Stay well clear of the sausages or you'll get fried.

But here is a different outlook from the Samba.

This sounds like a good time @dranddad đź‘Ť
Unfortunately I'm GMT -5.
Saw you mention 2 shifts somewhere? If this is the case I would love to attend.

Clean respectful racer, just slow.:dopey:

:gtpflag::cheers:

If you are on the east coast. Normal start time is around 5pm. However, we usually hang around for awhile. So, if you get on late, check for the room. We will probably still be racing. Bonus points if you have a mic and participate in the voice chat. Hope to see you there :cheers:
 
Thanks Joe, couldn't have put it better sir.

I'll just add, add members to your friends list as the rooms are private. Members from the US may open rooms later too as Joe has mentioned, if it so happens that number call for two rooms then we can cover that too.

Hope you manage to join us at some point, it is casual so no need to book your seat, pop in and out as you will.

I'm only doing double shift for members in the EU who find the later start, to take in the US time zone to late, as I had one or two mention.
 
Had and absolute blast tonight gentleman :dopey:

You have restored my faith in the fact that there are still some who do this for the enjoyment factor!

I've been taking part in leagues and lobbies in GTS, Assetto and pcars2. Got tired of the trolls and knuckle heads so retired to single player active.

This is the first lobby I've been in since. When you can go 2 wide into the chicane at Tokyo and both cars make it, that's good racing!!! :bowdown:

Anytime you'll have me I'll be back:D

:cheers:
:gtpflag:
 
Thanks nice write up oldguy we are glad you enjoyed your evening/afternoon, we try to please all pallets, sometimes it works no doubt some will not. There is a good mix of events posted here in the up-coming event list, take a look, if you like the flavor of any one you can always request in the thread.

No it's not a mirror image and your not seeing double

This is how Mysteron71 and Mr Bass managed some how to take Larry's corner.

:bowdown:And they didn't touch at any point. :bowdown:​

All these little things help me, Mr Cooper has nominated GT-R Nismo '17 @ Fuji next. this is a hard one (no frustrating) I thought of just a straight race, on reflection I think 2 equal 8 laps maybe more calming and still have some hair left on your head after it.

TFN Japaneses theme.

Those that have tested this may feel different, one short one long or even 3 short may well be the order.

Give me your thoughts please
​
Over the last few weeks I've tested your resolve, Samba/beetle in the dirt. Eye poping Gr2 on the streets, testing an infuriating GT-R most have made the grade. I think one or two may need a refresher after testing this one (you know who you are) but I did say I'll bring you variety. pause for thought, now will it be Karts at Willow or Gr1 Suzuka to follow. :crazy::lol:

Good company last night, very nice to see Argon (mike ) back for more punishment. So too Mysteron, Pokey and Oldguy :bowdown:

Mr Cooper voted Fuji, so off to Fuji we go.

7th March @ 19:00 GMT

Fuji Inter.. Speedway ---------- Nissan GT-R Nismo '17 Straight race Default but Drafty - Draughty :boggled: Sport Medium tyres.

A night of Sprint races.

5 or 6 laps sprints.

As this car is something else to stop once you've managed to get it going, I think a night of short sprints is the order.
​
Nissan GT-R Nismo '17 4WD
Car is default straight from the showroom

Tyres Sport Medium with no wear. (can you imagine trying to stop this on half worn tyres)
Fuel no usage.

Lobby set to tuning prohibited.
Slipstream set to strong.
Mixed grid settings.

As this car is a pain, you've got it going now how do you stop it. If that's not bad enough getting it to turn after you've managed to scrub some speed off is something else.

Going to set slipstream to strong here just to improve drafting at the end of the pit straight, If you can manage to get bumper to bumper out of the last turn, at the end of the race, it could be interesting who makes the line first.

@dranddad awesome picture Phillip! đź‘Ť

It was great to have @oldguy58 Scott & @Mr P Ron join us on track...:cool::cool:

Fuji will be a tough one for me in the GT-R so I would be grateful for 2 short and 1 long race but I am good with whatever the group wants to do...:) I hope we can fill the grid next week - imagine 16 cars heading into turn one! :eek:

:cheers:

Made an executive decision and made it short sprints, well tentative sprints. :mischievous:

As we knew it was coming I've posted it here being a simple jump in, go, stop, turn race. :sly:
