I thought as much. ; )
Yeah, it will certainly be something out of the ordinary.
Hmm perhaps a matte pink Mini is the way to go for this
special event.
Was that in GT5 or GT6?
Why not old Mik's setup.
Alright then, I've had this particular weird fantasy since the Comfort Club days but it never
quite materialised.
Formula Gran Turismo
Comfort Softs
Full ballast (200kg)
50% on the power limiter (with oil change)
Driving aids: ABS only
Body rigidity, suspension, transmission and drivetrain settings
will be individual depending on driver preference.
I remember it was interesting to test the FGT this way
last year and it kind of felt like a Formula Renault or GP2 car.
A lot different than Senna's popular F3 car in the game at least.
I think I had full downforce and ride height but I'm sure some
won't need that.
Weird enough, Zo?

I think that'll be a good way to follow up the Lupo racing Jocke. I remember testing a similar thing with a chap in the GBRC a while ago. We ran round Autumn Ring Mini with it and it seemed ridiculously suited. Thee again, we're at AR with the Lupos, so that probably won't be good. Definitely needs a tight course I think though, or perhaps not. We could do Willow Springs, make it a two track meeting, big and little?
Wadyafink?
Cheers, Zo.

Sorry about the double post
but I don't know how to 'quote' in an edit, and I'd missed Jammy in my first.Pity it folded Jammy, how did the full damage thing work out for people? I'm a bit of a fan of full damage, but wouldn't us it on anything as our very informal meetings.
Any lessons we might benefit from (from an organisational point of view) from your experience with Rallycross?
Cheers, Zo.

Chaps, I was thinking about the pedigree that the good old Ford Escort has in Rallycross, and I took a spin in the Isuzu Bellet. I know that Fordistas will want to hang me for comparing the legend with something produced at the other side of the world, but the Bellet felt very good as an Escort substitute. Stripped down, with tall suspension and level 1 engine tune it's got 129BHP, weighs 845Kg and laps our Rallycross course in near identical times to the 108BHP Mini.
So, if you fancy bringing one along to mix it up a bit tonight feel free to do so.
Cheers, Zo.

I'm glad you enjoyed it fellas, I certainly did. So much so that yesterday I had a look at Big Willow. It's got gap in the fence at he side of the start/finish straight where you can drive onto the infield and race around some obstacles there. It's brilliant!
Just for the purposes of contrast I tried a stock Lupo, and an Aventador with stock power, but race suspension at max height, centre diff at 45/55 and all weight stripped out. I know it sounds extreme, but it was superb, honestly; really easy to control, and with reasonable grunt to fly across the rough stuff.
Watch this space!
Cheers, Zo.

@tooma - Try to avoid multiple posting it's frowned upon and you don't want to bring about...

Aventador! I suppose it does have 4wd. A Nissan GTR of some flavour might be quite good as well.

Oh heck Paul. Sorry for my breach of netiquette. Next time I'll try to scan ahead and plan my responses better - I don't want to strain any ones scrolling finger, which I admit, may impact on their driving skills at a later date, even possibly increasing stress levels, which just might make for even wackier racing on Tuesday nights.
Thanks for the practical info Paul - still learning my way around. As for "The Wrath of the Moderators", bring it on. I ain't scared of no bogey men. I was brought up on Irn Bru, and that stuff's made frae girders man.

Tuesday was one of the most entertaining and funniest races ever! Real good laugh.

20:30BST Lilum, which I think is the same as it is in Portugal, unlike the rest of the continent with their weird time zone things. The room is usually open about 20:00, but we wait until 20:30 before we start the racing.
I'll have a look at what PP levels them up Paul. (I can imagine us having a proper four week RallyX championship in the near future, given how much folks enjoyed it.)
Cheers, Zo.

Guys, I've confused myself with the time conversion. So after rechecking, I'll reach home around race start. If it was possible, I wouldn't mind Starting last, if you guys could wait a tiny bit for me to reach home on saturday. I'm normally home by **:34/43, depending on the metro.
Î'm really sorry for this

Lilium, if you're going to turn up on Saturday you'll be four days earlier than the rest of us, no problem about waiting. If that was a typo though, and you are meaning Tuesday, we don't mind waiting. The races will be quite short anyway, so even if one is under way when you arrive you won't have to wait long 👍
Cheers, Zo.
