Gutted my VR hung twice, but it was great fun watching the battles in both races. Feel like maybe we should give this car a bit more love as the racing was pretty close. How about doing another mini-series @Redvaliant?

 

[Rich Green]

Thanks for the race guys. I had some short battles in the first race, but was in no man’s land in the 2nd. The car and track combo were great.

Thanks Dan for running the races.
Great first race with Lloyd and Rich was in there too. Second race I added some wing and it was awful, understeered terribly, over 2.5secs lap slower than the first race, couldnt get the hang of it at all.

Thanks guys it was a great evening. First race I Couldn't follow Arthur and Steve but gave it my best. The second race the battle with Lloyd and Daniel was really great!

As Scott mentioned, a mini series would be a great Idea

Thanks for the racing guys. Q1 was very close, i put a lap together in the last minute. The race was very close between Purger and me. I could create a nice gap of 3 seconds but used a bit too much from my tyres in the beginning. I put in some 1:53.xx but it was not enough to hold off purger. He came back with 4 laps to go and we had a nice battle. He passed me with 1 lap to go, in the second to last corner i saw a gap and went for it. At the end it was only one tenth over the finish line, talk about a close finish. I saved the replay because i wanted to see the move, purger left me enough space and i did the same to him in the last corner. Awesome racing!!!

BTW a Mini series is a very good idea. I like the close racing much more than for example the old GT1 cars.

Second race I added some wing and it was awful

This is why I rarely bugger about with the setup!

A 'faster' setup seems to get me maybe .5s, but a 'poor' setup loses me huge chunks of time. I really should spend some time figuring it out more, but I still feel like I have a fair bit more time to find in my driving first...

 

[Redvaliant]

Yeah, great cars all told. I was a little erratic in the first race and then got a disconnect. 2nd race was much better, keeping some throttle on kept the rear in check under braking and I got down to 1.52s after starting practice in the 57s and wondering where the hell all the time was! We will return to these in future and maybe do a little series with them. We still have few cars to get through in the pursuit of trying every combo I think are worthwhile.

As some of you know, I much prefer old cars and H shifting, but we will always include the best of the modern stuff - Modern F1 and GT3s excepted. Thinking about an oval for next week and something totally unsuited to oval racing, we'll see.

One of the trucks perhaps?
