^^It happens.  And this track doesn't rub some people the right way

^you're ballast free now!

Did a few practice races with TunaPhreak last night.  Lap times seemed quite similar between us, but its easy to get separation if a driver cuts a turn "just" a bit too much and hits the inside Armco.  With a low tank of fuel I was able to click off a mid 1:35 time, 1:36 flat with a most full load.  Majority of laps were in the 1:37-1:38 range.

Plan on 37 laps this week.  And after the main event there will be a bonus race!  10 laps in 100cc Karts

I'm sorry guys but I think I'm going to withdraw from the series. I just don't have the time these days with my family obligations.

I really did want to run the series but just can't seem to find the seat time. The 1rd race was actually the 1th time since June that I turned on the game. It might just be depression after doing so shitty in every race this year.

I have gotten the go ahead from the lovely :nagnag wife that if I sell the stationary bike (which never gets used) then I can set up my rig in the other room and actually be able to practice. That would be a good idea before running a race.

I want to apologize to Dawson for not being there, I know how much of an effort it is to do this. I hope everyone has a great series and good luck to all.

Thanks for letting us know Leaf.  Your departure will be missed!

BTW all, there was an error in the finishing order of the last race.  Updating/correcting that shortly.

I may miss tonight.  I've got to work late and have quite a bit to do after work as well.

I think I can do this with just two stops, but it'll be ugly.  What's the plan for everyone else...2 stops or 3 stops?

[Metal]

what time do you guys generally start? if its manageable for me, i might be able to step in for someone's absence. i miss competitive racing

I'm sorry I am unable to attend tonight.

I tried 13 laps yesterday Rick, I agree that the last couple of laps are a handful. Not sure which way right now, I guess it will depend on how many times I get the tires red.

found the start time. if there's room i wouldn't mind turning some laps with you guys

Great race last night everyone!  Great to have a newcomer in Metal.

Looks like mmacek96 had a disco on the first lap.  Sucks, but at least it wasn't on the last lap!

Results will be posted later today  

Results from race 4 now posted!

Had a pretty good race in the lower half of the field, I think Rick and I were on the same pitstop strategy so we had a pretty decent battle going all race long though he did his final pit a lap before I did mine (mostly because I wasn't paying attention LOL).  Last stint we were were both chasing F1 around, he and I pitted together but his pit crew just got the jump on mine and we almost had an accident in pit lane .

Goos times for sure!

[Metal]

wish i didn't have to stop 2 extra times to top off my fuel. Whoops! lol

[RickS95]

I was humbled and horrified during last night's race.  Before qualifying started, I expected a long night because with the extra weight I was carrying, I wasn't even close to the fastest laps.  Then I qualified third and thought I'd get a spot on the podium.

That delusion of grandeur was put to rest midway through the first lap.  My car and the other two up front started putting distance on the rest of the pack, but a minute in, I had to slow not to kill the car in second because we both wanted to same line and he had a run on me.  That let the guys behind catch right up.

I tried to catch my friends up front, but went too hard on the brakes in that tight section and started fishtailing, right into the wall.  Welcome to last place.

It never really improved.  I did nothing but hit walls all night and only once came close to my qualifying lap.  Bad night for me. 

[Wolfpack987]

Cote D'Azur is possibly the worst track to carry extra weight on.  Very tough to overcome.  But look on the brightside, as you don't have any extra ballast for Suzuka!

[RickS95]

I adore that track, but it doesn't feel the same way about me.
