I would love to do this, but I have not practised at all! Could I join the lobby to spectate?

Barring the usual shenanigans I should be around for this one.

 

[irish-hippie]

Just finished buying and building this spec car...
Had to do a little grinding,but very affordable build and great fun to throw around Goodwood(hadn't got the suspension,crank,engine balance,LSD or clutch/flywheel installed for that...)

Onto livery and quick grind for wheels now!

 

[irish-hippie]

If you could add me as a friend just to spectate I'd appreciate,thanks!

 

[RacingGrandpa]

If someone is in need of a livery I have a few left overs.

 

[irish-hippie]

Is this going ahead?

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Is this going ahead?

Yes, tomorrow.

 

[irish-hippie]

🤦 I'm a dumbass... Thought yesterday was the fifth😅

Can't make party chat tonight. Headset didn't make it in one piece on the move from Spain and haven't purchased a new one yet. Racing without the commentary seems like normal daily races to me. I will get one before the next race.

@Chevy Heavy sorry! when I saw you still on the outside it was too late for me to do anything about it.

you carried loads more speed thru the corner than I was expecting after you came out of pits.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Some really great racing, all through the field it seemed. I shared replay of the second one. In the excitement I forgot getting the first one.

 

[DelboyD]

Yes. Enjoyed both races. Good combo.

Nice to be on track with you all again.

No problem. I knew when I came out of the pits between you and @Redneckchef something was going to have to give in turn 1.

 

[Timm Sheehan]

Thank you @RacingGrandpa for hosting tonight. I had a great time. Thanks to all who raced for the enjoyable racing night.

 

[Redneckchef]

Thanks for hosting, and for having a livery I could ramp to the rules pretty quick @RacingGrandpa

Had fun in both races but in different ways. Race 1 trying my damndest to catch up to @O604 after running off and dropping to last on lap 1.
Then race 2 with the battle all race long with @DelboyD That was fantastic. And thanks for setting the picks @Chevy Heavy and @O604

Always a good time when I can get back on track with you guys.

And awesome dominance @The359

Very fun race, that car (and track) was a challenge throughout. It's a very different animal from the other Spec Miata, I just wish we had more of a chance for closer racing with it like the other Miata, but it clearly is a car that requires a lot of finesse on every corner.

It was a challenge. My first run with Barber's tune was a bit of a wake up as I was expecting the car to be planted with a "jump in and race" feel to it. I realised that I'd need to practice to do well and edit the tune.

I found it difficult enough to make being consistant tricky, but I could tell when I was just on the limit and I knew this was quicker.

It could be soft tyres would be enough grip to close the field up a little.

Having said all that, I'd be up for another race in this car as it is.

I tried to add you on PSN yesterday. I think I sent to wrong person the FR.
Sorry about the sudden change of host.

 

[O604]

Good times. Thanks everyone.

Some highlights from the 1st race. Minus car sounds because I somehow switched it off.

No worries,the missus turned up so couldn't spectate/race of a spot was available unfortunately.

Sounds like a good time was had by all.
Very fun spec car to drive, looking forward to hopefully participating in any other races in the future.

Will check out the replay later!
