Well done to everybody, not sure if you realised but i think might be one of the closest weeks we have had so far, with about 14.5 seconds from 1st to 9th positions, excellent racing and good to see it so tight, also hats off to the sub 7 minute gang 👍

Here is the updated leaderboard :

As usual please post your replays if you have the means to do so, I have about 3 to watch i think and will try and comment on those and also leave feedback for this week and the last couple just gone, Ive been struggling for time recently but getting round to everything in the end

Cheers everyone been a great week, just a reminder you have TWO weeks for week 10 which is the first week to incorporate RACING SUSPENSION so should be an interesting one!!

best regards

Dave

Whoa, it's tight at the top! Congrats to Dr W and VEXD for cracking the 7 min barrier, and to Dave for coming mighty close.

I'll post my replay when I can.

Well done everyone. 👍

 

[goixoye]

Congrats podium winners. Good work everyone. The first 4 positions seem to be fixed. 5th and below it seems there's a fair amount of jostling back and forth. Seems like it's getting tighter every week.

Surprised not to see the Kolinator...thought next week was her vacation. Hope everything's OK.

 

[RedOak]

thanks Dave, couldn't ve done it without ya!

[Soyfu]

Wow, I really could've done well this week. My time included two spins that easily lost me 10 seconds. One spin was a full 360 while the other was a 180 that I corrected with a J-turn. Amazingly, I was on the tar the whole time. It was my only clean lap!

EDIT:

Part of my problem of having only one clean lap in 300 miles was because I intentionally set up the car to be a bit squirrelly.

6.0/5.0
99/99
8/6
2.0/0.5

I liked how it handled but I think it was bottoming out on some sections which made them very hazardous.

Later, I reverted back to the defaults and only increased the front camber to 2.0. It was much more stable and felt safer but I still couldn't put together another clean lap.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

I just want to congratulate Dr. Watson on his usage of the Buffalo Sabres logo in his Avatar. Go Sabres! Yes, I live in Tokyo Japan but am a diehard Sabres fan.

 

[VEXD]

Well done everyone this weeks car was a heavy handful, ill get all my replays up one day.

It was close at the top, and if i'd had more time it wouldve been closer, but as usual, i was roasted by two seconds again!

That impressive!

Good luck over the next two weex everyone, Dave thanx for typing my name right, and have a good festive season the lot of you....

lets have a look at the race then...

off i go
👍

 

[Steve57]

Well done all, that was a pretty tight battle, very close right thru the results 👍
Yes it was a heavy beasty to get around, but the main thing that irked me was the
ratio of 2nd and 3rd gears I could never decide which one I should have been in on
quite a lot of the corners, in 2nd it was at redline but it still had a little to give, but in 3rd
it seemed to chug despite the massive torque curve the SL55 has.

Anyway onward to the S2000 GT1, I'm sure it will keep me Amused for a
couple of weeks, so good luck all 👍.

Hopefully my Pal replay is attached and is the right one

Mind as well hijack this thread to point out... after last-night's win, we're tied for SECOND in the NHL.
best team we've had since the 80's...
