• TuTu Josh Well Peidio Dim-Sioe: September 18, 2012

[TheHotstepper]

It's Josh's Birthday ( ) and he requested that we run the McLaren. Which is fine... so long as he shows up. Also: TuTu, like any good, self-respecting DJ, does take requests. However, don't expect it to happen immediately. If there's something you want to run, I'll add it to the rotation... it just might be a few weeks. If there's a certain WEEK you want to run it, I need a solid few weeks notice. (Please send me a PM).

Car: McLaren MP4-12C '10

Setup: Stock. Oil Change.

Restrictions
Power: 611hp
Weight: 1350kg
Tires - Racing Medium
Tuning - Prohibited
Lounge: TuTuTuna
Opening Track (good till about 8:30/8:45 when everyone tires of it): London.


ADDENDUM:

I am in no way certified to be giving driving tips, but here's one to try on for size: if you are a few car lengths behind someone going into a corner and they brake before you do, MOVE. Change your line - and that doesn't mean dive to the inside, you need to be going to the outside of the car in front of you if you are going to brake later than they are to avoid hitting them. Ramming someone in the ass with your car is idiotic. You can turn and avoid it. DO SO. But do not divebomb them and wreck them regardless. Show some respect - if you're going to lose it, ruin your own race, not someone else's.

So, in summary and in conclusion, if you found yourself doing this, say, at the last shuffle, figure it out and quit it. Feathers Fins were ruffled last time - namely mine (but also others, it seemed). And this time, if my races are continually ruined by asshattery, I will punt you and I don't care if its, say, your birthday, or not. TAKE A HINT.

Geez, being new, I hope this wasnt me. (Nothing is coming to mind).  I can be aggressive sometimes and 'accidents' may happen when I'm not familiar with the driver I'm battling. This will gert mucho better as I get to know you all. My top priority on the track is to be clean and fair .... anyone has an open invitation to send me a PM for any reason.

[JoshTuna]

i know i was responsible for some of this and for that im sorry guys

[GrumpyTuna]

 Sorry Josh not going to make your birthday race! Taking the wife out to dinner for our 42nd anniversary. Have loads of fun tonight.

[AgentWD40_FL]

Happy Anniversary Grumpy!

Josh, I will try to make an appearance tonight.  I dont have the car, so it would be right off the showroom floor .... but try I will.  My excuse wont be nearly as good as Grumpys.  I'll need to tear myself away from blowing shit up in BF3.

Happy Anniversary Grumpy!

 

42 years.  That's awesome.

You've been married longer than I've been alive!   

[EX_stream_tuna]

i'm hoping to join too... I don't have very many, if any miles on the McLaren yet either. 

[Feldynn]

Congrats Grumpy! 

Happy Bidet Josh! 

With any luck I should be on at some point tonight for some McLaren fax machine goodness!

[slowmantuna]

I was too late and missed all the fun but hbday to Josh and happy anniversary Grumpy...42 years is impressive,I only have 22 years in.... but not all in a row 

[LooneyTuna]

josh!  Happy Anniversary Grumpy!

Not being able to be here as often as I would like and just jumping on Steps invite I was oblivious to all this fine news. That car was really fun to drive. I wish I could have hung around longer as usual. Most every race I was in I was spun out from behind in the first turn or two.    We need to work on that, including myself. 

[Grilled Tuna]

i had the same problem looney think there were a couple people that were having lag issues when running in large groups that was making turn 1 lap 1 at HSR somewhat brutal but other thann that it was a night of some good racing in an exceptionally fast car for tutu. Eggs in the ferrari 458 (the MP4 nemesis car) seemed to have an aero advantage in the corners but less HP for the straights yet enough to drag along on the MP4's coattails.
