Hey wayn, thats the exact same colour as my ISF, were we partners in that series? i completely forgot

 

[waynz]

YESH!!! We where, I was just too lazy to change the paint.

I should note that I won't be giving myself a prize car. So if I finish on the podium 4th place will get the Cr.250,000 car.

 

[GTevan1080]

[jasr73]

You bewdy! Sign me up if there's a spot Wayn 👍

I'll try and hold rooms up to the event. If not feel free to test among yourselfs..

You bewdy! Sign me up if there's a spot Wayn 👍

There's oodles of spots left :-)

 

[SEIDO463]

Sounds great Waynz, I would like to be in this one but I will have to get back to you if I can attend so don't hold a spot for me.

I see you're on the list there Spinner! how did you like the Le Sarthe Enduro last Sunday?

 

[FrontalSystem]

I'm in (If allowed lol) PSN ID: GTP_DHolland

I enjoyed it Seido. Had a tyre strategy that may have netted a mid field finish but I found a wall and some engine damage on the first new set of cold tyres lap 7. Start of the back straight too , it was a looooong way back to an unplanned pitstop. That's racing I guess

 

[waynz]

@SEIDO , sure buddy I'll hold a spot for you. Just don't forget to run your ISF in before the race lol. (Just give it to your B-Spec drivers on a enduro should do the trick).

@Dan ... I'll have to ask the others. Sadly the majority are from the AUS/NZ series, so there might be issues given your 'history'...

 

[waynz]

Race has been pushed back 1 hour..
Room will now open at 7:45, qualifying 7:50 - 8:20 .. a little break for nervous wee's, final setup or drink refills ...
Then a 8:30 start.

 

[jol_1]

Watch out for huntsman's in the doors... Sneaky buggers..

 

[rumblina]

Damn spiders!

Bugger, I'll add you on PSN and give you a heads up if one doesn't fall on Sunday night 👍

Because this is sort of a 'Bi-Product' of the AUZ/NZ series, the original people involved have not forgotten nor forgiven what you did to them and their series. This I'm afraid you won't be participating in any of our races until you can prove to us that you can race the entire duration without quitting when loosing or ruining other peoples races.

Thanks mate

[Rotamasta7]

Qualifying in less that an hour, if someone doesn't have me on their friends list better get it done fast

 

[jasr73]

Indeed Rota, the count down is on.

Race proceedings kick off in T-minus 30 minutes girls and boys.

Sign up now for our Sunday spectacular!

Don't miss your chance to race with some of the best from Australia!

...and get disconnected like a boss...

I thought turning my mic off would help a little, and thought I'd be OK with only 8 in the room and someone else hosting.

wah that sucks. My worst D/C was on the last lap of an enduro at Spa after nearly 2 hrs in the rain lol

That's *smash your TV while cursing at your dog* type of rage.

Next race will be posted soon. I will give more than 6 days notice... Different time and stuff..

I was in 1st too! lol

I also have a enduro coming up soon too. Hope you can make it.

 

[GTevan1080]

Thanks Rota and Waynz for organizing last nights race.

Tough break waynz, getting DC'd from your own series ( damn interweb )

Sorry for my **** driving, after countless off track adventures and about 15 short cut penalties thought it best to park and go watch Graham Norton on TV.

Mind you once the track dried out ( wasn't expecting rain) the car was good, but man in the wet, what a handful. Well done stig and Jol, and well done Rota you were cracking at the start while I was struggling at the rear ( opposite lock to opposite lock)

Next enduro I'll do some wet weather testing

[Rotamasta7]

Yeh i enjoyed last night, me and wayn.. (or stiggy?) were talking about maybe making it the last sunday of each month, so everyone knows when its on and is not sprung with 3 days to sort out a car, setup and time around other stuff for a 2 hour race. So we might soon start a proper thread dedicated to that last sunday of each month, and continue the enduro's around some of the longer tracks in the game.

Good race guys , kind of wished it started to rain again near the end of the race , would have made it interesting I reckon. Things I learned from this event: Taking a gamble on tyres can sometimes pay off. I only swapped to full wets at the last second as I saw the pi$$ing rain increase the track wetness to 54%. I assumed it was gonna get a lot worse before it got better. Wrong ! Also , when your pit crew suggest a small top up of fuel on your last stop , just go with it. Otherwise you will have to drop in for a splash so as to complete THE LAST LAP ! Haha.
Here's a few shots from the first two laps.

Bit of a circus at the back of the pack. All of us on wets and pushing the limits of grip.
