Yep we have done it in some past enduro's pawel, if we go to a track that has weather change, we will, but we won't look for wet weather tracks then pick the car.
We just search for the best fit first, then if it was weather, we will whack it on.

Quick question everyone. Are you all keen on the 1.5hr-ish race or don't mind it being a little more, say 1 hr 45 mins to the full 2 hours?

Hey Rota...I'm keen for this race...but Iv'e still got Monday's race in mind...I don't want to be too tired to do my best though...so I'd prefer 1.5 hours. If your on tonight...we'll do some testing!

Ok looks like we will be running a close to 1.5 hr race. Might go over but the aim will be that mark.
This is the Final regs set for Sunday night, I will not change it from now on so you can all setup and test with these regs.
Ford (AU) XR8. PP set to 620. NO TURBO. All drivers are able to adjust every aspect of their cars, meaning you can play around with suspension, the amount of aero you wish to run, the amount of power you wish to run, etc.
Tyre Regs
We will be running race MEDIUMS and race SOFTS. You cannot run race HARD, and you must do at least 1 stint on each compound (Softs and Mediums), there is no minimum set of laps that each compound has to run, so you can run softs for the entire race and come in on the 2nd last lap and whack on your mediums for the final lap. You can not put them on on the final lap, and cross the line in pit lane to win the race.
Qualifying may be a little longer than usual as we will wait for all drivers to enter the room, but race start will be at 8.30, so try make it in as fast as possible.
Just like many of you boys in Oni's series, I think its easiest if we STATE our qual tyre before jumping on to do our laps. It just ends up being easier. Once you state your compound for qual, you cannot change, then you must start the race on that compound.
Any questions of things I have left out, feel free to ask. I'm still unsure on the amount of laps, but while your testing keep in mind we are aiming for the 1.5hr mark and you can guess from there how many laps we might do.
Cheers everyone

Despite going backwards in the race, it was really fun, the noise of the car, trying to squeeze every inch of the track, every lap, had some battles at points, and did some dives into the corners on some people, jol and asuka(i think it was), not on purpose....well, maybe the one on jol.
But mostly kept out of trouble with most people.
As for the next race, i was going to suggest a RUF cup race, but for premiums, maybe Lotus Elises? Or Evora's?

Spot on Pawel ! Glad your connection held too. Massive condolences to Dive whos' failed after what , 60 laps ? Also Vodas DC which was less of a surprise but still disappointing.
For me the most enjoyable aspect was the light damage. Taking risks and pushing a little past the usual boundaries was truly in the spirit of these cars. Great fun in the opening laps too , lots of rubbing and close racing. I think that's all what we were hoping for. Congrats to Jol , sooo close Taital !
Thanks all for a great night.

it was a great night, opening laps i stayed out back just to get to grips with things. After two offs it saw me a behind so i pitted early...seemed to be the correct thing to do as I caught up about 15 seconds and jumped 2 places!
Sadly i spun it and that put me at the back again lol. then my son waking up ended my race. Only 8 laps behind but rejoined and had some fun. First time i have driven the XR's and loved it.
I would suggest RUF's next (anly because we are racing them in our current season)
RGT's are nice looking and plenty of fun.
BTR's are same power but more torque...abit of a handful.

One other thing, what ever car we pick next, can we have it so the cars are STANDARD with NO MOD's
Then it isnt a tuning game and more about the drivers.

Hey velly
Ill try to make the race if there is still room. Just to clarify we cant change any suspension settings spring rate, ride height or gear ratio. For me that takes away half the fun of the game but thats fine if there the rules.
also whats your psn id so i can add you.

I believe he means no stage 1,2, or 3 engine mods etc or any other changes to the standard attachments after the RM'ing is done, and that it's ok to "tune" the car's settings (i.e. transmission, suspension, brakes).
I could be wrong, but that's how i'm interpreting the situation.
And his PSN ID is in the left hand panel of his posts. (velster)

Just to clean things up, you can not tweak any settings. The idea is that all cars are equal. I know this takes out the tuning part but we just use the car the way it is.
So just to clarify,
Once you bought a new golf. Mk4
Rm it
Then you can not add any other performance parts or tuning parts.
The room will be set to " tuning prohibited" to ensure all vehicles are equal.
Add velster as I will be hosting
Hope you can all make it
Cheers

Great race last night. So many different tactics being played.
I think strong draft was not the best option but it helped a few, jol esp where he managed about 4 laps drafting the front runners saving about 3 seconds a lap!
Thanks all for joining
Will let you know what next weeks race will be...open to suggestions
