hmmm while waiting to join the server my ping went up to 180. Restarted the system, including the router and no change when joining. Chris followed me for a couple of laps in practice and reported no warping so decided to do the race. On start of race ping dropped to the normal twenties so all good. Except that in all the faffing around I'd put the wrong setup in. Still I'm not disappointed as the field was pretty strong n front of me and for that matter behind me at the finish.
Well done Chris for a brave choice of combo.

Enjoyed that, and enjoyed the GT40. Couple of mis-shifts and some intermittent lag episodes were unfortunate, but still good fun overall. Think I'll keep driver names on next time after letting MJ past, thinking he was lapping me with ChrisR  Congrats podium. |

Though, but very enjoyable car. Even at this tight track. Unfortunately i loaded not the right setup, so was struggeling with understeer. Had a good first part of the race, but could not run the pace. Also experienced some stuttering mid-race, wich caused a small off. No idea why that happens really. Would love to see these cars return on a track where it can stretch its legs.  Thanks for putting this one up Chris. Now, where did i put the Audi keys.. |

I think if we're going to use fog again then people should work out where their button is to turn on their lights! As Jeff said, you could barely see the other cars without lights on especially if they were dark cars.

I didn't think the fog added to the racing here, just made everything hard to see! And also washed out the lovely colours of the gt40's. I wonder if it only looks good at certain tracks as I thought the fog looked great and atmospheric at Spa in a recent online race  . Possibly the flat nature of silverstone meant it was grey skyline, dark ground dead horizontally split! I had to drive in the dark in my room just to be able to see  |

That is true, you really had to wait for the other to make a mistake. That's indeed a big downside of short tracks. Are you sure that wasn't just so the wife didn't know what you were up to?! |

Like i said when i started, i am going to put up combos "I" like and hopefully others like them too.. I am not going to start trying to please everyone.. It aint happening. As for the fog, i saw a challenge when trying to find brake points etc and i quite enjoyed it so i chose it.. I really do appreciate everyone who joined and made the effort, it is a nice feeling when others enjoy your combos.  so thanks for the support. I will give a heads up tho, i really enjoy driving tough cars.. So expect to practise if you dont want to be falling off the track every 5 mins. |
