I just hope everyone doesn't burn themselves out in the month leading up to the race.
I'm making a push to try and get the paints out of the way early so I don't have to worry about them whilst I'm getting ready to move. Keep your eyes peeled for some spy shots of the Motul Ford Falcons.
Rumor has it that French authorities are looking for a group of "hooligans driving ungodly loud foreign cars" that had broken into the LaSarthe circuit yesterday afternoon/evening. The group had dispersed and disappeared by the time local police arrived on scene. One resident that was interviewed stated "I've never seen a family sedan go so fast!"

I think I've got our base paint complete. Now I just need to get the individual markings done...assuming I don't hear any complaints. It has changed a bit from last night. I'll try to get the event vinyl done tomorrow for distribution to those that want it. It'll be a fairly simple bumper sticker style job.
I got the tune and paint thanks Tourni, I have just finished adjusting paint with my number etc. By the way I will overlook the fact you put a Union Jack beside my name.
Shark & Shadders. I don't have much in the way of paint, unless you like my Tide one, but I can definately help you you with a tune. I'll prep one for myself, and then we'll fine tune it to make it work for each driver. Consistency and comfort will be more important than flat out lap times.

Thanks paps/shark, sorry not going to be much help here as I cannot tune and my paints are basic to say the least so all your help is greatfully recieved, and a good driveable car is gonna be so important to me as a novice I have been struggling with rRWD but I'm getting there.

Hey it's my pleasure! Shark and I were practicing in the car today for a bit, and she seems billy goat stable. I would still recommend you slap on the TCS until you fine tune your throttle control. It's a lot more forgiving of throttle mistakes with it on.
If you want further fine tuning of the car just let me know, and we can tighten it up a bit.
Arrrg just noticed I have to run with a 10% power reduction...like I'm not handicapped enough in yet another hated RWD american muscle car LOL Oh well so much for the last couple of hours practice lets see how much the power reduction slows me...gonna be a killer on the straights.

No no knight - the 10% power reduction isn't a handicap, its there to help traction on these things.
It also creates a GT1, GT2 and GT3 race scenario :)

Heh, well at least 10mph lost on straights, and 9 seconds off my lap time...But I guess I might get some of that back as I am still working on some corner sections...Also I suppose I am only racing others in my class. Oh and those yellow feckers!!! makes that last chicane interesting
Guys - i should point out it will be a single race with 15 drivers we have :)

That was until some pillock tuned up got it sideways, hit the yellow bricks and smashed two armcos and 4 other cars were out of action :D
I do believe this is going to be absolutely epic! :D

are team hasent talked about paint schemes yet.i'm sure we will get around to it . right now i need more speed lol!!!!

Well it was there for sizing, but come to think of it - the irish flag is simple to replicate lol
I'll change my flag to the irish one, can you let me know how the tune feels? it takes a lap or two before it comes alive :)

I will be on later hopefully after the EUSL , it's a Tourni tune I'm sure it won't try and kill me too much.

I was gonna offer help on team paints to anyone that needed it but looking at the teams, I'm guessing you're all good to go!
If anyone needs help I'm available.
Me, S-white and OldSlowFred could do with a team paint for the ford please
I shall pay handsomely
Ordinarily you would, but your team mates are aces sooo....
I'll do up something next day or so, you said Aussie Ford no?
Yes Ford please
GBR/Motul Ford Falcon delivered to Gizzie. Knight's Falcon is due for delivery w/in the next hour or so.
Top man Sherb, I'll look forward to picking that up in the morning.
Oh yes those yellow feckers, you can actually roll a holden from one...
Cant wait for this to kick off lol :D
Team OCS Racing should have a pretty completed car by Wednesday
Ford for us BTW
Church send me a list of smaller sponsors usually associated with these things will you, and is there a number banner?
Base paint done on the #19 Mothers model.
Too late, here's what happened... if it's any consolation, Fitzy already is threatening you on the track...

And , if you ungroup the number plate, the extra numbers are under the plate to use as needed...
I sent plates to Fred and SWhite with their names on them as well. Please send paints to them if you would? Or help them with plates if needed...
Hope this will make you proud on the track, and don't let Fitzy near the keys...
Tourni, could you forward the event vinyl to Shark. I don't have him on my friends list.
Event vinyls sent to : TonyDiamond; RaddoHuey; Tourni; OldSchool
If any other competitors would like a copy, let me know or hit up Tourni if I'm not on your FL.
