Not sure what happend. Was hosting a lobby fine, tried to get into Max's and kept getting the player unreachable. Re booted several times, with different people, same thing. I could get into Snoops room though., oh well
I dont know what happened there Grim, i checked my settings and they are still open
Please sent me a tune for my Ford. Tonite I drove it only with the mandatory build up.
And it would be helpfull to me, if someone will post his times. In February I lost my 2-years-personal-best-times-excel-sheet with over 1000 times for many tracks and cars. My notebook broke down. A real nightmare because "Never change a running system!" I had backups, but not for all and it took 3 days to built up the new notebook. Aaarrgh.
Sent a friend request, Jorm. My Ford GT setup is just ForzaTune for the suspension. I'm not a tuner. I think I'm running Snappy's gear ratios. Anyway, it's working OK for me.
In room A there was enough flying going on that we will soon need a pilot`s license. lol lol.
Yes good racing, I even did get a 1.48.8xx somthing I good not do in practice, in this room it is a must to stay close to the pack . Somthing I will not do in next races is calling a coution afther the pit lane is opend. Doing that just cancels out the handicap,s.
Gents with regard to the cautions rule I have now changed this to only the 1st 20% distance of the race so basically you can only call a caution until the Pits open. I have changed it to this as there have been instances where people are taking advantage of the pits under a caution and are effectively canceling out their handicap. Instead of only the first 3 laps i have decided to allow cautions to the opening of the pits so that if there is an accident where one warrants a caution the pack can still be close at the start of the pitting window.
I have also updated the OP:
5. Cautions will be in place up to 20% race distance (usual caution rules apply). YOU CANNOT pit If a caution is called on the same lap the pits are due to open. The pits will resume use from the next lap.
Cheers gents and see you at Suzuka Next week. Please also remember after Suzuka the first of two point drops will occur so looking forward to see the competition get rather close.
Once again my congrats to my pacifica racing teamate and star driver snoop on scooping 1st place at catalunya. For myself probably my most competitive outing in these cars yet. Tried most of the race to pressure Jorm into making a mistake but he didnt succumb!! Great racing and well done to jorm on his best finish to date as well. Next track Suzuka....o dear.........
Re rule clarification. Would it not have been simpler just to say you cannot pit if there is a cautiion in place, rather than shortening the caution period to the first few laps? I guess the current rule clarification is easier to police that being said.
General: i felt the pressure from you alright. Luckily for me, you didnt get really close. Even if we didnt have some close fights it was some really good racing.
The Porsche is a real monster, that have the power and speed but it probably takes a certain kind of people to like it and drive it. Mainly beacuse of the tail characteristics. One mistake and the tail suddenly becomes the front of the car..
I havnt started the practicing suzuka yet, so i dont know what to expect. But with the characteristics of the car, im probably in for a tough race. :)
Can anyone send me some tunes for any of the cars plzz. Iv just got my rig set back up and looking to get back in to some racing if you have space in room b can't make this Sunday but looking to the following week cheers :)

My av receiver conked out on the last corner :( sorry to thane for the last minute promotion. Good clean racing apart from that. Here's to next week
No worries, Derek. A pit stop at Suzuka is about three or four seconds longer than Catalunya. Nothing wrong with a challenge.
Some great racing in room A.
Very close battle with myself and Drivebye. Last few laps had Jonny, KC and Dave battling up front.
Lots and lots of movement this week competition appears to be heating up in room A . well done to all those who participated :)
The race from the A room, good 3 way race at the end with SuperNovaDave,King Cobra and JonnyFocus.

It was quite an experience to race for the first time since december. Fascinating how much I forgot! I really was struggling and drifting:

Finally I made it to place 8, but the whole race I felt Skiwi's pressure!
