You're a peach. I just got home. I'll have dinner and be on and around for the rest of this evening. Then I'll sleep some. 😵 Then I'll wake up and repeat. No real plans from now until racing tomorrow. I'll look for you online. 70 has its perks. 😉

I’m available as of 9:30 tonight.

Hearing that a few of you went out and bought it, I’m determined to get more usage out of this thing and maybe start using it for Snail as if mid-May.
 
Earlier tonight @Buffalo_DRD pointed out something about my liveries and by jingies he might be on to something, namely my colour schemes seem to all be bi-chromatic, ie. red and white. OK, that's about as patriotic as I get. Thanks also to @Marcus Garvey and @Dragonwhisky for VR help. I think with a little practice and patience VR is for me. Such an amazing increase in realism.

Edit: I'm blaming my oversight on a) the late hour. b) the fact I turned 70 this week. c) the smokey haze that both I and the room was in. Anyway here's my line up for tonight.

I've had PsVR from day one, and I won't go back to driving without it. I quit playing Assetto Corsa because it doesn't have vr mode.
 
D1 thread for may season has been created.

We lost our trusty host racingchamp, can you please host @Dragonwhisky or anyone else with a solid internet connexion if will be appreciated if you want shorter delays between races.

I will do replays + scores and data as usual.
 
Dragonwhisky
Yeah. I'll give hosting a bash.

Don’t change host for me, but last couple months I can’t enter your practice lobbies for some reason, I’ve tried over dozen times. I’ll try join your practice lobby later, but if same maybe I can host in future as I have strong connection.

You're welcome to it @Kgffy . I may not be able to join your room either. Reckon we'll see how it works out.

Weird, if you want to join in I can host then. Wouldn't want to exclude anyone.
@Dragonwhisky Change of plans, I will host but can you upload replays please ?
 
Tried again, joined other rooms today, on standby so will sit out this evening, next week can we see if you can join my lobby @Dragonwhisky and if it works I can host rest of May

Appreciate but we can sort out next week, some reason dragons and my connections don’t like each other lol.
 
Hosts should start on time tonight. The only reason to delay start is to allow a driver already in the lobby their 3 minutes to sort out connection issues
 
D1 Replays uploaded. Would someone please check and let me know if I tagged them correctly. Thanks.
 
D1 photos as usual on monday.

The Alpine is in its 7th consecutive week. I'm about to run out of interesting liveries at that point. Still a great little fun car to throw around. I wonder what is the record for the most consecutive weeks for a single car in SNAIL.

Tokyo summed up in a photo. Missed apex for everyone atleast once.

What a challenging combo that was but it was so rewarding when you got it right flying very close to the walls and hitting the apexes. I had an optimal time of 1:59.6xx but unfortunately I didn't manage to get everything right at once. Overall, I didn't expect to like that combo, I wouldn't have picked that track but I'm glad Xrad did because it got me out of my comfort zone.
