Hope to see you there

All signed up and awaiting livery base. Thought these would be bastards to drive with no assists but they're not so bad. Looking forward to it.

Apart from painting my car red, I don't suppose anyone would care to throw a tune my way to make me go faster. Just enough to keep Suncrossed at bay.

Round 1 is tonight on Sebring Full.
2 x 7 lap races and 1 x 16 lap race which is reverse grid.
There is no CPS.
Lobby Restrictions: - All assists are forced off (steering is the only optional assist)
Sign up HERE if you haven't yet. There are still a few spots left.
Lobby to open at 8pm AEST with racing kicking off between 8.30 and 9pm AEST.
See you there

Couldn't get in unfortunately, full reset of everything didn't help, all tested fine just a standard time out on trying to get into the lobby, hope it was a great night was looking forward to this

I was looking forward to a tussle with Goomf!

Then by some miracle I did get in and pedals seemed to play up for the first race and a half and then all good, but still couldn't drive these cars!

Thanks for the persistences fellas appreciate it!

Yay looked forward to these all day. Practice was fine all day, 2 mins before race cant join the lobby. Sad panda #FML

Glad you made it Suncrossed. While we didn't have the battles I'd hope, you made it so I couldn't afford to drift off too much which so easily happens when you're way behind everyone else and feel like you're driving by yourself. I was a tad late for work but had to risk staying for the last race. Didn't want to lose those precious points seeing as you beat me last series.

Bugger about the comms but glad you enjoyed my manboobs Zab. You have to mention my car in store to get the 42% sale price. BTW, you really didn't have to apologise/stop for me but thanks anyway. I was having trouble keeping the rubber flat and was pretty irratic through that section. I think you were right to pass me. Even though we scraped, it really didn't hinder more than what I was already achieving myself.

And as I explained but no-one heard, the red rat as my icon was there because it not only matched my car colours, I unfortunately had to kill one we'd caught in our kitchen.

Im not aiming this at Sly but I feel like im repeating myself more then Matt White at the end of a race by saying this:

If you have't opened you ports - DO IT!

Its not fair on those who have done the right thing because others haven't - ask if you dont know what to do.

I'm thinking of incorporating a rolling start into the next round.
What do you guys think ?

For both races or just the enduro? And I'm guessing for the first corner blues more for the latter because people know their brake markers better at speed. Either way, whatever you experienced drivers reckon.

I think the ozfm nationals are a good place to try new things and test concept ideas for potential use in Tuesday night series. Why not.

I'm on. Lol

Sorry for being a downer last night. Long day and driving for an hour was actually very theraputic, although the connection hysterics was really what I needed. Wish we could save at any point. It was awesome.

Why the early starts Clarko? I can't do 8pm lobby with 8.30 starts and is generally when many households are winding up for the night, kids, TV programs etc... Seams an odd time to lock in uninterrupted racing.

I didn't actually pay attention to that and was just lucky I was on. In general I won't always make this earlier start either...not that that probably matters...unless Suncrossed is on...or NoRecoil...or Dektra...hell, I'm not doing as badly as I should be.

I said to Recoil who was hosting, That I wanted to wait for you.
I have been stating that the races would start between 8.30 and 9 depending on If we had everyone in the lobby yet.
The earlier start time was to try and get some other people in that couldn't race later but that hasn't seemed to work.
So from now on no race will start before 9.00pm unless everyone is in the lobby.
I'm sorry that you missed the first race last night.

Ok thanks Clarko. I know it's hard for the Kiwi's to race during the week because their in the future and it's getting late for them. Looking forward to next week.

If someone could send me the livery template I should be able to race this round coming.
Better late then never I guess.
