iRacing - Radical @ Silverstone (GP) - Dec 1

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Don't think Mr Richards is racing tonight, he's watching some footing-the-ball.

But he's a grown man! He should be playing computer games!

[popabawa]

Wash your mouth out Gymer, iRacing is not a game, it's a super-professional top grade motor simulating thingy (or something).

Really? I'm meeting him for lunch in 75 minutes, so he can confirm then. Gives the rest of us a chance anyway

Gives the rest of us a chance anyway 

It might give you and Brian a chance, I don't know about the rest of us! lol

[Dan Minton]

Running low 46's after sorting the rear end, Gonna be a bit loose for about a lap and a half but once tyres come in it feels gooood .    Will be good to finally race on the track with some other Radicals.

[Paul968]

Don't bet on it! I've done a grand total of 2 races in the radical, both at sebring, and completed only 1 lap  

[Kerr]

I will need to put in some practice today.

I've got a little running about to do after work but I will dedicate a few hours to get up to speed.

From what I seen last night Simon has pace and consistency.

Brendan was looking good too.

I was surprised to hit a 44 in race spec last night so hopefully more practice can see me there on a more consistent basis.

[Paul968]

Several hours!     

[Paul Richards]

Yep can confirm and I am going to watch the fine footballing spectacle of Southampton v Wycombe tonight so wont be able to race.  

My olds are on a Carribean cruise so I popped round to their house and stole the old fella's season tickets for me and a mate and supporters club entrance passes (so no need to mingle with the masses to get a pint and dinner).

As we have had such bad weather he decided last weekend to try and be funny so called to tell me all about this big yellow thing in the sky and cocktail drinking. So for that I also took his stadium priviledge car parking ticket, and the keys to his new 6.3ltr 480hp Holden jobby and drove with spirit 65 miles to work this morning getting not too many mpg on his petrol. He did ask me to start it up a few times for him while he was away when I do the TVR (kept in his garage) so I am just going that extra mile like any good son would  

[Kerr]

Several hours!     

Too right. It's bad enough losing to some random iRacing guy so I'm going to do my best so no Kerbcrawler (or anyone else for that matter) beats me LOL.

I've been jumping around a bit in iRacing this season and I'm turning up to races without enough practice.

There just seems to be too much for me going on.

I don't like the split race days or the fact they put the Vette and Indycar on the same days.

I've tried to stay active in the Mazda series but only managed a few races.

My Skip performances are getting better though. Having revisited Summit Point and Lime rock my times have improved from a few weeks ago.

I was so out of sorts with the Radical last night I need the practice anyways.

[Fred Basset]

Well after a successful test of my new ISP last night (although not a particularly successful few laps in terms of times) I plan to be there tonight.

The radical is a wonderful old bus at Silverstone, I don't no what you people mean about its handling, I really like the Radical, it just takes some time to get used to it I think.

Its the pride of Peterborough's car fanatics.

Regards
Gary

[Burtoner]

I transfered to new ISP today

Everything working although going around my dad's tonight

So good luck all but i be here for weds race!

[Truetom]

I just watched the Death Race (again ), so watch out for them shields on the track.

[popabawa]

OK TT, it's worked -  I'm scared!

[Paul968]

Just to make me feel better about last week's timing debacle, Pops has accidentally on purpose got the qual start time wrong in the race announcement. It should be 20.15. Thanks m8
