If you are bored with turkey, wine, TV and the new F2 mod has got you so completely hooked that you need a break.....

How about some "after dark" action  ;) ;D ;D

This sounds possible . . .  or perhaps I should say, do or dieable?  The track link suggests sunshine, although there is a night version of Le Mans.  And in an attempt to muddle things further, there's also a night Mod for GPL.:D  But work on a version for GT's is still a WIP, I think, which means we'll be driving the light version, and not the night version.  

Well, on the download I have from that source..the stars are out???, and in my part of the world that generally indicates night  :-\

Granted there are no headlights and it is a little artificial, but it does feel different...sort of  ::) Maybe it would be better described as "dusk"  ;)

Yeah!

I can set my server to nbsarthe with 12 laps at 21:00 GMT with 35min practice.

This gives me the chance to drive my beloved ChapF again, or shall I take the Ford MK2.... ::)

Is there a PW needed?

I will try and turn up.

I and Mark are present.
We run in 60 or 36 fps ?

My mistake - must be the effect of all the Christmas wine, or New Years liquor tomorrow.  There's a naughty n in nbsarthe.  Grumble . . .

I think we should run this race at 36fps.

Maybe when Axel has converted everyone to the benefits of 60FPS after his Ferrari challenge is over things might be different  ;)

Thanks to all who took part in this dark event.

It certainly added some atmosphere having the stars out...not the drivers who were on the podium, the twinkly things in the sky!!.

I chose the big Mk4 Ford because this was a fun race and although that thing is awesome on the straights, it lacks a certain something in the corners...mostly the ability to turn??!! ::) That was handicapped even further by the discovery of a spare 15 gallons of fuel at the finish!!!


Grats to the podiums guys.

Watch out for a Wet Mosport GT fun race soon, which might just have a limited choice or cars to stop everyone taking the Porsche  ;) ;) 8)
