Thursday Fun Night (Re-named)

[m8h3r]

It was very hot Bo, we were all melting after just a few laps.

My other half tried to be funny and distract me by throwing some water at me, I wasn't upset about it to say the least.

 

[m8h3r]

Sorry for the double post.

Being completely honest with me is ACC worth getting? A few of you have obviously purchased it and I trust your opinions.

 

[dranddad]

AC, some will praise it as the best thing to hit the market, it does have its good points, it also has negative points like all games, one size in games never fits all.

I find it reminds me a little of PC cars, frame rate (having epilepsy) I find in corners and chicane it becomes a little hard visually, little uncomfortable.

Physics good, sound effects OTT, unless I can find how to turn them down. I thought I had lost my jags back-box first time down the cork-screw at Laguna

Stay off curbs, never hit a concrete sausage unless you wish to be air-born. Seems to be a lack of any suspension in default settings, so tuning may play a big part of the game.

For the price buy it, you'll have fun.

Say Phil, bet you took your wife on your first date on one of these

 

[dranddad]

I remember it well, the age of steam.

I've gone ahead and purchased it. You wasnt joking about the curbs and sounds. Senory overloads.

 

[dranddad]

Well, if the Fun night was measured in the amount of laughs, that night has to be close to the top.

 

[m8h3r]

Back again this week, what do we have in store?

 

[dranddad]

Sorry been busy with life in general, I'm sure we'll come up with a night of entertainment like last week.

I think it was one of our best weeks.

I'll have a look today at our front page events future and past and pick one.
Any of our members can do the same, if there is a combo there you like just post the request, all helps with work load. 👍👍

 

[Drummer79]

It was good seeing everyone today, I go back to work next week so I won't be able to race for the foreseeable future! I will jump in as soon as it is possible. See you guys hopefully soon. Cheers!

FYI, have AAC, so if you guys are around for any of that kind of racing let me know, be glad to bring up the rear in that game also!!!

Hey guys. I’m sorry I haven’t been around much. While most everyone was quarantined, I got double the work load. That is soon to change. I start a new job in a week. Hoping to drop by this Thursday and get some laps in. See you all soon.

 

[dranddad]

Hi Joe, good to hear from you, it'll be nice to see you and I hope the new job works out well for you.

 

[Roastie]

Hi, Nice to meet a few of you last night - and look forward to joining on Thursdays.

Cheers,

David

 

[dranddad]

Hi David.

Welcome, if you enjoy a bit of fun then you'll fit in nicely with our tfn members.

We have a mixed bag of races and types, have a look at page one, first 3 or 4 posts, there is a list of events past and ongoing.

See you tfn night, a mic is always handy as we old uns don't type much.

 

[Roastie]

I'll have to work out how to use the mic thing

A little challenge

Fuji Short track On-Line only.​

@weescotman

Here you go Will, for you and your contacts


Any Group 3 @ fuji fuel 3x / tyres 12x which was an FIA race @ Fuji short, with a twist.

One set of tyres Racing Soft, 15 laps, BoP on, all laps under 1'40.000. on line

If you lose the back end or go off, you may not make the 1'40.000 so be smooth.

Here is mine, had just a bit of N/S tyre left

As you can see above from the screenshot all lap times are under 1'40.000 Tyre wear, laps remaining, and fuel percentage shows this can be done.

If you choose to accept this challenge (Ethan hunt) it will self destruct after 5 seconds, so please pause after crossing the finish line, take a screenshot and post your victory.

If your on-line and you've run your race then wondering what to do next, what better time, you can (not tried) have a number on track at the same time, so long as you're well spaced out so as not to have draft. Or you could watch from the viewing lounge and give encouragement, or apply pressure to he or them doing the challenge, just have fun with it.

Enjoy.

Edit: This is open to all if you wish to have a go. Please post your victory screenshot for all to see.

Heading out tomorrow for 3 days of R & R...going to a cabin in the woods in rural Ohio. They have three covid-19 cases total for the entire county...I should be good to go! 👍

Have fun this week and I will see everyone next week!

 

[dranddad]

Happy birthday for Friday Larry.

Have a great 3 days and keep everyone safe.

 

[dranddad]

Late yes I know but well worth waiting for.

​

Throwback to the '50,s and '60,s. Come blow your mind with the tunes these make in cockpit mode, three of the best in GT Sport.

Aston DB3S

Power 120 ----- Weight 106 ----- Gearbox auto speed set at 193mph / 310Kph

Jaguar D-Type

Power 120 ----- Weight 100 ----- Gearbox auto speed set at 193mph / 310Kph

Cobra 427 if you don't have the above.

Power 73 ------ Weight 89 ------- Gearbox auto speed set at 193mph / 310Kph.

Five laps of Le-mans so plenty of time to take in the beautiful sounds of these vintage models
Tire and fuel will be on, penalties and damage will be also set at weak, not that you would want to spoil the looks of these.

Edit. Don't forget the fuji challenge above post #1667

 

[Drummer79]
