[Cote Dazur]

RMC Toscana is the one we're using for this race. 👍

RMC Toscana is the one I am looking for.
According to the first post of this thread the track is supposed to be at miata_1, I have sent a friend request.

 

[watermelon punch]

Good, good. I heard that there's been a few FRs for the track. 👍
It'll likely be shared there for the duration. (He doesn't use the share track feature much. lol)

 

[Cote Dazur]

(I had your name added 👍)

 

[watermelon punch]

I'm seeing the fastest lap so far as being 6:12... but I thought someone did a 6:10... ?

 

[matticus88]

I think i did a 6:09 the other day, but i think i was on wrong tires

 

[watermelon punch]

Comfort Mediums is the tire... It's the tire the car comes with, I believe...?

 

[matticus88]

I think i put softs on it. xD

 

[watermelon punch]

I've made a horrible miscalculation with time zones.

Have I mentioned recently how I hate time zones and how much they confuse me??

Well, apparently the USA decides to switch to Daylight Savings Time 2 weeks earlier than Europe now...
So for the next 2 weeks, the time difference is... well, different. Which effects our schedule.

So we have 3 choices really. And I would really like to pick the choice that works for everyone, if at all possible!!!!

[dmihaylov]

Is it too late to be in? PSN: mitaches

 

[John Wells]

Im fine with these times melon:tup:

 

[watermelon punch]

Is it just my bad luck... ??
But every time I see Honda s800 or Toyota Sports 800 in the UCD...
it's always ridiculously high mileage!!! (800,000km )
Even the s800 I'm using for this race, is not very low mileage.
I see the Toyota Sports 800 more often... but it's almost always extremely high mileage.

 

[CC570]

Restore coupon and its 0 miles

you never know ... someone might send you a low mileage s800

Where do people get these restore coupons???
I don't have any.

Awe.

 

[watermelon punch]

Wow 18 miles... when you say low mileage, you mean nearly 0. lol

Thanks bunches!!!

Luckily I have a stockpile of Galaxy White Pearl paint chips. (It's one of my favourite paint chip colours, particularly for vintage cars.)

 

[IMZIZ]

I'm planning to make it, though I will be showing up about 1/2way through the qualifying so that I can do this over my lunch hour.

IMZIZ/IMZIZ/Pourpre(purple) & White

 

[watermelon punch]

cool!!!

The dst thing really mucked up the timing

But the race itself will definitely not exceed 45 minutes, from what I've tested.
And the race should start by half past no later.
Is that cool for ya?
So if you arrived at say quarter after, you should have time to get in 1 qualifying lap, and the race will then be over by 1 hour after you arrive.
(Think that's right.)

 

[IMZIZ]

Yup... a short qualifying session (even if I don't get a timed lap and have to start at the back) followed by the race is my current plan. I think that should make it work out well enough. I know you've been trying to put together a race for this car for a while now, and from my testing session over lunch today, it's going to be a wild ride on this track. 👍
