Sweet, i'll try to join
 
Another good response to a Gr.4 car, again, and the lobby got its second wind until 11, too. Thanks for the challenging racing.

Can anyone explain why, after selecting "friends only", that a lobby of a friend who is marked as being on-line would not be listed? I have not seen that before.

Tracks (Laps):
KDP Yamagiwa 2 (10)
Fuji Speedway (10)
Suzuka (8)

You will want to tune and practice with this car. It needs to be aimed well coming out of curves and be patient with the throttle. It took over 6 hours to plan these races, so do the best that you can with fuel. I couldn't make it any better. Good luck!

Tracks, Conditions (Laps):
Tokyo Expressway Central Outer Loop, Fuel = 5X, (13)
St Croix C, Fuel = 5X, (5)
Nurburgring 24 Hour, Fuel* 4X, (3)

Because some of these races are a bit longer, please practice and prepare before entering. Practice going through both Karousels because it is likely that the front tires with grab and turn the car half way through them. I may be available Sunday afternoon for a tuning and practice session.

The upcoming MNR night will be a special event for a 5th Monday of the month. There will be only one round of races, with 5 very different cars, some of which have special characteristics, two of which will require clear driver attention. Please practice with those cars, for everyone's benefit.

Last Monday's MNR had some electric cars, on purpose. If GT is going to include more electric cars, then we will have to deal with not having ICE sounds, rumbling or not. They just aren't the same.

Thanks for joining us tonight, Rob, and thanks for your settings. Maybe I can manage the excessive front tire wear with it better than with my tune.

Car: Alfa Romeo 4C Gr.3, 495 HP, 2690 lbs, Tires = Sport Soft

Alfa-Romeo-4-C-Gr-3-20211226124433.jpg


Tracks & Conditions (Laps):
Sardegna Road Track A2, Tires = 7X, Fuel = 5X, (9)
Monza, Tires = 8X, Fuel = 5X, (8)
Maggiore GP2, Tires = 6X, Fuel = 6X, (8)

This 4C is a bit unusual in that the default settings are pretty good, its weight/power is 5.4 lbs per HP (which is amazing), and it is the Gr.3 car with the least HP. It will, therefore, be an excellent choice to be our first Gr.3 car to be used with Sport Soft tires! Please practice with these tires.

MNR closed out the year with a bang!

A good car convinced drivers who recognized a good room when they see one to drop in a race a real race. It has been encouraging to see more good drivers join in on our fun, too, some old friends, some new ones.

Come join us each week.
