You need to get your priorities sorted out Chris
I think he has
That's like cheating.
Well, that small crash in the first half of the first lap, helped me improve my position. Had a nice battle with Awesome and DeadlyDC, for a while. Once I got around them, and was able to pull away. I was able to catch up to GSLooney, but I think my car might have understeered a little at the apex of a turn. We connected just enough, where it sent my car into a slide.
Which then sent me battling with Awesome and Deadly again. Was able to pull away again, and was starting to catch GSLooney again, but ran out of laps.
Yes I had almost conceded that I'd loose the position to you at that point.. then we clipped.. it was the lightest of touches, but you went off and I continued. This was the first race that I didn't get myself punted to the rear of the race after 2 laps..
I'll stick some pictures up later once I've watched the action from the replay.
try as I might I couldn't catch him..
Silent passes on the outside as the coffee shop was closed.
Lesson for me for the Race was:
Aero slows you down.. and is no substitute for mechanical grip
too much aero and you cook the tyres.. which is what happened to me..
I was continually watching those tyre temps. I could push for a few laps then I had to sit tight and be smooth (well as smooth as I can be =
)and let the front tyres recover.. Otherwise it was a hot lapping exercise!
I think this weeks racing was brought to you all by the word..tuning
I thought the warm up races were very close and great fun..
If you see me online.. feel free to invite me for a race..
Cheers folks

This was my first online race with you guys...And I have to say the whole time my heart was racing...palms sweating..made stupid mistakes with pressure from behind. What sums it up is that I have raced countless races online but never had that kind of pressure running 9th place like that...It was a total different experience...I havent felt like that since my bike racing days....Good times guys....

All righty then! Here we go, the beginning of the race:
We all seem to make the first corner with no real drama!
m7ammed84 has a bit of a contact with Chris:
Guys running a bit wide:
Which eventually results in this:
But the race goes on, this is how it looks after lap 1:
Then a bit of a hassle on lap 5:
"You're going the wrong way man!!"
There seemed to be a pretty good race going on for the 8/9th place!
I had a pretty good lead going on at lap 8:
This is where I stopped watching the replay..
Post pictures if there were more good moments later on in the race!!
I also seemed to be the only one running without aero upgrades. Fezz's car was packing quite a lot of power but the wings probably slowed it down that little bit that I was able to pull away bit by bit when I kept NOT doing mistakes...
edit: oh looking at the pictures, Jimbo didn't have the wings on either!

I really struggled with this car, I actually thought we were running A Class so I was hot lapping earlier and actually really enjoying the car, then Avvsome invited me into his lobby and it was set at B Class so I quickly checked the forum and proceeded to poo myself 30 mins from the start of the race, I tried a few setups, 2 without Aero and 1 with, and none of them suited me, but I decided to take the safer option and stick with a winged car for stability, so ended up struggling the whole race and not enjoying myself, the M3 race last week was much more fun

Sorry guys, I had to bail, fortunately it was right when the first wipe out occurred and I was more than happy to give up last place to the one who earned it.
BTW I did have aero on the rear but it must have fallen off when A Man Hamster felt threatened by my insane amount of speed............LOL, J/k I didn't have any aero.

Question for the club. Do any of you like racing any R3, R2 or R1 cars? I used to be turned off by these due to my difficulty with throttle control but I recently purchased the #8 Audi ABT TT-R and now I am ashamed at what I was missing out on. This car handles like a dream, I did upgrade it to a R1 but I am just amazed at this cars ability. Any other cars I should try that are in this ''handling'' category?

I don't have much experience with them, so I'm not that great with them. I would need to spend some time with them.

Loved the race was running 7th until I was involved in an incident should of notified the person I'm passing that I was coming on the inside. Was gaining in the end but the car in front of me was floating in the air which made it difficult to judge where he actually was. Great first online race experience
Had to try and connect around six times always keeps saying that there is an issue with the host. Has no issues connecting when were doing the first test races before Chris invited us.
So what is the next quail/race?
Yeah It took really long to get into thats for sure.And of course I didnt try to knock ya, but good communication is a key to clean races, unless your Forcone who just happens to be winning the entire time
But good job anyhow. Glad it was fun for ya.
Yeah that's what I thought!
The 787B duh!
Or the Furai. But i may be biased....

Well if you ever jump into a public lobby with a bunch of assholes that dont tell you what they are doing, you will apprieciate courtesy....BUT just because someone tells you they are on the inside doesnt mean you need to stop racing

BTW you were there floating car that I was talking about earlier lol. Was catching up with you guys and passed who i think was DeadGuy and then when I reached you I couldn't pass you as I didn't know where to go, I do think I touched you from the rear cause I heard a sound. Wanted to get a shot of it but couldn't lol

I think the times I've raced an "R-rated" -car in FM4 can be counted with the fingers of a single hand. Somehow they just seem to put me off. They would probably be a lot of fun if I gave them a chance but I just seem to prefer E-B classes. I just love a slow car on a twisty technical track, that's my "cup of tea"
Maybe we could at some point do a 3-4 race "mini-series" with R-cars (say R3 or R2) on proper race tracks to see if they're any fun. We could do the qualifying runs before the race with the "hotlapping" race mode or whatever it is called (you can't collide and race for the best lap time). Say 10-15 mins of that and then the race. You'd qualify in the same car as you'd race in. Then we'd let the result of that hotlapping decide the starting order in the actual race. Wouldn't that be neat?
But let's finish of this Club Championship first, maybe we'll have that as an "off-season" passtime

Thanks for the pics Looney and Forcone 👍 I had to miss the race.. And Forcone, remember we did qualifying on that track long time ago with S class? We had tyre problems then too! Only track in the game I think that is giving me tyre problems..
I love it, especially R3 and R2. R1 is a bit overkill for me to handle with only a controler
Though I have to say, that R18 handles really well!
Great idea! And R2 class has two great cars, Audi A4 'DTM' and Merc C 'DTM', those two cars are just full of awesomeness and are pretty even too!

@Forcone and Carlos, good to hear you guys are interested. I, like Forcone also prefer the lower classes but once I drove that #8 Audi, I fell in love.
As for a mini series with R3 or R2, I would totally be down for that. After thinking about this, the chances of us crashing with these power horses is inevitable but taking your (Forcone) idea of hotlapping, I was looking at the settings in the Game Setup and we can set up the race with-
*Per-Car Roll Off Delay- This can be set from 1-60 seconds.
*Compare Best Lap Scores
We can also, assuming qualification would be in the same lobby, set the settings to Grid ordering by Heat points.
Basically we would be racing hotlaps while being in the same lobby versus by ourselves, so depending on how you guys feel about that. I understand it is hard to coordinate the races already but it could be fun in those particular class cars.
Anyway, we can figure out the details after this season.

Yeah, I spoke with Chris about a possible multi-class race in the future and once the season is over, we can come up with some other race events for the club.
*I can only imagine me in a multi class race, I get lapped when we all have the same class......................I suck!
If we did multi class I think R1 and R3 would be fun.
