@Thematic ,first congratulations for your win and second i can't see your vid since giving me no access to your page !!!
Can you fix that please ?

Here is my run


Not enough competitors this round ,hope Christmas holidays to bring back more action.
Also need to see 5th element's run ,so please take care of it .

As for the new round i choose something for no aids lovers and try to add some spice at no tune with a cheap car ,easy track and don't forget to bring an umbrella for the pit lane crew.
As for Devil's road avoid ZZ Tomy kaira on the field cause probably you won't even see him during the race.
The car is stable enough aids free and here is a training sample while testing it for the event


PS
Congratulations to all participants and hope the gang to be more full for this round.

Devil's Road

About 1.3 seconds per lap faster than my slowest full race.
I have a tendency to brake too late, or poorly, for the corner into the final tunnel.
The CIEN is entertaining, or irritating, depending on how it all turns out.

Great run both of you guys , Still waiting for 5th's element run.
Hugh ( perhaps due to limited time ) as i wrote seems like run this ONLY ONE time and that pisses me off even more ,cause i had to run this way more than him .
Of course am not Boogieman and somewhere in the future i have to accept the fact that what i do with lot of effort ,other guys do it sooooo F.... easy.
Great overtaking moves also from both of you guys , i was on safer mod while Hugh was a bit and at the green side.

By the way and since The Saint upload a pick from Devil's road ,ill put and mine from the designing days.
Although i don't think there's way more to " shave " from this cause i try it hard to see where am standing.

Here's my homework. Very slow, but I tried to keep things ultra-safe.

@skeagracing was very helpful with how to handle things, and answered ALL my Q's. Very educational term!
@smoothbore12 Sort yourself out, you look like a tomato stood next to an aubergine.
Greatly looking forward to all the new events - I'm hoping to enter all of them. Seeing as I have nothing else to do this Xmas - here we are basically all under house arrest.

Nice run mate , , it's seems like watching real race the way you did it ,at least more than ours .
You had more " natural" flow .
Hope to enjoy what i chose for this round .

Not sure this is the "line" here, but this is not from the run that counts.

So a four minute crunch at school. I used an only power tuned vehicle, similar to the Invitational Challenge (so 1300 kg, 405 bhp), except for adding sports soft tyres. After several races I considered adding a racing brake kit, but eventually managed a reasonable run without such spending. This car is front heavy! No wonder (if) it took me more effort than last round, while none of the final three laps came out especially good.
 
Devil's Road

I wanted to do some races with you guys so I fired up my PS after win on Monza and Goodwood. I felt hopeless first few minutes, specially because I dont know MidField Raceway at all. After some time I felt happy to drive on Gran Turismo again even tho I could moan how these SS tyres feel way to sticky but really had some fun. Was that fun that I even recorded my run regardless of some lines being stupid and awkward but still I was kind of proud that there wasn't even a scratch on my Viper. Good to be here again guys :)
Regarding the time I think probably 46 would be possible :)

Wow @nostradavor2 - you are nailing that - I haven't had a go yet, but I do not feel optimistic of getting anywhere near that!
Edit - Just realised that, for reasons I can't fathom, I don't think I know that track at all either!!

You just meet "Tinkerbell " 5th element .
It's a young guy ,good looking ,full of muscles but his brain still remains at " liquid " condition :lol:
He makes fun scaring his girlfriend ( s) the way he drive in real life and .... of topics .
But since you can't " charge " a little kid too much ,the same happens with him here.
We call him Tinkerbell to give him the motivation to grow up :lol: but we fail since he like it .

Going back to ours now , Saturday and yesterday i went for work to Athens and come back at 21.00 both times so probably ill start playing from today if my fashion manager agree :lol:
Need to take care the new Ruf and buy some pills for the flue at these cold mountains .
Happy anniversary guys ( for those who have one :lol: )

PS
This track was very popular in the past and its not a hard one , usually the way you brake before enter the tunnel and how soon you put the throttle to the floor make the " difference " .
Tinkerbell and Torreto ( Pady ) are close to Boogieman level ( some times faster ) so if you judge from them you will be disappointed before even start .
Tinkerbell also is very good at mathematics ( go figure now ) so when he says that a 46 ( or whatever) is possible .... it is.
We just pretend that we didn't hear it or read it :lol:

At least I had some (about an hour) practice for RBR. Here's what I found:
Shift on 9900 rpm?
A terse path aid:
Turn 1, brake at 90 m. 100 will just foul your lap as you come too far inside! Don't go wide either, there's no grip.
Fast left before the chicane, brake at 40 m.
Penultimate (last one with signs) corner, brake at 65 m.
The turning/turn-in is far from the usual fare, but I can't describe that in words.

The path, of course, being driving options off.
 
Dallas had a crack at the invitational tonight - Like me, he's not used to other cars, but his laptimes improved by 10s after about 2 hrs. It is my wish that he will be joining us properly in the future. I am doing my best to bring him into the flock!

Myself? My success on the last No-Tune TT was largely down to Dallas's scoping out the track and giving me verbal advice... I'm gonna do the same here!

@smoothbore12 .. You think us oldies can even try to make Tinkerbell grow up? Speaking personally, but probably not in isolation, I am an oldish bloke living my dreams through the childish medium of a computer game. Time itself will mature Tinkerbell. Addled by his physical deterioration, floundered by his failing reflexes and generally frustrated by his increasing mental confusion. But we all look at the screen with tinkerbells eye's (perhaps with spectacles) and drive with Tinkerbells heart.

WE ARE ALL TINKERBELL!!!!!!

(apart from The Boogieman - he's just a machine)

Oh, and my lawyers have advised me to hereby state that:

"Whatever you decide to wear for your next race will be considered by myself and any right thinking member of the public, in private or in any public forum, to be of the highest level of general and specific fashion and shall not be challenged, contested or questioned by myself and neither will I agree with any third party attesting to challenge, contest or question any entirety, or sub-component thereof of your chosen attire henceforth and forthwith in perpetuity."

Are we OK now?
Can you pls call your FM's legal team off???!!!

The GT1 is on sports tyres. And that drift car? Comfort.

I never look the tyres that AI use while i designing the event ,i was playing with rain percentage and weather change ( from 1-10 or 15 i don't remember the highest ).
I choose to put it at 1 cause the weather was changing sometimes to worst and some times to sunshine and by random way so it wasn't fair.
Just stick on RH tyres to add a small difficulty .
Did you change oil ?

Deffinetly you can shave 10 sec. from where you are by unlocking the Hamilton you hide inside you !!! ;)


@slybynight i have a contract with my FM so .........
Bring Dallas and we're ask Tinkerbell's magic dust for him
