I did some hotlapping at Laguna and my fastest lap was 1:41:369. The majority of laps were in the 1:42s though.
I'm guessing this will put me in the Pro range but we will see.
I'll try to figure out the online race settings tomorrow so I can practice at -15% and -20%.
If you want to, send me a FR and if I am on we will run some laps. BTW the room is quite easy to set up: Community > Race Online > Create race > Game Setup > go to "Advanced Rules" > number of player buckets(4) > now go to "Group 2 options" > Power Handicap (-10%) > Group 3 Options > Power Handicap (-15%) > Group 4 Options > Power Handicap (-20%). Leave group 1 as is. You can re name each bucket (group) if you want eg: Bucket 1 = Amature, Bucket 2 = ProAm etc... In each bucket you can set the car class and performace index if you like also. I set the performance index to 474, make = Toyota, Model = Yaris. As for group (bucket) 1 I left it in B class but open to any car so if I am practicing then all the AI stay in group 1 and run a variety of cars. This lets me change my player group and practice in the Yaris. Hope this makes sense.
I won't be able to join you today for both races. Sadly My Sister-In-Law has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer yesterday and I will be doing hospital duties for some time. Looking forward to getting back whenever that may be.

Sorry to hear that Wheels, hopefully they found it soon enough.
Sorry to hear that Wheels, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Thanks for the racing tonight everyone, and my apologies for the open mic! The batteries in my headset died on lap 8 which blew my race and meant I had to turn the TV volume up!
Being a newbie to online racing learned another valuable lesson tonight! Always put new batteries in your headset before you start a championship race :-D

No XXsitement...still had room left. Where you having connection problems ? Sorry you missed it : (
Race was great fun. Had a couple cautions that bunched up the field. I had some good battles for a bit...little mistakes would drop me back....then it would take a few laps to regain what I'd lost. Looked like the final lap times were very close throughout the field. Was caught in the middle of the 3 Veterans...until I got way too close to Raddo's rear bumper going into I think turn 4 before running up the hill...brakes locked up and I had to make an off track excursion to avoid plowing into him. Remember pushing Armour and Foot a couple times on the long straights. All in all was a fun and competetive. Appreciate the updated tunes each week Kraigger. Also thanks to Armour as I know you've been doing a lot of testing for the series also.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. Wish you and your families the best in the new year.
Yup it was a great race last night, had a great battle going with Ink!! That was the fun part of the handicap system, he would kill me on the straights and I had the challange of trying to find a line through the corners and then trying get enough space between us to make the pass stick down the next straight. Then there where the front 3 sandbaggers, oops I mean guys who where running 42's, hahahahaha. I think they where having a battle royale, by the looks of the distance between them. All in all it was a good time last night. Hopefully I will make it to Mugello, after running 5 laps there I think this maybe an action filled race

Armor...I come to this conclusion after the very first race...The Biggest Sandbagger and the First to want to move you up a category is KRAIGGER!!!

I must not be very good at "Sandbagging" as that is my first win! The only reason why I won the race is becasue I was able to get out front first and did not make many mistakes. I had people (Brntguy and RaddoHuey) on my rear in each race and only got seperation because I did not go off the track and was pushed the whole time.

Lol! No kidding! I have to admit tho without taking the car out with the revised tune onto the track till race nite I was unable to get good times which kept me from moving up the correct amount of spots in handicap. After 3 practices and about 12 laps into the race was I finally able to get the car around the track really well. That helped me pull up to the back bumper of Kraigger and to get some breathing space away from Jimmy. If I remember correctly we all 3 in the front were in proam and we prolly should of all been in pro.Had we moved up one more class I'm pretty sure that all 3 of us would of probably been out of a podium finish by the final lap times. Which were actually pretty darn close.
Maybe! But there where a lot in the 42's and low 43's. The only reason why the three of us got out front is because of the traffic and folks sons where behind us. The times where all close and it was a fun and competitive.

C'mon Kraigger...Fess UP!!!...Check the standings...You are HAMMERING US!

I agree with that!! When you get out front and can run clean laps you are looking good for a win if you are running competitive times. And ya there were some of us caught up in traffic and by the time we made it through, it was done, the gap was to big to put any pressure on the front 3 and hope for them to make a mistake. And Kraigger, this is an amazing series, I am having a blast.
I have raced in every race where as most have missed at least one race in the NA.
If you want I will let you choose what group the racers should be in the next race. I try my best to make the room even (including myself). I don't sandbag and I race hard each practice and each race. I am not in it for the credits nor am I in it for winning (as some are). I do this for the fun and social of it.
Easy brother we are just having fun with ya! It's all in fun and man I know I'm having fun! This series has been a blast and I'm glad ur running it and although I know better to say this, but your doing a great job.

Second That Burnt...Kraigger has done a Outstanding job with tunes, paint and being fair. Only negative I can think of is he has onion skin..Too Sensitive..Got to Lighten up with this gang!

Gentlemen
I won't be able to join you today for both races. Sadly My Sister-In-Law has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer yesterday and I will be doing hospital duties for some time. Looking forward to getting back whenever that may be.
Sorry to hear that Wheels, hopefully they found it soon enough.
Thanks Armor. That is a big help. I'm pretty confident I would NOT have figured that out on my own. ha.
I always wondered what a player bucket was!
I"ll send the FR next time im on.
Sorry to hear that Wheels.
Prayers to your family from me! Hope all goes well and it can be removed or treated. Hope to see you on the track soon ! good luck and god bless!
Really sorry to hear that Wheels, I hope all goes well and they got it early enough. I will miss you on the track.
Sorry to hear that wheels prayers with u and family. I would like to join tonite is there a car and tune I could get plzz
For the car go to Kraigger75's SF and look for the Laguna tune, should be the top Yaris (B474).
Priorities...... Congrats on the anniversary.
On a side note: Looks like the points in the EU division are about to tighten up with the top 2 out for the night.gif "4")
No worries Mapo! It was fun racing tonight and I am sorry for your headset ruining you race.
Sorry to hear the news Wheels. Hope they caught it early, prayers go out.
DAMN!
Sorry guys. I have to bail out last minute. Pissed cause this is my favorite track.
Tried to get in on this, great tune for Laguna. Was the room full last night?
No XXsitement...still had room left. Where you having connection problems ? Sorry you missed it : (

Thanks for a fun race last night guys!
Both times I've raced this series, I've managed to finish second last :) Maybe it's time I took advantage of that racing school!
Having the different classes really makes teh competition great. One mistake and it's anyone's game.
