Looks a little quiet!

 

[BrandonW77]

It's still early. First support race is about to begin.

 

[MC-Chase]

Is @Naptown25rs with you ?

 

[BrandonW77]

I think he's here somewhere, or will be. Unless he got too drunk and has already been hauled off to the infield detention center.

The famous Yard of Bricks.

[hobbsy]

It was only a small turnout tonight, but from where I was I had a great two race long battle with my shadow!!!

Well done to @Litchi and @kHamcio for their respective race wins 👍... Looks like we have a new Alien amongst us

See you next time

 

[kHamcio]

Cool racing, great fights, ferrari = fun! See you next Sat, I hope I'll see more drivers!

We've had good crowds so far (besides today) and next week we're in the California which should draw a good crowd. 👍

Some more shots from today, really fun day and some good racing. Great crowd too.

Tried to take a pic of an Indy Car in the pits, girl got in the way

Unfortunately I missed most of the race because my view was obstructed by this

 

[Naptown25rs]

Had a great day at the track as well... Ended up with garage/pit passes so I was able to get a lot of good shots as well, I'll try to get some posted tomorrow.

I did finally track @BrandonW77 down during the car show...

 

[hobbsy]

Looked like a rather spectacular start to the race as well!

 

[Litchi]

I had some great racing yesterday, this 512 is really cool to drive. I made a graphic showing Hamcio and me about our lap times comparison.

Yeah, they're not used to doing standing starts and the cars aren't really built for it.

Nice to see you have someone to keep you company up there! Also nice to see that I probably would have been able to keep a reasonable pace with you two, I was in the mid-to-high :41's.

I saw a Ferrari California at a 7-11 today and I took it as a sign to get in some practice laps. I'll have a room up for around 45 minutes, longer if people show up. 1472 4711 0467 9861 7766

Think I just missed it Tor =/.

 

[MC-Chase]

That thing is a perfect example of why I think the most important aspect of a sports car is to not weigh much - the California goes like a family saloon with three times the usual power. I'm also fairly useless at Silverstone so over a quick 10 laps I managed a high 17, am far from consistent and am unlikely to have anymore time to practice before Tuesday, I'll be crawling at the back for this one!

On my way home from the track yesterday I saw a DB 9, some kind of crazy Lambo and a McLaren MP4dash12c. I about crashed when I saw the Macca because I couldn't take my eyes of it.

I also saw the new Z28 and 30+ C7's at the track.

And this sexy beast

 

[Torzilla]

Nice pics, I would've taken a couple shots of the Cali I saw today but there was a guy inside who looked like he may or may not have been in the mafia and I didn't want to get whacked on mothers day.

^ I shouldn't laugh though, that's probably a real concern in your neck of the woods.

 

[acedition333]

You did a good thing Torzilla, although, you really don't want to get wacked ANY DAY!!

"
Content Introduction
The “Ayrton Senna Tribute” is a 4-part special content that retraces the life of Senna through various photographs and videos. Players will have the chance to relive Senna’s career first-hands by driving the same cars and challenging the same events that shaped his legend, such as the #17 DAP Racing Kart he drove to fight in the World Karting Championships and the "Black Beauty" (Senna's Lotus 97T F1 car) on tracks like the Brands Hatch GP circuit and the Italian circuit of Monza, which have been given a complete makeover in order to restore their original layouts from the '80s."

👍 👍

Now that sounds pretty cool 👍. Alright let's have a poll. Who thinks they're gonna come out with this by the end of may?

I think it will be released in time but there will be so many bugs that it will be unplayable until they fix it sometime around early 2017.

 

[Drex124]

I thought they'd only put in the Lotus, so this is nice surprise
Just wish they'd stop acting like high school students and stick to their deadlines....

I wish I could laugh at that, I really do. But I'm a big fan of the older racing and older tracks so this excites me. Even if when they screw it up I'll still be rather pleased.

This is the likely layout for Monza. I'd really love to have the old version with the banking, but this should do nicely. I'm not sure what the old version of Brands is like but it too should be a great addition to have.
