I just noticed how many of the last cars, including the Honda Civic, are at 10 lbs per Horse Power.

Odd that.
 
This upcoming Monday is a holiday and I can't host, so we will take a rare break from racing next week.

Tracks and Laps
BB Raceway 2 (20)

Barcelona is a 20 minute race, as compensation for the 1st two.

Such a wonderful car, sounds great! Seriously, I can't find a fault in its handling, except for its low HP.

What a joy to drive and the CM tires were just right for it.

We capped off a fun night with two laps on the Nordschleife, too.

Tracks and Laps:

Special Stage Route X, with High Boost (2)

Watch out for downshifting. The high boost on Route X should make for a fun race, but you will need to adjust your gears for drafting.

Buy the Alfa Romeo 4C Gr.3 Road Car for next Monday's MNR. It is on sale this week for only 5,000 credits.

Practice driving it because, being a short-wheelbased MR, its handling is a bit inconsistent.

Tracks and laps:

This heavy car needs a tune, and watch braking and your diff braking setting.
 
Remember, today is your last chance to buy the BMW Safety Car, for the special event, next month!

October 14th will be a 2fer. Not only is this the Canadian Thanksgiving day, but it will be my 65th birthday, so please try to join us for some fun racing with friends.
 
Looks fun, I can join in on Mondays from the 30th! I hope to see some of you then! ;)


Thanks, HammyMansell. I like to think of it as challenging fun. It isn't easy, but a few very good drivers rise to the occasion. You would fit right in.

However, drivers of all skill levels join in and are very welcome to race with us and improve their skills in a safe but challenging environment.
 
The AMG was a pretty challenging car to handle on the different tracks. Not impossible, but you do have to pay attention to it.
