I haven't brought much of the DLC just because it doesn't interest me that much.  I wouldn't want to restrict peoples options so I some one wanted to run a car that i didn't have then they'd be more than welcome to hos the night :)

I would guess having those sex change ops could be very painfull. So have you started the hormone treatment yet?

Are you going to change your gamertag? MissChurchPro??

You didn't miss much, the ring was quite spaced out. But close for 4 laps if you know what i mean :)

Next week is going to be alot closer :)

Even though I didn't have the best race on the ring I beat my own lap-time by 5 seconds. Getting used to manual+clutch and trying hard to change the way I enter corners. The smaller tracks seem like they're going to be fun ;)

Ok will look into it tonight.. Tourni6 did I see you in a lobby I was in on Friday night where you were watching TheBulldog in a race and then offered him help with a setup? It very well may not have been you, but I saw a GT very similar if it wasn't as it rang a bell when I just read your reply.

aiming for about 20 - 25 laps - may introduce a pitstop for a laugh :)

 

Yeah i was in there, he asked for a few pointers so i was evaluating his driving ready for a Race School session :)  Which reminds me, i need to check to see if he managed to get his full throttle/gear change issues sorted out.  He was dropping HUGE amounts of time, even with flat shifting.

He was using Auto gears I think for that particular race would that have affected that? well that's what he told me as it was his first race with us? You guys do driving school lessons?? I was quite impressed he was doing as well as he did on a track like Road atlanta stuck in Auto in a B class car, always found that you need every rev! lol

Yeah we do offer help for people, as we believe the fun isn't in the winning but more in the racing hard.  Most of us would sooner have 4 hard fought laps and loose than 4 laps in the lead :) More details are in the race craft section.

He can put in some good times, but needed to work a little bit on his lines so that i could get him to start evalutating a corner for more speed.  He will get quicker as i really noticed an improvement in his car control.   Come to think of it, i reckon he wasn't using a manual clutch either! :)

Well that's pretty cool! I will do a race or two with you guys before I decide on whether I need help! I prefer the close racing, in that race, the three of us were just tripping over each other costing each other time, but it was fun as we were battling for position. been in too many races were you end up in the middle of nowhere.. lol

 

I doubt he was using manual clutch no..

hey Tourni, i know i missed the first race but is it still possible to join this series as it seems ideal as a starter series for a slo-mo like me lol.

Also, on Sunday's lesson i was just using manual gears but have since switched to manual gears w/clutch.

Yes, by all means mate - Jump in.  This series is open to any one in 2O4F, the room opens by me shortly before 20:45 and anyone can just drop in.  You aren't slow mate - just gotta learn a few tricks and you'll be up with us in no time! 

 

That was the problem then - The clutch is good for 1 second per lap on a medium sized track, you saw the crazy speed gains i got with each shift! :)

cheers matey, much appreciated.

I'll build the car up tomorrow and get some laps put in as well in readiness for thursday's debut.

I know what you mean about the differance with clutch, you was like a rocket being fired compared to mine lol.

I've just built my Clio with the required parts and I just wanted to double check that the PI should be A532. 

Now just need paint and to tune it :)

PI sounds right but if I can give you any advice; ask Tourni to gift you the tune for the Clio or maybe see if he has it in his storefront. It makes a big difference, unless of course, you're a tuning wizard ;)

Thanks for the reply mate, I'm definately no tuning wizard lol, although it is something that I want to learn. I checked on his storefront but couldn't see the tune on there.

So, Tourni would you be able to send me the tune please mate :)
