I did these screen shots to make it easier to see what is equipped on the car.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Decided to add Anti-lag, set to strong. For the glorious sound.

 

[DelboyD]

Rule is 170/1000 - all other tuning is ok?

Yes. Tires are Street soft but everything else is OK. As long as you use the parts on the list.

 

[DelboyD]

Thanks. I bought the bits earlier and started a livery.

Won’t have time to test this weekend, so hoping to get some testing done on Wednesday and Thursday,

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I have a few spare liveries if someone want one but doesn't have the time or inclination to make your own.

I've never raced in a private lobby, but I would love to give this a try, because I drive a MiTo in real life and love the little machine. On the other hand, maybe I'm too slow.

You are very welcome. Send me a.friend request as it will be easier to find lobby etc then.

Since you are new to our lobbies let me just quickly go over our rules of racing: pretty much the same as PD, don't make yourself look bad, if you pass someone by pushing, wait and give the spot back, even if it means loosing more spots
Race hard, but fair.
Welcome!

 

[Leon Kowalski]

I've bought the car and all the tuning parts, and edited the settings exactly as you did. PP is 502,69, check. As my language settings are german, it says kW instead of BHP. It's 126 kW. Okay with that?

Edit: and no widebody, right?

125 and you are ok. It will bring you to 169 hp, 124,5 KW I think
No widebody, it's fun to drive but looks bad

No practice, all fun

Sorry for being a noob, but I still don't know how that lobby thing works. Going into multiplayer/online mode, and then?

There is a box once you get in the selection screen, "Show Only Races With Friends" which makes it much easier to find the lobby. As long as you have a friend in that lobby. Also there's normally a chat party that makes it much easier, even if just to listen to instruction.

#64. I should be able to make it. Or in other words, I Mito make it, I Mito not.

Thanks.

My online connection is quite unstable at the moment. Hopefully that gets sorted out till later.

Best is a cable connection to the router. Or a cable via power cable. Clear your temporary files before the race.

I'm connected via Cable. Actually the problem is the provider and the infrastructure. Maybe it's not common knowledge yet, but concerning these issues Germany is a third world country.

Btw which temporary files are you referring to?

Options, network, delete temporary files

 

[Leon Kowalski]

Options, network, delete temporary files

Thx, I'll do that.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Lobby is up. Don't forget the mandatory pit stop

 

[DelboyD]

Good car and track combo. Mistakes are costly! Good fun and lots of close racing.

There might be legs in a MiTo championship.

i thought I’d go long for first stint to get a tyre advantage at end. Ballsed it up by adding fuel and driving sloppy last couple laps before the pit.

it’s a shame the lobby was so glitchy. That’s Sony rather than us? I guess it must be coz everyone was moving about.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

That was great fun albeit some.lagging.
I enjoyed it very much even if I came last
Congratulations to the podium crew

 

[Leon Kowalski]

Besides the lag, that was absolutely fabulous. Some tight battles, some paint scratches, lots of nerve-wracking fun.

Thanks again Grandpa for the event, thanks to everyone for the fun race. A MiTo cup series would be awesome.



Edit: the picture of me in the gravel is of course embarrassing... 🤣
