I miss that track

 

[dranddad]

There use to be many pictures and videos from TCR and Wednesday fun night. I'll try and find Mount Panorama vid I did, but there may only be a snippet as I can't find the full race.

This was a track I made up based on MP I think before it was added to GT, having said that the memory is not what it was.

Was a good track Mike, how I wish we had half the tools in GT that we had then, make life so much easier

Been testing this today with controller and auto gearbox, I can go faster with DS3 than the wheel

Should be a good combo for Bo and Jarrod. 👍👍

I’ll be there. Might be a little late.

 

[dranddad]

Look forward to it Bo.

Did a small test session with Jarrod (Drummmer) yesterday what an absolute pleasure. Jarrod is now mastering the art of patients with a FF, he started out a few weeks ago going off 12 times in a lap, now he goes off once in 12 laps he managed to start tuning some good lap times too. 👍

Big thanks to Antony for help testing.

Always a pleasure Phillip. I will be late this evening due to other commitments but will make a turn at some point.

 

[dranddad]

Good news Antony, always nice to have your company.

Still looking forward to your event/combo with the handicaps, so too Chris and Jarrod have 💡 for a tfn night once they have them sorted.

 

[NaketWookie]

Get in there guys,
There might be another Gr.3 Porsche Cup Test if you like
Track: Autopolis Short // Blue Moon Bay Infield A II
Setup: 90% Power, 110% Weight, Racing Hards

See you tonight!

I'm still busy rebuilding the spreadsheet using ideas from the testing sessions we did a few weeks back. Will let you know once the issues have been ironed out.

 

[NaketWookie]

Antohny, after we did your "delayed Start"-Testing, i thought to myself, maybe we could combine that with the Porsche race... perhaps we can have a try at this as well.
Are you in for that?

Sure am Chris.

[Jamie duerden]

Cheers for hosting Phil, hope u feel better soon chief 👍

 

[geeTeye]

Had a brilliant evening again last night. Thanks Phillip and the rest of the gang.

 

[dranddad]

Thanks for the kind thoughts gents, I'm going to lock myself away in the man cave if they bring bugs into the house.

Nice good luck in your new job

 

[dranddad]

What a fantastic night of racing, it doesn't come much better than this one.

Old tech vs New tech.

I see you gleaming, you think you can take on the stallion

I'll give it a go, grasshopper

Know your place Yoda, you will.

Bit of a wild ride Porsche vs Stratos

Think these had all been boosted.

A little push up the hill is in order, for these geriatric old-timers.

Who said it doesn't get frosty in the desert.

A little bit of Nostalgia @ Brands Hatch.
​

Hard to believe with all the views that our thread gets new members don't come and join this fun. In GT5 this fun night used to be that full guys were queuing up at the door to get in, the rooms were full 10 minutes after it opened. On a Shuffle night, there was no way you would make it until a seat became vacant.

Last night races rekindled the spark to do more of the same, soon we'll have Laguna Seca to add in the mix.

 

[Drummer79]

Damn, wish I could have been there! Congratulations Phillip on a, yet again, successful night!

 

[dranddad]

Thanks Jarrod.

Your seat will always be open, and we do re-visits to events if members miss them and would like to run it. 👍

 

[Jamie duerden]

Great fun as always

 

[Argon]

Brilliant night, thanks again Phillip and thanks to everyone else for making it a truly fun night

 

[Drummer79]

Unfortunately it's a holiday Thursday here in the States,so I will not be able to join you! Good luck and good racing to you all!
