[jobyone]

Did I miss the fun?

Yea. I spent an hour on the ring by myself

Actually scratch that. I had a blast. Me and an empty road and a great car (Clio R.S. '11 on CS). Great little combo

Srry for my attitude after race 3, was looking forward to that race and getting full damage lap1 for something I 100% had no control of was frustrating, sometimes I get to competive and probaly should drink couple cold ones during are event to relax me, Srry warden last race I was sliding threw grass and was not trying to re enter in front of u then I moved to right to let u pass hope u dont think I was blocking. Great battle at end with leash and Dan is going to help me sleep tonight now.

 

[88GTA]

Good racing everyone.

Don't forget kids, never drive the Prius TC.

I know you had no control. It was like a Nascar crash...whichever direction I picked would have been wrong.

I feel your pain about Race 3. Sunday races had me knocked out of one race due to someone lag crashing my car into oblivion...moved from 2nd to last with massive car damage. And I was punted off at Daytona on lap 1 which put me from 1st to last. Could have won the night if I had those points back. Very irritating. Apparently...people say "That's racing"...racing sucks sometimes.

 

[88GTA]

I was knocked around a bit too last night, but I had a good time anyway. Congrats on the win @Kgffy.

Someone needs to beat this guy!

 

[IceWarden]

Next time I'll be ready for Red Bull track

. Jst woke up, was not expecting to win points, who got 2nd, they can pick pp and I'll pick quailfling track.

 

[88GTA]

Who else, @kendawg.

 

[kendawg]

Who else, @kendawg.

Lets do 1980

 

[danfurey]

Hey guys I'm really sorry about causing the wreck on the third race. I just completely lost control of that Subaru. It did something totally weird even after I practiced wih it. I don't know I'll have to watch the replay when I have a chance to learn from it.

The fourth race was a blast. A good battle between @Kgffy , @Unleashed and myself . I need to learn to be more consistent and then I can actually be competitive! .

Can anyone offer any advice on how to handle turn 1 on the Daytona Road Course?! I hate this track so much because of this turn. I'm going at full speed with my nsx and making it around the curve after the start line and now you have to brake hard for a left hander. My car always feels unsettled as I'm braking and I spin out and hit the wall. I have never figured how to do this turn properly!

 

[jobyone]

yea slow down and turn the wheel

I truly hate that turn. I pretty much stay wide, slow down way more than necessary, let everyone pass me and then take the turn. And I am only partly kidding about that. In a MR that turn is a true pain

 

[jobyone]

for all you lovers of weird French cars

Brake early, let off and straight line a bit, then brake again....I always take 2 bites at braking there as nearly every car I've used doesn't like me trying to turn it into one big braking point and choose to lose control instead

 

[Kgffy]

My 1st race with u guys is when u did sarth no chicane and I grab a car that top out, would like to try it again this time Ill grab a Car that does not top out lol. Quailflying track nxt Tuesday circuit de la sarth 2009 (no chicanes)

If you saved a replay of that race, watch how I brake in my NSX. That may help you see how some of us set it up. It's hard to explain without showing you. I'm a visual learner

 

[88GTA]

@88GTA You can choose a new track

In yo face @kendawg.

I will replace Côte d'Azur with Red Bull Ring (Short). It was a tough call because I really wanted to add Tsukuba Diver but I really liked that new Red Bull track on Tuesday.

@Kgffy
Ken picks 1980pp (no split) so you're up on the track.

 

[Kgffy]

Look at couple post a above u, I already picked no chicanes

 

[IceWarden]

Oh just you wait. I'll think of something to put in your face too.

Not too much in my face. Your add and drop would have been the same choice I would have done.

 

[88GTA]

Perhaps we should make next week interesting by adding a twist? No rally cars? No race cars? No HSC?

 

[IceWarden]

Even MORE interesting....No NSX cars.
