Thursday Fun Night (Re-named)

[dranddad]

Thanks Jarrod.

I think it's going to be just a bit of casual for this week, if anyone is about we'll run something or other.

Oh crap no booze old 🤬

 

[Pigpin13]

Great fun today! My sides still hurt from laughing.

 

[dranddad]

Thanks Larry, you are a magnet for others to join the room 👍👍 Great evening Sir.

Sardegna Track A, Track B, Track C-II

Thursday 5th December @ 19:00

Ferrari Dino 246 GT '71 & Porsche 356 Speedster '56

Thanks to Larry and Jamie for their help testing.
​

Ferrari Dino power is 53% and weight 88% -- suspension and gears are Default -- Tires are Sport Hard.

Porsche 356 Power 100% and weight 100% -- suspension there is a tune below if you wish -- gears Default -- Tires are Sport Medium

​

Bring one or both cars.

We're going to be using three tracks this week Sardegna A, B, CII (by request) and three sets of tires I find that CII is better for close racing on Dino SM and Porsche SS as there are a couple of corners which are a pain on the Default tires SH/SM so we may change up for that one. ​

[Cobani]

Looks good gentlemen. Race you tomorrow.

A few moments from last nights fun at TFN

Hope you enjoy the pictures and captions.


Well if you think this game is just, jump in a car and go round and round then disappear up your own exhaust pipe, you miss so much.

What a great line-up, the racing was equally as good.

A small moment there Jamie in the rust bucket.

Look like hot-wheel cars from my childhood days.

Wir haben ihn umzingelt

Larry, no wonder you were last, you've got a roof-box on your Ferrari

Oh no. horror, will we make it before the blade comes round.

In this situation, does one lean left or right.

One just had to take this view, all looks good. Full tank of fuel, oil temperature good, rev-counter working fine. glance in the mirror head down lets Goooooooooo.

​

What a great night, thanks to everyone for joining and making Thursday fun night so enjoyable.

Phillip.

Car GrB Ford Focus on sport soft tires.

One out lap then two flying laps post the best time here in this thread.

You can take practice laps if you wish, PIT then one out lap and two hotlaps, post your best time.

​

Please post any new quali times here so I can copy-paste into the list.

More info to come

A little info first, this mini-series will be a two-man team event so we can give encouragement to your teammate. Why, because with real life we can't always all be here every week. If you're not able to make it, you still score the minimum points for your team.

Thanks to Larry for offering to keep a log of the points for each team.

Teams will be the fastest quali time with slowest quali time and so on down the qualifier list.

Great work Phil, always appreciated

 

[geeTeye]

Great evening with a superb bunch as usual. You were certainly missed Larry.

 

[dranddad]

List updated above.


Sorry Bo I missed your post in the chat.

The middle section of the pairings is looking very strong.

 

[dranddad]

Thursday Fun Night Mini race series.

My Gr4 is ready to go

The first 3 Tracks are.

Alsace 10 laps, Brands Hatch 13 laps, Autopolis 11 laps

The provisional start time is 19:45 gmt.

​

This series will be in 4 parts. Gr4 / Gr3 / Gr2 / Gr1 with teams of two, fastest quail time paired with slowest quail time.

Starting with Gr4 there will be 3 races in each group at different tracks each race, but you keep to the same car for all races.

The car is any Gr4 you wish, racing hard tires and no tuning, the room will be set to BoP and tuning prohibited.

Point system Larry has this in hand, I think there will be a running total for individuals and a team standing. You can have team names, numbers, liveries whatever if you wish more fun the better.

Not a lot more to say, straight races of between 20 to 30 minutes starting off with no tire wear or fuel. As normal I will introduce some with this.

But not as we know it, Jim.

If there is anything I've failed to mention please let me know. ​

 

[geeTeye]

Do we choose i own car Phillip?

 

[dranddad]

Yes Antony any Gr4 car as they'll be set to BoP in the lobby.

Start date to be discussed

You then keep that car for all the Gr4 races (3) I was going to ask everyone if they would like this to be once every fortnight (2 weeks) as we are coming up to a very busy time of the year for us all.

I'll get it all wrote up over the next day or two.

Any comments are always welcome.

Things like start date, weekly, fortnightly, monthly and we'll go with the majority.

There are only 6 places left in the qualifier, so if anyone would like to join us, please run the quali and post your time here.

 

[Argon]

I wouldn't mind weekly but don't really have a strong preference so happy to go with the flow whatever the preferred frequency is 👍

 

[dranddad]

Please See This, I've updated the event details.

I'll update the OP with the first 3 tracks if you wish to do practise.


Thanks Mike.

That make two of us.

 

[MikeyLCR]

I think at the time we were doing the qualy I got one lap in of 59.350 or thereabouts before binning it , I called it out at the time but not sure if you got it, After this Thursday I won't be available until 9th January anyway, Christmas do on the 16th and then at my sisters all through the hols.

Might be as well to leave me out of the first batch, wouldn't be fair to a team mate if I'm not going to be there.

 

[dranddad]

Thanks Mike.

I've put you in the running Mike as it's 12 weeks (4 Groups 3 races in each group) Would sooner have you racing with us than not. I don't think there will be much going on over the holidays anyway. I for one will not be here on the 26th nor the 2nd

Larry is going to sort scoring 👍 and whoever is not able to make a race will still be awarded the minimum points on a scale that Larry comes up with.

This will also be added to the team overall score too. Hay it's all about fun fun fun as Tigger says.

 

[Jamie duerden]

Evening all, can’t race for the foreseeable sadly, brake is not registering, sometimes permanently on, sometimes flickering, not gonna make for much fun, have fun everyone
