[Paulo Ribeiro]

Cheers mate.
I will use a different car aswell.

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

I've got several ideas of car's livery for this last race, but I'm affraid I will haven't the time to make new logos. Damn.... :eek:

 

[Andrew Pienaar]

Too late to join?

 

[Chris Bell]

No mate theres room, t list of cars is on the info page, buy one get it tuned and come race!!

 

[Ryan Sylvester]

Too late to join?

Got a 355 Challenge I can gift to you if you don't have the money to get one Andrew, but they are plenty of choices available in these races so have a look and see what you like first.

 

[Andrew Pienaar]

Ok cool thanks I'm on my way home to check it out

 

[Ash Kendall]

I've got a feeling tonight will be amazing or a complete disaster.

Finally managed a 2:02:0 with a combination of mine and Stefan's setups, but it felt like there was still a fair bit of time to gain and consistency is the hardest thing to get around here.

The racing should be good, though. So easy to lose time through almost every corner on the lap.

 

[Chris Bell]

Looking forward to it! Not done any work on any car so i may be a lil slow, we will see!!

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

Managed enough time to pick and design the new car, the funny thing is, all time spent painting and not time to
drive and test it. :eek:
I'm sure nobody will chose the Morgan, so here it is.
England - Silverstone - Morgan - Harrods.
Harrods, UHU, Dell, Kodak and Logitech logos were made by me.

Me being used to F1 driving and setups i must say its going to take time to get used to Forza

Best advice I can think of: make small and very few adjustments between tests. The different between -0.3 and -0.4 on my rear camber while testing here was massive.

The F1 2011 setups are supposedly based on track-specific templates, so they're always drivable. You can make your car completely impossible handle in a straight line on Forza if you wanted to. Not entirely sure why you would, mind...

I've hit the barrier in both ways at 2.03.85

ill try it thanks

 

[Andrew Pienaar]

I wont be able to race tonight , got some F1 tests i need to do to sort some connection problems out

 

[Wayne Thomas]

I jumped backin my Panoz, not a good idea, what a b##tch! Remember now why I didn't use it ...... Doesn't stop and doesn't turn ...... Or it turns too much ..... I'm seriously thinking Exige just for the what if ...........

 

[Ryan Sylvester]

Is everybody using a different car, or will people be using what they have always used? I have a 370z which I can do a 2:06 in, but I have an exige that I managed a 2:02 in earlier today, so if everybody is racing normal cars then im going to be using the Exige so I can keep up!

If not I will give the 370Z a run out, but it's slow! lol

 

[Wayne Thomas]

Could we use a different car for each heat?

 

[Bradley Capps-Jenner]

Oh understand where I got confused, I thought it said heat 2 15 laps plus 2 Manitory 15 Laps Heat 2 plus Manditory Pitstops!!!, but it was 15 laps heat 2 plus Manditory pit! :oops: Bloody Hell!

 

[Wayne Thomas]

Oh understand where I got confused, I thought it said heat 2 15 laps plus 2 Mandibular 15 Laps Heat 2 plus Manditory Pitstops!!!, but it was 15 laps heat 2 plus Manditory pit! :oops: Bloody Hell!

I pitted three times just to be sure ......

Race Report
The first heat I started 3rd along side Wayne, got a farly good start, but the NSX and Evora blasted past. From then on it was trying to keep places. 4th, 5th, 6th and possibly 7th I can't remember went by. Then I went wide, and Paulo in the Morgan went by, from then on it was one of our classic battles, lap 5 I went wide and 200 ft behind him, slowly started to close, the on lap 7 I was on his bumper. His car was spitting so many flames I'm surprised the wood didn't catch fire! We were side by side al the way for 3 laps. Then the final lap. Paulo went wide at Copes corner and I went up the inside, then I had a wee moment through Becketts and by Chapel he was 50 ft behind. Going down the Hanger straight, he lined up to overtake me on the outside of Stowe, but I was looking at his car inside my cockpit, and I drifted over a bit and put him off. Then going down the new pit straight, braking into Abbey, I locked up and ran a little wide, and by Bridge he has ahead.Then I overtook him going into Priory and Brooklands, and I felt like I was going to win. Going into Luffield I was still ahead, but he had a super exit, and round Woodcote we were side by side. I pushed him as close as I could to the grass but it was in vein, he beat me by thirty two thousandths of a second!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Heat two again I started third, due to reverse grid, got a good start but Ash's NSX took me into Copes, but I undercut him on the inside, took someone else on the outside, then cut back underneath and overtook Ryan. I was in first for a lap the Karl came, I tried to put up a fight, but it was obviously not going to be, he went ahead. I did a much better job of holding up Dan, sorry may have wreaked your race for first there! Then I met Paulo again and as last time we were really close. We both pitted simultaneously and I kept out ahead. Ash kept out to try and jump us both put he came out just behind. The vantage twitched on the curb through Becketts and Ash went by. He was 200 ft ahead and Paulo was100 ft behind me, but both of us maintained the gap. Then I pitted for a second time because I mistaked the rules, WHAT A PILLOCK! I came out 8th and thats where I stayed!
