Thanks pete, nice reminder about the current AC sale :).

nice to see the Praga getting some love... its a terrific car! i did a race at Brands Hatch once and it was a blast.  i think silverstone could be a bit "dull" in this car though, as it lacks topspeed but looking forward to this race nonetheless

if i have the time, i will join this race :)

I think Zandvoort or Brands GP would make a better circuit for these cars.

Zandvoort is a rubbish track with only 2 good corners. Brands' high speed corners makes it almost impossible to overtake with these cars.

Silverstone is good fun in these things, fast corners to enjoy the grip and Maggot and Beckets is loads of fun chucking it in.

You forgot to add IMHO talking about brilliant Zandvoort track  ;)
All of the tracks in AC is amazing IMHO

I agree with Jeffrey about those 2 tracks, I personally hate Zandvoort ( look at that Dutch nationalism  8) )

I always thought Barcelona was an ideal track for these cars (as is Mugello ) though Silverstone shouldn't be that bad, some nice spots for great battles.

Have to disagree,  Zandvoort is an amazing track apart from the stupid chicane at the back end. My first races in the Praga was at Brands GP and the racing was amazing. Its my go to track for these cars. I like Silverstone, its just very flat and not very challenging.

Looking at the laptimes so far, it's gonna be a close fight  ;D

I've only done 4 laps, will be right with you after a couple more  :whistling:
 ;D

this car leaves me a bit 'meh'   all those nice beastly Grp C cars and you choose a tame wannabe that sounds like a dyson  ::)

its not bad but not that exciting either.  :-\  plus it likes to turn around a lot  :laugh:

Bit contradicting yourself ;). Also, everything is tame far from the limit  ;D.

We did the group C's twice, second race only 4 showed up. Don't really see the point in poking a dead horse. this car has been mentioned in the past, so might as well give it a go.

Just bought the Triple Pack as well, so I might be able to join this race.

I think the Praga will be a good race and would actually make a good spec series if the right tracks are chosen.

As for the next championship, I can only see a handfull of decent option,

GT3
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Spec Series
Porsche 911 GT3 and Cayman GT4 Multi Class
Spec series (MX5, Cayman GT4, Lotus Elise, Praga, Single Seater etc.)

Not sure if I am available to race tommorrow.

Hi guys! 10 pilots in serverstat.. :-[ . Maikel and nfsw55 are you joining? Jump in with your racefriends!  :) We need 15-20-30 pilots else!  ;D

I'll be giving the Praga some love tonight........  ::)

Let's see if it'll be more crowded then the last few races ;D

cant race the upcoming wednesdays, so no Srou races for me for a while :(

sorry

Sorry guys, wasn't back home in time for the race :(

 :-[ Was crap as usual but had fun race. Never driven this car before but bet I will again.

Had a messy start due to turning TC on for the start and then wanting it off again before T1. Messed up first few corners, even shifted to 1st for the first hairpin  ::). That put me at a 1,5 second gap to Maikel infront, which stayed like that the whole race.
Shame I buggered the first lap so much, with such equal pace and behing closer together, it could have been epic. Still fun tho :).

I had some weird bug.

This black and green thing was stuck to my rearview mirror the entire race. I think my pitcrew might have pranked me as I couldn't get it off.  ;D


Still a pretty intense race keeping the pace in these quite tricky cars. Watching the gap in the Livetiming app. Tiny mistake and there goes a tenth or 2.

Definitely a good car for some fun races ( or a tiny series, nothing too long )

had a reasonably fun race, span once and threw away a potential place..

just threw default setup on with enough fuel to do the race and went for it, i guess i shouldnt of had tc on lol

I had a black smudge on my windscreen, I kept spitting at it and trying to wipe it off, but it never went away  ;D

These cars were definitely more fun to race with than practise with  :)

Lap 1 was pretty intense in the pack and felt great. I thought this should make a great race but for whatever reason GT threw himself off then both he and Linus quit way too early so I was left with nobody near me on track.
Had some fun when Chris caught me and we diced for a while but when he went in deep at luffield I tried braking late to close but got unbalanced and span. This let Bob through and I enjoyed chasing him hard for several laps until he span at beckets.
Late in the race manteos caught and passed me on my worn tyres so I got demoted to 6th  :(

Good fun  :)

Not a good race for me. Nearly didn't bother as really tired from little sleep the night before but gave it a go. Made an ok start and followed Mark. Saw GT spin out and then a few corners latter spun myself but stopped on the racing line leaving GT nowhere to go and we collided. My car was very damaged so pitted for repairs but after that I was last and so off the pace so decided to retire.

Non race for me  :( I kept losing the back end in the fast corners in practice with little or no warning so decided to put another click of wing on to play safe for the race. It didn't work  ::) Wasn't even pushing when I spun out in Maggots/Becketts which put me in last on the first lap. Was looking forward to trying to chase back but hit Linus as he was recovering from a spin at Stowe making the poor car undrivable.

My race:
Teleported to the pit when I engaged the first gear. Race over.
End of the race. Funny  ??? ::)

I also suffered the teleport, and I was just engaging 1st gear. I guess the car must move slightly

The car didn't seem to have a clutch. After the race I pressed the clutch, and it actually did the opposit.

I teleported too! I was baffled, but I just wanted be here it's rare that I can join on Wednesdays I got lucky. I knew Silverstone quite well never touched the car, but it was well balanced!
