Well, on Trial Mountain, the best I got was 1:27, waaaaaaaaay off the pace of the other drivers. And on SSR5, i did a little better, my best was 1:24.8, but I get some consistent 1:25.

Your TM times are quick. You just need to practice more đź‘Ť the Alfa isn't strong at SSR5 so don't worry to much
 
Johnboy- Yeah, my buddy from the FGTC Runfast wasnt overly keen on the BMW, I removed the other guy (khalidc) for not showing up without notice plus he was pretty vague from the start anyway just using PM to join up etc.
So we got the one spot in Div 1 to fill, not in any rush as it doesnt affect the team points. If you know anyone who wants a seat get them to check out the OP đź‘Ť

Alfa not strong at SSR5 hmmm not so sure feels half decent ive managed a 123.8 this morning with a mild hangover:sick: So might be able to shave a little off of that.
As for TM not one of my favourites to be honest struggle for consistency here:yuck:
125.3 (felt a lucky lap):scared:
 
I thought the AWD cars would struggle at SSR5 but your time seems to take away our excuses :(
 
Johnboy, your times are quite good, about a second off at SSR5 but only 0.3 down at TM :)
 
I have thought about this Wednesday.
I´ll sure miss Qualy for Race 1 and the Race itself.
But I can make it to Race 2.

=> If that is ok I would be happy :D

Plus Team-Benz´s Teamwork is superb 👍
 
Thats ok Sakery, I will re design the race tracker so people can drop individual races đź‘Ť
 
Got a 1:23.2 round SSR5, found 2 really nice lines if you get them right you can knock a second off consistant 1:24's.
 
Thats awesome ETID, can see a Merc 1-2 in div 1 :D Plus its only .1 down on my times at the moment, lost half a second and cant seem to get it back, its really annoying me lol.

Thats me fella quite good, no way do those times represent race pace times imo hot lap times are not over important its all about getting from A to B Jenson Button style.:sly:
 
We have a new calendar in the OP, see if you can spot any mistakes and let me know. I have made the Nurburg 24 hour races longer than usual and if anyone feels this is an unfair change then please let me know. Its a bit like a finale to the season đź‘Ť

Oh and if anyone can guess the inspiration for the Title/Season colour scheme in the calendar you will win a fantastic prize of a museum card!!! :D (clue- its a sporting event)

Good news Team Merc, just changed my setup and made it even faster, just did a 1.22.497 :D will send you the updates straight away :)
 
Its working to be some good racing, got 1 spot left if you can make wednesdays?
 
This alfa is getting on my nerves, I set a 1.22.849 with no tuning whatsoever. I was getting bad under-steer in the fast chicane before the tight hairpin, and i have tried a few tunes but nothing works, the weight shifts just after i turn in which pushes the car wide so i cant turn in :crazy:
So i put weight towards the front, but this then means im under-steering in corners where i was fine before :grumpy:
Can anyone from Alfa help me out?

Nope its simply pants, what you give with one hand is taken with another beg for Turbo!!:sly:
 
I would give you my setup Pagey (did a 1.22.434 with it just now) but I dont want to make that Alfa guys in division 1 faster :D

Thats because you're odd and different from everyother Alfa driver :sly:
 
On the last week of the season we should do one race instead of two, and increase the laps.
 
Alfa seems strong at TM and about the same as the calibra at SSR5.
Been testing possible increase in power and free turbo selection. Also a minimum weight of 1010kg. Seems positive so far but dont panic, the settings will not change until after wednesdays race (if at all). Some tests still to be done.
