I quite enjoy these cars but switching from the great arms full of lock that I will need to get a Mustang around Cadwell on Thursday in the wet to the minuscule wrist movements needed to keep these beasts on the grey bit will probably cause my brain to melt.

I have pinched Manteos' Spyder and managed a 1:44 but expect that to be about five seconds off the pace.  :(

Don't know if I can make the race yet but will do if I can.

The server is currently running a Fiesta mod for a test race tonight details here:
https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=10695.0

The server will be changed back over to LMP2s at Nurb after the test race.

The Radical is feeling good on this track.

Car change for this one me thinks.

Radical seems to be better for me. Still fall off, just not as much.

1.42 - 1.43ish

 :( :-[ :(
after the other week when I had a problem with my brake(clutch) pedal I thought i'd sorted it with putting a big deadzone on it. It appears to be spiking quite bad, although I tried testing after the race and it just seemed to spike slightly and not the full on brake for a few seconds which seemed to happen. The end result of this was ruining other peoples racing. I'm sorry Matteos, I hope you went on to victory. I could see you waiting and I wanted to type 'just go man it was my fault!', so I hope you had a fun race other than that. I shall now use my brake pedal on my g25 instead of the clutch.

Hope you all had a good race
Jon

To be honest I think I'm going to withdraw from the LMP2 races until I get a bit better. I can barely string 2 laps together before I spin + once I spin I keep messing up out of frustration more than anything I think. I will still be in the GT2 races though.

Difficult race.

My motivation was training for the GTWeb event and it worked well.

Shame a few had problems. Sorry for the contact TT. I actually stalled my car then as well.

Thanks for taking part.

See you at the next one.

I guess it's not your fault Jon... I stupidly forgot to close Mozilla, cause I was watching the football match Milan - Inter in streaming before the race... So that's why I saw every car near me with some lags. What a big idiot I am :(
Sorry if I ruined the race to other people at the start, but I was literally confused after the incident with Jon. I even thought that I had an accident with H@l, so I let him pass, thinking that he was you in reality. When I realized I was wrong I could only wait you, til you discovered your pedal problem :(.
The rest of the race, I tried to replace the gap to H@l, but my car was heavily damaged in the first stint. When I saw H@l in the pit, I decided to anticipate my pit stop too, repairing the damage and changing the tyres. Finally the car was good to drive and my pace was very good... but I was really on the edge, and after some laps I had a second spin on the guard rail before the finish line... Than I gave up, cause the time for a come back was not enough, and a little bit angry with myself, I did another mistake, crashing into the guard rail for the third time in this race. This time the car was totally destroyed in all its parts... the only working pieces were the 4 tyres and the engine luckily, so at least I managed to finish the race, losing 15-20 seconds per lap by H@l, and keeping the 2nd position til the checkered flag.
Very bad race for me... sorry again if I caused some troubles before the start :(

Cu for the next :)

I was wondering if I went too far, H@l. :-\ Hope I left enough room but now I'm not sure.
I need to make time for these races, I find I come unprepared and it usually ends wrong. And early. Maybe I need a brake, this went down a bit on the priority scale... :-\

Yeah, you were stuttering a bit near me Manteos. Had a bit of a tiring day and realised i was on autopilot after about 15mins as TT stretched away and wasnt really reacting to the car very well so had a few offs and just realised i was too tired to really do it justice, and couldnt face carrying on!
Loved the combo though.
