It still wins even with half a car.

"The first rule of the Italian driver..."

Well played

 

[O604]

Gumball Rally (1976) has some of the best car scenes ever. But under rated because it's comedy I think. I love that this series reminded me of it.

 

[AfraidRacer]

The race is next week, we still have some sign-up spaces left if anyone wants to join in.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Practice is on

If anyone needs a Ferrari livery I found this one in a barn.
It's the 1971 class winder from N.A.R.T. driven by Cianetti and only beaten by prototypes
And from this race on by Corvettes....

Are you sure you aren't mixing up this with the Ferrari Vs McLaren?

 

[Redneckchef]

Locked and loaded. Now to make it drive.

 

[Pigems]

I’ll take a reserve spot, I’m not 100% certain I can make it, but I’ll try my best too.

 

[AfraidRacer]

Are you sure you aren't mixing up this with the Ferrari Vs McLaren?

Yeah I think that’s it!

 

[AfraidRacer]

Practice lobby up for a bit, friends only. PSN- AfraidRacer.

 

[AfraidRacer]

@RacingGrandpa @OJBrit @Timm Sheehan @GINJANINJA82 @O604 @Redneckchef @ThePotatoKing @Pigems @Kermit_2142 Roll call for tommorow.

EDIT- Quick update, Big Willow Race 1 and 2 are now 10 and 6 laps resppectively.

 

[Kermit_2142]

I should be there, say 70%. Also racing #12.

 

[OJBrit]

Still should be there. I am out most of Saturday but hoping to pop back for FIA and and be home in time for this.

 

[Redneckchef]

I'll be there. Struggling to find a compromise between stability and speed in that Vette, but at Big Willow especialy I might just have to lean in favor of safety and stability. That sand is unforgiving

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I'll be there.
Edit:: realized I haven't set my race number.
4.it is.
Switching cars between tracks as I run different setups, but same number

The sand is unforgiving for the Ferrari as well. . . although it does glide across the sand nicely (until I hit the wall).

 

[ThePotatoKing]

I will be there as well.

As unforgiving as Big Willow is, at least it has a decent flow. St. Croix feels akward, with none of its corners having one right line through them. It doesn't help that the Corvette despises long fast corners either.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

@ThePotatoKing I have another setup for the Corvette at St Croix, would you like to try it?

Yup, sure.
