Hopefully be on later, can you leave the lobby set to “no fixed ownership” so we can continue after you leave. Saves the agro of setting up a new lobby 👍

Patiently sat here waiting for auto drive to get me down to approx 60% fuel. Christ it's slow
Just put it in first gear and pin it, but hold just enough brake pressure so that it revs to the red line but doesn’t bounce off the limiter.
Is the lobby still open?

Should add, I'm also trolling Fb . . Multitasking. Who says is just for women, eh?
Yup, it'll be open for a good hour or so. Hoping to do two full race length runs tonight.

Good luck tomorrow everyone, it should be a wicked race!!
Beardo, is bump drafting allowed (penalty dependant), or would you like to outlaw it completely?
Also remember our first race lap will be on very cold tyres (remember spa?) so easy first lap will see everyone gets round safely and enjoy 18laps of slipstream mayhem
. See you all tomorrow.

Honestly, I'd prefer if you didn't bump draft. But, provided it doesn't cause penalties, and you do it safely, I'm ok with it.
Yup, the cold tyres thing is very important here. Manual rolling start, soooo, brake nice and early for the first two chicanes. Especially the first one, as we approach it at approx 280kph.

No need, we've already discussed this. I think we were all in agreement that @Mistah_MCA is our brakes

I have renumbered a few and shared them. I won't be using any of these so if you like, use one.
I have been thinking about making a tribute livery for tonight and I finally sat down and made it this morning. 1 1/2 hours later I am satisfied enough to use it. Will share the livery after the race. And since I was sitting on 4 other liveries made to fit the tour I renumbered for you Maxattack.
Here is my new one, the one for tonight.
Edit: after the race it will be made Sport Mode ready.

Some cracking liveries going on lately. Beardo should pick one end of the season and give a “best livery” award. 👍

That's beautiful, mate.
Not a bad idea. I'll pick my favourite from each round, to narrow it down. Then pick an overall.
Discounting my own, of course.

I know that deep down you loved my offensively pink Mazda from round 1

Grabbing the borrowed ride for tonight... It still has a 74 sticker on the rear wing endplates. All part of a cunning plan to trick the stewards - punting @GOTMAXPOWER at T1 and hoping @RacingGrandpa gets the blame...

The 74 on the endplates of the wing are a tribute to Daijiro Kato.

The #74 isn't the only thing out of place, I'm sure that AM sticker should be on my car.

Dajito Kato along with Marco Simoncelli is one of my favourite gp riders, what absolute legends the both of them.

I grew up watching Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz take over after the European domination. Was a big fan of Max Biaggi too, but he didn't make the transition to four strokes so well. Also really admired Norick Abe.
