It's going to be a tough one this week. You need just the right balance of speed/power and handling at Homestead.

Above are my times with Street Muscle cars in this weeks event. Best lap first, followed by total time in 8 laps at Homestead. Best car was my tuned Olds/Hurst 442. The tune is available publicly, (Pwr/Wght Best). I'm not much of a tuner, however I am a big fan of Power to weight ratio. I like to eliminate as much weight as possible, without sacrificing power and handling. Since I am not much of a racer, compared to the better racers. I really don't have much success with my tunes. In this case, the Olds/Hurst 442 was a smashing success!
 
Don't even know what to say guys.
Sorry I left you all hanging here but I don't even know how to explain... I've been dreading typing anything. Without beating about the bush: my marriage broke down and I've been suffering depression for months. I know that's "overshare" for an internet forum where we are only names on the screen, but I feel I owe you at least some explanation for my apparent total disappearance. And my (Christ... insert embarrassed face) psychologist recommended I "cleanse myself of things that are weighing down on me" or some crap, including this thread. I did talk briefly about it during the "things you enjoy doing" part of our meetings.

I had a bunch of guys kinda depending on me to keep this thing going and I even messed that up.
Genuinely sorry lads, life got in the way.

It's all good, I'm ok now. Might seem silly (I don't know) but just typing that post above was like a massive weight off my shoulders. Breathed a sigh of relief to finally check in here. Nearly 3 months passed... that's scary.

Be online tomorrow again at last. Steering wheel is cold.
 
Hey, I'm glad you're okay. Yeah I was worried, thought something was up? The main thing is you're alive, you're still breathing, and now you're free to play a little Forza! Warm up that steering wheel, get those reflexes going and you'll be posting times in no time!

So how have you been doing RikkiGT-R? I hope you are doing fine and that we may have a GTP Rivals revival soon!

I'm good mate, just trying to sort my life out. I remember being young and free and able to do as I please...

Not sure if I would do a revival. Not that I don't want to, I'd just be horrified to let you guys down again. Maybe a more relaxed "week by week" thing would be ok, rather than committing to 4+ months of events where something was bound to happen somewhere along the line (at least in my life).
