[Yuri Braham]

Ok i am in the group now.

All done!

 

[Eric Nelson]

Well this wasn't my best event but I learned something new again tonight so thats the good part.

Struggled to get the car to ROLL throught the very tight corners. And if I did roll well then the car was way quicker on the lap sheet. Then again the throttle on oversteer was omnipresent as well. Botttom line for me, it was a grappling match out of my weight class.

Q'd a PB of 05.9 which made me happy. see I can piece together a lap once in awhile.

R1 was ok for me. I stayed on track and ratcheted up through the field to a high of 6th. I inherited it thanks to Pierre looping his car.

Pierre and I battled for 3-4 laps. he was quicker and I drove a defensive line keeping him at bay and possibley scaring him occaisionally. with only 5 laps to go I decided to fend him off rather than wave him by. in the end, he passed me when I went to pop my side look button and hit the pit speed limiter by mistake on the long straight! well Pierre thats a clean pass for ya afterall.

I ran short on fuel and had not put together any pit presets. I had trouble firing the car and wasted tons of time in the pits. Finished 9th.

R2 sees me start in P9. I get a really good start and then I manage to KISS Dragos who hit the IRON CONE OF DEATH and went airborn. Spent about 10 seconds upside down then set off DFL.

Was eating into Bob;s lead a bit each lap and then began to go AGRO unassisted. BUUT I did have enough fuel for this race!

I was really tired from playing poker til 2AM on Tuesday night and it showed here.

Sorry to anyone who I messed up in the race although I think I stayed pretty clean.

See yall Friday night in the more suitable for me STCC cars.

 

[Jarrod Keen]

I am going to try make this one. May be tough schedule wise... but I'm gonna give it a shot. 50/50 at this point.

 

[Eric. K]

I'm going to try to make it even though I don't yet have STCC or the track. I'm buying the game tonight and will spend a few hours learning the A4 and the track.

Status for race: doubtful (but working hard to improve the odds)

Great to see you here Jarrod!! You wont regret it!!

 

[Eric. K]

Guys, I just put a practice server up. Have fun!!

 

[Willie Watt]

That said, I think that the tighter corners may favour the shorter wheelbase cars sich as the c30, 308 or even the Leon.

 

[Thierry Marchand]

Sign me up please :wink:

 

[Jarrod Keen]

Good to be here Eric. Had a long conversation with Keith last night and ran some with him on pub servers.... Looking forward to getting back into driving some. I've sent out invites to all "my crew" but no replies so we'll see if any of them also want to get back into racing around here.

I think you will enjoy the tight Friday competition

 

[Eric. K]

HAhha... You guys are having too much fun without racing!!

 

[Corey Theman]

Pretty fun event - I enjoyed running these cars a lot. Was never able to get into the 1:05s during qualifying, and decided I would just suck it up and start from near the back in P10.

Tons of chaos to start race 1, I was able to dance around unscathed and was sitting in P4 by the end of the first lap. A couple of the faster guys caught up to me eventually, and I ran in P6 for most of the race. Finished in P5 after someone up front lost it in the closing laps.

Race 2 I started from P4. I lost all feel for the car for some reason in the opening laps and had trouble hitting my lines - drifted back to P7 pretty quickly. I spent the majority of the race in an entertaining battle with Abdul over 6th position. Neither one of us were on top of our game, but I suppose that made for a more interesting battle as we swapped places several times. It all came down to the final corner, and Abdul was able to get a run on me after a lost grip slightly and had to get out of the throttle. We had a drag race to the finish, which as shown in the image above, he won issed-off:

It was fun though!

 

[Eric Nelson]

posted a set up for the STCC HONDA in thr online files section.

Ran consistent 10's with it and it was very driveable.

 

[Nuno Areias]

[Dan Coldrick]

Theres no response from Thorpoid's loving, I post a message about us all loving him and nothing back........should we be worried?
:Banane40: or is it just me! lmao!

PS Andy get the server going

 

[Rob Goldthorpe]

I knew it! Y'all don't love me, you just use me as target practice on the servers

 

[Philip Antonia]

Sweet the E30.

Sign me up please:victory:

 

[David Buxton]

That is our way of showing you just how much we :love: our Thorpoid :love:

 

[João Andias]

Did you already drove the whole race in your mind Joao? :wink2:

Not yet... but I assure you I know the gearing of my C6R and every inch of the Nord Loop with my eyes closed:shame:

He did, but he finished 2nd!!! I WON!!!!
Sorry João. HAHAHAHA

You can talk-the-talk but can you walk the walk Mr. Aritan? :terminator:

So it starts a war that will only finish more than 500 km after... :soldier:

Jokes aside, today I did a few laps at my usual public server and I had an illustrious (and fast) spy racing with me... he wanted to know how much fuel I had in... the honest answer: some :angel2:

After all, I'm joking, didn't stop, 3 lines above was a lie, Eric you are right, we have fun alone, we don't need the "main course" nor do we need the party

 

[Ross McGregor]

i noticed one slight problem last night- there was an invisible car! In race two i noticed that the 'car behind' was 0.1s further back, but i checked behind and no-one was there! Suddenly, at the last series of corners the car ahead was 0.3s in front, and i heard the tell-tale 'stone chip' noises. T'was a bit strange to say the least, i'm going to check the replay!
