Bridgestone Tour. FINISHED!

[HammyMansell]

You should be able to filter the lobby's by "friends only" or something, like that. It'll then only show you lobbies that your friends are in.

I'll post the room number anyway, just in case.

Ok mate thanks.

Also, I remembered I painted the Audi TT yonks ago as the BTCC Audi A4 from the mid 90s......Missing the Hamster vibe though!

See you friday at 8pm GMT people!

Dammit, you've use the 1990s BTCC scheme - that's what I was gonna do!!!

Edit: I'm gonna do it anyway, had it in my mind all week, but will use non-standard colours.

 

[Mistah_MCA]

I'm a "maybe" at the moment. Depends if my replacement wheel is here before the day of the race.

Go for it mate!! A nice colour scheme!

I'm still checking my schedule. Looking more like a "sorry fellas" with a slight chance of "here we go".

 

[Kermit_2142]

I’ll be there, with limited practice. Looking forward to a good mid pack scrap!! Should be good 👍

 

[Illum_Concept]

Livery part done, practice lobby set up for anyone interested.

Edit: OK, so my times were shocking, but on the plus side I've finished the livery.

Well no bloody wonder your times are shocking! You're facing the wrong way!!!!!

Poll added.

Poll added.

Genuinely don't mind. I tend to just bash out as many flying laps as possible in the time allowed. Piddling about with fuel burning or hunting for slipstream = less flying laps. This doesn't work for me as I'm limited by my ability to be consistent, not by the extra tenth or two I might gain from a lighter fuel load. But I'm happy for other drivers to take the risk, so whatever.

I can't dance on that.

I ran my first practice laps for the race, just in case I am able to make it. The rain is mainly on the plane, but it can sod off for race day. The AI is more effective when there is a loss of traction. But, they are still slow & in the way.

But, it took me 3 laps & I had to hang it out on the outside to make the pass stick. Damn Meganes.

Me too

 

[MaxAttack]

Yeah, not worried about getting the optimum optimum lap of the gods, will probably just run laps for the whole of quali.

 

[MaxAttack]

(apologies for the double)

Just ran a 20 minute test in custom race, best lap a 1:48.9

Petition to rename this round to "Understeer Nationals"

Wheelspin in 3rd at 90mph, crazy.

EDIT: looking through the thread my pace seems a little... Crazy. Was 100/100 power/weight not correct?

Maybe you didn't turn on tire wear and fuel?
Or you're just secretly a rain master.

Fuel and tire wear was on, I mean, It was a race, so I did have slipstream, but I doubt the slipstream is worth ~3 whole seconds around such a short track.

Willing to accept that I'm a god, though.

 

[HammyMansell]

The Hamster is ready to roll for tomorrow's wet race at the Big Balls Ring!

Ran a couple of exploratory laps, quite grippy considering, but as Max Attack says, wheel spin is a bit nuts out of the 2 slow ones, 3 and 4.

It should be an eventful little event tomorrow night, looking forward to it!

I just took a shot from the front as there won't be anybody looking at this car from the rear

@GOTMAXPOWER will see it from the rear when he gets a little too confident on the brakes, and ends up balls deep in a gravel trap. Backwards.

 

[Hygrade B]

Need to find a few hours to design a car ...lol
Not had time to practice been busy with PC2

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Mine still looks the same

I'll have plenty of cars ahead of me to use as brakes.

might have to come up with a witty comment for my rear bumper then 💡

Steel plate decal with "contact plate reserved for GOTNOBRAKES" underneath?

 

[MaxAttack]

@Bivittavus88 any explanation for how I was so quick earlier? What did I do wrong :d
