This is what turn 6 looks like in real life looking down from one of the camp sites above.@ Laguna Seca Raceway. Notice the wider extra run off on the left side of the track as well as all the skid marks leading off that way...

Turn 9 is different then in the game as well. I'll try and find a cool view of it to show you guys.

You have the coolest JOB EVER!!

You have the coolest JOB EVER!!

Thanks Manny! I sometimes can't believe I do what I do, and how lucky I am to have Motorsports pumping through my vains!!!!

I am making plans to be on the road even more in 2015! I am going to try and follow the Pirelli world challenge series as well as the Indy and Tudor series.

Doing photography at all!! So stay tuned for more images to come.

Hey Fergus, did you keep the Mini room on fixed or non-fixed ownership last time?
And was the room quality the recommended setting (high) or the one above that?
Just wondering, thanks pal.

I always use non-fixed, and I set it one notch lower than the recommended. Mine usually shows very high, so I drop it to high.

Aww sweet!
Perfect that Spa is first out, since I'm usually only able to join for the first ~60 minutes or so.
I would have hated it if I had missed out on Spa. I went there in 2009 and walked ½ of the track.
We started walking it backwards from La Source onwards, and by the time we came up to the Pouhon area a track official told us to leave immediately.
So we never made it the whole way 'round.. and therefore I can't say I have stood at the top of Eau Rouge.
Bit of a letdown.

I might travel there again some day, though.

Excellent - Mini's around London. 👍. I love racing karts around there.

Can I suggest London reverse for at least one of the races. It will avoid the bottleneck of the first corner on the first lap. (And I think it flows better)

Also back to the Matterhorn. Great, since I missed out the last time the Mini's went up the mountains.

You're right If, I changed London to reverse, its better.

A great montage of pictures Logan. Really captures all the action.

Who's that idiot sideways on at the ring?
Oh wait a minute... argh 🤬 that's me!

I think that could apply to a few other of us as well. Certainly me.

 

[FergusMik]

Great pictures Logan, thanks for posting! 👍

 

[Sutsagrd]

I can't compete with Logan or Jocke. Amazing pics of the races. I was amazed I didn't T-Bone Bailepoint3 as I came round the corner and found him at 90 degrees to the track

I only managed 2 piccys from the ring...

Smiley streaking ahead for the win.

 

[FergusMik]

Found this... I didn't know people have been filming our races and and posting them!

I've decided last weeks Cosworth V6 Mini didn't have a big enough engine. So I've added a couple of cylinders...

Very nice the V8 should help a bit...

 

[LOGANHEAD831]

Happy Tuesday everyone! I will be running a test lobby in the a.m. tomorrow. For a test for Wednesdays races so if you need to do some last minute testing come out and join me at Spa to start the mornings testing.👍

 

[LOGANHEAD831]

Update 1.13 sound fix is live Very fast download for this patch...

 

[LOGANHEAD831]

Test lobby is open for last minute set up changes. Starting test session at Spa.

Thanks everyone for coming out! Great racing tonight. 👍

 

[Mr Gear]

Sorry guys not feeling it tonight, sorry for quick exit.

That red-shirted guy is thinking;

Some Mini's in the mountains.

Is that me in pic #5 ?

I caught the curb or grass as I hit the brakes - and that doesn't end well.

Good fun yesterday though 👍.

Apologies for the start of the first Spa race, my wife phoned just at the green light (she was out and I had to answer ). I did the entire first lap one-handed though, with manual gears . Spa is a great track though, even in slower cars.

I think I prefer London the right way round, apart from the first corner, that is. Didn't know what I was doing in the first London race - hadn't been on it for ages.

I'm not sure Logan knew what he was doing.

Certainly not where he was going (to end up).

I caught the curb or grass as I hit the brakes - and that doesn't end well.

I did the same thing, but somehow I forgot to take a picture of that.

Great fun racing again yesterday. Thanks Mik.
