I'm afraid I must withdraw from tonight's race, I managed to break my 3d printed Brake pedal base last night, and didnt manage to get one printed in time for tonight..

A real shame, because, having never driven it before, I now LOVE Buenos Aires Layout #15 in a Mini, what an awesome track for it.

Anyway, sorry I won't be there, I will try my best to make the grid for the next race. Thanks.

Great race again gents, see you next week

 

[Boukâh]

Man, that was fun! Unexpected, but pure fun for shure!

Practiced a decent amount of laps this afternoon, did a few 2:10’s which I was very proud of but couldn’t get it right in quali, happy enough just putting a number on the boards.

What a wicked race! Had some spins but not too many, luckily.

And then it got colder, darker, low hanging sun, straight into my eyes, forgot my sunglasses… And of course some rain, never done that before in any car, let alone a fwd (which I’m still learning to drive somewhat properly) on slicks. Have I mentioned the darkness yet? Oh well, the sun set. No headlights, no lamp posts. And I’m on a single screen 24” and my desk is lit. Luckily I could do the corner turn in’s by memory. Most. I think.

Again, great fun, one learns quite quickly this way, thank you Bram

Thanks guys and thanks Bram for organizing!

 

[H_Belane]

Nice event!

I rode the Mini for the first time. I don't play AMS2 that often either, although it's a great game. Everything went well until the pit stop. I switched to rain tires after the first raindrops and forgot to switch them back after the rain. I then drove the last 10 minutes with rain tires. Result: plus 15 seconds per lap.

Nevertheless great event. I will join again.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Guys that was amazing again. Wish it was Friday everyday! See you next week at ... Silverstone National

 

[James Skinner]

Thanks guys great fun race again and the weather / night surprise was cool, managed to stay on slicks the whole way with a few sketchy moments!

 

[Monkified]

Brilliant race, loved it, see you next week

 

[superpef]

That was a lot of fun. So nice to meet you guys! Hope to see you all again next week!
