That helped, thanks

Not my evening today, ah well better luck next time.

Thanks to everyone who came out Saturday. Still a fairly small crowd but we had fun. I'm going to try to get the next combo selected tonight, I'm thinking we're due for some flavor of E30 action.

The first race was very exciting with many position changes and some close, intense battles. I couldn't seem to make a pass stick and I think I eventually finished last. The second race I had another close battle with What and we were neck and neck for several laps with a couple of position changes. Unfortunately What had a little spin towards the end but it was great fun. Great little car and definitely not easy to drive on the edge. Makes for some great driving and racing with ABS and TC turned off. Fun to see the other cars lock up and smoke the tires a bit under braking

Tried the Riverside track a couple of weeks ago and loved it in the GT40 and the Cobra. Should be great fun

I'm going to try to get a little video captured of our multi-car battle in the first race, that was truly some great stuff (up until we ran out of braking talent ) I think the Beemer at Riverside will be fun too, lots of fast sections to get a slipstream going.

Anyone has set a reference time already? Might work on this combo this evening.

 

[BrandonW77]

In my handful of testing laps I think I was in the low 1:40's but I wasn't trying all that hard.

 

[AlvaroF]

1:38 with normal setups are easily attainable. I keep screwing up that long left after the first right hairpin.

My best was 1:42

My best was 1:42

So was mine, but I had one spun on that corner, plus I know where to extract some extra time.

Ah ok so you didn't actually do a 1:38 yet but were speaking hypothetically. That gives me hope again

 

[AlvaroF]

Yes, I'm yet to do it, but I saw it on the delta, plus had that spun. I may try this further tonight.

 

[exXboxfan]

I may try to make it to my first of these races. Sounds fun and comes highly recommended from @Wiz

My best in room settings was a 1:39 something (IIRC)

 

[BrandonW77]

comes highly recommended from @Wiz

Pfffft.....if you can trust that guy.

We'd love to have ya X. 👍

 

[RFracer]

I did 1 39 135 but unfortunately I can not race with you because I have to go on business trip ...good luck all

 

[mister dog]

Darn 3 seconds by Saturday, I've got homework to do.. You guys didn't practice on a optimum track by any chance no?

 

[exXboxfan]

fast, clear 26deg. I will double check though. The "esse" section needs to be hit with some balls... I'll tell you that

Yes it does, I try to stay flat until just before the hairpin (with varying degrees of success).

Don't worry, I'll be back there to keep you company!

 

[AlvaroF]

So, I messed up about the car, but I tried the correct combo now and I managed to do a 1:39.515 with the stock set up. That first "S" and that left parabolic always get me. And there is 4 or 5 tenths I can just squeeze with the stock setup if I work really hard.

 

[mister dog]

Ok managed a 1:40 now

 

[exXboxfan]

I did a 1:38.092 earlier... woulda had a 37 but the family distracted me

 

[Wiz]

There's a chance I'll be able to make this one so I ran a few laps tonight, with a best of 1:36.525 Fast/98%

Attached is the tune I used.

 

[mister dog]

1:36...

Well back to the drawing board i guess. Slow people, please join!

 

[whatshisname]

should be there for this, fun track, managed 1:38.3

 

[BrandonW77]

1:36...

Well back to the drawing board i guess. Slow people, please join!

There should be a lot of drafting on this track, hopefully that will help drag us to the front.

 

[exXboxfan]

sorry, it turns out I cannot make it. family emergency

 

[BrandonW77]

Server is up, first race will start in 20 minutes.

 

[mister dog]

Won't be able to make it neither, came back from the beach too late. Sorry guys combo was great fun

 

[BrandonW77]

OP has been updated with the next event, sorry for the delay.

 

[mister dog]
