That's strange, I only saw 4 of us in the final race after Brandon had his moment with the Armco!

With zero practice done beforehand, I'm surprised I managed to shave almost a whole second from my time in the second race.

Stooopid armco. Didn't matter, I knew by the end of the first lap I wasn't winning that race so I kinda phoned it in after that.

I think amerynceos parked somewhere but was in the results. Jonn was invisible to you. There was funny stuff at the hairpin you two trying to fit in exact same place

It's a shame that happened as I was really looking forward to trying to catch you and @amarynceos...

then your spin happened, and amary slowed to offer you the place back I guess, king also looked to have slowed down... then I saw it!!! That ever illusive GAP , I was sounding my horn to try and somehow communicate to the others to continue racing,

"Brandon's driving backwards, keep racing!" I would shout in a futile effort along with my weedy horn... beep beep beeeeeeeppppp, as opposed to two short beeps which obviously means everybody slow down!

 

[amarynceos]

Hah, I just got all sorts of confused there. I thought maybe I had smacked Brandon as he was recovering, so I checked up to see if he was catching up, then just as hobbsy passed me beeping (I assumed at the time it was an 'I'm here' beep like KingKlingeling does sometimes) I realized Brandon was going backwards against the barriers, but my mojo tank broke, spilling mojo all over the track and I ended up parking it in the pits.

Hi guys, sorry for my poor driving. Cu3e, I did tap you on the 1st race I think. Really need to pack in some practice to get to the 2:00 mark. Thanks for the race.

It was me doing the tapping I think

Speed comes with practice. I have never liked Monaco that much. It took me tens of laps to get under 2:06 when I was first testing the car / track setup. And a lot more to even get to the 2:02 area. Later with some help from hobbsy and King practicing together I was able to get under 2:01 a few times which seemed almost impossible for me to reproduce in the race.

I still believe in the original format of All Japan Club. The choice of usable cars and tracks turned out to be more limited than I had anticipated. Some time in future I might try it again with a different theme. So more locations, more cars (maybe also more power ) but keep the pack tight and enjoy some clean racing . In the meantime I will take a break from hosting and instead have a look around what other races are there. Looking forward to some more tuning for CG's event next weekend 👍

Huge thanks to all of you. Especially to the regulars, I think you know who you are. Enjoyed every race with you guys I am sure I will see you all later.

All Japan Club is now closed. Last one out turn off the lights

 

[BrandonW77]

Thanks for the racing Bergele, it was fun and I look forward to more! If you need help testing future cars just holler.
