UKGTL Power and Glory V2.1 Mod Test - Goodwood (Circuit) - Apr 13

[pribeiro]

Thought we were going to run this race this monday ie the 6th ? especially as no proper race on sunday eve either

Not sure i can make the easter monday as am on the airport run to pick up the missus  :'(

Exactly Mark, this day is a no good day   
WE WANT ANOTHER DAY - WE WANT ANOTHER DAY.....

Good luck with that PR and don't worry there will be more PnG days ahead This isn't gonna change date.

I will be on server Monday night for further testing, I'll try and get there as soon as I can, and Paul will also try and make it I believe. An impromptu ickle race would be nice.


Nice times Legzy, I suggest you try some slower cars So far mid 28's to 29's seems about right but we will know more soon.

[Paul968]

I can't make monday Ian for the usual reason, although easter monday should be an exception.

sub 29s in the 250 are very unlikely for me.

[Mark J]

an 'ickle un-official race monday eve would suit me just fine  ...though if thats possible, why dont we just make that night race night You could even extend the normal practise session beforehand if people want extended testing. Just a thought.

Anyone about today for some praccy lappage ?  Only 1:32s for me so far in the 250GTO. Will try some other cars i think too.

Why do you think we have given people time to prepare a setup and for race? Are you really arguing that giving the undecided just three days (and over the weekend as well) preparation time is the way forward? Its a shame you can't make it but perhaps you could move on now. Ta.

[Mark J]

consider myself 'moved on' you miserable bleeder

Announcement updated with track link now. Ta Pete and Dave.

Think I'll need to batter you on Monday to cheer me up MJ 

[Mark J]

hehe, whatever makes you feel better Ginsters 

1:31.5 in the F250-C  (ton of understeer followed by power oversteer)
1:30.0 in the E-Type 5spd  (refined and fast)
1:29.1 in the Cobra roadster (a blast around here)
1:30.8 in the Vette C2 Z06  (great fun drifting through the corners but understeer costs it in two corners).

Enjoying the E-type and Cobra around here, feels really racey unlike the Fezza which feels like a chore.

Anyone see the Goodwood Revival shown again on ITV4 yesterday? Puts you in the mood for the race here. One of the grids had pretty much all the cars we use here 

[Jos Verstappen]

sub 29s in the 250 are very unlikely for me.

same, even for a 29-er I have to push pretty hard....

do you guys also feel like driving a rain race?

Yeah, having seen a good few other chaps on the server & their times, I was ready for you to 'upgrade' me 
Moved myself up a class to the Group B Cobra Roadster & go that down to 1:28.6 (+ quite a few visits to the grass )
Also had a brief crack in the Group B Shelby 350 CASC & quickly got mid 1:29's

Going to have a blast on the server now with Ade.

p.s. I too am keen enough to turn up Monday night for a race/practice.

Thanks Ian.
I wish you all lots of fun.

Sorry to poke a stick in the wasps nest  but tonight i noticed one of our drivers struggling a good 4 seconds off pace in their class of car, so i bunged him a setup from my slow Jag to the lightweight 5 speed Jag (didn't go to well) i was running on 80%  diff , after taking the lightweight out for a run myself (my that thing goes low 1:27s) I calmed it down a bit for said driver then  he knocked a good 3 seconds off his time   i think putting the slower/less agile drivers  in the faster and or harder to handle cars starts to look a bit crazy when you think about it unless we can sort out some good stable base setups for the drivers who are struggling with this fine MOD.
  I wanna drive a fast car 

just a late night booze induced thought.

Oh yeah! 1:29.076 in my slow Jag very nice drive don't think i can get any more out of it


                                                        Thanks Ade

I'm not sure thats true. The gents allowed to drive faster Cobra and Daytona appeared to handle them well last time out? True they are faster but trickier to get on right pace? Appreciate some feedback  However, I'm sure we could all do with a hand so some base setups will be handy (I'll put mine in !srou file).
 

[Truetom]

We race at Goodwood, while the server is set to Westwood?
Might we have a practice/pre-race session tonight around 8 pm? 

TT

[Mark J]

server was goodwood late last night TT, so assume it still is.

8pm is fine by me (or anytime from 6pm onwards as missus is away  )

I am still undecided on what car to take, each one i take out around here feels great fun. The vettes feel fabulous drifting through the corners on the throttle
