Lotus Elise Club Cup - Saturday Racing - Race 2 Feb 18th - SIGN UP NOW

[FordMKIVJ5]

The new car takes some getting used to.

Lets just say it likes going sideways.


Has anyone got any times for Tokyo? My best so far with about 30mins practice yesterday was a 2'04'7xx but I reckon I can get at least another second out of there. The bump right in the braking zone for turn 1 is killing me.

 

[DaxCobra]

Arunda, you sure you're using Sports Softs? I haven't really had much oversteer in the car.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Arunda?

Yep definitely, it's just the high speed corners where if you're a bit too aggressive the back steps out- not too hard to correct but hurts your time quite considerably.

 

[DaxCobra]

Hmm.

Carbonox will be most displeased.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

It might just be me being dim though.

I think it's just because of the weight shift at the rear, you can feel the rear load up as you go around the turn and then break free- I'm probably going too fast through the turns.

Also, I officially hate Tokyo reverse, I might be a bit better at another track.

 

[DaxCobra]

Anyone up for a Mock Qualifying Session at about 3 ish?

Might even have a race.

 

[MiuraSV]

I'd be up for that Dax

 

[DaxCobra]

OK cool.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Maybe....

2:03.3 is my best time, could get a 2.02.9, the key is not to brake, just let the speed push you though the corners.

 

[Carbonox]

I haven't even bought the car yet

 

[DaxCobra]

Practise room up, mics on.

Thanks I'll work on it. 👍

 

[Carbonox]

Still got a room up?

 

[Matty]

Still got a room up?

Wanna open one?

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

What times did you guys get in practice?

I would've joined if I'd known.

 

[DaxCobra]

Times were like 2.03.xx but there is a bit to come.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I'm not too far off the pace then.

 

[DaxCobra]

Nope, should be a good race.

 

[neljack]

NEED MORE PPLZ!!!

Seriously, need some more people

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I reckon we'll need about 13/14 before we can start. So still at least 4 people to find.

[Matty]

We'd be better off just sticking to twelve and being certain of no DC's

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Yeah but it's almost certain that 1 or 2 people will be missing each week.

 

[Phouchg]

usually the last places fill up once you set a date but it always feel risky to do it without being sure ^^

 

[DaxCobra]

Might set a date for next Saturday.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

You mean a week on Saturday right? Not this Saturday.

It will hopefully draw in some more competitors, but I'd be happy racing with just the guys we've got as I know you are all clean racers.

 

[DaxCobra]

Okay. Race 1: 11th Feb

Looking forward to that 👍

Woop! Had better get some practice in this weekend.

Also I'll be well prepared for the second race because it's half term, which means I can go on the playstation everyday!
