****Old Muscle Car Madness Championship****

[Jeje6410]

@Jeje6410, why don't you join us? It's gonna be a lot of fun with the second race reverse grid

Hi my friend @reefer
Thank you very much my friend for your proposal to make me participate in this championship is very interesting . But unfortunately I can not participate because the work I have resumed this week does not allow me to be available on the days and dates that you set . One the other hand if one day allows me to be available for a race I would participate with pleasure. What you do for online racing is very great and frankly when the work season ends it will be with great pleasure that I participate .

Thanks again my friend @reefer

Best regards
Take care

 

[FPV MIC]

Best of luck to everyone in race one of the series, unfortunately I won't be able to join you all just yet due to injury but I hope I can make it in the near future (if all goes well).

The Mrs has just announced we're going to Jersey this weekend. Plus side is she's paying. Bit raging as there's a weekend in August I'll struggle to make, so that'll be two sets of nil points. I go well at Silverstone too.

Never mind. Look forward to watching the replay video. Have fun guys

 

[reefer]

IMPORTANT: First race has been postponed for 1 week, until Saturday, 16th July. It makes sense to put it back a week as more drivers are available on the 16th:tup:

 

[buybon355]

Woohoo!!! Good call Joe. Makes sense to have a bigger grid if possible.

It's a week this Saturday Colin. You are OK bud.

Just went farther down the page, and saw Joe had responded. Good stuff.

Been in Jersey 12 hours and I'm bright red. Typical scotsman didn't bring any sun cream but did bring a jacket. Old habits die hard.

It's like being in Spain here honestly. Who'd have thunk it.

Can't wait for next week, might even practice in between

Sounds like you go from peely-wally to bright red with nothing in between.
My wife's good at that too...she comes from Galashiels!

Have a great time.

Because he's an alien

 

[GhostRider65]

Hi @Bjoern and @reefer !! Sorry and all racers !! !!

@Bjoern !! I'm ambidextrous but what is the most annoying, it is well to hold the DS3 !! Not clear whether if a setting correct or if there needs to be more work !!

@reefer !! I'm disappointed , because it is proven and recognized , i'm not an alien , i tried with the feet and i destroyed my DS3 , just kidding !!

Take care of you !!

Best regards and GOOOODDD RACES to all 👍 !!

It seems at the moment that I might make it to this week race at Silverstone.
Are races held in club, in public rooms or in your account Joe? Should I sent FR to you?

Jammy, when you're not too tired (as it's late in Finland when we race), come along. I'd love to see you and @FPV MIC on the track at the same time but I don't think FPV MIC is 100% ready to race yet. We'll see, he might surprise us

Are races held in club, in public rooms or in your account Joe? Should I sent FR to you?

The races will be held in the Club but the room will be set to public. I'm led to believe this setting provides a more stable connection. No need to do anything, just come along before 11pm UK.

Edited 16 July: Races will be held in the Club Room for members only on the advice of sick Cylinder and blue:tup:

 

[jammy21]

It's just that I'll have plan to run two different series races that night - yours 1AM and then 4AM other
I might fall asleep middle of race

Jammy, when you're not too tired (as it's late in Finland when we race), come along...

 

[CrazyJohn]

1AM for me as well but I never do all nighters.

Private club lobbies have the advantage of not having randoms burst into the room at random though causing lag spikes and disconnections

That's my concern too. It was Sick's recommendation for our Classic Car Championship last year to run in the public lobby; I'm just waiting on him getting back to me. Yep, it's a big distraction when people are coming in and out whilst racing.

 

[reefer]

Update: Re @bloodyboyblue and @Sick Cylinder advice, we'll be running the races in the Club Room as member-only races:tup:

Qualifying starts at 11pm UK tonight and will last for 6 minutes. Good luck all and see you then.

 

[CrazyJohn]

RACE DAYYYYYYYY

 

[reefer]

RACE DAYYYYYYYY

Have you been practicing John? What kinda times are you getting?

 

[CrazyJohn]

I had no time the whole week LOL, will try to set times now. @reefer

 

[buybon355]

Had a few laps practice yesterday, best I could do was a late 2.11. Nearly two seconds down on your video. This was in free run mode from the garage. The Mrs starts work in a couple of hours so I'll have another go. Must need to tweak my setup as my times were pretty consistent.

Only thing I had done so far is a 13,8... Silverstone is my worst track

Edit: 12,4. Can improve but the track is being a 🤬 to me.

 

[CrazyJohn]

I did a 2:12,2 now, yay?

 

[buybon355]

Yay. I'm sure you'll have fun regardless of lap times. We're a good bunch of very fair and clean racers who always give racing room and avoid contact wherever possible. Do this and you'll have a blast, and there's usually someone to race at your pace.

 

[JockeP22]

Qualifying starts at 11pm U.K. tonight.

4½ hours to go, see you then.
