Setlled then! Cyber has a D class tune that seems okay, might be interesting to just run with one tune and make it work for all the tracks, nice and simpe and we could keep one in the garage for folk that drop by.

I have a C class if you want to bump it up a tad? It's silky smooth...I'll put it in the garage and you can look at it tomorrow?

Yes mate, I run a B class with no problems so a C class would be fine. Now to start thinking about a paint....such a pretty car, must take care...

I went stock black over red. It's one of the few I haven't felt the need to paint...

But I suppose if I HAVE to...

Yeah I have the ice blue and cream and think it looks just fine...but a race car must look like a race car. smiley

I have broadened my repoitiore not only do I run into walls I can now flip the car and land it back on its wheels. If I hit a wall while doing this it's an added bonus.

Really enjoyed last night, as always.

Managed to really improve on my lap times as the session went on thanks to a bit of training by Mr.T. Got a clean in the low 1.03's and a very very low 1.02 dirty.

First race managed a win running by myself for the majority of the event so a bit dull (but a win!!!)

The second race saw a lot more of a battle between Fitzy Stevei and myself with a few changed in position usually dues to a terrible line through the first corner. After Fitzy got it wrong coming onto the main straigh I got into 4th and then managed to chase down and catch Stevie in the last 2 laps by trying a completely differant line through that first corner at Iberia (still not sure there is actually a right line through there) got him on the last corner as he ran a bit wide  leaving the door open and a slight touch gave me a 3rd.

Pity that there were not more participants as this is the best, most stress free racing out there.

Another vote for the Healey or even the Super Cortina or the second series!

Another vote for the Healey or even the Super Cortina or the second series but lest keep it in the lower PI ratio as it makes it much closer and therefore more fun.

Or we could just build it into an R1 and lap the Ring for ht enext week...

Oldschools C class  is just right, easy to drive so should keep things nice and relaxed, and fun. Of course being a British RWD it goes round corners without getting all unnecessery about it smiley 

Already thinking ahead...next one B class, then A class S class, Using whatever cars leap out as being slightly odd and fun smiley

Might I suggest for the B class the 66 Nova. 

With the help of Pap I have an AWSOME tune!

We will see on the day, the fun of Knight messing up is always too good to miss, I think last night was one of those Turn ten/MS Live problems rather than mine, few people had issue yesterday.

Nice one mate, I'll pick it up and run a few laps in the hope I may salvage some pride in the last race...

Run a few laps over the last couple of days, not stellar but maybe I will not be so far off the pace this time.

Time to start thinking about the Healey back in time series. Church can I prevail upon you to do the google thing? I just make a mess in an hour and you work wonders in ten mins.

Tracks...lets throw it open. Mid length I think people so post up you choices and I'll pick from them. I want to keep the reverse grid idea as well and we will stick to the six race format. The next series is already bubbling under.

We will go with the C class tune from Oldschool its a grand build and seems to suit most tracks. That way if someone drops in they can grab it from the Garage, can the stateside folk make sure it is in the US garages too?

Scoring was a bit haphazard this time and for this one we will score in a more traditional way...ie everyone gets some.

Apologise Gentlemen,

I was slightly 'over refreshed' due to my attendance a the public house since 12.30pm today and as such i was a danger to all therefore electing to drop out after the fist few laps.

my favorite series so annoyed with myself for taking the final dodgy pint that (according to Mrs Y) has rendered me as much use as a chocolate T pot...

Over and out.

Thanks to everone for making this Knights first series what it was. It was chaotic, at times anything I do is LOL. But marked by good humour, and some close racing.

Don't forget to offer up some track suggestions for the Healy or your just end up with my favorites, the Alps club is in there regardless. Think short, it tends to make for great battles.
