Tom Wilson · Dec 20, 2009

YES YES YES - I belive I've only got the Arbath and the elite left! Flying to my parents in Scotland for Christmas on the 23rd which is good becasue i'd hate to miss this awesome track! Shame i've only got the slower cars left with that big straight

Stuart Thomson · Dec 20, 2009

Tom - you will come to learn that, while I obviously try and keep the series rounds interesting, I'll always attempt to keep a little back for a good finale

Tom Wilson · Dec 20, 2009

Indeed - damn my haste to use all the good cars early on! Still, i've drive the doors of them and see where we end up!

Glenn Morris · Dec 21, 2009

It may be faster to tip the Abarth on it's roof at the start of conrod and slide down, Tom

Warren Dawes · Dec 21, 2009

Or even better, if you judge it right, you may be able to flick it into a roll through the Dipper and roll it all the way down the mountain. :roll:

Tom Wilson · Dec 21, 2009

Alright - damn me lol, but remember you gotta go up the mountain to come down and the Arbath will climb a lot better than the Falcon!

David Cavassana · Dec 21, 2009

I would like participate. It's my first race in RD.

Ford Falcon + Alfa GTA

Warren Dawes · Dec 21, 2009

Hi David, great to see you joining us.

Unfortunately though, you will have to change your car choice for this one, this is the last event in a short series where we had to select different cars for each race. Stuart maintained a list of cars used so far, and also added further restrictions for those who missed previous events.

All Drivers - Please Note:

Unless you have driven all 4 TC65 nights, your choice for this event will be limited.

Check the TC65 usage thread for available vehicles.

Lenno - you have the Mustang and the Mini Cooper left.

Ivo - you have the Falcon and the Mini Cooper left.

I've put you both on the list with your possible choices.

Based on this info, I think your car choices must be the Mini and the Mustang, but you can use them in any order on the day.

Ryan Callan · Dec 21, 2009

Small chance I might be in for this after all if I'm snowed in

Ok. I would like participate using the Mustang and the Mini.

Thanks.

I had a quick look at the track, and I think all of the cars will hit the rev limit part way down Conrod Straight. I know the Alfa certainly does, even on the longest gear ratio.
I'll be interested to see how the Jaaaaaag goes, this might be one track that allows it to wind the rubber band up.,

BTW, if Tom or Hans manage a win in either race, we should give them a medal. :laugh2:

Ivo Simons · Dec 22, 2009

It's heavy so it goes hard downhill. Only the braking after that is going to be scary.

Love this version of Bathurst. More open then the new ones.

Stuart Thomson · Dec 22, 2009

Yep, the Mustang hits the red line hard as well :dance2:

But, to be honest, I think that the redlining engines will probably be the least of our worries, considering some of the rollercoaster stuff up the top of the circuit, and that this event might prove a little......attritional

Stuart Thomson · Dec 22, 2009

ATTENTION ALL DRIVERS

For tonight's race, please use DEFAULT SKINS ONLY.

As the download server may not be in place before tonight (there's a lot of stuff to do on a new board, after all) it's possible that David might not be able to download the skinpacks. Let's try and be as inclusive as possible. :good:

The track is available elsewhere (http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=23957), but the skins aren't.

Thanks for understanding.
