It's the 206 for me, both races.
When rally tracks are used in seasonal TTs Jocke, the penalty system is quite liberal regarding track limits. Basically, the fastest line is allowed as long as you're not clattering into the barriers. Given that the circuit isn't quite as well defined at Toscana as it is on road courses, can we take liberties in our choice of line? (It would make for better overtaking opportunities I think)
Cheers, Zo.

It'll be brill to see you there Nuts. You can tune away as much as you like fella, there's just the BHP and weight limits. I have to say, I haven't found much in the way of improvement from any adjustments I've tried, getting te gearing right made the biggest difference.
Cheers, Zo.

Sorry for the rage quit. Got slammed in the rear on the first lap dropping from 5th to the end of the grid. Later messed up with pit "strategy" (read: not having one). Then when I got to the pits after some questionable manuevre I got a drive through penalty (didn't pit) with almost empty tank... Just got to the point where I did not spend another minute with the game...

WOW tonight was FUN FUN FUN thats probably the first online rally Ive had. With so many cars on track I thought everyone did so well to avoid each other but raced so close.
Sorry for any minor bumps, Dusty I did bump you slightly in race two but moved over for you to take the place back, sorry again.
Good one Nuts and well done for your wins good pace as ever
Thanks Jocke.....Cheers gents

It happens to us all once in a while Bergele, no sense in giving yourself a stroke for the sake of etiquette. When you need to quit, you need to quit.
Having said that, I loved the racing tonight, even with my utterly ridiculous mistake which cost me the win in the first race. Crossed the line at zero hour, forced an extra lap and ran out of juice, instead of trundling over the line a moment later and finishing there and then. Ha!
Still, loved every second of it. Well done to Nuts, two excellent drives. Dusty's not going to take that sitting down, what his pace will be like next week I can only guess at. Should make for interesting racing up front. And well done to Suts brilliant second place in the second race.
Cheers, chaps, here's to next week, Zo.

The racing tonight was frantic and fun. Well done again Jocke for picking amazing cars and tracks as well as the settings. 
Have to say i bought my cars about 30 mins before the start so never expected to do so well. 4th first race and amazing 2nd at Toscana. I think it helped you could race off track as that's where I'm usually found in most races...at the scene of the accident.
Also the fact that Zo had a moment only 2 mins from the end of the race...only reason I got past him.
Sorry too if I bumped anyone but they were small BTCC type ones.
Shame Bergele had such a bad time. You're usually up with the leaders. I saw many cars spin just after the mega incline on the first lap and somehow managed to avoid everyone.
Look forward to more rally type races as it obviously suits me better!?!

It all worked out in the end.
From past experiences restarting a race with fourteen drivers in the lobby
can be risky business since someone usually gets invisible to the others after that.
But the lobby seemed to be very strong without any issues, not even one disconnection.
I ran out of fuel at Riffelsee, had the race been just a lap shorter it would have been fine
but I took a gamble and was up to eighth with moments to go.
Reality soon returned though.
I'm not sure but I think there was about eleven different rally car models represented on
the grid out of fourteen participants. That's no mean feat.
Sorry you couldn't enjoy it, @Cu3e.
Yeah, Harsk must have had a wet dream tonight after being in a lobby filled almost to the brim of Rally cars.
; )
I was hoping for some kind of drama like that.
It's fun setting the races up for Very Fast tyre depletion and fuel consumption. Get it right
and most of the drivers are on a knife's edge on the final lap with the needle all the way in
the red. Some will risk it and not pit, while others play it safe. We've had a few of these now,
the M3's at Laguna is still my favourite. Where Paul cruised to the finish while four others ran out
on the final lap.
Yeah suts, consistent finishes and also that win in the bonus race. 👍

Sounds like my race @Cu3e! Just as i came to grips with the car and track i did notice the dwindling fuel gauge. So i came from zero strategy to zero pitting strategy. The extra lap killed that idea, had a drive-through visit to the pit stop too but i was lucky to not come out last. 
In the second race i had too much fun slipping and sliding and never got to decent pace. The ∂∫ was a handful, but so rewarding if you can nail the corners.
Thanks @JockeP22 for the rallye festival and to all fellow racers for great racing!

Another great nights racing,thanks for hosting @JockeP22
After transferring my rally cars from the stockyard into my garage and entering @JockeP22 's lobby, I found that tuning was allowed but rather than fine tune all the cars, I decided to plump for the C4 '****-one' as I had Loeb as my A-spec Bob anyways.
After putting the default TT suspension settings on the car and messed with the ride height, gearing and diff found that I was on the pace of @Dustybin so, judging by others previous comments, decided that was OK and waited for quali.
Just about grabbed pole after a frantic 6 mins and made a terrible start, deciding to graze the wall on the way down the hill and was promptly deposed into 3rd/4th.
As we crested the hill, found that Dusty had come a cropper in his '99 Focus and was ready for the inevitable T-bone in the centre of the track
, luckily, I think everyone must have missed him
The chase was on to catch Zolon and after an uncharacteristic slip-up by himself, dropping a wheel onto the grass at the crest before the start finish straight, I set about going flat out for as long as possible as I had no idea what the tyres would be doing (wear-wise) or how long the fuel would last and the fact that the differing cars could have bigger/smaller tanks than each other.
I managed to build up a sizeable lead and decided to pit just after half distance (lap 13) and was shocked to see Zolon and @rmts_kingdom go sailing past.
After exiting the pits and rejoining the track,I was about 20 seconds behind hoping Zolon and rmts would pit but no, they were gonna run on fumes 'tll the end.
The rest is history, as they say, and can be watched again if you saved the replay.
Great to see a full lobby (14), in 11 different cars, all driving impeccably.

Hopefully it's come to you having more sleep.
You would have enjoyed it though. And you had bought all the cars! Perhaps we can persuade Jocke to try something similar again so you could give them a run out. I've washed and touched in the paint chips on my Subaru, so it's ready again.

thanks guys,
Could be worth saving our rally cars 'til then.
But yeah I could go for more rallying some other time. It felt like the old days playing Colin McRae on the PS1.
Except I used to win the races back then and not finish last each time. : )
That's what I said to Paul in the lobby, gk's probably sleeping. ; )
You know, I've heard someone might be starting a Rally and Hill Climb Championship in January or February. Harsk

No refunds.

If you had crossed the line later my (lack of) strategy would have worked!
0.6 of a second later! That's all it needed. I'd done a rough calculation in my head half way round the previous lap and thought I was alright. Too rough I'm afraid
Glad you were able to capture the moment Dusty said "Oh, there's a lesser spotted Tit Warbler over there on the right hand verge. Think I'll have a look."
Cheers, Zo.

Thanks Rick, I'm having a rare Friday off tomorrow so if Tarkus has room and if Mallet can keep me awake I will join the SAC today.
It's such a rare occurence seeing Dusty go off track, isn't it.

Hi guys, just letting you know a little bit ahead of time there
won't be any C Club races this Tuesday since I won't be at home.
I think the Grumpy British Racing Club are racing later today though
and I will try to join in with them.
Oh, and vote for this track to be included in GT7.

I realise it'll never happen, it's just for the fun of it.
