4 hours without a driver swap??? My bladder strugles to last 2.5+/- hours so the pit stop had better be a long one.

I'm really starting to dig the Mansfield track in the McLarens. Lots of swoopies and sliding, but not too uncontrollable. I ran my PB tonight with a 0:57.200, and can run low to mid 0:58s if I can keep a clear head. A lot of concentration needed here!

Guys... we can always change the finale to Saturday. As for driving 4 hours, why do you think they call them pit stops? The car can get loaded while you get "un"loaded.

Weas, the first post lists one driver swap required for the 4-hour finale.

Doug, I would much prefer the race be on Saturday, and moved up to start at 1PM at the latest for our European drivers. I would also like to see the driver swap become optional.

Yes -

One of following is required:

a) Driver swap
b) Toilet Stop

Ok, I'll take Team KT #99 if I can manage to make any races!




The Jedi Master

For all those racing, race is on Smooth is Fast server

Sorry I was late today...I wiped my HD last night and had to reinstal everything because I couldn't beat the trojan stuff my daughter picked up last weekend. When I'd try to drive before I cleaned it up I'd get stutters every once in awhile because something (evil) was doing stuff in the background. I got everything installed right at race time...but I forgot to install my Momo FFB drivers so I had no FFB.

Man, what a blast today was! I really dig these cars and it was a great track. There was a lot of close racing especially for the first half of the race, and even when we got strung out there were still some great battles. DJ and I kept trading positions for a lot of the race. He'd slip up and I'd get by, then later I'd slip up and he'd go around. I thought I had a chance to get him at the end and was right on his back bumper but my left front tire caught the curb in one of the esses and I spun. DOH!

Col Kurtz gave us all a schooling on how to drive these by putting down a blistering pace and never letting up. Congrats on the win!

I'm happy with 1st and 2nd in todays races.Second race was realy good,lots of position changes,and close racing.I started well enough from 2nd place and kept in touch with Col_Kurtz until LC touched me under braking for T1 which caused him to spin and I went offroad but kept my position.Later on there was some bumper to bumper and door to door racing with DJCarney which lasted for a few laps but then he spun in front of me and I hit his car.I managed to slow down just a bit so it didn't cause too much damage,at least on my car.Otherwise there were WeaselKeaper,DBR9 and LC that kept me on my toes and vice versa On lap 11 I did big mistake,lost 15-16 seconds and ended in P8.LazyC got really good run and we were side by side into last righthand corner before sf straight.I wanted to keep left side and make that corner on the outside but had too much speed and went off.Luckily,I managed not to hit the wall.After pitstops I found myself right behind LC in third place and noticed that he was sliding and locking wheels a lot,and finaly I passed him after one of the slides - probably didn't change tires at pitstop huh LC?I think Col_Kurtz too didn't change tires since the gap between us shrunk to 3,5 seconds at the end of the race.
Thanks to all who raced today and cu next time.Oh,and thanks Ahmad for the results

PS: - Isn't that Birmingham Club layout too short?

AMK, I did change tyres at the pitstop but you still managed to close the gap.

I was putting the hammer down in the first stint and got a 25-30sec lead. In the second stint I was going a little quicker but this time, instead of dropping back, you somehow got to within 3 seconds of me towards the final laps. The history graph shows it pretty well. I didn't make any mistakes so I don't know why you were so much quicker in your second stint. Anyway, good driving

These cars feel great at first but then get really loose for me towards the end of my stints, it happened in the Le Mans race and now this one.

Birmingham club is short, but looks like it could be a fun race. Laptimes should be around 0.26 - 0.27

I ran a few laps last night and was steady at :28s. Could be fun, or could be a mess with the spiders and barriers everywhere!
