Wooo that was really fun 
First race I thought I might have bumped SK in the first turn and backed off.. maybe a bit much because then i could never catch up with him again.
Second race I was pushing like crazy most of the race to catch SK but every time i almost caught up I made some stupid mistake.. But then in the last two laps I did 1:08.4s and managed to pass him woo!
Last race we switched positions every lap, on the last lap I threw together a fantastic first sector and I think SK might have made some mistake or gave up and lost 1.5s from then on I could cruise to victory.

Stupid connectionproblems 👎
Anyway, first race first corner there were some serious lag in front of me so naturally I got very disturbed and really got in the way of everybody
Second race was better, got off the line real quick and had a comfortable lead but not for long. The two 'aliens' caught up with me and I couldn't keep up with them when I needed it. Later in the race I felt good with the track and the Tigra and managed to do similair times as the leaders.
Third race then, did not get off the line very well and had a lot of traffic. Sorry if I got a little bumpy here and there (should have practiced with the Sera too).
I liked the track, very nice flowing and the cars were perfect on it (well, the Tigra anyway). I think I was about 1 second faster with the Tigra, maybe the darkness made me slower in the Sera.
Thanks and Race you later!

Thursday Results
* - Phouchg / xNikodemusx & AudiMan2011 / Street-King-07, tied for top points. Since there were wins involved in the tie for 1st, the tie is broken by Phouchg's winning 2 of 3 races, (also both of the long races).
Plus, since Audiman2011 said the Tigra was "girly" the other day... I really wanted to be able to say this...
AudiMan2011 winning silver on both Tuesday & Thursday...
Always the bride's maid
never the bride

(I figure I could make jokes like this about Phouchg being a bride because he has a healthy sense of humour... I hope.)
Anyway... Saturday we're racing the vroom vroom bull Land Rover Range Stormer... vs the itty bitty Minica Dangan... lol

Thursday Photomodes
Race #2
That's a clump of cars heading into that dodgy set of 1st turns...
Cobrius 👍 (The more Swedes the merrier!)
I must say, the chromes do look good on these cars.
John visited the GTAuto paint shop... perhaps for the first time.
Audiman2011 spends a lot of time out front on Toscana Tarmac tracks.
I saw a lot of tongo's car... Magamarot rocks.
Did paulmac2k9 match his helmet? Someone should've told him to ask Doodle how unlucky that is.
I think I actually had to countersteer the SERA a couple of times.
This time tongo was trying to kill the people.
Cobrius learned the track pretty quick.
Ryzno spent some time lonely on the track... though that may have been a relief at times.
Audiman2011 is a tough customer on Toscana Tarmac... but the Swede was very determined!
jackargent's car looked suspiciously watermelon themed... come on anyone can see it!
Phouchg crossing the finish line... Audiman2011, as well as Cobrius, quite close behind.
Race #3
Tongo managed to hold a lead through almost 2 laps ... if I was tongo I would've felt like the fox in a hunt, seeing all the excitement in the rest of the grid. LOL
Phouchg & Audiman2011 had a close race the entirety I saw in the replay. Very exciting!

As long as I get half-decent finishes, I don't really care for wins as I'm not a victory hunter, but when I have a chance up front, I will fight for it.

And fight you did Had a lot of great fights with you yesterday! I just managed to eek out that little extra in the end.
The second race was so weird.. I was fighting like mad to even catch audi but then when I finally did I just flew by and kept on flying ^^ Just felt like such a relief to finally catch up so passing and winning just came without effort. ^^

Oh I forgot to mention that my brakepedal seems to be giving up or something, it applies the brakes every now and then. Watermelon should have noticed when driving past me up the hill.
Anyway it's a DFGT and it's happend a few times lately. Has anybody done any mechanical work on this type of pedals or is it even possible?
Some good pictures there Watermelon.👍

Yes, I did notice this. But I am used to it, from driving behind Audiman2011 who often rides his brake.
He mentioned his brake pedal also as the cause.I spend lots of time behind Audiman2011
- during the races and during the practices. I noticed it most when Audiman2011 was in the SERA, and less in the Tigra over the past week. I found that curious.
Phouchg, on the other hand, unintentionally leans on his horn sometimes.
I like this term! "Victory Hunter".
I have the same attitude. I will try my best of course, always to stay ahead as much or as long as I can. But as long as the cars, tracks, competition, & racing is fun... I'm never disappointed about a finish. Some of the most exciting races I've had were fighting against last place!
There are multiple fixes for that problem as a quick search will show but I opted for a bungy cord (or whatever they're called ^^) because it was the easiest fix.
I think it was RDAardvark who once mentioned using a foam ball under a pedal...? Or perhaps that was the throttle pedal, not sure!!

I sucked yesterday, no practise plus not liking most Tocanas meant I performed badly.
Btw it's wankel
. Also look forward to the next ideas . (Also on the mismatched Suit/Helmet to car design. My main is in a BTCC MG Suit, Jason Plato but my Pirtek suit still would have looked out of place .) Said suit
