Sorry guys, I have to sign out, family commitments I forgot

Aw, too bad. Hope to see you next Sunday!

Sorry guys, I got the time wrong. CET not UTC.

@Peter Kasbergen Thanks again for setting this up. I probably won't make next week unless it's a car/track combo I already am familiar with because I'm doing a 2.4h of Daytona on Saturday and I really need to prep for that. As you could see this week, I'm not quite at the place where I can just jump into a new car/track combo and do well. But, if nothing else, I want to help keep filling out the numbers.

Yeah, I did the same! Fortunately, I fired up early because I need my VR headset to warmup so I just made it in time to race...

Thanks for organising @Peter Kasbergen ! I started to have a good race, but without a bit of prep I hadn't quite got into the rhythm and span at T1 after a few laps which meant it was a bit lonely after then, but still good fun as the cars are a blast to drive. Apologies for not joining the voice chat - everything was a bit rushed and I only just got crew chief fired up in time for the start

First of all: Thanks everyone for being there! As this was the first of the new AMS2 Sunday Racing Club races, I guess we all needed to "warm up" a bit. I was lucky I had Andrew to guide me along for the first part of the race so I could get into the rhythm. We had a nice race and even swapped positions a couple of times. Glad to have been able to keep him honest!

What do you think if we start 1 hour later next week? Would that work better for you guys, especially in the UK?

Anyway, keep an eye out for next week's car & track combo, which will be announced very soon!

I'm fine either way, I was just being a numpty and not paying attention this evening

I'm in the Eastern time zone in the States and an hour later would be great for me. Sunday afternoons are pretty much the only time I can join you folks in Europe, so I'm excited about this.

1hr later would be better for me.

What sort of lap times were you guys doing tonight, by the way? I was doing 1.50s in practice against the ai.

My fastest was a high 1.48 late in the race. Most were 1.49 - 1.50 though.

I'm not too far off, then. Thanks.
