im in on this..

i only have the jag tho. lol

 

[chrisr1984]

are we going to have day/night cycles? i cant remember if the 2005 layout allows it, no problem if not

 

[Jawehawk]

Of course it's going to be day-evening-night. Much more intense that way.

 

[chrisr1984]

cool

im going on now for a couple of practise laps if you fancy joining me.

 

[Jawehawk]

cool

im going on now for a couple of practise laps if you fancy joining me.

Sure

 

[Furinkazen]

I did one for these the other week, 24 laps, was brilliant, won it on final lap

I reserve a Ford Mk IV, watching this with interest.

 

[Jamie-C]

I'm in, I want tot est the cars before I make a decision on which. But I'm in for sure

 

[chrisr1984]

jag for me, i have nothing else

 

[chrisr1984]

i dont believe it, i was doing the indy 300 race to win the jag and i was 1h45m through and my mates turned up to go for a curry, i paused it and went out.. came back everything off mother thought it needed turning off..

grr.

 

[Jamie-C]

Unlucky Chris , you could borrow glitch mine if you can be arsed with that?

 

[chrisr1984]

anyone fancy a practise tonight?

 

[Jawehawk]

I'm too tired to have any practice sessions until the weekend. On another note. We have to have at least 8 participants for the event to be worth a damn. So sign up people! I dare you.

 

[chrisr1984]

hopefully me jame and yourself are a deffinate..

im working on another 1 possibly 2 and im sure someone else would be up for it.

biggest problem is the cars tbh. takes 2 hours to get 1 car lol

 

[chrisr1984]

had a go last night and in the rain (100% surface water) it was litteraly like driving on ice, lol in the dry i can manage consistant 3'56's in the wet i was over 40 seconds slower! lol

 

[John Wells]

Im up for it andy. Should be good, hopefully with no problems. Let me know if people would like to practice.

 

[chrisr1984]

I can probably do some practising tomorrow if your about.

 

[Jawehawk]

I will open practice sessions tommorow.

 

[Jamie-C]

I'm game for some practice sessions today, haven't done any yet.

 

[John Wells]

Good see you all later, what time?

 

[Jawehawk]

I'll open a room now. And if need be, I can open a room later tonight too.

 

[John Wells]

Can make it later on tonight.

 

[Jawehawk]

A small update to the rules.

Participants are allowed to change the gear ratios and top speed of their cars. However, you may not alter the suspension.

 

[John Wells]

So you have to race them with the stock setting without any changes?

 

[Jawehawk]

So you have to race them with the stock setting without any changes?

Exactly. Gotta keep that classic feeling

Lets postpone the next practice session for tommorow. Will open room at 13.00GMT tommorow.

 

[chrisr1984]

I'll be there, not a fan of tuning the transmission tho.

 

[John Wells]

Can n't make 13.00GMT but can practice later.

 

[Jawehawk]

I'll be there, not a fan of tuning the transmission tho.

So should we keep everything stock? I just figured that everyone wanted to get the most speed out of their car as possible.

 

[John Wells]

Are we allow more turbos my jag has them?

 

[chrisr1984]

Imo tuning being prohibited is perfect because you dont have the possibility of somone being dishonest and changing something they shouldnt.

It's your call tho, its just my opinion.
