If you’re still looking for the win on The Human Comedy Lake Maggiore 1 hour event, go get this \/



It will deliver a comprehensive arse-whupping. RM tires, FM 1, 2 pit stops (end of laps 10 and 20 - short fill fuel to 10.5 laps). Have fun!

Well.... I gave it a go. As a wise man (Dirty Harry in Magnum Force) once said "a man's got to know his limitations", I have come to the conclusion that I am way too slow. My best laps were in the 2 minute plus range. An alien I am not.
 
@MasterGT the info on the lobby dr rating was incorrect, i lost my DR A. Have to work it back.

For a bit of fun ;) & perhaps a challenge :nervous:, try the Miata roadster in the 700 PP event at Le Mans. The results show the field a lap down, but they crossed the finish line after time ran out.

Hi ya Papa, I have read every post you've made old feller. Thanks for staying connected to the group you were among from the beginning. You are as they say - an "OG" Geezer. You're not too old nor are you too slow to join in. You know we sure would like to have you join us one of these weekends or Wednesday eve races. There's only a few of we OG Geezers left but we do have a good number of very fine folk who have joined over the years so the racing is just as 'ol Jerry set up from the beginning. GT7,, the boost does not work (which leaves me way back dragg'n up the rear but that's OK with me) and that's a bummer. The lobby's have some glitches they at PD have not yet addressed BUT the banter and talk is just as much fun as it always was. Give us a visit and watch one of these days,, perhaps join in for a race or two. GEEZERS RULE! :cheers:

Hi Duce. Thanks for the kind words. My racing days are short. Those hour long "endurance" races are brutal on my hands (still on controller). I'll keep in touch & maybe......................1 day ?

Thanks Steve,, AND you other racers for allowing this ol man use a softer compound tire that helped me hang in there with you guys. That race was close,, VERY close and was an absolute blast to be able to stay relatively close to all of you. Thanks muchly,, this old guy very much enjoyed that race and am looking forward to the next one. :):cheers:

Thanks John. These races need to be enjoyable for all. We can look at different ways to do that. Removing or adding weight is another option. The way the Lobby is at the moment would need to rely on the 'Honour System' for that. This is all a bit of an experiment to find a way to keep the racing closer. Maybe we could use different tyres during quali as well which would mix the grid up and adjust the total race points..there are several things we can try.
