Is Netherlands not going to switch to summer time?

Is Netherlands not going to switch to summer time?

Yes we switch as well... so no changes for me then?

 

[WarriusZero]

Nope.

Check the link, it should be fixed by itself.

EDIT: And by the way, I'm going to change the R5 (28th Apr), it tries to kill you all the time. The tracks will remain, though.

I bet this disappoints @KingKlingeling

Monday 7/4/2014 at 8pm GMT
Toyota 2000GT '67 - Comfort Soft - No TCS
Willow Springs: Big Willow (6:50 - random weather): 12 laps
Special Stage Route 5 Clubman Reverse: 17 laps
Spa-Francorchamps (9:00 - random weather): 6 laps

May I suggest we take the Japanese beauty out on more Japanese tracks? I'm mainly asking because I'm quite tired of Willow and Motegi is such a nice track!

 

[daddyo845]

I think it might be because we are doing both Tokyo and Fuji next week

 

[KingKlingeling]

I bet this disappoints @KingKlingeling

yeah ,I love this car ,but only because I had a lot of practice with it during the past few month
I'm fine with every car instead , I just need 4 wheels and an engine

 

[WarriusZero]

To go back to the track choice question, it's rather because we've just been to Motegi, with the Subaru, and not so long ago also on the shorter layout (I forgot which car it was with) but I'll have a look.

Good racing, nice stable car to drive, unfortunately I made a few stupid mistakes

So didn't feel very competitive

Looking forward to next weeks racing though

[John Wells]

Hi Guys,

Do you have room for another driver?? I havent raced for quite some time so i dont know if i will that quick but im very clean and fair!

If i can make it for 8PM this monday, am i OK to jump in?

psn is bjhartopp

Thanks

 

[WarriusZero]

Have you read all the rules?
I need you to confirm this and then we should be OK for a trial.

EDIT: I like your signature. A lot.

 

[BJhartopp]

Ive gone through the rules etc... happy with everything. Some of the processes may take a little getting used to but i will have a head set on so i can be shouted at easily enough

Looking forward to gettign some laps done... will get the cars tonight and have a little pratice so i dont wipe everyone out on the first corner (joking)

Are there any planned pratice events before Monday? My wife is out Friday night so i get to play as long as i want!

Currently, we are not using audio chat, to avoid any network issues. Actually, it reminds me to ask you: do you have a wired connection between your router and PlayStation?

 

[BJhartopp]

yes, permanent wired connection....

 

[daddyo845]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THE R5!! I had the pleasure of using it in mms and now I've fallen in love with it

 

[John Wells]

I can race today

 

[WarriusZero]

Sorry @daddyo845 , but I will change it. Hopefully you won't hate my new choice.

BJhartopp you need to send a friend request BEFORE I open the lobby tonight (around 7:30pm), or you will miss out.

 

[daddyo845]

Aw man!

 

[daddyo845]

I'm looking forward to this one. It's gonna be fast

 

[WarriusZero]

I did 2 or 3 laps at Madrid and got almost the same time as with the R5, even though I had Comfort Soft tires...

 

[MrWhite1972]

il be there tonight.....at the back

 

[WarriusZero]

 

[MrWhite1972]

Cheers warrius , thanks for setting it up.....car next week is very easy news

 

[daddyo845]

Finally I will be able to appreciate how beautiful the 2000gt is because its a car that's in makeshift shuffle and the group it's paired up against makes it seem like it stinks because it is very slow against the others. I really do like this car though and it looks really nice and its premium
Also btw great racing today. It was nice to change it up with a reasonably fast car 👍

 

[John Wells]

Good racing yesterday, though still trying to get used to my wheel, so was back to front a few times

Great car choice for next week

 

[Sparkz_360]

Good racing last night Fuji was my favourite great two horse race with KKG as usual great car aswell, easy to control and well balanced

 

[WarriusZero]

I did a lot better than I thought I would.

In Tokyo, I decided to try to stick to the top guys without taking any unnecessary risks and trying not to make mistakes. Tokyo is definitely not my favourite track, I feel like I just can't get the flow right. At some point, @daddyo845 and @Third Reign got a bit too close to each other in the high speed chicane and I could tell they were going to go too wide so I went for a slow in/fast out approach, which proved to be a good choice, although Daddyo flew across the track right in front of me, I had to brake a bit but I managed to squeeze through. Not sure how close I got to Third Reign but I didn't feel any contact. 3rd place was quite a gift but I was pleased with my consistency. I was glad I didn't make a mess of turn 1.

At Fuji, there was some very close racing again, I thought Third Reign would fly past me but I quickly realised that I was doing quite ok, especially in the middle sector. He finally got past me, though, and once I was behind, I did my first mistake of the night in turn 1, by braking just before the 150m mark, as usual, but forgetting I was going a bit faster because of the draft, so I missed the corner and didn't manage to avoid Third Reign (apologies for that). In the same lap, he went one wheel over the grass and gifted me 3rd place yet again. I felt bad about it...

In the 3rd race, it looks like some were not going as fast as they could, at first, in the right hander after the bridge. It helped me reach 2nd then 1st place. I'm annoyed I did my 2nd mistake of the night (spin in turn 1) because I could have been right up there fighting for the victory, in an epic 5 horse race. Well, that's what I'm telling myself...
High Speed Ring is definitely not the most technical track but it does its job at providing some close racing. Third Reign did extremely well to catch up with the lead.

@KingKlingeling and @Sparkz_360 did very well again. Next time, we'll make it more difficult for you!

 

[Sparkz_360]

How do you plan to do that Warrius?
