the gears shoule be stock but you can adjust the FD to shorten it if you find it abit long. 

 

I will stick a quick replay on my SF later to show the lines i'm taking. most of them are about keeping close to the inside using the throttle :)

 

Honestly, Raw pace doesn't count for much in an hour, its about keeping it off the walls and consistent.   Its much faster! :D

Keep off the walls and you will be quicker. Who says Tourni doesn't give good advice.

 

Hey... it works aswell laugh

Pace doesn't matter if you flip it on it's roof at Tertre Rouge at the start of lap 2 like I did. Lol

I've nearly flipped it a couple of times, not to mention hitting the "tourni" bricks and sending the car sideways numerous times :)

I ran a 800 PI around the track while the guys were practicing, 8 laps or so, and took advantage of the track time in that particular car to work on consistency and smooth acceleration out of the tight turns. Ran some sub 4.00's and greatly improved my confidence in quick exits/running through the gears with it. Helped a lot! And I had 583 credits of damage total at the end. I think I hit a yellow brick somewhere once...not sure.

Tourni, I realize this event is a month or so away but I was wondering if there will be other Endurance events in the future.

Gizzie and I have planned for a monthly or bi monthly endurance event :)  

 

Depends on numbers though, multiclass endurance is really good fun.    I remember running the integra round silverstone whilst a viper, lambo and some thing else all came hammering it by inches from me. 

I'll organise one of them soon :)

I have an idea brewing... R3,A,B  or S, C,D  intersting - Free build but selected cars i think.

Sounds great! Ive been driving a lot of R1 cars lately and have to say, they are lots of fun. Shame really they are not driven as much. Im interested in anything you might come up with. Well, I am off to flip my CLK GTR on the Mulsanne Straight. Lol

I love mixing the exotic sports cars/ race cars with some thing slower but just as much fun.

So much planned but not enough time to organise it all :)   V6 Clios are in the works currently but not for an endurance :)

Like the idea of mixed classes.

When you say "freebuild" do you mean we get to choose upgrades and then tune it. Yes Please, as long as I get to tinker with your builds/tunes and see what makes them tick. yessmiley

Yeah pretty much, It will be interesting. - this gets dangerous when reversing the tables :)   The r3 class cars approach at one hell of a speed and its extremely hard to judge when hitting brake zones lol.

It was doable, certainly.  But i think people had more fun seeing Aliens hooning by round the outside of corners whils tthey had their own battles going on :D  I loved it :)

If you wanna reverse the tables a bit, I have a S class BMW Z3(4?) GTR that is quite civil to drive, and the aliens can drive B class Mustangs or something.. angel

I do have a social life, albeit a rather dull one. Therefore I will not be back until around 2am and will be in no fit state to do anything other than trip over the dog enroute to my bed.

Will be on tonight for a bit possibly if there is anyone around.

Think I better raise a caution now. I've actually been on enforced bed rest since visiting the doc on Monday. Looks like a virus. I feel like totally shit, sweats, chills and dizziness. I managed a couple of laps today but I came away shakey and soaked. As it stands it might be too much. I will call it on the day. If it is at all possible I will race, but if there is anyone who might be able to sub me make yourself known. If it does not work out, I'll be totally gutted. Really got to grips with the car and track.

Dont worry about not making it though, I'm sure we can sort another driver or just have fun anyway :)
