*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)

yet another great track and racing opportunity goes wasted with 2 gt2 cars cruising alone there... just saying. Theres 198 cars that bring more racers in than gt's.  ???

Have to agree doing the ferrari gt2 on a Monday night, its a gt2 overload, but there's usually 3 of us on a Sunday ;D

People complaining about racing the same content they do in other leagues...hmm

Not complaining just stating my opinion. Supported Sunday evening events as and when been able to, along with the other 2 or 3 stalwarts. Not done Wednesdays recently hated the mod that was run, but have always been a regular Wednesday evening participant when able to. Maybe time to throw away the wheel and buy a flight controller. :thumbup2:

Well i'll be turning up, the first time in probably a year..

Either people say they dont have time to drive and setup another car so i can understand why it was maybe set to to be the same as other leagues, or prefere modern to difficult to drive classics, or want to drive quick cars rather than slow ones.

Can never win!

I'll be around for this one too.

Good to see you back on track Spanner. We are having a few fun races at the moment. There will be an AC TCR series and a RRE GT4 series starting in September!

Only four of us but great racing, well done Goldtop our lap times were pretty close just lost out on top speed. :thumbup2:

Yes, nice racing Bob  8) I was testing my nurby setup for tomorrow and just halved the fuel and put softs on. Felt a bit sluggish in the corners but pulled out of them ok.

Well done Mark, couldn't get anywhere near you  :thumbup1:

What sort of setup tweaks were you guys running tonight, i couldnt get near anyone in the race using the default BMW setup

I used my nurby setup which is basically soft springs all round, soft front arb, medium rear arb and just enough ride height not to bottom out. Wings were 2 front 6 rear and soft tyres. Disclaimer: I suck on setups, especially modern cars.

Tried the bimmer for a few laps last night on more/less default setup and it was very nice to drive but I was around 1.5 secs off my fezza pace. I think it's generally just a slower car.

I may have had a faster car, but i was still watching my mirrors alot and trying to manage the gap. I haven't driven AC since probably my last race here, and have only done a few AI races in PC2 and ACC in the last 7weeks while waiting for Virgin to set up cable in my new house.


I do find cars tend to be too stiff which reduces the mechanical grip which allows the tyres to slide too much. I dropped the springs down twice and reduced the slow dampers on the front end quite a bit. But others to help the car turn it, reduced coast diff by 10%, increased rear ARB two clicks, moved brake bias back a couple of clicks.
