[Denis Betty]

Welcome aboard, adding you now.

 

[Jim Carvalho]

Hmmm. 2018. You sure you don't mean 1968? I may have to join you anyway. "Rubbin' is racing" or RD rules?

I was the same as you Jim. Heard that the cars drive like "real/proper" race cars and kept meaning to give give em a go, but somehow never got round to it. Bumble talked me into it in the end and I'm glad he did.

Read the blurb on the Steam page for these. They did something with the tyre model and I think it shows. There's no ABS or TC or SC, so you have to drive em yourself. I think they're worth a try mate.

You signing up then?

EDIT: RD rules as always mate, with the caveat of the etiquete requested in post #2 of every Thursday rF2 event thread of course. I'll post below to remind us all and I'll mention it in pre race chat and in voice chat on Discord.

[Michael Rudolf]

Hey Michael, are you not able to join us for this one?

[Denis Betty]

Got it.
Welcome Kresh.

That's a shame. Enjoy your vacation and we hope to see you next week.

Really good choice of car this. It's so rewarding to drive. The stock front damper settings might just kill you though if you go anywhere near a kerb.

 

[Jim Carvalho]

I'm rusty and probably won't notice much about how good they are. I'm in.

This is the bit where you kick my backside all around the circuit IIRC.
Welcome Jim, always great to have you join us mate.

 

[max1966i]

I'll give this a go....

 

[Denis Betty]

I'll give this a go....

Awesome.
See you this evening.

 

[Roland]

@Roland I'll put the server up later today. If you decide to sign up for this event, I promise to give you pride of place on the sign up list.

Thanks Denis! But it'll have to be a very thin pencilled place then.
Tomorrow we have a day out with the family planned, and I highly doubt we'll be home in time. If we do though, I'll jump in. I've already tried the car, and it's brutal around Daytona.


Yes, yes, indeed I've read the OP last weekend, went for some offline testing, and did not check in until today to find out about the track change due to issues.. Nvm, this car will be fun around the Glen too for sure

 

[Dean Maković]

[Denis Betty]

See you this evening.

Or maybe tomorrow evening...

[slideways]

Having a bit of a setback with the spine so I'll be the doped up one Sunday driving down the back...

Hope so mate. One or two more would make it go with a swing.

I hope you feel well enough mate. Don't risk causing yourself more damge though.

 

[slideways]

Nah, doesn't cause any further damage, just hurts. Codeine takes care of that but can make my eyelids somewhat droopy at 4am...

 

[Kresh]

I wont be able to attend the race tonight, unfortunaly I have gotten the corona, ( tested positive yesterday) although I feel better today than I did the last two days, my body is still aching and still have a low grade fever. I thought I might get a bit better to drive tonight but it is not possible.

Have a great race guys and have fun.
