Note 1: Skins that come with the Mods Only
Note 2: Race 1 you will use the first car next to your name and for Race 2 the other car
Note 3: We are using the SIMBIN lobby for this event. See here how to switch lobby
Note 4 : We run a superpole qually, you get one chance only at a outlap and qually lap. Take it easy on your outlap and get you car in a good position to run you qually lap, leave enough room to allow for the unexpected from the car infront
you don't get another go if you have to take avoiding action..
Note 5: Racing Room must be given to all drivers–and this works both ways. Divebombing into and across a corner denies people the chance to make the corner correctly just as much as someone obliviously (or deliberately) cutting the nose off of another driver who has achieved the overlap fairly.
The kerbs are not deemed as track, therefore 2 wheels must be within the white lines, on the tarmac, At All Times..

Hiroshi Awazu · May 2, 2013

That was a fun race! it was nice to get a full session in.

The Corolla was definitely the friskier of the two cars for me, yet i managed to finish the race in the Corolla without spinning it out

I spun the NSU twice due to botching my downshifts (Doh! facepalm)

But all is good, Good race guys!

Steven Walker · May 3, 2013

I had a great time tonight guys. Thank you very much. You were all very pleasant and polite and dare i say professional. The racing was clean and fair, which is a wonderful thing given the state of online gaming these days. Thanks also for the help in getting set up and connected to the server. Your help was very much appreciated. Can't wait for next Thursday

.

By the way, when will the details of the next club race be published?

Rupe Wilson · May 3, 2013

Thanks Rupe.
I have a problem in speaking English but with the translator it'll talking

I liked doing this race, my problem is that I can not do all the races because I have a young son

and there are days I have to be with him, and it is complicated to do everything I wanted ...
But know for certain that all the times that I can I'll be there ...
I hope to have many races in the future. And thanks to all the work they do ...

Paul Bennett · May 3, 2013

Good times again

The Corolla or spinning top as I call it

was a little frisky for me I think my steering lock was a bit over was turning far too easy with that loose back end. NSU was a better drive but still had to be easy on the corners could catch you out.
Still on a learning curve with G27 pedals and only fitted the shifter on last night, now I'm starting to get a better drive feels more natural.

Welcome to the club Steven & Jorge stick with us guys it's a lot of fun even with your trousers on

Paul Bennett Knut gave me a setup after the last Corolla race which helped me. Try it and see what you think

Jack Smith · May 3, 2013

Ah..fun, fun, fun till daddy took my jag away.

The Toyota was quicker but more temperamental than the NSU so I never really mastered it. I went off track with both cars and then had fun working my way back as best as I could. I experienced that annoying screen flicker when negotiating a tight corner and that caused one of my offs. All in all a good time.

Thanks Rupe for the event. Welcome to all the new faces and hope to see more of you. Cheers to the old faces.

@TimLing thanks for the set up makes a big improvement

Tim Ling · May 3, 2013

Paul Bennett thank Knut mate, not me. Just glad I could find the file again. I know the car went from undriveable and frustrating to almost, but not quite, fun

Roland · May 3, 2013

Thanks all, it was a lot of good fun indeed. I even managed to get along with the Toyota this time; it wasn't quite as outrageous as I remembered it to be.

I did feel pretty comfy in the NSU for race 1, practice laptimes were good but in the race I just couldn't keep my head wrapped around it, as I had 6 or 7 spins in Race 1, and all my own doing, no others involved..

I did have a nice scrub with Hans at the beginning though, and I remember trying to catch up with Hiroshi at least 4 times, of which 3 times whenever I came slightly close to him... I spun and had to start over

.

In Practice 2 I maximised the time spent driving the Toyota, and it went surprisingly well - I managed to do rather consistent crash-free laptimes and even managed 2nd in Q2. Even Race 2 went pretty well following Rupe, even ran in the lead for a lap after Rupe's nasty crash. I then mimicked his crash exactly one lap later - my only real crash, but it was a big one

- and had to wait for everyone to pass before I could rejoin. Had a VERY entertaining race trying to win back some of the lost positions, had another few laps of fun with Hans, but obviously a podium finish was way out of reach - again.

Thankfully, good fun was not out of reach at all; it was nice to see Hiroshi finally being able to join us for a whole session, and pleasant to again see some new drivers, Steven and Jorge, welcome! Good to hear you gents enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you back for more soon.

Grats to Antonio, if not the fastest as well then you were undoubtedly the most stable driver this night - well done, and to the podium finishers as well of course.

Thanks Rupe for the event, and to all for racing, CYA soon!
