I see that little NSU has just been released. It looks like a complete heap of crap to me, but seems to have all the beta testers rather excited. Might be worth considering it as a contender for a car on some of the smaller tracks Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: phspok on February 19, 2016, 12:51:25 PM +0000 What's wrong with the track? I think the M1s work well here ???
Tried the NSU at Norisring, and it's quite fun. too slow for serious racing though. I would need a lot of prodding from members to run an event on here with them. I am waiting for the GTO cars to be released, niow they wil get some air time :thumbup1: Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: mr_belowski on February 19, 2016, 12:57:20 PM +0000 Turn 6. Turn 6 is the worst corner in motorsport and even thinking about it makes me want to throw myself out of the window

I am waiting for the GTO cars to be released, niow they wil get some air time :thumbup1: Norisring isn't really the best track for them as these cars are all about carrying momentum through the corners. Just had a quick race at Bathurst and they are seriously fun on this type of track and very convincing. Remind me of racing the slower cars in GTL/PnG which always produced excellent racing. Gotta be worth at least a fun race or two? Looking forward to those GTO cars also. Back on topic; M1 should be a lotta fun here but I'm always carp at Laguna ::) Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: mr_belowski on February 25, 2016, 02:59:36 PM +0000 Managed to get 20 minutes practice in today and I appear to suck :(
Still, should be a laugh :) Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: phspok on February 25, 2016, 03:25:03 PM +0000 Would not be surprised if your pace is still better than mine ::)
Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: spanner on February 25, 2016, 06:54:15 PM +0000 looks interesting, will be joining. Hated the car at Hungary will be an interesting comparison.

well done to podium guys. Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: goldtop on February 25, 2016, 09:10:32 PM +0000 A surprise win :) Felt like I was hustling the car round in a lower gear than I should have been in but it seemed to do the trick. Looked like a very close battle behind.
Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: mr_belowski on February 25, 2016, 09:11:24 PM +0000 Fun race for me too after I managed to stop screwing up. Brilliant scrap with Eck for the 2nd half of the race - properly exciting. The touch out of T1 was completely my fault Eck - you deserved the position, not me.
Anth - what's with all the bumper-cars at the start? Straight into the side of me when the lights changed, then a big bang on the run into T1 Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: Anty on February 25, 2016, 09:17:01 PM +0000 Hey Gents
Nice race, well done all, John good scrap yet again Bru, Jim, didn't mean it, I did not even see you, you must have been in my blind spot. Sorry for that Champ. Really didn't want to bump you, its a very narrow track, overtaking is difficult.. Ant Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: Eck Simpson on February 25, 2016, 09:21:29 PM +0000 Brilliant scrap with Eck for the 2nd half of the race - properly exciting. The touch out of T1 was completely my fault Eck - you deserved the position, not me. I had no idea who was at fault and we were having such a great race, I didn't want that to be the reason, I got the position. I thought it better, to cede the position and continue with the fixed grin I'd been wearing... lol. Great race sir. Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: phspok on February 25, 2016, 09:23:32 PM +0000 And I thought it best to get out of both your ways... :whistling:
Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: spanner on February 26, 2016, 06:26:32 PM +0000 Not a car that suits me i'm afraid. Too much understeer and oversteer, even wacking the suspension as hard as i can go it still would bite me.
Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room Historics Series - Laguna Seca - Feb 25 Post by: Greg Metcalf on February 26, 2016, 08:12:55 PM +0000 i had suspension on softest all round
