Change of plans.  I was originally going to run a BMW, but after sampling the '06 Honda Sunday, I'm now leaning that way.  I was pretty much a full second faster in it on the default tune than I was after testing/tuning for about an hour w/ the BMW.

I see we're using Skype...cool.  Now I just need to remember my login info.  65

I like the beamers, but I find they just break loose to much on these tracks. Iam sure they can be really competitive but they will also need a lot of love and patience :) I don't know what I wanna run? They seem to be all in the same ballpark with the seat being a tad quicker and smoother on the short track....still have to test the Toledo

Wondered what had happened to you, some tight racing with me being nurfed out of first place by the AI a couple of laps from the end of the first race...good job I use PTT the air turned blue. Second race I just held on to take first with Kurupt breathing down my neck for the last few laps. So added weight for the next one, that should be interesting.

That was a lot of fun!  Did far better than I was anticipating.  Showed up this morning and said eff tinkering with the car.  Went out on the default tune and just focused on finding my way around.  Was rewarded with multiple PBs during qually...finally found some resemblance of a groove.

I actually liked all the AI in the race.  The larger fields and traffic definetely add another layer to the race.

Race 1 - Started on the pole, but dropped straight back to 3rd-4th with a bad start.  Settled into a battle w/ Knight that went the first half of the race til I ran a touch wide and dropped the RR off the track resulting in a half spin.  Recovered for 3rd behind Kurupt.  I would later get by Kurupt when he would run a little wide and set chase after Knight.  Took over the lead w/ 5 minutes left in the race when Knight got shanked by a backmarker heading out of Druids.  Kurupt would close the gap down in the waning laps ending with a drag off the final corner w/ Kurupt on my heels as I jinked through some traffic to get to the line first.

Race 2 - Started 8th.  Definetely felt the effects of the additional weight as cars were taking advantage by diving up the inside under braking.  Opted to run a bit less aggresive and try to save the tires so I had something at the end of the race.  Had a half spin (and slid back into the wall) after running wide in the final corner...dropping my back to 12th.  Had a scare on lap 21 went a got a little tap from a Seat, kicking the back end of the Accord out in a monumental drift.  Somehow I managed to keep in on the track and not lose any positions...just a bunch of track time.  Started working my way up as others had offs/issues.  Ended up finishing in 3rd when it was all said and done.  Sounds like Knight & Kurupt had quite the tussle going up front for the lead at the end.

Thanks again for hosting.  Really enjoyed it.  151

Awesome racing today guys! Like helios I had no idea what I was gonna run till a few mins before the race and just ran a stock tune with a slight brake adjustmen. I figured it was gonna be a 33-35 lap race so my game plan was to try and conserve my tires for the first 25 laps than give them shit for the remainder, looking back I should have started my pursuit on the 20th lap lol as both races came down to the last turns running into traffic :( Congrats to helios and knight on there victories! I screwed up the standings and only got the top 8 recorded, if anyone saved the replays could u please post them or tell me what places the humans finished please....thnx A couple of us stuck around after and talked the shit, a few ideas were brought up.... 1. The difficulty of determining ai from humans Some solutions were to turn your head lights on, and use non real name Gt...one I just thought of was to run the same paints? 2. Mandatory pit to add a little extra realism...everyone will be given a window to pit....I am also gonna try and increase the fuel and tire wear just gotta figure out how? 3. I didn't like the limited time between sessions, rumor is if we host the game rather than the server we can vote to move on to the next session which should give time for a quick break....ill test it to see if it works All and all it was really fun and intense first outing....thnx to everyone who came out! For any new guys that need any game setup tips check out the race 07 guide here. Next sat will be round 1 of the clip cup at the same track, with round 2 of the wtcc at Donnington 2 weeks today! Cheers

Telling the difference between AI and us was a real problem, I could not even get the name over the cars, just wouldn't work so I had no idea half the time and just went on the lines a car was taking. I was thinking the same about paints but no idea how to paint in these PC games, headlights would help know someone was behind but not who was in front.

Yeah pitstops would add something and a short break gets my vote to, but for a first time outing it was a great success and can only get better as we refine it. Now bring on the Clios smiley

I really wanted to race yesterday but it was so windy here from hurricane sandy running up the east coast that my power kept shutting off. I lost connection about 3 times in about an hour of practice. I will see you all next week.
