MONACO MINI MADNESS II.

Brummmm Brummmmm!

Just a heads up fellas. This latest update has made online more like offline, and in my limited driving so far, FF's understeer even more than they did before. I had tuned a Civic RM on SS tires for a 30 lapper last Saturday and it was really sweet. A little drift entering the corners but you could bring it right back with a little throttle.

Took it out after the update to see if it was different and it was complete rubbish. It was as if I hadn't tuned it to begin with and it plowed like a bulldozer. Okay maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration but it definitely pushed everywhere in the corner, from entry to exit. Even going to the extreme ride height difference of +45/-20 didn't bring it back to where it was on Saturday.

So I susect the Mini's are going to need some adjustment from the last time around.

 

[OmniusGT]

In some way, I'm pleased!

All my tunes are done offline, so this should bring a bit more parity to the racing 👍

Thanks for that Johny, will have a practice next week to see how the Mini goes at Autumn Ring Mini. Hopefully you can make the race, as you are the reigning Mini Madness Champion.

Just had a quick spin in the mini. I had to blow the dust off since its been in the garage since the last race. May need to do a few tweaks for Autumn ring mini. Time set was a 44.345. Will have another try over the weekend, and post times for reverse aswell. Dont forget, the races are a week this Saturday. Only 5 grid places left.

Ooh this looks fun! Any room left for one more?

I just realized something: it won't be winter for another month. Shouldn't it be called the Autumn Special instead?

Yeah. Thats what I had in mind, hence the track. Autumn ring mini. I will change the title.

 

[GTP_ADE]

Only 4 days till Autumn Ring Mini Madness. Best time so far is a 44.039. Cant seem to get into the 43's. If everyone is around this pace, its going to be boisterous, but a lot of fun. There are still 4 places left on the grid, and 4 days to fill it. Come on, sign up. Classic Mini Cooper racing Rocks.

Hi Ade I would have been up for this now that I'm settled in Norway!

Thats a fast time Geordie. I will try and get a few more laps in before the race, and I do need to practice the reverse course.

Still a few places left for tonights Mini Madness final event. Sign up here.

 

[jammyrex]

Hi guys, I know I've left it a bit late but I've come to buy a classic mini and found its not available to buy new, so could anyone point me in the right direction about winning a race series or whatever, or be able to supply me with one? Any help greatly appreciated!

***EDIT *** OK please ignore this post as I have since found a classic Mini tucked away in my own garage!!!

 

[GTP_ADE]

Not long to go until Autumn Ring Mini Madness. Still spaces left on tonights grid. This race is only for fun, no points, no prizes. But please remember to keep it clean gents. Autumn ring Mini is short and tight with few places to pass. Heres a reminder of previous Madness racing. Picture by Watermelonpunch.

Video, sorry for the grainy quality

I'm very sorry, but I need to drop out of the race today. I have an ongoing shoulder injury and it has been flaring up ever since I woke up today, so I don't want to join the race and find that I need to drop out of it. I'll save my Mini for what will hopefully be a Winter Classic (Eiger Short Track?) in the near future! Have fun!

[GTP_ADE]

Well, bit of a low show, but still 8 in the race. Dowlin won both races with a healthy lead. Mini Madness is now well and truly done. Park your minis up gents. My focus will now be on The Sunday Cup. Many thanks to all racers who have taken part.
