Electric @ Toscana Tarmac - **Congrats to Audiman2011** !

[AudiMan2011]

It's all really down to how I "click" with the tracks in question due to my extensive street racing experience.

If the tracks have a good "flow" to them, I can develop a rhythm rather quickly to dial myself in with the car's dynamic abilities on those particular tracks. I tend to do less well on custom tracks that have a disturbed "flow" or have corner camber at "Overkill 9000" as they tend to break my rhythm due to the severity of flow changes.

@ Audiman2011: I will endeavour to try to design more Toscana Tarmac tracks with "disrupted flow" to provide you with more challenge.

I love this one. "S800, we have a lift-off!". Giant bump, hanging to the outside...

 

[watermelon punch]

We have lift-off!

It was a giant bump in the s800.

I remember that day very well. It was over a year ago.
It was me, cc570, RDAardvark, & jackargent.
(I was in the car painted Galaxy White Pearl. )

I happened to be in the lead when discovering the bump. And I remember the other guys commenting on how funny it was when they saw the cars ahead of them go over it, but it was too late to do anything about it based on seeing me go hurling over the jump. So basically all 4 of us hurled over the giant bump. I remember we liked this one so much we did at least 3 races on it.


APPEND:

Also I should say the reason I'm posting lap times on the tracks... or planning to try to get some of them up there (see the bottom of the OP) - was merely to try & give people an idea of the differences between the cars. That's all.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Can't come to either time, sorry.

 

[jackargent]

i'll need to pull out of this - too much on this week! vintage mixer & alfa zabaglione will be enough for me. Sorry chaps... have fun

 

[watermelon punch]

Sorry jackargent!
It was probably too much for even me.
But since this event has a bunch of people involved, and Thursday was hard for a lot of people to do, we're rescheduling the TZ2 race.

I will LIKELY be in the lounge early for warm-up today before the event... as we're expecting rain to arrive sometime this afternoon.
And I'm planning NOT to overdo it in the garden like I did yesterday.

Also, we're now beginning testing for a future series to start after the Vintage Sports Mixer... in May.
So if you want to get involved in testing & planning for those...

Road Classics Mixer:

Commuter Traffic Mixer:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=4671
(We'll probably do both at some point, but whichever gets the most testing done with a viable line-up will probably be scheduled first.)

racers gathering in the lounge now 👍
Qualifying to begin on the hour!

Highlight of the evening came 3 seconds before lounge closed. "Chairmode activate" STREET KING LIKES PEWDIE!!!

 

[Coreyb]

LOL M8, your right. Those cars definitely were not the highlight. No more electrics for me.

I do watch videos from PewDiePie and see myself as a "Bro", but I've also been watching more videos from Markiplier as well.

I don't see any problem with liking both.

I've raced using the CRZ in both stock and TC form. That cars cool. The Lawnmower sucked bad though. Everyone says the cars sound like hoovers, well the insight was more an electric Lawnmower.

The Prius and Insight were both terrible. I would never race those cars again.

 

[Coreyb]

I agree with both of you. Sounded like a bunch of pissed off lawnmowers. I made myself a note to not drive those cars again. lol.

 

[watermelon punch]

I'm trying to figure out what kind of sissy lawn mowers you guys have.

Electric cars sound nothing like ours.
