It's not gonna be leading with you or Scott driving it???

Don't under estimate experience. It's all about leading the last lap. Everything before that is just an aperitif

Oh, I thought we were talking about things that we actually expected to happen?

 

[Gadget334]

......and so it begins.....

What's the point of doing a competition if you can't use it as a thinly veiled vehicle for insulting your contemporaries?

 

[Pluxtheduck]

One thing we expect to happen is that the R8 isn't staying pointed the right way all race

 

[Ninners]

The tyre glitch actually makes the R8 more stable. Sadly my car had a bit of oversteer and then after the glitch it had understeer. Though jonny's onboard it looked like a dream so I guess CCR were setting it up for the tyre glitch(oversteer).

 

[jonnyb1990]

Points for Nin

 

[Ninners]

Though of course camber may be part of that I was one of dumb people to not believe that camber slowed you down.

I had the front set to 2.4 and rear to 0.2 so yeah that's not great for the handling I guess. Even more so as I did that with every race car that I've tuned.

Why do you think they want to do a stop before the start of the N24? everyone else is faster before the stop, they are faster after.

Hahahaha that's one way of putting it, but really it's so no one is disadvantaged by the glitch

 

[Ninners]

Well actually they are just as fast as the fastest if not the fastest car out there. Plux in the SLS is also just as fast. Though in quali jonny had damage and did a 8:06 and then in the race he did a 8:05 with tyre glitch. My best with the tyre glitch was 8:12 so it's not really pace it's just that nobody gets a disadvantage by pitting early.

Cough hadn't driven for a month too

Surely if you crash in qually doesn't that show you are driving beyond your personal skill level?

But if your car is good before AND after the glitch....and you've tuned it to be that way....

 

[Ninners]

We have 24hours to sort it out and besides the fastest team are not starting first but the most consistent team are.

Besides pitting before the start means that no behind the scenes issues, every one is on an even playing field.

 

[Phouchg]

Just kidding.. Just haven't got my setup fast after pit stop.. about 5 seconds slower at the moment.

 

[Pluxtheduck]

The most unlucky team are starting 6th!

 

[memto89]

Surely the most unlucky team is starting 9th??

 

[Pluxtheduck]

no, the most turbulent team is starting 9th, never got a chance to show what they could do due to team issues

 

[RACECAR]

Not always. In my case, sometimes it means you just shouldn't be driving at all

 

[memto89]

This is a call for who ever it is who's going to have people at their house for the N24 i.e. steve for TMB etc.... can you please do a internet speed check?? and post the results. We want to find out who has the best internet

CCR (won't be able to do it will the night before)
TMB
REST
RR
ABL
GORE
TOR
P24
FRT

Please get the results in ASAP as we need to sort things out

My internet is good and normally I volunteer to host but seeing as we will be connecting 2 PS3's to that connection (the second account provides the Livestream of the Timing Screens for everyone's benefit) I would really want to see a single point of failure where is we go down the timing goes as well. On this occasion I'd prefer NOT to be host for that reason.

Matt....you have a strong candidate right there! Amazing upload speed

 

[Pluxtheduck]

It is amazing how backwards the UK internet speed is...

 

[adrianhettich]

Just to raise the pressure guys before day "0"

 

[adrianhettich]

From around 17 min is in eng.

Its amazing how my speeds from home are around the same as Gadgets, yet mine is far less stable, guess its the travelling distance,

Dave, I think Matt would like you to actually go into 'Settings' on your PS3 and go to 'Network Settings' then 'Internet Connection Test' and give him some hard numbers as TOR and we have done
