UKPnG Season 1 Clubmans Tokens - Riverside (Long) - Nov 17

[Mark J]

nice times gents. Looks like i need to get more laps in. Not a problem at such a good track. 

[Clive Loynes]

I also like this track and I like it in GPL too.

From my GPL experience it does have one drawback when hosting mixed-ability fields.  The two 180 degree turns are the problem.  Being only human, I like to take these on a double apex route but the aliens seem to be able to find enough grip to hug the inside all the way round and then go stuffing their car down the inside at mid-turn.  I'm hoping that the virtual mirrors in P&G will let me see them coming.

It's fair enough if you have messed up a corner and gone wide then you shouldn't cut back in but if you are still giving it your Sunday best and suddenly hit a car on the inside who wasn't even close when you turned in it can put a crimp on your day.

Still a good track that obviously didn't survive long enough to be emasculated by the addition of chicanes named after Senna.

Tried to find the track on Google Earth, but it is now a shopping mall and housing estate.

Yeah, sadly the last race held here was in 1989.

For me it's a toss up between L72 and ATCC,
I had been quicker in the L72 as I couldn't keep the ATCC's rear in line with the front long enough to use it's power
Have messed with setups some now, and the ATCC is still less stable but is potentially faster
L72 might score on consistant times though. And the ATCC wastes one $L, and I hate wasting money 

More playtime required.

[Clive Loynes]

After you retired for the night Matt, someone was on the server doing 2:08s in what I took to be the L88.

 

[phspok]

Probably an Italian, or someone with an Italian wife

[Legzy]

Server is up & going to have some praccy if you want a go

[Clive Loynes]

Practice went well thanks Legzy.  I find solitary practice a real pain so it was nice to have company.

It was good for another half second for me so I'm currently at 2:09.5 in the Cobra 289 Coupe (not Willment)    Mr Blunder was in the 09's as well in the L72 as I recall.

Could you tell me what the Willment Cobra 289 has that makes it worth another dollar?

[Legzy]

It has extra HP Clive.
It is a slightly tougher drive, but is faster.

Glad I did a few laps last night, this track (particularly the early wiggley bit) is tougher then I remember from when testing. Very nice though

Bye bye !

• Trust me, you do not want to run out of Tokens before the final race! ****

Has now been updated to include specific details:

**** = Five points will be deducted for every Token overspent from your Tokens budget, after the final race of the season has been moderated.

Everyone has done very well in sticking to the spirit of how we wanted this Clubmans Series to be & only a minimum number of people look likely to have any points deducted (mostly people that only attended Daytona... oh & our Director General ).

[phspok]

Not that I was entirely with it before... but I've been assuming my budget was the original + the extra 3
So I have 9 to spend? do I get 9, but I am docked 15 points if I use all 9?
Can't see the ALpine being effective here, even in Lele's hands  


I think Tony's friend has found something inthe L72, I can only get into 11's with a good lap, what am I doing
to lose 2 secs... hmmm

[Manteos]

Only a stupid question Legzy.

I see that Lele got 6 tokens remaining. Why I see a forecast of -1, even if he got a suggested token spend for this race of 6?!?

I just told you it was a stupid question


Hope to be here for the final round guys, let's see what happens!

LoL, I've got 12 tokens left but I wont be using them all up. While the Daytona would be perfect here, I've driven her before in a race & am enjoying trying a different car at every race so far. I'll probably be in either the L72 / GT350 / Cobra (not Willment) 

I've been assuming my budget was the original + the extra 3
So I have 9 to spend? do I get 9, but I am docked 15 points if I use all 9?

I'll assume you mean the "extra +4 bonus" Tokens I gave out? Don't worry about them, they are now part of your remaining total.
So you have done very well to get to the last race with nine Tokens remaining, when that is also your suggested Token spend (for a competitive race) .
If you spend nine Tokens (or less) at this race, you'll not be docked any points. If you spend more then nine here Matt, you will be docked five points for each extra token over your remaining budget you spend.

I see that Lele got 6 tokens remaining. Why I see a forecast of -1, even if he got a suggested token spend for this race of 6?!?

An admin error by Tony ... OK, OK it was my mistake & I've corrected now thanks

[phspok]

Ahhhh, I see.. so if i'm not interested in points, I can overspend to go quicker. Fair enough.
