Racers Reunited. It's over! RR GT6 is no more. Tuesday's will now be for GTS (Maybe PC2 some times)

[JockeP22]

my phone is one that just makes phone calls and that's it

I'm still using one of those

Pretty soon they'll make phones where you can do everything but make a
phone call.


Edit;
Nice photos, nuts.

 

[Cu3e]

Last week I heard that standard Nokia tune from someone's phone. Can't remember when I last heard that. A jingle from the past...

This is probably true.
What, you want to actually talk to someone!


It looks as if it's going to be the Alpine for this week Zolon. I've still got one setup to Coke's recent specs. Or will you be running them untuned?


Tarnheld is running Mondays Zero cup club at the moment. Untuned one make 20 minute races.
It's the Mini Marcos on CM's tonight. If anyone is free, I'm sure he'd be happy to see you.

I'm going for untuned Paul. In stock condition it's a belting car.

If anyone is free, I'm sure he'd be happy to see you

I'd love to be there, but my time on the game is seriously limited, so Tuesdays are about all I can manage, before the divorce


I think I understand where Jocke is coming from on the name thing regarding our merry group, so I'm going to put it to a vote. If anyone has any thoughts on what you would like us to be known as please let my know by private message her or on PSN and I'll set the vote up in a couple of days.

See you all tomorrow night.

Cheers, Zo.

You need a few more book club nights.

Alpine - untuned it is then. I'll get one painted up and numbered.
What tyres are you thinking of using? Race softs!

I'll set the vote up in a couple of days.

I think you have to contact a mod to change the voting thingy. Jocke would know.
I'm still going for "Racers Reunited". A catchy tittle.

It's a phrase from Gran Vals by Francisco
Tárrega.

Very nice

Well, we'll be racing, and they'll be soft, and very comfortable

Cheers, Zo.

Insert crude remarks here:-

'Phwoarr, she can bang my banjo string anytime.'

'I wonder if she'd admire my fingering as much as I hers?'

I was gonna say 'look at the ganglions on that' but she hasn't got any......yet.

Insert crude remarks here:-

Aside from mentioning the necklace you've pretty much got the crude remark side of things covered. Oh dear.

 

[Cu3e]

Necklace? There was a necklace?

 

[polysmut]

Necklace? There was a necklace?

Yeah, possibly a pearl one. But that can sound rude.

Hi Zolon bit behind with everything going on in life, may I ask is there a race on tomorrow night in the Alpines?

 

[IfAndOr]

Hi Zolon bit behind with everything going on in life, may I ask is there a race on tomorrow night in the Alpines?

There should be Coke. Alpines untuned on CS tyres. 9pm for us (I think).

Race 1, Brands Hatch GP Circuit.
Race 2, Grand Valley (full circuit).

 

[Zolon32]

Hi Zolon bit behind with everything going on in life, may I ask is there a race on tomorrow night in the Alpines?

Paul's right Coke. 9pm start, but I'll be on earlier than that I hope.

We're going to try the strong slipstream thing we did with Paul and Nuts a few weeks ago, only in the Alpine 110 '72 this time. I'm expecting very tight racing indeed. Brands Hatch should be ideal for that sort of thing.

Cheers, Zo.

 

[cokebloke]

Damn and blast just been informed by the wife we"re out tomorrow night sorry Zo would have luved this one I keep finding real life really spoils my fun........hopefully next week

 

[Zolon32]

No problem Coke. You'll love next week. 'Taking it for a Spin', my take on the old 'Turnaround' races.

Cheers, Zo.

 

[Zebaldus]

Hi Zo
Cant make it tonight but would like to join some other time if that is ok?
Hardly race on the PS3 and GT6 anymoore =( have to change that.

 

[tarnheld]

Sorry guys, didn't make it last time, and can't make it tonight. But postponed isn't canceled, see you next time. Have fun in the Alpine!

 

[Zolon32]

Cant make it tonight but would like to join some other time if that is ok?

can't make it tonight.

Never mind fellas, I'll keep the old GT6 fire burning as long as I can, so it'll be there when you can make it.

Cheers, Zo

 

[Cu3e]

I think I should be able to make it unless I fall asleep before that

The Moderator TB has helped me delete a few polls in the past. He's very friendly.

Practice room open 👍

 

[Cu3e]

Awesome car and awesome battles, especially in the second race. I was puzzled why people slowed down Regrouping? Well, I kept racing and got an undeserved 3rd place

 

[JockeP22]

It's good to take the opportunities when they come. 👍


Thanks for Alpining us today, Zo.

I'm still going for "Racers Reunited". A catchy tittle.

I'd vote for that, Paul.

 

[IfAndOr]

Yes it is a great little car. Just call it the Alpine Club and we'll race them every week.

The increased drafting worked quite well I thought - if you had someone to draft.
In fact it worked too well at Grand Valley, I kept picking up that much speed I missed my braking point at the end of the pit straight.

I think the only way to keep the chasing pack together for longer would be to use light boost instead of the draft. I'm sure Dusty & Nut's would still be out front. Might be worth a try one week.

Anyway Zo for the evening's entertainment.

 

[cokebloke]

So wished I could have been there sounds like you guys had fun still perhaps we can hold another Alpine night at some stage, glad you all had fun.

 

[Sutsagrd]

The alpine is a beautifully balanced car.
I had the closest battle ever with flatplanecrank and later Zo at Brands. Last lap I was 5th and very accepting then Zo and FPC went off 3rd last corner gifting me 3rd!!

Gran valley started well until I slipstreamed and slammed into @buybon355. Sorry bb as it stopped us catching up to the leaders.
I managed to claw back up and had good battles all the way.

Happily race alpines all the time.
Thanks Zo for fun racing.

 

[Cu3e]

It's good to take the opportunities when they come. 👍

Usually I end up on sand at least once per race, so I thought I keep the pace while I can

Also I thought that the small pack that I was racing earlier could get advantage from slipstream and catch up, but it seemed they were concentrating on fighting and having fun by themselves 👍

 

[buybon355]

No problem suts we had a great battle, side by side for corner after corner, each giving racing room. Was really excellent. Taps happen, we know nothing is intentional, the extra draft caught us all out I think. Enjoyed the racing although way off the pace at brands. Good friend jocke hung back and kept me company or it would have been a lonely race
