Thx, will try them.

[spanner]

Blimey, clearly i was well off pace then. After a few laps in the SRF managed a 44

[Truetom]

That's my usual pace when I don't spin, Spanner.

Let the games begin (server up).

[Paul968]

There is no password oily

[mr_oily]

Yeah I was thinking about blagging that was all part of the "anythingcanhappen" bit but in truth I'm afraid I may have overlooked that box!

Have created another server...join the one with a password

That was one to forget. I guess we were on the Australian server farm because the latency was just awful - cars jumping around all over the place. Lost track of where I was lap 1 at the Corkscrew and got my braking all wrong - I think I managed to avoid Ginsters (or rather, he managed to avoid me as I tried to thread the needle and crash on my own). Car was okay but stuck in the tyres so I had to reset; ran until I nearly caught Legzy and Picnic but with the latency as it was there was no way I wanted to be close to another car so I hopped out to see if I could ID what farm we were on, and check my connection, but to no avail, and since I've got a sore throat and probably have a cold coming I decided to hang up my gloves there and then.

[Legzy]

Yeah we were on the Oz servers Dave, it did make life tough.

Pulled out after one too many spins for my liking. Like the Legend, it has a lot of potential, but Laguna remains a track that in iR (at least) escapes me.

Thats was funny as hell from my view Dave Spotter said "on left" and "then all clear" and I thought those Legands brake late (never seen them before). Then you hurtled across my bows at quite a rate. Shame about the lag :'(

I had quite a fun race. Gained a few places in the chaos and had fun holding up people a bit as they came back through. The Legends were more of a match as there was nothing I could do to hold up the odd skippy. Just held up Micheal at the end, who could have easily clattered me earlier as I began to struggle. Good racing from him and all those that I met 

Hope we race those motors again, even if I'm probably in the minority. You're all wrong I'll try and join you when you pick some of my motors. Falcon would be nice.

[Mike Wrightson]

For once I enjoyed running the Skippy, even though it still bites    I hung on to the back of Adam for a few laps, but he was steadily easing away.  Pushing hard to try and stay with him, I span it and from then on it was just bringing it home for 2nd.

Some horrendous lag out there since we were on the Aussie server.

A good combination (if we do more multiclass in these) would be v8 Falcon & Mustang 

[picnic]

LOL - what a laugh. Arrived on the server with 10 secs of qual left! I've only ever done one road race in the Legend before and never at Leguna Seca!! Good old Mr_Oily had shared a setep which I was warned was very oversteering by the guys on TeamSpeak. Only had one proper off all race and fortunately missed anything solid but the choice of Australian servers meant the server lost me twice. I only got lapped the once yet got reported as 3 laps down in the end.

Please don't follow my appalling example of racing with absolutely no practice with the car or track

Thanks again for hosting James, twice.

It was a good fun race, I do enjoy driving the legends car on road courses.  

Me and Ian were almost trading paint on the last lap another lap and I think I could have taken the place.  It was a little unfair as my car was light on fuel and his wasn't.  Thanks Ian.

The skippys off the start line caused a few problems, they lost easily 10 car lengths to the legends and it just backed the pack up into T1.   Something to remember if you plan to use the combo again.

Kept picking up x1's through the corkscrew and cutting the curb on T1, they soon add up.
