first test setup

Have a laptime to aim for Sam?

[Sam J]

No, and I don't know if there will be anytime soon, I have just endured what has to be one of the most annoying, crash filled periods of racing I have ever had, in real life or ingame, here and at other places and also not confined to a single sim.  I am sad, angry and dejected in equal measures, enough to seriously consider stopping online racing for a while.

 

as it stands ATM, I am sick of spending hours testing, tweaking and refining only to be unceremoniously booted into the scenery two minutes into a race by someone who has openly admitted to making no effort of their own before hand and then does not even have the common courtesy to apologise for ruining someone else's ernest endeavours, or the driver who thinks that because he is high in a championship he has the god given right to the piece of road you occupy and for only that reason, not on driving ability or if he can take it in a fair move.  Anyway enough of this diatribe, if I do make it to the Radical race on Wednesday I will see you there, if not, goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

Pete, please take my earlier post with a huge pinch of salt, anger driven I'm afraid, I really should learn more self control at my age, and low 1:25s Mark but I aint done much at all in the way of testing, I do expect at least a little improvement on that though as the car is not quite to where I would like it.

Sam

[Sludgey]

Yes, myself and Floz hit the server for a quicky last night and I was hitting the (mid?) 25s in race pace/full fuel. Sadly I can't drive 2 laps the same, and tend to go off every 4th lap while pushing the limits, so it's all a bit hit and miss  
Not sure what quali pace is, since it was raining 

[poacherpete]

Congratulations Gary, what a pace. 
Great driving also for Mag and SBG 
1st race had no story at all 
2nd race.....no comments.... well, just a tiny one...
good fun our fight for a few laps Pete 
Cheers

He he Paulo i thought you were a 252 bhp car thats why i kept pulling over on the straights , lol.
Good little spar for a few laps though.

Made  1 error with a spin out of 2 races but enjoyed it , Karl was a thorn in my side in race two lol. he was slower in to  couple of corner than me but hat had the speed on the straight to stay well ahead.

OK so Gary has some weight for next time.

Christ what a blast, I'm still buzzing

First race was your average good fun. Nice battle with Mr.Rock who was nothing but completely fair. Good fun, ta.

The first 3/4 laps of R2 were about as much fun as I've had here . The 252's steaming past to the left and to the right of me was just so much fun. Must admit, I closed my eyes a couple times. Then really fine battle with Mags who was the first person I've seen race the radical on two wheeks. I almost came to a standstill in complete amazement Top drawer.

Also standards were far better this week I knew they would improve as we got use to these things and, now we have, I'm quite excited about rest of season. I'd encourage those who stayed away to try it again.

[Sludgey]

Absolutely awesome racing tonight, really close prolonged battles in both races. 

Big thumbs up to Bobobski, MrDaRock, Tooler, Mag07 and Floz 

Congrats to McDanger on his resounding wins...dunno how he got into the lead so early in race2... 

regards,
Sludgey

Great racing with you chaps once again 

Cant remember where I finished,got no replays  ,but really enjoyed it.

Don't know if it's these cars,,or the track,but just throwing these things into these kind of corners is the bees knees

Race 1 went alot better than race two for me,the car felt twitchy in race 2,maybe I was trying too hard,I know I hit too many kerbs in the second race,which kept people amused 

All in all,two fun races,looking forward to the next ones 

Cheers Bill
