I didn’t realise you had an overlap when I moved over I thought you had just taped my rear.
I would of let you past had I known it was my fault, sorry

No probs mate, I didn't even know it was you (not looked at replay yet) but appology accepted....these things happen, I just like to point them out so folk are aware of them.  Smiley

Good grief....I missed all of last season so haven't a clue how the cars went on, other than what folk are saying. I wanted to review all the addon cars I submitted as the season progressed but circumstances dictated otherwise.

I am still pretty convinced that the majority are just 'different' not 'wrong' and they take a bit more getting used to than the fairly standardised/well used Simbin originals. This could be backed up by the reasonbly intensive AI testing prior to submision showing fair equality accross the board. Therefor I suggest that any Obvious shortcomings or faults are fixed/tweaked in the normal srou way for the next pack and then I will be able to collect a lot more data from the actual usage of the cars to enable a much more in depth look at them prior to S11.
23  UKGTR / UKGTR / Re: Marcos Helpline....for TT on: July 01, 2009, 10:58:51 AM +0100
Iwill probably be on from 8 ish.....but I will be there for two or three hours
24  UKGTR / UKGTR / Re: Marcos Helpline....for TT on: July 01, 2009, 10:40:41 AM +0100
if you fancy testing them online Simon, I'll join you.

I think I'd be counted out on both fronts, and I rather suspect I'm not alone...

your not.  Smiley

I want variety with different Championships.....but I want to stick to the same car each week so I have a chance of learning how to drive it.....Could you imagine a GT1 Lambo driver having to jump into the Marcos next week  Shocked   may as well call it a demolition derby.  laugh

1. I'm a pesky guy, trying to make lives of other as much difficult as possible
2. I'm trying to add an unused car into the Championship

I'll go for option 1....one...one.....Two then

I dont get overheating/snatching brakes any longer in the marcos (or any other car with similar traits).....my fix for it....I dont brake as hard  Smiley....I brake a little sooner and a little longer than 'normal' with less pressure applied and trail brake as often as possible. I still slow down fine, have the car balanced well before too much turning needs to be done and ensure I am 'ready to go' when acceleration is required.
Basically, a slightly more intense version of the 'Slow In-Fast Out' technique. Which you should be doing anyway in a powerful motor with poor turn  Tongue laugh
It does take practice as you really need to re-educate your left foot (in my case anyway) to be very very smooth both applying and lifting the brakes and do it in harmony with your right foot (which needs to equally as smooth) to keep everything balanced.

Not trying to tell anyone here how to drive btw, just the way I have found that works for me. I am very new to the Marcos, but I have been developing this technique with the notorious F360....I now find it very hard to get snap oversteer in that  Wink

I quite agree with MJ. I would have been at the sharp end in the 350 at race pace but couldn't get within a second in the Stang.
Having said that, I know from experience that it is a next too impossible job catergorising cars due to differing driver abillity, and an even less thankful job trying to catergorise drivers too.  Shocked So absolutely no fault of Legzy's or WT's if things aren't always perfect.

IMO, with it being a clubmans championship, ie relying heavily on folk 'doing the right thing' and selecting appropriate cars, it could be best if the top two or three drivers post their average times for a track as early as possible b4 the race, in the car they are going to/most likely to use. This would then give the rest of us a chance to find out what car (if any) we can get to within striking distance of those times and possibly make for even closer races.

Deep apologies Psuedo.

Thanks PB, accepted  Smiley angel

well that was my first experience of PnG.....and some experience.

Never been too good in the GTL yank tanks, but there wasn't much else for me to choose from as I couldn't get the jag to go and I found the alfa boring.

So opted for the 'stang. was quite suprised to get a pb and qually 13th....I fully expected to be near the back.

Got tagged on lap 1 with a gaggle of cars trying to go round the hairpin together but I was hit dead centre so they just bounced off  Cool.
Next lap I got tagged as above by PB, which lost us both a load of places waiting to rejoin...22nd I think it was....thanks for waiting too PB, sorry I didn't flash you a thanks, but my lights were already haddocked by then  laugh
Started playing catch up and got to the main group after a couple of laps....made a couple of places due to folk falling off and a couple more from passing down the straight with the stangs power.
I did get balked a couple of times, once it appeared that I was pushed onto the grass whilst overtaking down the straight and another time by a re-joiner hogging the racing line forcing me to slam on and attempt (failed) to go round the outside.  Sad will wait to review the replay before further comment.
Had a great battle with Mr Oily for half a dozen laps, real close stuff with 2 cars rarely facing front and centre.....no contact and some great driving  thumbup2

Will have another bash in a couple of weeks, just hope there are some NON YANK TANK cars to choose  Grin

Grats to podium

Definately prefer single class sprints here.

Still no idea what car to take here  Roll Eyes

from the category I reckon I should pick from, I am only remotely competetive in the alfa.....but thats sooooo boring, taking granny to tesco's type stuff.

From the next fastest category....there is only the Shelby I like* (*read: 'can drive at all') and it would probably be too fast.  Undecided

can somebody post an E-type coupe setup that allows the front (steering) wheels to work please? I love the car just can't get it to go round corners  Roll Eyes (drag race anyone?  Grin)
