Elegance Automotive Guild - Remembering TurnLeft.

@Thorin Cain , @RMan72 , @Brewguy44 , I've added your trophies to the room for your exploits at not driving properly and sliding around like mad men around a track :D with a car that never asked for that :rolleyes:. 👍:bowdown:
( hadn't noticed before but doesn't putting these 2 smileys in this order make you think of some kind of S&M medical exam >>> " 👍 :bowdown: " )

I've also added @RMan72 trophy for the Intermediate Race on CS, thanks, I needed that push to make me go do it 👍, very close finish :crazy:.

EAG - Mercedes 300SL '54 Trophy Room

Ah yes, I wasn't forgetting Mr. Spin-o-rama @Woodski_427 , you had already earned a trophy for this, but that was a healthy load of points you gained there :bowdown:, thought it might be worthwhile to commemorate :mischievous: this with a special reward, the first EAG Spin-O-Rama Trophy, I'll put a copy here but it has also been added to the trophy room 👍.

Are you guys using the CM or CH?

I got 4033 with medium and 4375 with hard tyres.:dopey:
:rolleyes: I knew I should have kept my big mouth shut :banghead: :lol: I believe I went with CH.

Well done on those scores 👍
Great Score by the way. 👍

But not good enough, I got 3,825 and that's just a little bit behind @RMan72 👍
Nice one BG :) and @RMan72

Ooh, excellent. 👍 :bowdown: Hey, you're right...it does look like that :P
 
Got gold with the 300SL in the new Expert Level race at Big Willow. Ran SS but will revisit with CS later. She handled really well back end still stepped out if pushed to hard
Just went to try it with SH, finished at 3.5s form first, went with SS, in first on the last lap and a blue viper just came in an sent me off the road :mad:, finished 2nd. Redid the race and exact same scenario :grumpy:, quit to go cool off and won in front of a more civilized corvette. On CS it will be a very big challenge, if you catch up to the leader he will then start accelerating and you'll need to block him off, and they don't seem to be affected by bumping into your car :eek:. Best of luck if you do this 👍.

Well I'm touched... (hopefully not in this way 👍:bowdown: :eek:) ...a special trophy, cool :lol:.

There's another 500 points on the hard tyres I reckon. It's difficult to string it all together with the lack of power.

Thanks for the morning laugh before I head out to work, great phrase 👍. I'm still finding it amusing that we're getting decent results with a car that is tuned to be close to IRL, I would have never thought of trying these if it weren't for the people here doing it, and I'm happy that you liked the trophy :lol:, you know in the case of a power failure it can be useful :D.

Comfort Softs 2nd by less than a second, I will be back, made one or two little errors
 
I just did the 500 Expert Race and Won!!! On SS tires.
300SL 500PP Race.jpg


The same thing happen to me but not this race, I was on the last big curve about to get around the first place Vette, it's the last lap and I'm almost in front of him on his left side and what does he do he taps the back of my car and spins me out, I was like 🤬 :mad: 🤬 :mad: 🤬 SOB!!! :grumpy: I try it again and the SOB does it again 🤬 🤬 :mad: and I'm like WTF is that!!!

So I go get a beer and cool down, come back and I Won, but it wasn't easy keeping that Viper from passing me before the finish line. I did a little blocking.

That car handles great and on the first small curve that goes around, I'm able to keep it in 3rd and pass cars on the left side or the outside I guess.

👍:bowdown:, great buddy, I feel for you for being knocked out, happened a few times in a row with a Viper before I quit and came back, we should take note on who was the driver, some of them are quite passif while others think they own the road. :cheers:

Not the most impressive field but
.............???.............< That was my reaction as I opened my computer, wasn't sure I was reading it right (short night sleep), so I just left and went about my other business and said to myself I'll come back to it when my eyes can focus properly. Well like you said the competition was not necessarily the highest you've had here but you were on CS with a car at 426PP, people on the Seasonal thread are going about saying "I did it with a 450PP / SS car", man what you did is what making things as challenging as you can, and that's what makes this accomplishment great. The car could be tuned to have better grip, no rear slip, and with a perfect transmission but that would be against the essence of what this is all about, using IRL parts, so it comes down to the "DRIVER", and you drove it as car & driver being one :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:.

I have a lot of respect for all of you who are taking these cars and getting the most you can possibly get from it, it has raised my own driving skills a couple of notches just from trying to match these performance and from racing on line with you all. You can take a rest now and get ready for saturday, that will be some competition if everyone shows up, just pray that @Brewguy44 & me are not 1st and 2nd on the starting grid, that will be the slowest 1st lap you will have done on the Nurb.

Now about the avatar, that didn't help me as I was waking up (asked myself who the hel- is that?), I guess that getting a little of my own medicine isn't harmful :lol:, :cheers:, I'll be updating a little later your trophy to CS.
 
:lol: 👍

This is not a problem, this is racing, not "hotlaping". :cool:

BTW, due to the high difficulty level of the track, everybody is expected to have patience and do not enforce an early overtaking, there is plenty of time to do that. :mischievous: :)

And the slower racers are NOT required to let the faster ones to overtake just because they are faster. One defending (blocking) maneuver is allowed. ;)

:cheers:
 
Whenever I played 2-player in the past, we always stuck to the racing line and it was up to the other guy to make the passing move by getting around the leader without contact.
Occasionally we'd have an 'all bets are off' race but that usually wasn't as much fun. Too many interpretations of what's classified as a 'fair' move & reviewing moves via the replay.
