I'd love to sign up, but the time is one of my least reliable now.  Looks like I'd be one of the minority showing the California some love.

Poids you know I'm only happy when I'm bitching and moaning, so the California will be perfect for me.

I did a few laps on the Alps got 1.52.4 clean, you can go quicker if you go wide on a few corners but it will dirty your lap.

P.S I chose the California because I'm not a pussy.wink

Keep it steady. Driving them at the limit results in lots of potential to bin it.

Also, Alps tends to be little used, and its one of those where bleeding speed off by just staying off the throttle instead of aggressive braking, can pay dividends. Momentum is everything here.

Alps Festival, right?  I had 152:xxx with both cars.  As much as I would like to show some love to the Ferrari, since I'm already at Level 50 affinity on Ferraris, I will run the Maserati and show them some love instead.

Alps festival reverse!

1:52's are quick in these.

I've only run the track to check room setup, but I don't think I broke into 1:51!

As far as the Maserati, I actually prefer it overall, but I think that is an engine note

thing.

Cheers for that gents. Enjoyed running something for the first time. yes

Thought there was some close stuff, and found it really hard to hold the car together in the main race.

Results up shortly. Initial thoughts are that there are no HC's in FM that can contain GuruChurchZenMeister wink

Thought folks improved massively across the race.

Predict interesting times on the Green Hell.

Well, two laps on the nordschleife.

The California is very hard work.

I think the maserati might enjoy a 4-5 second advantage here.

Oh - results posted.

Hoping Gizzie, Squared and Gizzi make it this week. Go privateers!

Hey 204E,

sometimes real life isn’t a friend of the virtual life. Business, work, private issues and personal situations can change suddenly and therefore all the planning and all future stuff has to be changed too.

I won’t often be online in the next weeks. No time for training and racing for me. So I withdraw my racing in the “La Quattro stagioni” and - that hurt’s - in the Clio Cup. If there will be an open spot and if I am online, I will try to race as guest driver, but not as regular racer.

I almost knew, that I will miss three races during the summer holidays, but there won’t be enough time for me in the next weeks either.

Sorry and I wish you all good luck and much, much fun!

I will miss you all and will come back, if time allows me to!

Promised.

JDANKERT

Always welcome JD. Hope RL eases up sometime.

I think we might run 2 laps in the sprint. Let's the field shake out a little. See how it looks later.
