Sorry guys, team was activated but then placed on standby because some idiot attorney left their briefcase unattended in the courthouse. Bombsquad used a water charge to detonate it. Lol.
Taxpayers money well spent.:rolleyes:

Another great night of racing guy's! I think most of us got to battle with someone during each race, and the car was a blast (I'm biased though as it's one of my fav's). And kudos to all for the rolling starts, they were much improved last night!

Congrats to @Zii1993 for a great run, he earns this weeks "Mr.Awesome" title and bragging rights! (for the second time). :cheers:

Excellent night of racing. Winning is fun, but tonight was all about battles for me. I couldn't have cared less about where I finished. Just too fun trading places and going through corners side by side. Fun, fun, fun!

That was some awesome racing last night Jeff, I can't count the number of times we were side by side and never touched! It really is great to have that trust with others and know that you can race beside each other like that, and know that if we have pushed a bit too hard, then back off, let the other guy have the corner and keep the battle going! :cheers:
 
@aerolite

I hope PC2 rolling starts are a little easier to manage. I remember several complaints about how the game gives sudden control which creates problems if a driver's car is still in the last turn.

Has anybody read anything about that?

Atleast somebody still has that trust ;)
Coming from me :sly:, I came through the last corner on the last race a bit faster than Robbie, hit into the back of him and took out half the world with it.
I think i got smcinnis with that too so I dropped back and eventually let him past too, then got in my towtruck and came to Eh Teams aid... what kind of n00b flips his car!

The kind that gets taken 3 wide into a braking zone and then moved over on.

I am noticing an improvement on the starts but last night shows there's still a long way to go.
 
Trust is doing 3 or 4 laps with a guy, wheel to wheel, overlapping tires, passing each other cleanly back and forth. GR8 and I had that in the last race, that's what you call s... your pants racing. A win means nothing to me, cause I very seldom win a race, but battles like that are what makes our Lounge the place to be on Mondays.
Colts, see, you shut up and you race better. I missed the low frequency drone that is usually there tho....love ya buddy.
I wish I had Gutters job....even if it means leaving the race. I would love to el-kabong some of those Antifa pukes upside the head, but to humiliate a stinkin lawyer is priceless.
Eh, Robbie and X-Rad, a pat on the back for rectifying the on track issue last night quickly. You guys have a long way to go to be BOBs yet. X-Rad isn't far tho.
Echo Steve and pat David on the back for his clean racing, (unlike someone who should know better) and most excellent starts, best......ever.
Yogi Lag.........new name?
 
I actually couldn't get past david at one point while trying to lap him, so I literally just kept bumping into him until he moved over. I was on the prowl for some mcinnis blood, and Eh Team was coming like a bat out of hell.

Oh so you're the culprit who bumped me off the track eh? Sonovagun.
 
No vote for the car this week guys.
Hint: we are getting down to only a few tracks we haven't raced at yet! We will not be repeating any tracks until we work our way through all that we can race on. (the tracks we raced on in special week 8, with the Lotus 49, don't count)

We will be racing the:

Mazda MX5 Radbul
Wastegate must be set to 0.00 bar
Restrictor must be set to 25.1mm

I wouldnt say i knocked you off the track, because you were right in the way for a good bit until i somehow found myself around.. pity you didnt do that to eh team coming up behind though, hes fair game!

So, is this another way of saying, you were driving the correct racing line and due to my lack of skill or speed or both, I could not pass you properly, so I rubbed you off the line and stole your place. ?:lol::lol:;)

I was lapping him, and had eh team coming for me, i had to be innovative
 
We have a police code for pulling that type of thing: 370455V. See if can you figure the code out. Lol. If not, let me know and I'll give you some clues. It's like calling someone an "Adam Henry" and that doesn't stand for "Aggressive & Hostile".

Got it! HA! I guess it pays that I don't always see things right way up!

Adam twelve to McGarrett, - we have an Adam Henry. Roger, that's right, I need to report a three seven zero four five five victor...over.

Thanks for the hint Shawn! As soon as I wrote it out.....ahaa!
 
I was sitting here dreaming about eating some apple fritter Timbits wondering how long it would take you guys to figure it out. You're some good detectives! We don't usually call it out over the radio, but mainly use it to rip on each other via our MDTs. Feel free to hit up Tim Hortons and send me a dozen!
 
Apple fritter timbits......mmmmmmmm. They have a caramel apple fritter now. The reg coffee at Timmies sucks, but the dark roast ain't bad in a pinch.
I like a fairly strong cup of Joe, but the Molasses Steve made at Mosport was just too much, you could drink it with a fork. Of course I am a wimpy cream and sugar guy and those guys drink it black, black as Toby's crack.

I sure hope you guys practiced the Radbull at Not Banochbrea, you are going to hate us after this week........... I wonder where it is???
 
Unfortunately I have to miss this Monday's fun. :( And NO, I AIN'T SCARED OF NO RADBULL!!!

I was kinda wondering about the whole SRM thing on Tuesday though. Is there any room for new drivers, or are the lobbies usually full?

S&M Tuesday? Nice. I knew I joined the right group. As long as there's no DP though...
 
Week 20 Lotus 51 @ Brands Hatch



R1 Start



R1 3 way battle with SGETI and Eh



R2 Start



Putting pressure on Zii for the lead.



2 laps later. Gutter shows us what to do when you're being lapped. Cheers Gutter.

Then in T1 I'm hit with that damn double downshift. I have no idea why it does this, I'm 100% positive I'm not hitting down gear twice, it'll just go down 2 gears with no warning. Its very frustrating :banghead: You can see me trying to save it and going back up to 3rd gear, but I've already lost control and end up in Gutters path. So for the rest of the race I'm on edge preparing for it to happen again.

R3 Start

The kind that gets taken 3 wide into a braking zone and then moved over on.

I am noticing an improvement on the starts but last night shows there's still a long way to go.

I also got caught up in that but luckily didnt flip it like you did. I agree we need to tone it down with some of the starts. Getting wrecked or ending up on your roof in T1 of a 30 min race is no bueno.

https://youtu.be/tuitUT5fvH8?t=1h59m54s

Another double down. At least this time I was able to somewhat control it.

https://youtu.be/tuitUT5fvH8?t=2h5m21s

Mike getting his air-time. Unfortunately for him I make contact with him back to back turns. Sorry Mike! And I almost scored the trifecta at the end of the lap when Mike went in for his pitstop and I stayed out. Close one!

https://youtu.be/tuitUT5fvH8?t=2h10m5s

After the pit stop Colts gets by me. Then I put a wheel on the rumble strip at a weird angle and around I go.

See you guys tomorrow :cheers:

 
Alrighty then, race day! Mazda Radbul at "Not Bannochbrae".

Note:
Wastegate must be set to 0.00 bar
Restrictor must be set to 25.1mm
Max fuel set to 25 liters.
Tire setting = Real
Mandatory pitstop, will be interesting to see how the tire wear will be come the halfway distance.

Please remember guys, the race isn't won in the first few corners, lets try and keep contact to a minimum tonight, it's going to be tight, :mischievous:

Im in for tonight gang, hopefully there will be a spot for me :scared:, i love this car, what a blast to drive!!!

Invites come out around 8 so be quick to use it and you're guaranteed to be in, I can't say much for 15 minutes later though. :P

Just to clarify, active drivers (those who have raced at least once in the previous four weeks) have priority until 8:30. For sure still join whenever you can, but if the room did fill by 8:30 (which has never happened yet), then an inactive member would have to step out. With both Red and GR8 out for tonight there should be no problem though.
