Classic MINI Racing Club (ID: 1001881) - Friday August 14th, 2015 @ 3:00pm EDT/7:00pm GMTOpen

[FergusMik]

First time in the room, had a blast, and hopefully didn't disgrace myself to much. Will look out for the room in future, was good clean racing.

Glad you had fun, hope to see you again next week.

That's what I was on, but cracked up the rear brakes to slide it into druids. Feels really soft, and leans a lot, but I like the set up, and it suits my DS3 using old school x and square buttons for go and stop

I found his tune way to soft for my taste. Note that his brake balance setup may not be the right one for you. I run 1/3 (F/R) with ABS=1, and I have a Logitech DFGT wheel. I found this brake setup the best for my brake pedal. You may have to play with it a bit, because I noticed while watching the replays that you were locking the rear wheels almost every time you used the brakes. You might like it better with ABS=1, no shame in using it, each persons hardware is different.

Next Wednesday's Race Agenda has been posted at Post #4

 

[IfAndOr]

So many variations on tuning. So many different driving styles. And in the Mini they're all fun.

 

[LOGANHEAD831]

Hahaha wish I could do this on my evil turbo mini!!!!

 

[buybon355]

Using a pad!! Jesus you done really well then mate.

Cheers Hellstorm. I've tried using the R2 and R3 buttons for accel and brake, but prefer x and square. Just makes progressive power delivery a touch difficult, but I'm well used to it. Seems most folk have wheels, need to start saving I think

You seemed to be doing a great job with those buttons.

A wheel won't necessarily make you any quicker (well not to begin with), but it certainly adds to the immersion.

Here is my old GT Turbo 1980 i was talking about last Wednesday, had to sell due to money and my daughter being born, she was my pride and joy.

Bought it in France in 2004, left hand drive, was and original beast!!!

I'm sporting a new colour scheme for our next outing, it's looking pretty sexy,

will there be any enduros soon, or even try and arrange one this Sunday, love enduro races.

We don't have any enduros on tap at the moment, but Loganhead is putting together a small series we are going to do soon.

With the coming time change back to Standard Time this coming weekend, I'm going to need to change the picture in Post #1 of this thread.

So I would like my fellow Mini fanatics to each post one of their favorite pictures (or snap a new one from your collection of replays) from our online races and we will select one to represent the thread through the winter.

I think Logan, fergus and ifandor do the best pics on the thread.
1 of theirs should represent it.
With lots of cars.
👍👍👍👍

Sounds interesting! I suppose being that it's a Mini it would have to be a small series.

I'm sporting a new colour scheme for our next outing, it's looking pretty sexy,

Ooh, one to look out for then.

...With lots of cars.

I'll have to try and take a Mini filled one. Now if everyone can drive around close together on Wednesday and smile for the camera!



One a side note, Smiley's starting a Suzuki Cappuccino Club on a Thursday - it's like a rear wheel drive Mini (with 2 seats).

And don't forget Jocke's BMW Z8 Club - it's rear wheel drive (with 2 seats), but not like a Mini!

We had talked about taking a picture at Sierra before. Maybe the first race we all drive to the first rest stop together and pose the Minis for a picture and then do a standing start from there?

 

[TheHellStorm]

I'm not gunna be able to make the next mini meet now as I'm racing myself in the evening so I won't be back til 10pm uk time. I may do the Z8 race tomorrow though if pos

Re. Pictures with loads of Mini's

I'd forgotten all about these but there's lots of Mini's in them!

Ooohhh it is Tuesday. Thought it is Wednesday.

One more day to wait

 

[Team_SWE_1]

We might drive on snow soon



See you tonight guys

I will open a room earlier in the evening so all are welcome there for some warmup races

 

[FergusMik]

See everyone tonight!

 

[FergusMik]

Thanks everyone for coming out, and enduring the room issues.

 

[hobbsy]

Cheers

Room closed.

Thanks everyone for coming out, and enduring the room issues.

I'm glad I stayed a little bit longer, thanks to Broom Hilda I got a new avatar.

The new time trial @FergusMik - Front-Wheel Drive Non-Race Car Super Lap. 👍
Around Bathurst it should be easier. The lap times are less than the 10+ minutes of Sierra (Hopefully!).



Despite the connection problems - I had good fun last night. The usual thanks Mik. And of course to your stand in room runner @hobbsy (Nemisis-Reaper)

 

[JockeP22]

With so much LOTR content a couple pages back in the thread I couldn't stop my imagination when watching this;




After Gimli I hear @FergusMik's voice off-screen going "And you have my Mini."

 

[LOGANHEAD831]

The new sema winner for the gr award.

I took a crack at this earlier today, was 18 seconds off bronze with our Mini, don't think she can do it.

Me and If from this Wednesday;
