thanks to all the drivers who took part at the one make f430 race today.
it was just awesome!
i have to quit now because i'm completly done.
i'm lookin foward to more races like that....with no punters and just fair and tough racing.
cu
 
soory doctorben and lemans, was my first race today with the clio. :scared:

i need a little bit more speed in the corners. :D
 
PrudentBear- the blue nissian that would be me sorry was tryin join with the f430 but kept missing you guys so decided have a go in that then there you were lol and i was terrible, sorry..
 
I will be joining at XX:00 keep an eye out for a black Clio loafing around in the sand :scared:
 
Sorry for the nudge Vaxen! Our cornering speed through there was dramatically different. Didn't find out until I bumped you. Good racing otherwise!
 
Wow, I just tried the GTLM for the first time tonight and its scarily fast in comparisson too the other cars out there. Its just brilliant now I can see why people dont like it, it feels like an unfair advantage because it handing is excellent.

I didn't feel a nudge, and I was going off regardless.

but yeah... good racing! 👍
 
@GTP_DarthDrift:

sorry for that accident in the last lap.
i was much faster through the tunnel and thought you had enough space :nervous:
 
appologies to all I raced against then, I had to stop my racing temorarily and when I rejoined a lap down, I shouldnt have done that RBE made me faster than everyone and subsequently I got in peoples way, I didnt really think that through sorry.

No worries, it was fun trying to stay in front. It was just a matter of time for you to get by 'cause I was slower.

Good to see all you guys out there. 👍 Now I just need to go faster so I can be more competitive!
 
Sorry Angelx..I got hit from behind by doctorben..took both of us out..

its cool, it was partially my fault as i am still getting used to the braking points and i braked very early which made things worse. Good racing though.

What kind of lap times are you doing with the mines? I feel like i am driving so slow compared to everyone else, 2'01 is my best lap in a race.
 
To GTP_zzAli sorry, I missed a gear coming out of the right hander before going under the bridge, you didn't have to hold up that was my fault.

ya'll having fun driving on STD physics?

It's wrongly named it is actually locked on Pro physics.


And just to prove my point i hotlapped my GTLM tune, normally most my cars get around 1:59 maybe a shade under (1:58.5 and a little below for my Viper), yesterday i had 4-5 laps with the GTLM and got 1:58.4 ish, this morning i tried again and adjusted my style and clocked a 1:55.784. How is this even remotely fair?

Bumped into alot of Japenese people with Corvette tuned I'll come later on in evening
 
Sorry to GTRP_Hugo, was a bad idea to overtake on 130R, I thought I had enough speed from my slipstream to sail past on the straight but I realised too late that I didnt have the pace and nudged you wide I tried to wait for you but then I put a wheel on the grass and went flying off the track myself. :dunce:
 
Well my last race got ruined fast by the eventual winner doctorben in the GTLM, brake checked me 3 times so i had no hope of getting near.

MR cars overall are just far to fast in this event, us front engine drivers have little hope once a break is made.
 
That brings up a good point - I had heard the GTLM requires early braking. When someone gets by you in one of those what are your options for getting by them again? They are clearly faster out of the corner and if they take the right line into it, how in the world are you ever going to get past them?
 
what a bad race. :lol: :lol:

i will stop for today. my breakpoti is broken. :yuck:
the good one, i have a new one here and i will change it tomorrow. :dopey:
 
Sorry RudiRaser if I accidentally ruined your race, at one corner I saw GTP_Stevisiov sliding in front of me so I had to brake but didn't have enough time to move out of the line and you hit me behind. Also to timeattack07gt as well in the Mine's, had to brake early when the GTR almost lost it in front of me!

Slipstreamm, the GTLM isn't slow but its not the fastest down the straight either if you get ahead good defensive driving is required, lets not forget the GTLM is tricky to control at the best of times the driver behind isnt going to try a risky overtake when you have put your car in the defensive line. Of course some oppenents will jus bash you instead but a clean GTLM driver can be kept at bay.
 
Well seeing as cars like my Viper (tuned version) CANNOT catch the GTLM even in its slipstream, that doesn't work either, I have to make insane overtaking moves to get around them, ie super late braking, or any small mistake using to get by. The only cars with the grunt to pass them don't have the cornering ability to beat them, and vice versa.
