lol o right well he beat you so you decide plus he fcked up our lap times too.

Seeing as he beat me thought it'd be unfair of me to kick him purely for my sake

I'm lost with all the settings and type tyres, think I'll have to read the manual and ask my brother mechanic for some advice.

rrevving the crap outta it is a bad way to start i think

So is my traction control being at 5 one of the reasons I'm so slow? I'd start on pole and with 50m 2 or 3 cars could be past me. Although that could be my start too...

Definitely TC didn't help. I drive with no TC in Golf and Zonda, but need to be careful with accelerator, especially with Zonda.
Great fun lads. Need to pick up different track and car suiting it. Golf wasn't great for this high speed track

Yeah too much wheel spin I imagine. Ah well next time.

robbie_998

peoples i have a better idea ! (oh yes... very surprising !)

why don't we just use that race as a warm up for the championship just as something for us all to get used to the game and what we'd be doing.

like a bit of a practice ?

our next race will be proper serious ?

and maybe one day 24hr le mans ! :pac:

Yea I expected the Golf wouldn't suit monza. Thought it'd be too late to change. I'll learn for next time.

Hopefully we'll have a nascar race lol oh thatd be a tight one lol

That would be interesting!


I don't think you need traction control on the slow cars like the golf. Although on the zonda i always turn it on. Have to start practicing without it.

I seem to get decent times when I'm on my own in a race, but as soon as I'm dicing with someone I take a stupid line into a corner and brake too late and end up in the gravel! No composure.
Two 5 lap races is a hell of a lot better than 1 ten. That first chicane in Monza is a laugh, 1 lap races there would be fun

Cool, good idea of offering it as a prize. Assuming you can't sell it for cash in the game or you would have done that. There's loads of €20m cars that I want a go of.

tonydude

Ive got these to work with:

Ferrari F2007
Suzuki Escudo Dirt Trail Car '98
Toyota Minolta toyota 88c-v Race Car '89
Chaparral 2J Race Car '70

Ye can pick from the seven to make the prizes i dont mind,

MuddyDog

Sound man Tony

Was looking at replays I saved from racing last night. Some nice tight racing in some of it.

From the replay it says I was using comfort soft tyres.... I was sure I changed to Racing softs. I feel slightly better about my slowness last night :rolleyes:

Anyway I might upload some photos from it later nothing fancy.

Round 2 European Touring Car Championship 2011

Tuesday 21.00 18-01-2011

Qualifying @ 20.30

Race: x2 5 lap races (Reverse Grid in 2nd)
Circuit: Nurburgring GP


Car: BMW M3 Coupe '07


Restrictions:

Damage Light
Penalties Heavy

Once again I'm not sure if the name I've put is the one in the online garage as I'm not in front of my PS3. If someone could confirm for me that'd be great.

This Race Championship is still open for newcomers. If anyone is interested. I say we could allow another 3.

If anybody has any issues with the circuit or car let me know. The car and circuit should suit one another better this time.

Good work Aussie.

Looking forward to this next week.

tonydude

Oh should be a good one

twinsen

Guys , is it possible to set up staring grid the way that the guys from top of the list could start from the back this time?

Doc_Savage

Can you please set the type of tyres allowed in the server to ensure everyone is on the same tyres...

Think there's a big cut possible on the last chicane but the heavy penalties should keep that in check!

You mean people who on top of the points classification be at the back? Don't think so. Unless we did it ourselves somehow but would be tricky.

Yea I was thinking. Unless we go for another track... There is also another version of this track does it include the chicane?

tonydude

leave this track, if you go off track to gain position the penalty will come in, it doesn't matter.
