By 2:00 AM GMT on Monday 10 May. That gives the State-side folk some extra time.

That way I can have the results up on the Tues when I open my PM box in the morning (bearing in mind I am +1 hr GMT)

What invalidated your time?

He wanted to swap cars after he had already sent me his first set of times. That is a no-no, but oxigen didnt do too badly as it is.

Good, that sounds reasonable.

Round 3 will be up by the latest, Friday.

 

[zoxxy]

Won't it be a bit hard for me to catch up the other contestants?
I haven't raced in the first round.
I'm just wondering if it's something I didn't catch (:™

 

[Mike Rotch]

You will be a round short in the points, but there will be plenty of time to make it up in the finals (there will be a greater differential in points for placings).

 

[zoxxy]

Alright (:™

By the way, who's in the lead this far (Don't tell the time)?

 

[Mike Rotch]

Not many times send in thusfar, but you are at the moment.

 

[Talentless]

Car suggestions, if allowed? I tried the '69 'Vette; terrible car.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Sure, you can discuss your car choice if you want.

I tried the Cobra 427. Doesnt like rapid changes in direction too much and understeers under braking. I wanna try the GTO next.

 

[Talentless]

I'm considering that xr7 something and the camaro.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Camaro might be underpowered at 432HP (i think).

Round 3 details are up​

 

[oxigen_gsr]

It's not about the car, it's about the driver. (okay, it's about the car)

can we consider for future events strictly one car racing?, might be good for consistency, such is the advantage given to those who know about certain special cars that offer a huge advantage.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Well, I will certainly consider one car racing for some of the future rounds.

The point of being able to select a car (and that is why I gave pupiks site) is that a truely great driver has three qualities:

1) Ability to tune
2) Good driving
3) Knows what is a good car.

But future rounds are likely to be a Car X v Car Y format, with the particpant being able to select either X or Y. I will make the cars pretty evenly matched

 

[Talentless]

Can we post t times? I switched to the sticks. Works much better.

 

[zoxxy]

I drove with the Shelby 350(something) because it didn't
weigh that much (~1050kg!)

 

[300fan]

All I have to say is this: "I hate muscle cars". Plain and simple They can be quite frustrating.

 

[oxigen_gsr]

I just hate that damn track. up hill, in air, spinning sideways, whoop, there's a wall.

 

[Talentless]

I know, the brakes are so pitiful, and you have little time to slow and turn. I still haven't gotten a clean lap.

 

[oxigen_gsr]

we demand to see the results!
