So TCM day...Mod is playing silly buggers for some reason that is a complete mystery, but fingers crossed I will get in a resonable performance. Track is fun and I am running solid mid pack times with the stock tune. Tried to tinker, but tuning is not my thing. Still trying to find the best line through the first couple of really bumpy corners, much time to be lost there if you get it just a little wrong.
They were saying the shift light was coming on every downshift as well as the upshifts. The motors just decided they had enough. It's amusing they pretty much let go at the exact same time.
I have Mon off ill try to make the mx5 race!
What's the room called and password ?
I know the cars are stock....are we aloud to adjust the steering lock brake pressure and fuel ?
I think steering lock is all that is adjustable. He locks the fuel in w/ a couple extra laps. I don't know that the mod has adjustable brakes....if it does, you can. But I can't remember.
This coming Monday we will be running the DRM mod (late 70's Group 5 touring cars). The next MX-5 race is scheduled for the following Monday (MX-5 & DRM alternate).
And I've obviously been slacking. Busy at work. Then get home and it's either working on projects (house or car) or sim racing.
But.....starting Thursday, I'll be off work for almost 2 weeks. So maybe I'll finally get around to getting all those race vids posted here for those of yous that haven't been to the GBR site.
I'll probably be there, unless I'm in Seattle. But I don't know that I really plan on going to far this weekend...being the weekend before Christmas and all.
And another note (Knight is going to hate me for this); 12/26 GBR is running a Boxing Day Fun Race using a WTCC 2011 mod for rF1. Race will be taking place at Yas Marina, and will be 2 x 30 minute races w/ accelerated time so the event will begin under late afternoon sun and go into the evening. Yas Marina at night is a beautiful track.
It's the BTCC's this week at Croft, a classic British ciruit...and yes hate hate hate...I would love to be in on that, still on a more positive note if more GBR folk find the TC fun maybe they may join in here and we can ditch the AI. Or at least reduce them.
I make it a point not to push any series. Most of the guys will try to attend if it's scheduled and they don't have any prior commitments. With something going on everyday now, a lot of guys are just picking half dozen events and focusing on those.....especially with the ferocity of competition in V8SC. You've got to put in some seat time if you want to get in the top 10 anymore. Which doesn't bode well for guys like me that just like showing up an hour or so before the race to learn the track.
I'm actually sitting 5th in points right now, which is a bit surprising.
You do right mate, I have pulled right back as I need to put in the time if I want to be even a decent mid runner. Just hoping maybe a couple might find they enjoy the cars and whant more :-)
Feel free... tis not my vid to say yes or no as its a Promo from The US Pits (creators of the Mod).
Cheers!

Awesome VID!!
Why do the cars explode near the end?
Flogging the car unmercilessly.
