Tried a few laps in the Porsche tonight and it feels nice and settled round here just on the default setup. There's not going to be a lot of braking needed.  ;D

Quali setup on the Porsche 1.06:500

Just finished a short training session, and the RS seems to be on the rails here. With full tank and med tyres 1.06.086 was my best at the moment, but I guess with less fuel during the race, laptimes will surely go down a bit.

Hope to be able to race... Cu :)

just downloaded the gear and done a fresh GTR2 install..... this will be fun!  :)

Lap count now established, 1st Post updated.

I take it you like guns? most of the passwords seems to be guns lol

He's a BF player all right. ;D

Yay thats me just finished downloading the Pre Beta release for Windows 8.
I know what im doing tonight lol.

Awesome quali for me 3rd. then same old me messed up time after time. then lap 30something went off and i think throttle went cos i had none. wheel decided to recalibrate and wouldnt work in the game.

One day I will have an incident free race. Sorry folks

very frustrated. >:(

Had plenty of pace, probably enough for 2nd... but my performance in the 2nd half was awful. I'm off to have a word with myself ::)

steady race for me, was planning on doing just one stop, but rear tyres caught me out by going off quicker than i thought, ended up deciding to make two stops after a couple of spins and getting beached on a curb while limping back to the pits with a puncture, spent the last part of the race trying to catch apextech, was not really catching much then he ran wide so i got past. this must be a really scary track in real life!

Indeed. ;D

I recently got into Airsoft as well.

I don't like real guns, only pretend ones. :D


Good race, Manteos dominated.

I had some good fights lots of fun. See you all next time. :)

Legzy and me competed who will make more mistakes. Legzy won. ;)
Last minute changes never do well. Went into it like a noob I am. Front wing to 4 made the car turn in like crazy and enabled me full speed in the right hander after the straight but the rear was very unstable. The laptimes were a bit quicker but I guess I should have gone for the safety net. I think I'd be in for a pody... :-\ Or close. :) Anyways, crazy cars and a thrilling drive into the blind corners on this map, great stuff. :clap:
Grats pody and all. 8)

I went on my "standard" RS spyder setup, with wing 3-12, and the car seemed to be really fast. Good qualif time allowed me to start in pole position.

The race was a bit lonely for me, even if during the first 10-15 laps, Lazlow kas keeping a good pace. Than I guess he must have had an accident, and I escaped by the rest of the group. Managing to keep a good pace til my pit in lap 37 or 38, but the newbie move was lurking even this time. I forgot to check the tyre wear, cause my laptimes were really good til the end of the stint, and I thought it wouldn't have been necessary to change tyres. Came back into the track with all lapped drivers behind me except H@l, that I could see not so far by me. A few laps after the pit I realized that was extremely wrong not to change the tyres, especially for the rear, and I started to turn very slowly, cause I was risking to lose my car every corner. Considering my advantage, I decided to stay on track with worned tyres til the end, cause a second pit would allow H@l to replace the gap. After some laps I preferred to let Rob Venn, that was a lot faster than me in that moment, to unlap me.
The xd at the penultimate lap showed a tyre wear near 40, and I spun on the uphill of the slow right corner of the second sector. My car was blocked on the curb, and for 10 seconds I was not able to free it. Finally, after some attempts I managed to restart and finished the race with only 20 seconds of advantage, instead of 1 minute I had after my pit.

In few words I risked to lose even this one...

Thx for racing guys :)
Cu for the next :)
