I feel so sad and so downhearted that title should have been "I'm dancing in a Spa"

Hi Larry, our South African GT Sport league starts up this Thursday again so will be late to join you guys.

 

[MikeyLCR]

Rain is for ducks I must be the only person who really didn't give a monkeys about rain in the game, only time I ever raced in it was in campaign mode when you had no choice.

 

[Bass Addict]

Rain is for ducks

I hear you Mike...this is probably going to be one and done!

Phillip left the keys to TFN with me...

 

[MikeyLCR]

I live in Wales, got all the rain I need right here

 

[Bass Addict]

I live in Wales, got all the rain I need right here

I will put you on the pole Mike!

 

[roamer2629]

I'll be there in my S2000

 

[Bass Addict]

Some more research and testing shows three rain times: 04:45 - 10:45 - 17:30

10:45 is the most wet and is very difficult on any other tire other than heavy wets. Our sprint races will be at this time of day.

04:45 is not bad...starts to bring in the possibility of other tire compounds for better pilots than me!

17:30 is the "driest" wet condition and I will open up the tire selection for the proper race on RBR. 👍

Remember, have all three cars available for the sprint races...a different car for each race.

Hence the reason why we went south to Ringwood for a short break Mike,
no rain yet.

Missing Thursday fun night already

[roamer2629]

Sorry about all that people. Didn't mean to be rude but can't have Mikey or anyone else for that matter, miss out on the races because of my issues.
Thanks all for trying 👍

Don't give up mate we all really enjoy it when you're racing with us so I hope we'll see you again next Thursday. (FYI: The lobby was being really odd tonight so I don't think it was all you this time)

 

[dranddad]

We are watching the air show as we're right by Hurn Airport

Euro fighter just did a stalled turn 200ft ish above our heads, I'm sure I felt a bit of wash from it

 

[Pigpin13]

Anyone up for some goofing around? I’ll put up a room in a few

 

[Jamie duerden]

Say Phil, bit of an idea for a Thursday night one time, call it cockpit convertibles, I know that sounds like a bit of a dodgy adult grumble flick but stay with me, you have to drive in cockpit view and any cars used can be anything as long as it ain’t got a roof, I haven’t gone any further than this as to what cars, tracks, power/weight, one make races or anything, too much thinking starts to hurt my head, what u think?

 

[dranddad]

I've thought the same before of cockpit racing, as that view is only any use with vr we could do another night this week of free for all.

Each of us picks a combo and we can try out racing in cockpit view, we can also run Antony's staggered start working on reverse grid of previous race.

Dirt, wet, open cockpit, VGT only, maybe a Nova race .

As I've been away and come back to looking after 3 grandkids for two days and over night youngest 10 months, I'll not have much time to sort anything this week.

Hi Philip, I've managed to create a spreadsheet for this but need to test it with a few actual races.
I should be able to commit to hosting in a few weeks time but perhaps we could try a race or 2 on later on Thursday evening when i can join.

 

[dranddad]

Great work Antony, we'll save that race thrusday for you. I'm sure there will be lots of variety this tfn, going on the last free for all night.

We have a great crew with lots of ideas.

 

[dranddad]

Free for all

Room ID 0475-4203-5836-0884-7428

 

[Pigpin13]

I’ll be there in about 2 hours

 

[geeTeye]

Not going to make tonight, sorry gents!

Porsche Fest @ Fuji long and short

Thursday 12th @ 19:00

Finishing off with the Porsche 962 C '88
​

A medley of Porsche races at Fuji. starting proceedings for race one in the 911 Turbo '81

Tire and Fuel will be set at T/16 and F/ 8 for all the races. As each group is different how it uses these you may have to manage this. Pit for tires or just fuel. Try and run the full race or quick pit for fresh rubber.

The grid start, thanks to Antony we shell try his idea of a staggered start. Host pick for the first race,

Line one goes at the green light. Line two on the grid waits 2 seconds. Line 3 on the grid waits 4 seconds. Line 4 on the grid waits 6 seconds and so on.

This should help the not so quick of us, also help in getting that notorious turn one cleared without incidents sorry

1) Fuji short 5 laps
Porsche 911 turbo '81
Sport Soft tyres
Default settings

2) Fuji long 8 laps
Porsche Cayman GT4 Club '16
Racing Hard

Thursday Fun Night Porsche Fest

TFN 12/09/2019 Pictures

Just a few.

And Jamie takes the Win

But only just Chris was closing fast

I'm starting to struggle for ideas with the lack of new content (Tracks) so I may revisit some of our past events with a change of car and format.​

We could try a Goodwood festival night on Thursday if you have not seen

Cobra, E-type, corvette, mini and more

Hopefully this link works for you, if not search Goodwood Revival for more pictures.

https://www.goodwood.com/grr/event-...2019/9/gallery-the-best-of-sunday-at-revival/

I watched the main feature race Sunday 1 hour long and it was gripping from start to finish poor Karun Chandhok didn't get to race as the lap before the changeover Lee (whats it name) stuffed it into the wall.

I would say pick a number of cars from different groups and in keeping with Goodwood paint them all in one colour with nice big round numbers on as in the photos from the link.

A few I've got ready in a bright green and number 97 so they stand out on the grid, that is if you're interested in this for Thursday fun.

I see a lot were at Interlagos Sunday in a long race so maybe some short races would fit well.

A Late arrival to the mix.

#59 McLaren Orange for tomorrow!
