Brilliant fun, but together with the hot weather this was just a bit too much for me to handle. I might want to install my wheel in the fridge when the league arrives Race 2 was just fantastic, trying to drive as close to the back of Jarek's truck as possible, probably as intense for me as it was for him. Thanks for racing guys

Yes it was, very fun night.
It was completely beyond me how you managed to get through the first third of turn 1 so quickly and still didn't run wide on the exit.

@Davy Vandevenne
No need to mention the Ford is underpowered, everybody knows with you driving it's a deadly weapon

. Grats for your win in R2.

Hope to see you guys here more often again, i never planned to abandon this club as for me the trucks are the best Reiza has ever come up with. Curious about the new Opalas coming soon to GSCE, though.

Thanks for racing everyone.

I shifted down to 4th in T1 for engine braking (that poor engine

), then just shifted back to 5th somewhere in the corner to accelerate out. I found it was way easier to slow down there with the screaming engine

These things are fun to drive

. Had a reasonable practice, but my normal over-eagerness in the race meant I messed it up

. Still fun though, and I'm looking forward to the next one

Could you put the date of the race instead of "Week ##" though, as it makes it much easier to know when the race is

Is there anyway to get better ffb out of these cars? Some feel lifeless.

There's help for the FFB settings HERE, posts #126 & #133

I need to test the server for the upcoming league so Friday will be a test race
to see how the settings work and all understand if the pit stops work as we hope. It is not mandatory to enter this event if you want to race in the leage.

Calum McLure · Apr 26, 2014

I'm in for Monday

Possibly Friday, the AC thing is on that day so I'll decide closer to the time.

Rupe Wilson · Apr 26, 2014

Well ftrucks is there as a back up if AC turns to DC on friday

ARG1980 · Apr 26, 2014

Can I be standby for tonight?
I am not 100% sure if i can participate.

Calum McLure · Apr 26, 2014

True, it's on a bit earlier than trucks anyway so I could fit in both!

Sign me up then and get the ball rolling

San Weetink · Apr 26, 2014

As I expected earlier I need to resign for this race sadly. Have fun though.

Thanks for the tag, but this week it clashes with the GSC club. I'm going to try trucking every other Friday when GSC isn't on (it alternates between fri and sat bi-weekly)

Davy Vandevenne · Apr 26, 2014

@Andrew James Sign me up, please

Mert Kayar · Apr 26, 2014

Ahh damn it, i thought i remembered doing the same in earlier races but since i shortened the gearbox yesterday it wasn't working for me. That was probably why i couldn't go near my pb.
