I have watched the incident between Johnboy & Unclebob for Race 1 Lap 2.

We have seen many incidents like this during this series,johnboy had nowhere to go apart from backwards, yes he could of waited untill the track was clear but after watching it a few times the track was clear when he started to reverse but bob was fast approaching,just like when bob crashed at a different track and i could not see him through the tyre smoke and i plowed into him because he should have got off the racing line but we put down to racing.
so im going to put this down to a racing incident and use it as a learning curve for everyone.

Lesson learnt i miss judged the speed he was approaching my bad sorry Bob, dosent leave me much room for negotiation will settle for the 200k.:grumpy:

Hi all :) Milldrum has sent me a Silver Chrome paint chip

Whilst I appreciate his kindness, I already have 3 of them which I can dupe to my hearts content :D

So if you haven't got one, first reply to this post gets it 👍

Did a short Tire Wear Testing.
If I do 1:36low´s I can do 10 Laps (last 2 laps are 1:37low-high maybe a 1:38).
If I´m doing 1:35´s I only manage 7 Laps and the drop after those laps is bigger.
Maybe my Setup is weak or it´s just my DS3 :D

@JB: Thanks for watching and "rating" ;)

I have a new Colour-combo for the next Race (hopefully it brings me luck because I sold my soul for it xD).

I think this is the most tyre-consuming track we ever drove on, even though it's not that long. I thing max. 8 or 9 laps for sprint will be good :)
 
Got a lobby open now in public if anyone wants to test online 👍

V8s 1420KG 591bhp on Fuji

1.37.640 my best in 8 laps :(, 2nd half of track just kills my pace

Edit: Down to a 136.632 but constant 137's really 1.36's are to close to the barrier where my talent runs out :lol:

Like I said, no problem, there were also too many mistakes from my side on this race, so I can't really say anything. Honest mistake, it was intentional, I'm sure :)

High 1.36's seem ok but if I try for low 1.36s I get wheel on curbs n grass and it never ends well so ill stick to 1.37s :dopey:

Well my camera dont snap for less than 200k sounds like Daniel Levy negotiation tactics to me:sly: I would also prefer any future negotiating be done via the boardroom table with my agent present at all times, and no longer aired in public.

JB.:lol:

Race 2 you say?
so my 0-60 time would have been better if i didnt get side swiped.



Ive read all your views for the sprint race for S2 and after talking to JB...We feel to make the race more of a sprint we are thinking of turning off the tyre wear..now that would be a true sprint but need some feedback from other racers about how they feel about it?
 
Dont forget ppl there is a disscusion board in our social group about series 2,
We need ppls views and feedback about things to keep improving.

The miniature lens makes this look so cool.

Yeah I love the camera, the first one was miniature, the second was cold.

Look here, the newer ones all have a nice looking lens on them, the ones dated January and December, I just took pictures and didn't edit them apart from the shutter speed and auto-focus. Not nice.
