Well hello again to all weekly racers! good to see the series still going strong thanks to Boom and the dedicated racers here 👍
I decided to give this weeks race a little go myself after a long break, not been very successful with it though, after a lot of failed attempts due to the damn red tyres
I managed a clean save with...
L2 - 1'47.7
L3 - 1'47.8
L4 - 1'48.8
I have had laps 2 and 3 in the 1'46'5's but lost it in lap 4
but hopefully a major improvement by results day 
See you all at the finish line

I'm done. I'm dissapointed but I'm done. I'm doing something wrong with the tire wear.
I get good lap 1 2 and 3 times. But 4 goes through the roof and 5 isn't on the radar. The front left wheel is yellow after 1 lap!!!!
Times are in, maybe I'll have better luck next week.

And a hello to you too! Great to see you, welcome back!
Well, I ran another session and improved by 4sec.
Met or surpassed all of my previous PBs except L2 and that was a 46.1.
So, I never did get a blistering lap, like CFM's 45.4, but L5 was pretty good.
I'll submit this.
Good luck and have fun!
P.S.
Don't you hate it when there's a dodgy moment, after a couple of fast laps and you have that nagging doubt in the back of your mind, as you finish the race.
If the race is fast, you then have to agonize over the replay, hoping it's clean.
P.P.S.
Has anyone watched the AI in replay?
Check out the way they fly after pitting.
The speedo reads the same as normal, but they are going much faster.
Reminds me of a hybrid.

Thanx boom !!! 👍
GREAT Race! I for one would like to see more of 'em, especially like the "Wrinkle" you threw in w/Limited Tyre Selection..."Good Call." After perusing the thread am sure I'm way off the pace 
but will send in a time anyway. MONSTER T-Storm coming in, so if I'm able to improve my time & Internet access is available might re-post. Thanx Again...UB57
BTW: 👍 "Welcome Back Lotus350 from me as well"

Sheesh, you'd think people didn't want a challenge!I gotta admit it's frustrating but this is why I wanted to sign up for some online racing stuff. I need something challenging - and this will do.
It's just a pity GT3s replay control is virtually non-existant. I hate waiting to check if I went toally off track on lap 4 or 5... but what the hell GT3 is so good everywhere else you almost forgive it.
I just wish I could put all my good laps together in one race. From what everyone's been saying I'd blast it
Or maybe not.
Good 1st lap times are just under 1.55 with laps 2-4 around 1.48 and the last... somewhat longer
Might give it 'just one more go'.......
..... for a couple of hours probably....

Well I've never been much cop at setting cars up, I just fiddle about until stuff kinda works - although I'm getting a bit better at car setups now so it's not ALL total guesswork.
But I've been banging at it for a while and thhere's definately a trick to keeping tyre wear down - which I *think* I may have sussed but I'm not sure if it works out in the long run.
I know sometimes things just don't seem easy but I'm not here for easy.
Don't listen to 'em Boom... I've quite enjoyed this even though my joypad may not have... the numbrr of times it's been flung on the floor in disgust (at my erratic driving) it's a wonder it's still there - hee hee.
Still, I gotta admit I can't get teh overall time I want. I simply can't hook up that perfect race. Got some good times on each lap but in different races. Oh well.
Time to load up THPS3 and bide my time till friday....

This is the best I've got so far. I'm going to tweak with some settings, but this is what I'll turn in if nothing better appears.
Renault Clio Race Car, Black, #33
Lap 1: 1'53.341
Lap 2: 1'46.something
Lap 3: 1'48.041
Lap 4: 1'50.779
Lap 5:
I typically rely on the Analyze to tell me if I've hit any walls, or the overhead view and slow motion if I've gone off track, but all of that isn't allowed here... Gr. I'm just about 100% it was 100% clean. I didn't touch a wall.

Well, since I have so many things to do in college this and the next two weeks(finals!!! ) well I havent raced that much, but my time, hmm I guess it isn't as fast as others that I can imagine, well hopefully I can get my 3rd consecutive podium on the 2nd division, good luck all

here hippy lemme just save you some trouble right now
i wont be submitting a time this week either. i just wasnt feeling this race, plus i wanna sit down and do some work on UB's diablo race, which i also havent touched all week. 2 multi-lap races w/ tire wear = no fun. Plus ive been working on a little race on my own that i'll throw up in the suggestion thread once i get everything worked out. If boom likes it hopefully it'll show up in the coming weeks

Hey ODP! Good to see ya mate.
Yeah, send me all the lap times. If I get enough lap times from everyone, I'll put up who ran the fast lap.

New PM sent.
CarbonFiber Man has a 45.4 as his fast lap and from my experience, it's going to be tough to beat.
I thought I had improved by ½sec but there are 3 wheels off. Bah!
Tried it again and it paid. Improved by 1.176sec. L3 was fast lap (45.880).
I wish I had started on this earlier, as I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Well, I did get another shot at this Monday night, but by the time I did, after a few days off, I improved my individual lap times, (e.g lap1 1'55.0 to 1'54.0) but just could not get a full race together. So I ended up submitting my times from Thursday. Great fun at any rate. Another great race idea Boom!!!
Despite having won the SS Enduro many times, (it's a quick way to break in cars) I had never won the Clio Race. Now that I've driven it, it's definitely a keeper!!
