RaceDepartment.com US Club Practice #36 practice server will be provided.

Drivers, car choice must be in by 16:00EDT Thursday to assure your choice so I can set the server. If you're late, you get what you get. Thanks for understanding.
A message to all Drivers
If you run off track, you have to check and see that its clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.
Golden Rule

1. Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Ford Please your OVERLORDSHIP!

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Again with the red vehicles !@#%& !!!

Here, ... let me fix that for you:

Here is a great article about the active aero Porsche used on the 68 + 69 Porsche 908 at a time when halfcar engineers, most specifically Fiat didn’t even dare to think about aero not to mention ACTIVE aero ;-)

You are welcome.

I want in!

 

[Richard Dastardly]

Scuderia as ever.

@Dirk Steffen ...have you noticed the poster ? ...I see four, yes four Ferrari's out in front and then I see a GT40 ..oh and way way back I see a Porsche. Don't you think its getting a bit much ? I think you should pull Bobby to one side.

 

[Richard Dastardly]

I'm just appreciating how we see more 330s in these races than there were total built

Even if the little red cars could do this (which they can't):

… they still would be just little red Fiats, broken down in smoke by the side of the road wetting themselves with coolant in an oil puddle.

… so @Bobby Pennington:

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Ferrari drivers.
They are cute.
They think women love them.

 

[Neal Ches]

In for this and I'll give the GT40 another go. Such a damn shame that there's a ****ing a shopping mall on top of where this amazing track used to be.

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Ford Please your OVERLORDSHIP!

You've got it your Convictedness.

 

[Richard Dastardly]

That looks far more like something you'd see on German TV though. Vorsprung durch Übung?

Yes, Audi drivers have some very peculiar chcaracteristics in common with Ferrari drivers, take the cheesy sunglasses for example.

This could very well be indeed a piece on Autobahn Raststätte (parking lot for breaks on highways), cramp and stress reliving exercises dedicated to Audi and Ferrari drivers from the early 2000’s ;-)

sad Kunos nerfed the Ford so much , i guess they needed to help the Porsche be competitive instead of it being schooled like the real days

You mean lucked out at Le Mans like the real days ?
The Ford GT40 Kunos has modeled has it's spec just right after the real '68 + '69 Le Mans spec Ford GT40 that won both these races.

The interim Porsche 908 LH in Le Mans spec was severely under powered compared to the big Ford.

You mean having 80hp and 210Nm more at tap with the Ford is not enough for you to win outright at Riverside ?

Spec wise the Ferrari is the dominant car from the three for Riverside - we shall see if the iron Ford or The Zuffenhausen Beauty Queen shall win over Italian mediocrity.

Tariq & Eugene had a massive battle last time until Tariq did something silly like fall off the internet, they're much better matched than WG. I spent the last 9 laps stuck behind Lucas Gerlich's 908, just couldn't quite stick a pass under brakes ( 908 is rather lighter than the 330, remember ) & it's very easy to block at River. Should be interesting.
