I didnt add weight for either races....lost my standings sheet for race 1 and took a bathroom break before race 2 and didnt have enough time :)

I dont think the ballast is working properly it seems to come up on everyones screen that ive added 55kg? the most ever added should only be 45kg....it also deletes the weight if a session gets restarted.  In all honesty i dont think the ballast has been added for 3 or 4 races now due to technical issues and restarts.

Race 2 i took out my frustration from race 1 which was a disaster, spun out once battled all the way back to 2nd on knights bumper we both entered the pits and i didnt confirm my settings for 45 secs and took a 1.04 total....race over!

Race 2 once i spread the gap a bit i was trying different lines trying to hit the 58's with no avail and almost crashed a few times when i decided to just stick to my normal line.

Brands Hatch GP is gonna be a great high speed track!

Wow no ballast? Then I don't know what the fuck was going on, because my breaking points from race 1 and race 2 were completely different. Maybe I was just too exhausted from race 1 or something.  Either way it was a great race weekend.

My pedals are here and I love them. Kurupt, what is your brake sensitivity set to in race 07 and what do you have dial on the pedals set to?

Dial is set to 5 and brake pressure depends on the car usually 85-95%

Thanks, I will give that a go. These are a big change so they are going to take some to get used. But so far I am enjoying them immensely.

Got in about 40 mins tonight at brands hatch.  By the end I was consistently getting 1.36:1's with the new pedals. With my old pedals I was in the 1.38's. I haven't loaded that XD mod/plugin yet, but hopefully I can get that loaded soon.  I am amazed how much faster a load cell brake makes my driving. I knew they were an improvement over pots, but didn't think it would that big of a difference.  Sooooooooo glad I pulled the trigger and bought these!

Final race of the season tomorrow!  I can't believe it is almost over. Also I can't believe how close we all are.

Kurupt CDN                         253
KnightOfRedemption        226
helios16v                             214
Neverender158                  211
ChurchPro                          204

3rd place is pretty much up for grabs between helios, neverender(me) and church.  With so much pressure I am sure to cock up nicely and crash myself out.  Even second place isn't determined yet, and it looks like mathmatically 1st isn't locked down either.  Should be one hell of a race. 

I also just wanted to say how great this has been.  I appreciate all the work Kurupt has put into this series, and everybody else for showing up and driving hard and clean.  Racing with you guys has really improved my racing and I am still learning so much from all of you.  I am also glad to see the next 2 seasons also setup. 

Thanks again everyone and see you on the track Saturday!

Yes that 3rd place looks very nice 7

Loved every min of this season!!

If it wasn't for this season I would have given up on PC racing. The first race I did this season really was the decider. If I finished I would carry on. If not I was done! Glad I finished smiley

Thanks Kurupt

Yeah, or better stll CSP V2's but have my car sitting in the local garage waiting to be repaired and that is going to cost a bit...so I have to make do. Mrs Knight has said as soon as we can she's okay with an upgrade so maybe in a couple of months.

In a slight situation.

Having 2 new beds delivered today for the kids.

I have destroyed there old ones and removed them plus emptied there bedroom in preparation for the new ones. It is now 16:37 and the new ones are not here yet.

As soon as the new ones are here they require building and then there bedroom putting back together. As such it is looking extreamly unlikely I will get everything done before race time so may not make it tonight.

Been pissed of is an understatement.

As much as I want to try and get 3rd place, it really won't mean as much unless church and Helios show up. I really do hope you can make it. Be a real shame if you can't. Good luck!

Well it was a easy win in the first race as Kurupt and Never just didn't get into the grove, second race was a real nail biter in the first half, Never right on my rear bumper the whole time, I dived into the pits at about the halfway mark hoping Never would stay out and I might get a breather and a decent out lap, he did...then race 07 lost focus and dumped me to desktop, I heard my car crash into a wall as I scrabbled for the mouse...so that put me last with a 38 sec deficit.

So you win some you lose some

congrats to todays winners and foor those that turned out this season, to say the least i had a few issues......mostly was a lack of skill glitch that was effecting my times in every corner lol

sorry the season wasnt well organized lol still learning the features, so thanks for being patient  just a reminder season 2 will return in the first week of may using a new mod by SR2000 :)

I was amazed by how at the start of the season the talent was a bit spread out but by the end it was extremly close which made for some awesome battles......glad to see guys improving well having fun......hhhmmmm neverender, also glad we were able too help you realize when boxing days is lol :)

Yeah I was pretty bummed when your machine dumped to the windows desktop, I was hoping to continue on with that race.  Not sure I was ever going to be able to get around you cleanly.  I guess it is a good thing I didn't pit behind you, otherwise I probably would have crashed into you on pit road.

I do have to say i was getting really fucking tired of always looking at the back of that green seat. It seems every race I would end up behind you, knight. I just wanted to pass you once and stay there.  Next season I guess.
