[Stuart Thomson]

Phil, all the cars have identical performance. Just pick whichever one you like the look of. :good:

 

[Tim Ling]

Red wunz go fasta specially if they got stripz

 

[Philip Oakley]

Well if that's the case I'll take the Vega #16.

I'll probably be a lot slower than you lot. But hey, I guess that's part of the fun.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Don't have to work tonight so sign me up Stu.
Wedge #4 please.

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

[Ivo Simons]

Wait a couple of minutes. Sometimes it happens to me also.

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

Managed to get in now, uffffffffff....:good:

 

[Will Roberts]

oops, forgot. wish I'd raced this though cuz my Cart factor race was horrible. Just quit on lap 2

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

My driving was a completely joke.:doctor:
I have spun more this evening than in three years of sim racing...:terminator:
These cars are really fun to drive, but clearly this was not my night.
Well done all, specially the winners.
Thank you Stuart and RD.

Cheers

Wedge #4 a.k.a Ugly Betty

Race 1:

Got some places because some people spun. Was on 2th place but had some difficult last laps but managed to keep Gary behind me.

Race 2:

Had some nice little fights with Rickard but he spun sometimes. So ended 3th.

Race 3:

Was on P1 for some laps. But had to much oversteer out of the last hairpin almost managed to keep it but Stu was so close behind me so got a little tap wich resulted in a bigger spin and hit against Rickard (sorry mate). Had further a lonely race and climbed to 4th.

Great cars. In the beginning very difficult but if you drive them for 30 minutes to becoming very cool cars. FF was also good felt the oversteer very good.

Thanks for racing guys, to bad i have to work on Friday otherwise i will join more often.

 

[Sam J Simpson]

Great races tonight, although I only managed 2, I think these things are an absolute joy to drive once you work out which of their little foibles can be best exploited, hehe, so much fun to be had with something so slow which suits this auld fert. :snail::sarcastic::victory:

Some nice driving when I watched the 3rd race, well done guys.

Sam

 

[Gary Lennon]

Due to this time slot not really being ideal for me on a Friday no practice,first lap was my superpole one and straight away i could feel something not right with FFB,so race one a bit of a disaster,the next a little better as i adapted,then Sam reminded me about those steering upgrades,which i didnt have for my new Bobsy,got that fixed up and now its more like the Vee's i know,unfortunately i decided now not to use Sams "Wedge" settings and knocked up my own rubbish quickly,eeech...typical Lenno setup disaster ,and a throttle that didnt seem to "shut down" properly when i lifted power,so lost out on a nice chase on the Thomson fella with a spin out .
Just went and fiddled around more offline and am now fully happy again with FFB,and i even tested my Clios again to see that thats all well again,and it is......and dont start me on about the Clios on that track guys....(ZoMg!!)...

Gratso all of us there making a little grid seem very busy :good:.

Big Thanks Stuey Thommo auf den RD! :good:

 

[Neil Gault]

It was good fun yet again tonight guys, would of loved to finished the 3rd race also but i was just not able :disapointed: but had some great battles in the first 2 races so it was still a great night for me, thnx all for making it so :good:

 

[Nigel Atkins]

absolutely top nights racing, very tricky track but suited these cars perfectly :good:

Race 1 quali didnt go well lol, so stated near the back but had great fun catching people then watching them spin off to let me through, made it up to 3rd and was catching Ivo for 2nd.

Race 2. had better quali and started 3rd, just held od Stu into T1 and proceed to follow Rickard, and amazingly after 4 laps still had Sam in my sights then Rickard went off handing me 2nd and i finished a very happy 5 secs behind Sam.

race 3. another bad quali so started near the back, but again gained places from people going of and crashing. even managed a few fun laps with me old m8 Prib. was seteled into 3rd until Gary lost it handing me another 2nd place. but had no chance to catch Stu who really found his pace and took a nice win.

many thanks Stu best nights racing since the last best nights racing :woop:

 

[Rickard Norgren]

Thanks R-D and Stu for one more exellent evening in the Vee cars:good:

And grats to all podium driver. most to Sam:victory: who ruled the races he drove

Dont remember so much after a race in theses cars, it is enough for my brain to try stay on track, and even that fails now and then:desire:

Had two good fun races with nice action, but last race went fooked!!!!
After a try to avoid Ivo when he lost the car, and a impact with him, must I have touched some button, coz I dunno what else can have happened? A big blue not transparent box was visible right in the middle of my screen, and it said "Exit from monitor?" and below that line was it a escape or cancel line, but I could not take it down, and could not escape from game either:freaked-out: so I had to shut down the power to sort it.
I really must do the job and map the game buttons right

 

[Nigel Atkins]

hard luck there Rickard m8, it looks like you hit the ESC key

 

[Rickard Norgren]

hard luck there Rickard m8, it looks like you hit the ESC key

Ok, so esc gives a blue box that cant be moved?

 

[Nigel Atkins]

i can`t remember of the top of my head, but hitting ESC does bring up the box you mentioned but i`ve never tried doing anything other than quitting the race with it sorry

 

[Ben Tusting]

you pressed the escape key Rickard

 

[Rickard Norgren]

I have got that Ben, but why couldn`t I escape then????
