About the Mini Miglia, and as I told Tim yet, for me it will be a no-show as this mod's ffb just wants to kill my wheel as soon as I reach 30km/h, at least it was the case when I tried her. Not to mention her very specific handling, but I just can't hear and feel my T500 taking injury like that for no reason at all. About 5% of the mods I DL are like that, so for me it's an instant 'forget it'. But the rest is of very nice feeling so I can't really get the problem. Maybe some very different domestic ffb setups lead to incompatible car's ffb designs ?

The odd thing is that my TS-XW runs the same drivers as your T500 from what I can tell - and I don't get this issue. We'll see what otherfeedback we get I guess, and also whether the puppy settles enough to actually let me race to start with! I'd like to race them in a British track series but suspect they won't be popular enough anyway But hey - ho, that's what testing is for!

I've just tidied up all of the fun event related posts from last week - so if you're missing a post here that's why! I'm 90% certain I've only removed stuff relating to Maximes' server, but my French isn't great so apologies if I've gone overboard here In other news I've been leaving the puppy for longer and longer periods and am so far getting away with it - I may even be able to take part tomorrow night at this rate!

I just tried the Estonia and, no offense to our Baltic friends but, it's horribly bland to me. The Russel-Alexis is much funnier to my taste.

Looks like I missed the first race in the Estonia, I'll try to join later in the Russel.

Sorry for not chatting in race 2 - I dropped my resolution to 720p to try and stop the dropped frames. It worked but the chat box was now off the screen! I'm very upset to not join properly, an Xbox controller and steam link to the telly are frankly rubbish - I couldn't actually drive the Russel Alexis with that combo Even worse though is the fact that I'm going to have to step down from running the Wednesday night slots - at least until my puppy can cope with me being upstairs (or join me). At the moment her anxiety is so bad she has panic attacks if I disappear for too long, these often result in a LOT of cleaning Sorry to do it at no notice, but I never had these issues when Kai was tiny so literally hadn't even conceived of them. If Maxime fancies taking over Wednesdays in the mean time to keep the classics alive he is more than welcome Sorry again

Sure Tim, I'll do my best ! Though for next Wed it will be compromised as I'm leaving home this we to go at Le Mans and I still have plenty of things to do in the meantime. Will we get a picture of your new puppy ?

This is the reason for my pain and lack of time/sleep. Kai is not entirely amused by her presence

Pets do form rather strong bonds....unless you can train them to not be so anxious when alone.

She just needs time - Kai has always been very self sufficient, although she was 4 months old when I got her. Cassi was only 10 weeks so needs a lot more reassurance, I can watch her confidence grow pretty much daily (Same as her physical size I could swear!) - but she's just taking her time

Hello all, I was in Le Mans this we so that I wasn't able to think about any little fun event for this Wed. And I won't be home tonight, but I wanted to let you know that I'd be glad if any of you fancy joining this tomorrow evening : Date : Thursday, July the 7thQualif (if enough drivers) : 19h15 gmt Race : 19h30 gmt Car : Lotus Evora STrack : Mugello - Fast conditions, clear weather, possible moderate wind, 2pm Password : Usual defaut password (this time correctly typed by me ) Damage : 70% Special Rules : No ABS, no TC, street tyres only. Notes : This week again it will be a modern car. Am I unwell are you going to ask nope, but very little time to setup something fun and easy to ride. Last week was real fun but damn slow, this time let's get some powaaa.. This car is very fun, she wants to play with you, and provides some nice feeling and enjoyable sound. Her engine is very lively, so that heel&toes need to be as subtle as quick. Her behaviour is very well equilibrated despite being pretty vivacious. As no ABS is allowed of course, I would suggest you to much lower the braking power (I'm going to keep it around the minimum of 80%)

Good to see something put up as an event. Just don't think I'll manage to get behind the pc tonight. Hopefully I can get some racing in before I am off for the holidays.

I think some clarification.....
Posting it here will almost guarantee that few people will see it...
Has no one asked Dave to give him access to create events/ forum posts in here for events?
Is this run on our server or your own.. as i seem to remember seeing you trying to sort something out on your own hardware?
If not then I'm sure someone who does/ can access our server set it up for you

Hi Mr Spanner, yes I know that, it's just to throw something in while having no time to ask for threads creation or rights to be granted, but just for this week. I think I will need to ask Tony if he accepts to upgrade me as a race director and then, I also would have to learn to manage sro servers. But for now it's only a little fun event, whose I make advertisment here and hosted on my own PC. Better organisation in order to second Tim would need more time.
