How is that even possible!

Think we should all build one for an oval race…

Just you watch Idle come in and smash a 56 second lap with full fuel and hard tyres on

You can change tyre compounds?! Is that only on Racing tyres or what? Christ i'm such a noob.

Are we still doing the 'trial races' on Sunday night?

Yes mate, that's why race tyres are so useful in this Forza.

In pubic lobbies you can qualify with softs and low fuel then go to mediums for the race

Good to know cheers Gents!

René - I’m about both evenings so happy to go with the flow!

Haha!

That thing will do 178 but looking at the telemetry the fronts are spinning at 257

i'd be tempted to build something to rival that but then isn't it level 30 for engine swaps? sod hat, still messing with the clio and a fiesta i already had in the garage purely as i cba'd grinding.

Ok - car built - paint sorted.

Quick time check to see if I have built a complete shed…

Lime Rock Full - 59.813

I’m at 1.01.390 and I’ve got nothing left to give.

1:00:965 was best for me. Closer than I thought I’d be!

Just managed a 58.676 on mediums, totally inconsistent until that one.

Definitely happy with the car

Banned

[Rene Souffle]

I’ve just pinged everyone a message on Xbox chat but also thought I’ll pop it on here.

Going to run this Sundays test session tomorrow night instead as it’s Mother’s Day and appreciate some people might be out.

Hope to see a few of your there

Can I change it without turning everything to KMs?

[pingu393]

I'm in the 1.03s and 1.04s. My first challenge is to not be lapped .

[LHB]

Still yet to bloody test or make a car, I’m slacking… won’t be able to join the Saturday session either I’m afraid boys, got a second date round my place and I don’t think she’d appreciate me lapping some hot hatches for a while whilst making obscene jokes

I’ll try and make a car and see where my benchmark is compared to you guys soon! Really looking forward to this series

[DrEMa]

I was like that with the integrale, thought I was doing well. Changed car now

I’d definitely be happy too with a time like that!

I’m down to 1.00.2… but can’t see getting much more! I’ll definitely be eligible for a few +PI points after the first few races

Spent too long on my livery to go back now

[GreatCornholio]

Are we still having a practice tonight??

[Rene Souffle]

Yessir.

Lobby will be open from about 7.45

[AndyD360]

Should be on about 8

[pingu393]

I got it to work

I need to find out why I don't have a microphone.

It was all a bit of a rush...

1900 called out for work
1935 work finished
1945 in the lobby and racing
2020 wifey calls wanting a lift home
2040 back in the lobby

My new target is to finish within 2 minutes of the winner

Many thanks to Rene for hosting

[Chunkychucky]

Thanks for hosting Rene, great fun racing with you chaps again!

Some good racing with Kitch, though for some reason after Le Mans couldn’t hear his mic Looking forward to next time!
