Thursday Fun Night (Re-named)

[dranddad]

Welcome to tfn Baggiobill glad you enjoyed your night with us.

You were missed Mike, so too was Bo life just gets in the way at times.

Thanks Larry for a great night and all your hard work keeping the room running smoothly 👍

 

[dranddad]

Great first lap action, shame Mike had a lock-up into turn one after the start. Larry had a faultless race to take the flag after a text-book race.

Just a little of the first lap, impressive side by side action from the green light.


Congrats to Baggiobill not easy jumping into a group, nice to see someone who knows when to back out and take a wider line when needed. 👍👍

 

[Argon]

@dranddad I have no idea what went on there. I braked as normal then the wheels locked up and I did a sharp right straight into the path of @geeTeye (sorry Anthony ). It was great fun making my way through the field from dead last though and @Bass Addict drove a great race as did everyone from the bits I saw.

 

[dranddad]

The first lap was brilliant, everyone mindful of who was around them. I would like to think my rules and tips in the rooms play a big part but man I was blown away watching that first lap. All I can say is this.

Thanks Mike for getting me back on track

I was getting confused.

Gents please if you could find the time to post a time trial lap for the list above. We could get these Head to Head races underway this Thursday 20th Feb before our next.

Endurance race on the 27th February @ Fuji Speedway -------------- Group 3 BoP | Tyre / Fuel management T/F 10x 4x

@Baggiobill have a go at this and post your time in this thread, I'll let you know how the race works after.

If we can find time for this on the 20th we'll follow with members Pick&Mix

Major catastrophe, my PS4 has packed up, will no longer read any of my game disks old or new, tried all the usual fixes to no avail, just sent it off for repair/replace

My ps4 is starting to randomly have tantrums so I am trying to keep it for our Wednesdays and Sundays....hoping to make it last till...well ....whenever I get a PS5....hey Larry...still doing surveys to get enough points for my “new”” ps4......damn I hate scams.

 

[dranddad]

The last run in the Group 4 cars is the head to head @ Autopolis

I hope you can run the offline time trial before Thursday (don't forget to set BoP for the track) it helps me pair you up with the nearest times for the pairings.
​

Head to Head is a 3 lap sprint.

First-round fastest pair at the sharpest point of the grid, slowest pair at the dullest (blunt) end of the grid, spaced at intervals of 10 seconds.

Second-round is a reverse grid, this time with only a 5-second spacing interval you know you're going to love it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the 27th Feb we're at Fuji for our second Endurance race in any Group 3 car you like, BoP will be set for the room.

Following this, in March we start our Group 3 racing series round​

 

[geeTeye]

sorry Anthony ).

No worries Mike, all good. Thoroughly enjoyed the race. Congrats to Larry for a superb drive.

@MikeyLCR hope you're OK with all these floods happening in Wales, so too all our members of tfn and gtplanet keep safe.

Cheers Philip, I'm fine thanks I live about 1000ft up the side of a mountain...if I get flooded everyone else is in deep 🤬

Feel bad for everyone affected , must be soul destroying getting flooded out.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this race night as per recommendation from my mate MichaelV, and I'm up for taking part in Thursday's Head-to-Head at Autopolis.

Car: McLaren 650S Gr.4
Tyres: RH
BoP: On
Time: 1.54.776

 

[dranddad]

@hybridgts your welcome to join us, so long as you don't go any faster than that nice time in the Mclaren list updated.

hybridgts you'll have to send a friends request if you've done so already.

 

[hybridgts]

Will do in a little while, cheers!

 

[dranddad]

Ok, I'll see you tomorrow.

Pairings for the Head to Head races so far looks like some very close pairings which should make for some nerves on the grid.

Each pair will go at 10-second intervals on the first round 3 laps H/H. The second race is reverse grid but with only 5-second intervals.

If you do happen to catch the pairing in front, you must pass without any interference to that pairing

2. GeeTeye ---------------- 1:53.268
3. Wookie ----------------- 1:53.292
4. BassAddict ------------- 1:53.578

@hybridgts you should enjoy the company in our room, everyone tries to help all have fun. Some races are serious some are just what it says on the tin Fun.

 

[Jamie duerden]

Not sure if I can make tonight, depends on my hiding and sneaking off skills, if I’m not on by 8 it ain’t happening, I did do a time but I can’t remember what it was, hope that helps

 

[Jamie duerden]

Wow that's close, looking forward to this!

Welcome sir

 

[Renrag39]

Welcome @hybridgts

I might be on tonight but only until 8 for a bit of a play. The joys of nights!

 

[dranddad]

"depends on my hiding and sneaking off skills"


Would you like me to draft an absentee letter for you, young-un.

 

[MichaelV]

I’ll also be missing out tonight, have half a rig at the moment as I’m waiting for some parts.

Big thanks to @NaketWookie the rig guru for helping me out!
