My apologies for my late arrival caused by unexpected game update, which seemed to kinda cock up the room unfortunately. I will endeavour to have system running better in future!!

However the terrible driving may take more time and/or the purchase of a wheel. On the upside i did fix the hdmi switch box issue i was having, seemingly the ps3 likes to feel its no1 so you have to plug it in 1st to the switcher before adding pc etc etc, or else it spits dummy out!! These sony things are so picky eh???

How did the race go guys?

so choked about my cable we didn't get it back till almost 8 pm :(  I had fiddled with my setup before the race and found a good setup that would have allowed me to be competitive.  Ah well next week I gotta make some points up hopefully

Good chance Im not going to make it tomorrow.  However, for those that do make it to the race, do we know how many laps and what the current handicaps (Ballast) everyone has?

Iam not sure if I'll make it either, like church I've been a bit burnt out of late :( 

i haven't even seen any results from last week so I have no idea who has ballast, no idea about laps.  I haven't run a lap all week but iam assuming this car/track combine will be a bit odd since this track suites high power vehicles....I'll guesstimate and say mid 2min laps so 11-13 laps if were aiming for a 25 min race. 

My .02 for the race, with church on a break, a few guys missing, no race info or host yet we should consider postponing for a week or 2?

I would be ok with this also as I really wanted to run at Spa.

I think Kurupt and Grimm are spot on postponing for a week or 2 is a great idea.

Got friends over to watch football so the beer will be flowing. :)

Since I cant race this weekend and its Spa were talking Parcells fully supports a minor postponement.

So is this being postponed? Seems a sensible idea with so many unable to race bearing in mind there is only 6-8 guys in the races i have been in?

Im assuming we are running 10 laps per race.  I have run some test sessions and 10 laps takes around 25 and half minutes to complete with a pit stop.

Thank you. Unless I haven't been paying attention too well it seems softs are consistently becoming the best strategy when multiple compounds are available to choose from no?

Cheers lads.

The constant stupid mistakes I do (Like not knowing where the fucking pits where) keep killing me.

Apricot Hill next week. Both race are in the day too!

Lost FFb and got disconnected on the the last lap :(  and to top things off my PC isn't working now......think  it's time for a longer than expected break from racing.

cheers guys and congrats to today's winners

Congrats Parcells on the wins.  Well deserved!  Kurupt, I wish I had some advise for you and your wheel.  It sucks that you are having issues

Also had some geographical issues as lost pit entry on race 2 and erm actually forgot i needed to change the tyres....., on the upside having a wheel for the ps3 is much better. If only Logitech wheels worked on the 360....

!st podium....somewhat offset by fact only 4 finished but hey am claiming it lol
