I've been lurking this thread recently and I agree. Maybe include the room ID in the master post. I do like the idea of this thread, though. My only gripe is that the master post is a little sloppy. In spite of that, it seems to have a pretty dedicated following. But yeah, to be more inclusive, sharing the room ID more consistently would be a definite help for people wanting to join.

@Satomiblood thank you kind Sir
Some very good sound advise, My problem is I'm getting on a bit in years and I have a tendency to forget things very easy. As you say you've been lurking this thread recently, maybe you would be so kind each week to give me a prompt or a little nudge.
That would help me no end.
Again thanks very much for your insight.

G29 with Omega GT stand, office chair and a sort of old fart behind the wheel.
I admit, sometimes I struggle to find the particulars for the events as well. Anyone taken a look at how some of the other threads are managing the posting of new events in an ongoing thread. May get some ideas there.

@Stig I'll try to get there Tuesdays is not to easy for me, we tend to have a mid-week Family dinner night with copious amounts of bubbly and red wine.
On a lighter note a little later, I'll send you all a couple of upcoming events we've been working on. Keeping the theme of.
As Andy (renrag) put it, Fresh.
Wanted to give plenty of notice for these, but didn't want to mix up the thread to much, and create confusion.
Phillip.

Thank you MrCooper
This is why I said it's our TFN we all contribute in our own way, makes for a very interesting and relaxed evening.
This is pretty much the reason that I admire the following this group has. For example, that Arbath event at Tsukuba with the chicane rule.

Thustmaster T150, VEVO wheel stand and RIG PS4 head phones.All the time on gts I've never had a person struggle to find a lobby before unless not been friends in psn. But saying that since last update there's been a lot of weird things happening. I like the idea of lobby i-D number it could save a lot of issues.

I've heard it makes a big difference in braking (particularly trail braking) but I'm not sure how how to explain to my wife why I need to modify a $300 wheel and void its warranty
Regarding this weeks combo I have no idea what kind of tire/ pit strategy to use.
Here's what I observed with limited testing
- Fuel range is 12 laps (w max power)
- On RS I could only get 5 laps out of the RF (I only would only trust it for 4 laps)
- You can easily go 10+ laps on RH and not a lot of time difference between them on fresh rubber.
- Pit stops are fast (think 15 seconds for 1/2 tank of fuel)
My "type A" personality does not like this
but it should be fun 👍

Never looked at modding it, what does it involve?
To be honest if I change I'll probably upgrade the lot at some point, maybe go for a load cell, I don't have a wife so only have to persuade myself that it's a good idea........and that's not hard

I was really going for the no strategy angle on this one. Just wanted a fun race. I think the racing soft tire will keep things interesting. When I was testing it, I put more thought into what would be a fun car to drive and what would be simple. Hope everyone finds it as fun as I have.I've heard it makes a big difference in braking (particularly trail braking) but I'm not sure how how to explain to my wife why I need to modify a $300 wheel and void its warranty

Maybe there is no strategy this week? Put your foot to the floor and pit before you put it in the fence

just taking the cover off and removing a black "rubber" stopper. There are youtube videos that discuss the benefits of removing it (was not on the G27 pedals) and how to do it.
I knew you were in trouble trying to power slide an N300 car on Racing Soft tires....Pictures reflect what I imagined would happen
Love your livery 👍
Objective achieved Joe! The ultra fast pit stops at this track is what really pulls this off effectively. Thanks for your efforts putting this together.👍I was really going for the no strategy angle on this one. Just wanted a fun race. I think the racing soft tire will keep things interesting.
