Wasn't going to do this one as I don't like the track. But hey, why not have a go
Give everyone else BoP weight and let me have the fastest one John. (Don't tell anyone)

 

[Denis Betty]

Looks like fun.

Welcome Henry, you're in

Thanks for your PM Ken, as agreed I've added 150kgs to everyone else, and thanks for the £50 bank transfer. Please don't mention this in the main thread

You'll love the car Ken... as std it understeers so it's fairly safe, shed loads of grip until you hit the limit, and even then it's predictable. Have a fun race matey

Looks like fun.
Sign me up please John.

Glad you're joining us buddy, in, so you are

Class car! Tried it out earlier. Should be a good evening fun Has a hint of a tarmac rally car feel to it

You're in Brian, welcome

Yeah, it does have that feel to it, and playing to front or rear power makes it easy to find your driving style imo.

Have been tempted to do an event with the Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 or Toyota Celica 4wd Turbo @ Thomson Road or similar but always chickened out (low signups in the past)... maybe one day, a mad Thursday event for those that like it maybe?

Edit: We had an event with the Audi at Bridgehampton which was insane, crazy fun, so anyone reading this pls register your interest!

 

[Interslice]

I was already in john!

I'd be up for any of the old group B cars

I'm following you blindly and have great faith in your combo picking skills

Is Thompson Road a rally track? Dirt?

Also, what is the standard shifter method in this beast?

You can use any shifter George, the original car was H pattern tho obvs you can use what you want. The event we had at Bridgehampton with the Audi was incredible, one of the best I've seen/been in.... what a beast. At least that's what I thought until I tried the Shelby Cobra there today, just keeping it on the road is ridiculous, wheelspin in 3 of the 4 gears ...but fun

Thomson road is a very old GP track, and again, whilst trying combo's today, the Toyota ST185 Turbo was amazing (the Audi takes off big time on the straight... Armageddon springs to mind).

Edit: Ferk, just saw Patrick's post

2nd Edit: Try out the full Bikernieki track - Denis used half of it for the Lada event and that was very good, though for the Audi and Toyota on the full circuit is a brilliant match imo. Maybe get some practice in...

Track looks amazing. Fat Alfie strikes again!

 

[Medilloni]

I'd love to sign up!

Then you're signed up my friend, and welcome

Really important though...before the race tomorrow, please can you use your real name: 1. here in the forum, 2.on Teamspeak and 3. on the server.

The first post has links on how to do all that if you're not sure, and the friendly bunch here will help if you need a hand, so shout!.

Apologies if this sounds like a nag, but if your real name isn't there during the race (on server & TS) you'll get kicked

@Medilloni . John
Can I drop out please, ladder collapsed on me, in A@E all last night.
I will have to miss my sim racing for a while , also means I cannot do my Ballet dancing anymore.
Was Really looking forward to this race, after can someone post some times, I think I may have fooled myself with my time, a reality check would be welcome.

Oh god Ernie sorry to hear that, bloody hell. Were you up high and what's the damage?
Get well soon.

 

[Medilloni]

Good grief Ernie! Hope you have a speedy recovery - and keep us updated if you can?

Until you've recovered well enough to drive I hope you can keep in touch, your banter is part of this place

I'm sorry to hear about your accident Ernie & the added risk of spending time in A&E. Get well soon.

Sounds like you were in the midst of a rich vein of form too - just to set the record straight, I didn't tamper with your ladders . I don't know what the rules are, but if the server isn't full then it might be possible to watch? If not, I'll gladly post the results for you on the simresults site.

Can I hire you as a coach? I need help with my setup. Normally I can hold my own around Mosport Park but I was struggling last night in this car. Any tips on the setup would be welcome.
