The new car takes some getting used to. :scared:

Lets just say it likes going sideways.


Has anyone got any times for Tokyo? My best so far with about 30mins practice yesterday was a 2'04'7xx but I reckon I can get at least another second out of there. The bump right in the braking zone for turn 1 is killing me. :yuck:
 
Arunda, you sure you're using Sports Softs? I haven't really had much oversteer in the car.
 
:lol: Arunda?

Yep definitely, it's just the high speed corners where if you're a bit too aggressive the back steps out- not too hard to correct but hurts your time quite considerably.
 
Hmm.

Carbonox will be most displeased. :)
 
It might just be me being dim though. :dunce:

I think it's just because of the weight shift at the rear, you can feel the rear load up as you go around the turn and then break free- I'm probably going too fast through the turns.

Also, I officially hate Tokyo reverse, I might be a bit better at another track.
 
Anyone up for a Mock Qualifying Session at about 3 ish?

Might even have a race.
 
I'd be up for that Dax
 
OK cool.

2:03.3 is my best time, could get a 2.02.9, the key is not to brake, just let the speed push you though the corners.
 
I haven't even bought the car yet :trouble:
 
Practise room up, mics on.

Thanks I'll work on it. 👍
 
Still got a room up? :dopey:
 
What times did you guys get in practice?

I would've joined if I'd known. :(

Times were like 2.03.xx but there is a bit to come.
 
I'm not too far off the pace then. :)
 
Nope, should be a good race.
 
NEED MORE PPLZ!!!

Seriously, need some more people :nervous::scared:
 
I reckon we'll need about 13/14 before we can start. So still at least 4 people to find. :nervous:
 
We'd be better off just sticking to twelve and being certain of no DC's
 
Yeah but it's almost certain that 1 or 2 people will be missing each week.
 
usually the last places fill up once you set a date but it always feel risky to do it without being sure ^^
 
Might set a date for next Saturday.
 
You mean a week on Saturday right? Not this Saturday. :scared:

It will hopefully draw in some more competitors, but I'd be happy racing with just the guys we've got as I know you are all clean racers.
 
Okay. Race 1: 11th Feb

Woop! Had better get some practice in this weekend. :)

Also I'll be well prepared for the second race because it's half term, which means I can go on the playstation everyday! :D
