front, if i'm fast or not - not really an issue - LOVE driving the nsx round mugello and can imagine theres going to be some fantastic battles

 

[Chris Bell]

There could be an Exige ban in Spain!!!

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

In spain there will be at least one Exige less. As I won't be racing next week
I'm on a holliday then

 

[Chris Bell]

Do you want a setup For tonight Peter??

 

[Wayne Thomas]

There could be an Exige ban in Spain!!!

Isn't Mugello in Spain

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

Naah,thanks Chris I'm fine with the one I've puzzled togheter. It really helped me understand the setup and tuning aspect of Forza.
Plus on top of that I have some spare time this evening so could be that I get some better results and tuning before the race.

 

[Steve Freeman]

Thanks again for the invite Chris, really enjoyed it again!
race 1; started near the back, kept out of trouble, had a Great battle with Stefan for numerous laps, great close clean racing, well done mate!,managed to get by after a slight mistake from Stefan, then managed to close Dan down and again a great close clean battle, managed to get by to finish 3rd.
race 2; not such a clean start, made side contact with a wide Chris coming back after i think a bit of contact he had in turn 2, then i think on lap 3 i tried to get round Brad on the outside of turn 3, bit stupid i know, Brad just nudged me off slightly, put me behind Stefan again! same again, great racing, really enjoyed it mate,should of pitted really but i was enjoying it so much decided to stay out, again managed to get by eventually then as i caught Ash decided to pit, and what a mess i made of that! nearly missed it, went in almost sideways bouncing off the walls. came out behind Dan but this time with the damage from my pit adventures, losing me 1sec in lap time was unable to catch him. Had another good little fight with Ash later as he came out of the pits infront of me, got by to finish 4th.
Well Done Karl again mate, well done to all, great driving, and thx again Chris for my few drives, cant do nxt week due to work. Civics are going to be Brilliant!!! Cheers Guys.

 

[Wayne Thomas]

Well, that was stressful!
As always in this series it's about he battles at the back for me, usually Paulo, sometimes Stefan.

R1 constantly aware of that Ford GT never far behind me, managed to keep it together and hold onto 7th. Phew!

R2 bit dull after lap 5 or so just lap after lap. Before that though great little tussles with Peter V and Ry. I managed to get past both but never really got close to Brad or Paulo to challenge them. 9th I think?

 

[Bradley Capps-Jenner]

Today was a mixed bag. I tried to take a risk today and went for power rather than cornering, which was slight mistake.
Race 1
Got a good start from last place, gained a couple of positions, then breaking for the first corner, I miss judged it and whacked Ryan, having 100% front and side aero damage, and wreaked both of our races, sorry mate.
Race 2
With the reverse grid I started second and had a good start lead into the first corner, but no further when Ash overtook me, then the usual bunch went past and from then on to the flag I had fantastic races with the near impassible Paulo and his 1,000,000 bhp GT. I was catching him through the corners, near the end of the lap, then the pit straight came up and I was 100 ft ahead at the start of it, and by the end I was 600 ft behind him. Came round to the pit stops where I pitted first and had a good out lap and ended up 300 ft a head of him after the first corner. Then just after the fast chicane, I spun off which then meant I was 1200 ft behind Paulo with 5 laps left. Then mostly out of anger I started to close the gap, and unusually for me I stayed on the black stuff and on the last lap I was 100 ft behind. I knew I needed to get Paulo around the mid section of the track, so I did a bit of a daring more. Fortunately he saw me and I was able to overtake, and going round the final corner he was 200 ft behind, and by the line, he was 0.150 secs behind!, and finishing 7th.

 

[Bradley Capps-Jenner]

Sorry Steve mate, but I had nowhere else to go. I turned as much as I could.

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

This was again some really nice close and tense racing. Really enjoyed it.
The start man that was a rush. So happy to had this race as it's my closing race for the cup.

R1 started at the front was a bit all over the place.Then got it togheter and just went a bit to deep in the downhill part ended up in the gravel. Grrrrr silly mistake.Got out of it took a lap or 2 to get my act togheter and managed to get in the low 2:06's. So definitly made my test times. But then the result and seeing what blistering times there were on the final tables.pffffewwww nice speedy racing up there guys.

R2 Again a start at the front had some drift of the start tried to get round in the first corner.Not so smart was off-line for most of the following corners.So didn't cut others off.Maanaged to have a bit of a tussle with wayne and ryan.Had to let them pass as i took a wrong racing line uphill.Decided on pitting and planted my car clean and speedy straight into the wall:oops: 45% of aero damage on the front. But my mechanics did an awesome job managed to get 2:05's in on a pretty consitent basis.I love my mechanicsGot lucky to overtake Ryan as he was in the pits. closed in on wayne but never managed to close the gap always maintained it between 200-500.

All in all veryvery please and definitly looking forward to the civic races.

 

[Wayne Thomas]

It's all getting closer in these races, tense stuff.

 

[Chris Bell]
