Chris wrote:did some more practice tonight. Managed to run 16 laps on my qual set before I ran out of fuel. Set a new pb of 9.35. Average is probably around a mid 9, really feel like theres an 8 in it, if I could just get t1 right :(

Cant wait for tomorrow, its been a while since I have raced with you guys

Stay off the grass. There will be tyres to stop drivers.

Yea try not to go out wide on the grass on that back straight, will add a line of tyres there, wont cover all the grass but most of it.

LOL. Yhe reason for "Not going on the grass) is so people don't cut corners deliberatly. (Hence cheating). Now for BL2 alot go onto the grass (Back straight) to get a better line into the corner, Hence 4 wheel off track to help you is against the rules.

Plus if it's close racing and say you go off the track to get a better angle, Another rule also kicks in, You coming back onto the track, you have to give way LOL.

WOW some great Times was had tonight. Brings the best out, Some of you should do Hot laps.

Biggest fail for me since the first marrage LOL

Yet again (have a few replays) Mike takes me out down the back straight, Result damaged rear.

from there it was hard, as clutch wasn't going to good.

Got back to 5th (and in a world of my own) KK says something (turn sharp right into the wall) LOL (not KK's fault) 5th to 13th in no time.
But going off the dirt on the last (yeah last place) the race ended and didn't even get a place on the results

Race 2, I'll say it, Lets sort out whats going to happen on lap 1 (too many restarts for me), but going well and in 4th, thought I could do a quick move of Racefactor off the race line and carry on (as was a good gap behind), but clutch said (you dumb arse) and burnt out race 2 died there.

Great night, and good to be there and see some good times. Best I could do was a 1.09.76 (at that time it got 1/14, but i'd say about 6th fastest now).

Loved the racing. It's a hard track, but reverse is more of a go.

Heard a Demo darby from someone. Maybe Team racing (team of 2 or 3 as a fill in race) but BL2r

Too much smashing into turn 1 for me. Don't know why people just can't slow down... there is so much time to do passing and pushing later. Got a ridiculous ram from someone from behind in race 2 going 1st into the T1 but unfortunately the race didn't get restarted for back markers like me.

Who was it doing the smashing?

Tiptop got you there mate in R2 T1 and yes it was pretty aggressive out there last night but its a totally different style of racing in rally and with such a short track, early position is everything and with a fairly large field there will undoubtedly be casualties. We do try to be fair when players are taken out of play unfairly on T1 but usually maintain a "3 STARTS ONLY" rule per race. May I suggest you do yourself a favour and install mumble to facilitate necessary communication with race control and fellow racers.....makes things so much easier dude.

My take on the night? Bloody awesome!!
