Same here, shame, I was looking forward to Interlagos next week when I can make it. I hope at least there'll be a break over christmas and new year when I'll be away from the wheel...
Sorry Les, bi-weekly would have suited me too if we'd had enough interest with a modern series as well. There are no races for the two weeks over xmas as both xmas day and new years day fall on wednesdays  |

Hi everyone, I'm going to try to make tonight's race in the 2nd Lotus if it's free! If it's taken then I'll probably skip today's race as I won't have time to practice / set up another car. See y'all later hopefully |

Oh by the way, my in-game name is Louis Defor right now. Should I change it to Olius for the race?
PS: Olius is set as my "nickname" but I never see it displayed anywhere in AC. Anybody know what it's for?

See y'all later hopefully Welcome Olius, the other Lotus is spare at present so feel free to drive that. Your real or alias name doesnt matter as long as our trusty admin guy Pete knows who it is to apply the result too. (and you just confirmed that). |

Your real or alias name doesnt matter as long as our trusty admin guy Pete knows who it is to apply the result too. (and you just confirmed that). Thanks Mark. Reading earlier in the conversation, I agree that understeer is a major problem here. In the Lotus my setup actually has full front wing and almost no rear wing! (<- moar spead) I also found that lowering the car helped a lot too. I'm used to driving 66/67 F1s (with no wings), maybe that explains my strange setup... Oh and just to be sure, qual is at 20:15 _UK time_ right? |

So will I be the only one with the reverse solution? Hopefully good. Wings 0-2 here. Welcome Louis! |

oh boy... just ran a handful of laps to "learn" the track, I fear I'm not going to be fast, but hey, at least we have nice scenery today... *no sandbags* Looks like it could be a decent size grid too |

Sorry my sister rang me and I've fallen for the clever trick of GTL and this racing at the same track. I stupidly selected the wrong thread from the event list  I have restarted the server but it's getting late now. Sorry again Of course I speak only for myself, but you should be whipped to death !!   Whishing you a fast recovery, and thank you for usually setting the server up, it's not very sexy task, so you have my consideration be sure. |

I may be the only one happy to hear it's been postponed til next week, that way I'll be able to take part after all.  Anyway, since Youtube keeps recommending this stuff to me, here's Emerson Fittipaldi driving a V8 round the old Interlagos circuit in 1973... https://youtu.be/ZG5C2nyEyFoWhoops, that was embarrassing! Link corrected...  Anyway, Emerson describes a lap round the old circuit. Might be useful, just that it's in Portuguese of course. Shame, I really need the help with this one |
