Yep im getting used to the wheel a bit better now aye.. definetly getting better each week.

Even managed a 42.80 last night and then a string of other high 42s aswell! I was quite happy with that

1st race started 5th on the grid got caught up with a lag issue with steala and r33 or kk in the second lap through the esses, managed to catch up to kk then spun again and he got too far ahead cause i reset.

2nd race was mid grid ended up 6th place and was trying to catch slyguy but spun i think

3rd was reverse and was mid grid managed to get up to 2nd place then was bumped by 4aged and about 4 people got past me. then i had steala and kronik chasing me but managed to hold them off.

having 0kg weight penalty meant i had to be real careful on the throttle and couldnt keep the rear end planted through the bumpy corners as easily. but definetly had balls of fun

yea sorry about that bump that was kinda stink, you really had pace on that straight with no weight but yea the weight seems to makes this car easier to drive. good that yourn getting up to speed (pun) with your wheel

Well even more bad news for me. My brand new computer (2 months old) decided to shit itself yesterday afternoon. So depending on how bad and what exactly has gone wrong, I may not even be back for the final round either. Cant even boot it up in safe mode now, so am thinking it some sort of hardware failure rather than software. Thats the third toy i've bought this year that has shat itself lol, first it was the MR2, then our racehorse, and now the bloody computer!
