Yes, we all drive the same car and the car changes every week. All we need to know from you is your PSN user id and your unique color combination and car number (refer to drivers list). 👍

 

[xXSeay33Xx]

No, we wouldn't mind at all if you show up for practice. In fact, we would be glad to have you visit. I would need your PSN user id so I can send you the appropriate FR. We practice on Wednesday nights and Friday nights at 8pm Eastern.

Yes, it was a great turn out. I was really looking forward to it but wasn't able to attend.

Tip on breaking in the car.

You don't have to change the oil twice. (once on purchase and after break-in)

I bought two cars.

First one. Purchased, oil change, b-spec grand valley enduro, changed oil.
Second one. Purchased, b-spec grand valley enduro, changed oil.

Both had identical pp. Something like 412 maybe, not at home to check.

I thought they would be different but they were the same.

Managed to get a few laps into the high 1:33's, but they were few and far between.

Turns 9 & 14 are my problem turns where I'm losing speed.

 

[martin_ky]

I had problems at 9 and 14 as well. The rear end kept kicking out. What helped me was to break a little earlier and turn in sooner. Try making the corners with less wheel turn. I down shifted into 2nd on turn 9 and got better pull on exit. For turn 14 I stayed in 3rd. See if that helps at all. After a few laps I was able to get in the 1:31's.

 

[Infinital-NG]

Yeah but your fast, I'm not.

Just remember these two things at practice tonight.

1) "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast" I saw it in a movie some time ago, but it works.

2) "Slow in fast out" In other words exit speed is more important than entrance speed.

See you at practice tonight in Turtle Town! 👍

 

[Ph1sh]

Thanks! Appericate it!! Who's the host for the practice room?

Those are some great quotes! Something I need to do more

Also I might be a tad late for the practice tonight, but I'll definitely be there

MBOBB1969 generally hosts them in the TURTLE_Town lounge at 8pm Eastern. If you've never been there go to the "COMMUNITY" tab which is below GTLIFE and PROFILE. Find Turtle Town and click on the coffee cup. 👍

I'm glad you enjoyed it. You did very well, and we look forward to seeing you on the track again! 👍

 

[Afrodeezy]

Today's practice was definitely a fun one! Had the car sideways a lot, but it was actually pretty fun sliding around the corners! Everyone is so competitive and close together in lap times that when the field is bunched up it makes for quite the interesting racing. Looking forward to more track time on Friday

Also, keep in mind that PSN will be down from Thursday 4:00 PM PST to Friday 8:00 AM PST

 

[MBOBB1969]

Hello guys, That was a great night of practice. We meet both of our goals for this league, we all had fun and it was a very clean practice. Thanks to all the drivers in attendance.
