No problem.

Lobby re-opened!

 

[Sparkz_360]

Forgive me... I didn't know how to upload it from edexcel itself

Anyway thank you for everyone who joined me tonight, definitely going to do this more often, races were immensely fun especially the last race thanks to @tarnheld!

I'll prepare another event soon (probably tonight ) thanks again!

 

[tarnheld]

Phantastic car choice @Sparkz_360, tricky but not as scary as some other RUFs. The battles with @Sutsagrd at Silverstone and you at Trial Mountain were awesome! Thanks again for hosting, good job! :tup:

 

[Sutsagrd]

The Ruf improved through the different tracks.

Without traction control which comes on these cars (and porsche) normally, the old adage of slow in and fast out is the way to go to get the weight transferring from rear to front then to rear again!!
Brilliant fun when it works. Disaster when it goes wrong.

I was really slow first corner of silverstone so tarn caught me up and got me on the final lap!
Daytona was great but can't believe how chuckable the RUF was around TMR!!
Although I lost out I was quite pleased with myself to have battled sparks over 2-3 corners without taking myself or him out in the process.

Thanks sparks for hosting. Great fun.

This 2 tonne (1855kg) beast will be scary to drive.

How do you turn it blue @tarnheld?!

I use the Event Time Announcer from timeanddate.com to create a link for time conversion:

When finished press the green "Show result" button and select and copy the URL from your browser:

Then i select the date and time and use the Link button:

Hope this helps! 👍

Powerglide!

Another plus of the El Camino is that it can transport an engine hoist and tools to your parts dealer so with just two persons (and a dog) you can do an engine swap right on the parking lot and take the old engine back to your home:

Chevrolet El Camino SS 396 '67

48 minutes to go. : )
It's my sisters birthday today so I'll race an
all white Camino in her name with the number 4.

Great races, great battles! Thanks for coming! 👍

El camino es arduo! Besides the controversy if it is actually a car or rather a driving mattress on ice, we had tight battles even when the field dispersed because of inevitable offroading here and there. Three different top scorers this time! Congratulations to @bloodyboyblue who took the overall victory with just 2 points ahead of @Sparkz_360! :tup:

Hope to see you all next Monday in the M5!

The FR BMW's are fun to race, especially with tuning prohibited.
Wish I could be there. But I'm here waiting to see Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp...
