Ah no worries then. Count me out for this one

Good Luck 👍

Well, as I said, it's Dax's series, so it's his choice. 👍

Looks like I need to get back practising tomorrow. Too many people are getting well into the 03s.

 

[brandofo]

I'm up for some practice runs later.

 

[VBR]

If there's anymore room left, I'm in. I'll sign up with Team: Vivid Racing, if R1600Turbo wants me as his team mate that is, my race number is 73.

I'll be able to show up for all rounds, & my aim is to win the teams championship.

You can't, it's reserved for me and Neljack already.

ooohhhh, the battle starts now

 

[flakypastry]

I'd like to officially sign up. I don't know if we are doing a first-come first serve, in which case put me in a reserve, or if we'll do divisional qualifying or something to that nature. I'm fairly certain I have the pace to be in the top 16, but I guess it's all up to Daxcobra on the call.

I don't mind teaming up with someone either.

I need to get my wheel out and dust all the cobwebs off and get so practice going.

 

[Phouchg]

Didn't expect this to get this popular. I have a feeling I'll be battling in the back of the back especially if we're doing qualifying to even get in to the race..

On the opening post it only says their is 16 people signed up not 18.

Dax's opening post has missed out some entries.

 

[Phouchg]

I haven't kept track myself but we've been saying for a couple of pages now that we're already 16 when people want to sign up. Dax should sort this out soon I hope.

Entry list as I make it (some colours won't be right, hard to tell the exact colour from just a description). dayofwar2009 has disappeared so he likely won't turn up and we've had registered interest from Sagaris, Jump_Ace, VBR, flakypastry, Kolin32k and probably some others I've missed.

So yes, hopefully Dax sorts this out soon.

 

[Phouchg]

You have forgot that my wheels are black not grey you know.. because i'm a rebel..

I didn't realise that as the post with the teams & drivers hadn't been updated when I made my post.

Done a test online with tyre wear set to Normal, & after 13 laps my best time was a 1'04.067, all other laps were in the 1'04's. Finding it hard to be consistent with this car on these tyres, my preffered choice would be Comfort Softs for more predictive slip.

If there are more than 16 already signed up then I'll pull out, no worries. I'm not up for being a reserve driver, but if I do race I'll be able to show up for all rounds.


👍

I'm pretty sure we will remain with Sports Softs. After all, this is APEX, not PURE, and we're trying not to take ourselves very seriously. 👍

Right you are. Fixed it.

Sports Hards Carb. Sports Hards.

And PURE ran on Sports Softs.

It wasn't a request, just expressing a personal prefference.

I hope it doesn't say in the teams and drivers that carb and nel will win it.. would feel a bit meaningless if it was so. ^^

Done. Sorry, hadn't realised that. 👍



Worked out the final sector; took .2 out there and another .05/.1 out in T1. Down to a 1:03.456 now with consistent high 1:03s on fresh tyres and low 1:04s when worn.

It's amazing how popular this is, I was thinking about signing up before. It has gotten quite busy since then! I'd like to do it, of course - but it's clear that it's overflowing, haha. Hope everyone has fun.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Found another .250 in T2 & 3 but dropped half a tenth in T1. Now down to 1:03.267.

 

[Phouchg]

Could we be very punctual this sunday? because I have another race just after (it got moved, was two hours later before) and I would hate to have to miss one of the races.

@207 or 213BHP?

Oh Mardy, get a room

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

@207 or 213BHP?

210bhp. So right in the middle. Been slowly breaking it in by running 20 lap races. 👍

At this track though, the extra power doesn't mean much I've found, maybe a tenth or 2 over the whole lap. Most of the time I've been finding is just by refining my lines.

Oh Mardy, get a room

 

[DaxCobra]

Maybe I should practise.

 

[Yeratel84]

Maybe I should practise.

Maybe... but first you should sort out the entry list...

This.

Due to lack of updates & communication from the organiser, I'm no longer interested, count me out.

Dax, this.

So far the most organized list is FordMKIVJ5s.

Even though I'm not racing the first race I did a 30 min pratice and couldn't hit a 2 for the life of me. I had the sectors, just can't get it all in. 1:03.340 with a T1 alomst .2 off my last lap and .3 off a good one.
