CluB543 - Season 2Open

[Gastrobotic]

Thanks for your comments AAG.
Anyone else got 2 cents to put in?

 

[Gastrobotic]

Will be on this wednesday night for prac gentlemen. Club room. Enter via community section / clubs.

This is your chance to try out cars with the group and decide which one to pick.

I have decided that there will be a penalty for changing car through the season.

If you change car your tyres will be put down one level.
Eg, if you start with one car on sport mediums, when you change car you will use sport hards.

I think it is fair and enough to discourage people swapping cars.

Any complaints?

 

[Nicko]

Sounds good to me!

I will be on Wednesday night for some prac!

 

[Slotrunner]

Hi Gas put me down as a runner and will be there Wednesday night for some practice
Cheers

Hey guys, great nights practice, should be a good series to compete in. Im still out to lunch as to which car Im going to run, they all have strengths & weakness.........just something else to challenge the mind.

Heyy Brett. I thought you might've forgotten about us. No posts, no prac. Good to see. Are you going to prac this coming Wed or just show up for race 1?

I'll try to make it this week. Had a bit on lately, but to be honest, practising makes very little difference to me. I find that I have a set level of speed regardless of how much I practice, so other than the social factor, it's of no real use. Looking forward to catching up though, just the same.

 

[A_A_Gamer]

Yeah fair enough, it can be hard to find time when your busy. You may not gain any benefit from practice, but you still need to pick a car. Unless you have already, then never mind me i'll just shut up. Yeah hope you can get on this week and all the other guys too. It'd be good to see a full grid before we start. Mind you Ryzza prob wont make it either, but you never know

 

[Phil barber]

Keen to have a run and once you pick a car can you change it or have to race full series with it.cheers Phil.b

 

[A_A_Gamer]

Yeah we were discussing this. Have a look at the second post at the top of this page. Your allowed to change car if you think you picked the wrong one, but you will be penalised with worse tyres. Still a little over a week left Phil, theres still time to test and pick a car

 

[Gastrobotic]

Thanks for some excellent races tonight guys. Really enjoyed those good battles.

After giving the Gallardo a go at Matterhorn I think that one might be my pick actually... the GTO was just waaay to taily for my liking.

See everyone next Wednesday!

Warm up those tyres boys lol

Meggs, you need to pay more attention to your pit crew, perhaps teach them the meaning of "being pro-active" ??
They are having a good bludge.... standing around doing SWEET F. A. !!! lol

Maybe they could learn a thing or 2 from this bunch lol

Thanks everyone!!! See you all next wednesday for round 2 @ Madrid.
Cheers, Gastro.

 

[XR6_Racer]

Good fun last night, thanks everyone. Bad luck SS.. gunna happen to us all at least once probably.
Re: mention of tyre grade penalty for Nicko. I don't think we should jump down that road just yet. He's obviously quicker than the rest of us, but it's more the Gallardo I think in this case. I support this with the fact that, in the same car, Matt and I were close on times last year, and Matt was also 40 odd seconds ahead of me last night at the end (and gave Nicko a challenge, which was good to see). This shows that the Gallardo was just better suited, which it probably will be again at Madrid where its 4WD will help pull out of all those tight corners. Well done guys, cos I couldn't really make the Gallardo work for me in practise a few weeks ago.
So be it, I reckon.
I could have been closer to the front if it wasn't for my sticky brake pedal (only in first 5 laps or so), plus the F'ING penalties (of which I had no less than 6 or 7, most for no obvious reason). So, well done Nicko and Matt.
