Thanks for the tag! Unfortunately Wednesdays are no good for me but I would really like to be more involved and race more, so will try to remember to keep checking the calendar. These tags every now and again are a good reminder that I should be doing that more often.

 

[Kresh]

Thanks for the tag @Medilloni, I can only put my self as a maybe for the moment because I wont be in the city on Wednesday not sure if I will be back in time for the race. Fingers crossed, I have never driven this car before but it sure looks great and it probably is.

 

[JeroenH]

Thank you for the tag. I will race with you!

Maybe @dynz will join as well.

See you tomorrow!

Thanks for the reply Chris and glad you see the tags as a friendly nudge, hope you can find the time when it fits

Have put you down as a maybe Kresh, hope you can make it if I can get a reasonable setup I'll post it here if that helps (though standard is very good!).

You're welcome Jeroen, and thanks for tagging dynz!

Sorry about that Andreas, look forward to seeing you next time though

 

[Nuno Rodrigues]

oh, this is not fair
cant make it at this schedule. Too early for me. What a shame...
Have fun

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Regretful sign out. Sorry John.

 

[iwn]

Car and the track are irresistible so I'll drive at least qualifying.

Good man Ismo, you're in

 

[Kek700]

I’ll give it a go John please.
Another car I find mystifying, Zandvoort is a circuit that also mystifying to me.
But will have a go to make the up numbers,
isn’t that good of me.

Thank you Ernie, I really appreciate you signing up, if I'm honest, I have no idea how Craig figured out his amazing combo's of old and new stuff, he's a genius in keeping so many happy - pleasing 'most of the people most of the time' is a hard act to follow

Like you I really struggle with the track so, racing apart, would value your opinion on the attached setup, and to maybe encourage others for this event.

Thinking about GTE/2, GT4, for the next event, though all suggestions really appreciated here or by pm.. it's your place after all

 

[Kek700]

It really humbles me when I try and understand what day, what car, what track, what time, there just does not seem to be a formula that works for certain.
It should be obvious. Shouldn’t it.

I love the randomness of all of this system, not knowing which track car combo that is going to turn up.

Will give your setup a go, put a fair bit of thought into this car, it is such an easy car to drive, struggled to go quicker than standard setup, which I always returned too.
Fine car for close racing though, in the end got a setup just to make me feel as though I had not wasted an hour of my time.

I've never thought of myself as an addict before now, but I need a GT fix & lots of 'em.

GTE/2 Watkins Glen...

GT4 Watkins Glen Short or Mosport...

Count me in for tonight's race please - I might struggle to make the qualy, but I should be there for the race.

Is there going to be a GT3... race this Sunday?

Haha, yes I need any GT fix badly too - and only the other day I'd tried GT4/GTE/2 on a few tracks, Mosport being one of them... didn't need to do Watkins 'cos I love it with any car

Thanks for the suggestions, for next Weds I'll put up a thread tomorrow for GT4 @ Mosport

Regarding Sunday's GT3, I've not heard from Joel since I heard he was poorly, I have messaged him - though in the meantime the amazing Mr @Denis Betty is trying to get some info into my thick head to run something for this Sunday, dunno if it's too late but worth a try.

Oh yes, and you're on the list, thanks Patrick

 

[marek2209]

Please sign me up for this, I had enough of racing detox
Thanks!

 

[Kek700]

@Medilloni

I would know your setup blind folded John, very good this one is too, I could see straight away I was quicker.
all it needed was for me to dumb it down a bit for my driving, increased power coast to tame the rear for me.

Haha, not sure what you mean Ernie thanks for the feedback After I posted it, I tried it again with slightly softer rr springs, same lap time, less lively but a wee bit soggy.

Did try to get rid of the power-on understeer (in some places), though I should know by now, with the engine in the wrong place 'n all that....

...before sims
