cool. count me in.

 

[Der Alta]

Ouch... Narrow streets, very tight corners, and 4WD. I'm aiming for a clean lap first, fast lap second.

[DQuaN]

Sold my 206 ages ago. I can see the wrs getting expensive for me

 

[RSCosworth]

Looks cool, might give this a try

 

[scuderia229]

WOW!

GoKents...I couldn't have made a better race for myself. SS11 is my favorite circuit next to Monte in GT3, especially in the reverse (Apricot Hill rounds out my top three) and the 206 rally car (in it's fully modded flavour) is in my top ten cars in GT3...not only that 4wd cars are probably the only car I do know to tune in GT3.

Plus the ultra nimble 206 at SS11 is a great!

I love it! I'll be making time to work on this one this week!!!!!!

What's not to love. One of the top cars ever in the WRC, maybe even the best (subjective I know but i think the 206 has the most wins of any car in the WRC) on a circuit that will show the 206's capabilities and strengths...not to manetion ss11 is so damn fun to drive on!!!!!!

Who wouldn't want to do this race?...the only thing more perfect is a mini at monte or a rgt at apricot hill......

 

[Duke]

Bleah. I hate R11. Can we run Monaco instead?

 

[NielsG]

I'm sorry, but I think, I have to back out on this one.
Again this week I'm short on time, and I have to concentrate on the ARC#2, if I should not make a complete fool of myself in both race series.

But I'm still in love with the Weekly Race Series, and I'll be back, as soon as time permits it.

Have fun.

Ive well and truly screwed up my PC at home. Managed to delete windows as I was planning on re-installing it but I havent got the access code thing to re-install so the pc is buggered !!!!

 

[daan]

Whoops. You don't wanna be doing that. I assume it's not stuck to the top/side of your case?

 

[BigJamesGTI]

No its a pc I bought from a friend and I cant find the paperwork that has the code things on it

I'll have a proper look tonight -

 

[Rolfje]

Count me in! (I will pay more attention to the deadline this time

 

[HeinrichII]

*edited, wrong track times*

 

[Michael K]

Heinrich

Those T times don't make sense. You're doing SSR 11 REVERSE, right?

 

[HeinrichII]

...

the only thing I can say is LOL! sorry

 

[miata13B]

4. No cutting the grass or short cutting.
- I am going to have issues with this rule this week Kent I get on it tonight

 

[ving]

Yes! Thank you my friend, now I have material for the signiture.

Anyway, yeah, miata, real observant of you, but I will still have an eye on you and that lawn mower you call a rally car.

Im also sorry about the results rolfje... had I caught it that night I would have edited it in, but you were just a little too late.
Maybe next time.

Later.
Glad to see some of you guys like the course/car combo.

There is nothing NOT to like about this race.....

It's perfect!

 

[Oliver DePlace]

There are only two places that can possibly be shortcut and you'd have a hell of a time doing it without hitting the guardrail.


My 206 prize car (still) doesn't display chase view in replay.
So, I bought one at the dealer and it doesn't have chase view either.

Does anyone have a 206 that displays chase view in replay?

 

[Kent]

Don't know about the views question, my 206 is messed up with the views... no matter what I do the thing always uses a default first person view. That means it switches back after I change it to third on ever single new lap. It is the suck as some would say.

As for short cutting and crap... those rules are a generalized rule set taken from boom's previous work... only thing you guys need to worry about is not hitting walls. (unless you come up with something really creative... then we will talk again.)

But for now, Im off to school, hope to have time this week, but school has got a lot of my time and mid terms are next week. (notice that this newly changed good student now knows of the mid-terms a week before they actually occur. )

I sure don't. Noticed this earlier today after running a few laps in my virgin prize 206. No 206 chase view on any track in free run. This will make checking for those wall touches a trifle difficult. Maybe we should switch to a similar car. The Xsara or Corolla don't have this problem.

 

[Bollocks#999]

Sorry guys, ya just gonna have to have all the fun without me this week, looks a damn good one at that

Nice combo, by the look of it, Kent 👍

 

[HeinrichII]

I got so hyper when I thought it was R5, but it's R11, not a favorite track of mine I must say

Well, had a 1 hour session, no clean lap, but I'm just messing around with the settings...I'm planning to setting it up as the same feeling I had with the RUF on this same track too in the weeklies...

 

[Michael K]

I'd never driven the 206 until today. I'm really impressed. For the HP it has, its very capable. With some very mild settings it has neutral handling and responsive steering. Should be an enjoyable week. Good call Kent. T1=15.5

 

[scuderia229]

97miles tonight, god I love this car and this circuit. I use CFM's race garage as my store so i went a bought a fresh 206 (full mods from there) and dove in tonight. I haven't worked on the suspension at all from CFM'S garage but did the gear trick, tweaked the final gear and began breaking in the car.....

some initial sectors, I run these times almost every lap, +/1 .4 at best over the final sector...consistent I am..haha

T1 16.479
T2 59.345
T3 1'23.760

I have alot of work to do but it is a great start...

Oh ya I quit my job today!!!!!! BUt not to worry I already have another lined up, all the pieces came together for it the past few days. No my life will return to somewhat normal, it will be nice.

 

[HeinrichII]

15.340
56.377
1.19.946

Definitely not my track, and I'm not that good on those 2 consecutive hairpins

At least is clean

 

[Oliver DePlace]

Dunno, thems lookin' pretty good to me. 👍

I've received my assignment. So, that means I'd better get off my ass and make an effort.

Yeah no crap!

I'm kinda wondering if those are even on ssr11 reverse, but then again, I guess Im just slow this week.

I could only get down to low 1.21's at the t3 mark.

So that's a full second heinrich is ahead of me.

I should be able to get down some more just as soon as I run a clean lap... which I am about to try.

I will be back with updates on my time as soon as I can manage something clean.
