Been running alot of practice laps, and while if im careful I can get some really good lap times in, (or at least I think so) but if I go in hard, that AWD of the RS becomes a little crazy and I just understeer like mad. Maybe its because I am so not used to AWD cars. So hopefully I can be competitive tonight.

What kind of times are you running. We've run enough practice that I can tell you that low 1:31's is about what the fastest times are.
With the handicapping system though EVERYONE will be competitive.
Count me in too! Sorry I missed the first race. I had a Dirt3 league race that started at 9 and they usually don't finish up until around 10:30. We switched our weekday races to trucks and it's not really my cup of tea so I'm going to step out of those Thursday races to join this series. See y'all next week.
Pretty fun races last night. Thanks to everyone who showed up!
We ran two 10 lap races that way if handicaps needed to be adjusted they could have been. I think we messed up there as 1 of us should have moved up one and didn't. A few too many cautions, but that's racing. Next week should be a little better.
Podium finishers in Race 1:

I'll update post two with points standings.
I want to do something with the handicaps. They worked OK, but I need to do something different. I think that if you finish on the podium of race 1 we might have those guys move up a group.
Congrats to shrimp and prebuilt on the victories.
A bit frustrating all the prep time and running well to only finish last and second to last. Between this, the btcc and the Porsche series, its no fun to run well only to get booted with a handful of laps remaining.
Well I had a blast racing. Even if you think I need a handicap lol. I need to get better at tuning, while I was competitive I was also very lucky and managed to keep my nose clean even while battling with Brnt. I do understand the handicaps though lol Brnt was supposed to be slower than me but ended up beating me anyways haha. The racing was awesome, I need to get used to clean racing haha. My only experience is in lobby races where it doesn't really matter about vein completely clean while racing. But I think ill get there. I have the Evora race Saturday night and I did well there too. So hopefully in a few weeks I can be better
Shit Ram as far as I can tell from the second 10 lapper you did a heck of a job racing and trying to run clean. There will always be a little paint swapped and some light bumping here and there trying to make a move or testing the water or just making a person nervous when the racing is close. A little tip when it comes to running behind me, I try to make it difficult for people to pass me, not by swerving side to side but by taking the middle of the quickest line or taking a line away, either inside or outside, but I will give way and a racing lane to run side by side thru the track if a willing racer is to take it and keep thier line also so be ready for me to run wide on a turn or something cuz I will give you the line if your their to take it.. Loved your dive bomb move coming off the back straight you did one heck of a job keeping it on the track after making it even with me bumping at ya through that section. Good stuff!
Oh you definitely made things rough Brnt. Everyone else I passed didn't fight nearly as hard as you did. Lol that's what made me mess up into the shicane. I was so excited that I had finally passed you, that I let my nerves get the best Ofentse. Still was a great race and running behind you definitely taught me alot. My poor controller must have been hurting with how hard I was pushing lol
We will be at Silverstone International next race. Everyone remember your handicaps. We will start from there and adjust if necessary.
I'll look at the tune and adjust if necessary but without handicaps the same Rd Atl tune was allowing me to run low 1:30's at Silverstone International. Either way I'll post it in my storefront under Silverstone international.
I still need to watch both replays but from what I noticed in Burnts video I got into Grim pretty hard when he had an off. Sorry about that Grimm! I remember when it happened but didn't think it was that bad. In the game it seemed like I had no where to go, in the video it looked like I just plowed into the back of you.
We are also going to try and adjust the times and hopefully that will get us a quicker start to things. We are going to shoot for a race start of 9:30. Qualifying BEFORE that and I'll open the room at 9PM.
If you can't be on at 9 to run qualifying laps get with me so we can run laps ahead of time. (I know shrimp can't be on at 9pm sharp so that's one example)
One other thing. Brntguy has created a few race liveries and hundredthshrimp a few custom paints.
I know shrimp is willing to share so I'll post those on my storefront for free. Brnt's liveries may be available on his storefront.
I'm certainly nothing like some of the painters on here but if someone in the series needs/wants something done I'll give it a shot.
If anyone here wants any of the liverys I've painted just ask. I'll gift em over unlocked. I try to do liverys so that it's easy to change colors etc. that way if anyone wants to customize to their liking, it's pretty easy to do.
No worries stewie. I'm finding I'm braking a bit early with these POS pedals than perhaps I need to. Besides I've bumped a few people in my days (really trying to improve that). Looking forward to this week
I just gotta ask this, who rolled like crazy at the start/finish line about half way through the video? That was a roll even Church would be proud of. Hell of a wreck. Also who was the one who 2 wheeled it right after? That was hella controlled. Race looks like it's alot of fun. Too bad Im not sure of when I'll be able to race in it. But I enjoy keeping up with the fun times you guys are having, even if I'm not in the race.

Stewies Head rolled it hard and it was Jimmy who two wheeled it I believe.
We are going to shoot for a 9:30 RACE START so be on around 9pm to run qualifying heats. Remember your handicap and we can use that as a base to set handicaps for this race.
I'm watching a few specific guys this week and depending on how things go for them I may turn off ghosts during qualifying heats for week 3.
Cockpit is the only view I use but I don't understand what your asking? Rips? Like Tears? Maybe placement where rollbar would be?Because I see two open areas where the roof doesn't completely cover the corners, passenger side being quite small. The one on the drivers corner is quite noticeable tho.
how many laps in this series? I'm interested but not sure if i can if its a long race.
We are going to do two heats, approx 35-40 minutes total + prior qulifying heats. Qualifying heats should go faster after the first week.

Here is the Whale Tail promo/rd atl. highlights.

Ahhhhhh love the battle me and Brnt had at the end. Forgot how crazy close it was. Lol
Awesome video Brnt! Thanks a bunch.

No worries. I have determined the cause of my issues the other day was tied to the paint. Thus it has been changed
First post updated with prize info.
The gift car is so good I wish I could just give it away to someone now..gif "1")
BTW remember points are paid based on total number in room. Since race 1 dropped two racers 1st place started paying at 10 points not 12.
1st paid 12 points in race two.

if only 10 laps for 2 heats....i would like to be part of this
Grim was like a magnet, every time I got close I hit him. Grim I promise to give you an arms length this week :-)
Hey guys, looks like a fun little car, I'll be on this Thursday if there is still room to join the series.

nice job on the video, that was cool. I'm going to try to make it this week! If my old man memory holds up and my alarm works.
That finish was pretty close. Almost as close as Shaggy SoCal and I at the same course during the NASCAR night the first night. [img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8211/8411954603_b359ed9b9d.jpg[/img]
RACE DAY GUYS!
We are going to shoot for a 9:30 RACE START so be on around 9pm to run qualifying heats. Remember your handicap and we can use that as a base to set handicaps for this race.

I'm there dude!
Looking forward to it!
Will be there tonight. Does anyone using cockpit view have rips going from left side across the top and down the right side?
Cockpit is the only view I use but I don't understand what your asking? Rips? Like Tears? Maybe placement where rollbar would be?Because I see two open areas where the roof doesn't completely cover the corners, passenger side being quite small. The one on the drivers corner is quite noticeable tho.
