Gulp... :surrender:

Bella machinna!  8). Should be a handful around Imola  :o

Slightly unfortunate we use Imola two weeks on the trot but two very different retro cars. :)

 :-* :-* looking forward to this one.

It's my birthday that day, so I might not be able to join.

 ;D Mine is two days after.... only problem is I'll be seventy one!

2 weeks on the trot? last time i used it it was the 14th oct..

i was torn between this one and another one, it came down to a coin toss.

nice car/track combo! :)

[/quote]I think MJ is referring to his next event.

i was gunna say. :)

i didnt know, if i had of known i would of chosen my other choice.. never mind tho, im sure its going to feel like 2 different tracks in the 2 different cars :)

Seems theres no difference between the cars, AC doesnt even mention it in the car descrption field.

Wow, so many races round here with pretty much the same braking points regardless of class and its all out the window needing double the braking distance with so little grip :o

First timed lap out of 10 was a 2.14

Both cars are identical in every way, shape and form, the only difference is with the wing being on or off.

Some people like no wing, some like it with, so i decided to include both for whoever wants what.

Why is the server set to Hockenheim national?

Also, the tyres can only be street, is this forced on the server?

EDIT: I can't get anywhere near 1:45's, so not sure if 17 laps is a bit too much to get a 30 minute race  ;)

To stop you practising ;) Sorted now I hope.

i'm averaging 2'03's and 17 laps gives me 35 mins...

i have no problem changing to 15 laps if thats what people want, so peeps, if you want it altered then speak up in here, if not we will just leave it.

cheers.

is this car part of the dream pack #2?

Yes it is.

I twisted my ankle this weekend. It will get taped up tommorrow night just before the race. If i still can manage the throttle control, i will attend ofcourse.

Finally got some laps in this eve after having to revalidate my AC install. No idea why but after watching the race replay last week I lost all normal camera views of the car including from cockpit, I had an invisible car!

2:07 with full race fuel for me on street tyres on the server. Cool car on a cool track 8)

Looks like i've been roped into a pub quiz on wednesday night, dunno why i dont know anything!

Loving this Countach, feels very believable (not that I'm ever likely to find out what a real one is like to drive of course). All these retro cars are great fun in AC, wish there were more of them!

Glad your enjoying it, these are my fav cars in ac aswell, i just wish aris would hurry up and fix the miura and cobra tyres as i like driving them too.

Just released, skin pack which looks really good, i have put a link in the First post.

God these cars are soo bloody hard to drive  :-\

Server is up to take your booking

Missed it  :P

gutted :(

what lap times did you end up with after practicing?

That was a great race, really enjoyed it.  8) what's cooler than a grid full of Lambo Countach's at Imola?!

Car has nice handling too with just enough wildness to keep you on your toes  :)

Qualied well in 4th and got a good start, except Bob got a blinding start and got past me and Frex!  :o
At end of lap 1 I had to take to the gravel to avoid t-boning Bob of the downhill left handed and lost several places and time.
But that made it more fun having to catch and pass a gaggle of cars  8) the driving was impeccable from all and was great to follow right on bumpers or pass closely. Enjoyed fighting my way back to 3rd alas too far back to put shark under any pressure by that point.
Bob, ChrisT and Ed kept me under pressure until near the end until each of them had moments and dropped back...phew!  Got worried with 2 laps left when a flying Frex caught me up, don't know where he appeared from as hadn't seen him since race start ???
Crossed the line for a well earned 3rd  :)

Yeah the game crashed on me as we went to the grid.. Bummer.

But this combo was too good to give up on it so I re-started the game and got back on the server - and by the time I did that I was probably a couple of laps down. Started from the pit-lane and a group of cars went by just as I came out onto the track - MJ, ChrisT and Bob. Joined in respectfully at the back but of course not being on the same lap I wasn't going to try anything silly or interfere with those guys battling for position. ChrisT went off, and then Bob also near the end, so that just left MJ to chase. Good fun.

Congrats podium.

 ;D ;D  An absolutely great combo providing some great racing. Got a good start and settled in to a rhythm in third. For me this was always going to be about not making mistakes, but the inevitable happened. A lack of concentration and lost two places, or one as it happens, didn't realize Frex was a lap down. Put my mistake down to that annoying voice in the PLP app. Surely we don't need that screaming out in headphones whilst racing. Carried on having fun then piped on the last chicane by Animal Ed. Would love to use this car again.

That annoying screaming voice is from the RSR app. I scream back at it, "shut up I already know I went off track"  ::)

Erik what you probably don't appreciate is that it was coming down the speakers from someone elses race who was using Chris's Team Speak channel. So everyone on Chris's Teamspeak channel had to hear it too - sort it Jase lol.

I knew I was always going to struggle with this car but I did enjoy the race. There were some exciting overtakes past me from Mark and Ed where I was sure we were going to exchange paint but miraculously didn't. All my time lost was down to me making silly 'no pressure' mistakes, i'll just have to put it down to experience.

So what else has Mr R got in store for us?

Ah, well that's your own fault then, chatting like your on a road trip instead of racing  ;D

thats just reminded me to delete all of the wav files. :)

I made the RSR sound a bit softer, so it doesn't scream as much. Just replace the wav folder with mine in the RSR app folder. If it's still too loud, just let me know.
RSR wav (https://mega.nz/#!2h4VybKY!c2mRepw7NLskDzzP__O_riPdnGUn0jA7jWkgoL3uNiw)

what does the RSR app do then? thought it was just a leaderboard hotlap counter?

Shame you missed it last night Erik, was a great combo

The RSR app is that, but now they added a voice to tell you you cut a track, set a new PB or set the WR. Only problem I have with it, is that it's too loud  :walkman:
