Im out of this round as ill be at bathurst

Sorry can't make this round. The mountain is calling me

In

Keen.. will practice tonight.

We should get the 2 new guys in if they are free

Hi. Just to clarify is this daylight saving time? I'm in Queensland so thought I'd confirm

Yep 8:30 nsw time

Set a track time of 2.06..... hope this is enough to keep pace! Anyone have any tunes they want to share? I did find one when I searched ozfm and it helped. I can't remember your gamer tag (started with c) but thank you

Tunny. That is competitive for Challenge class. I am also running 2:06s. In this series cars must be stock, which really only leaves you with tyre pressures to play with.

Oh true, Can suspension adjustments also be made? realised it was stock only I just thought that was parts wise as the vehicle comes in game...? I could be keen for tonight but am yet to apply a livery to the vehicle as i have missed the last 2 races, I won't know if i can make it until I get home though so don't want to muck you guys around.

the build is 100% stock, but you can tune whatever is available

I have shared a tune under OZFM look for WoodyLizard as the creator. Basically I have reduced tyre pressures slightly and increased suspension by 20kg each end. 1:59.6 lap time (I'm Amateur class).

Hopefully I make it, missed last round, sorry, been unwell.

Gonna look for your tune Neil05 - I need all the help I can get :p

Not gonna be able to join you chaps tonight, will try and get a livery sorted out this week and join for the final 2 races if that is ok, happy to run for no points just want to have a run before the V8 Series starts.

Hi guys I can't make it tonight ether it sucks but what can you do

Cheers Tunny - don't consider myself much of a tuner, but happy if it helps you at all. I've just shared another one after having a bit of a practice at Cota west - I found this track a son of an unmarried woman for oversteer in a lot of corners, and feel I have fixed that a bit. Happy to post up the settings if anyone is interested

That would be awesome cosmic cheers. I'll try your new one out see which is better. If you could share the numbers that would be a huge help. I wanted to see what sort of things you were changing but as it is locked wouldn't let me . I want to try and do some tunes myself soon

How does this all kick off, I am an utter noob when it comes to organised racing, most I have done is jump in the hoppers and played dodgem cars with the rest of the scrubs.

Do we wait for an invite?

Congrats to all tonight for great racing - had some great battles with threshold and ratel.
Congrats to the new members as well for keeping it clean.

Thanks for letting the new guys run tonight, was great experience. For any one that I got in the way of, thank you for the patience, I tried to provide passing opportunities in open sections.

Was surprised to hear how many are using controls, I just bought a G920 today expecting it to help keep clean lines and really struggled. I know I read a rather technical article from a forza dev (cant remember where it was) that gives me some hope for the wheel, I will persevere for now and see what comes of it.

It was a fun night. Got some serious damage in the last race after coming together with Cosmic at the start of race through the sweeping curves, causing my car to keep shifting right and lose of power. Pushed on but just couldn't catch back up to the rear of the field.
