Can't get much better with the Clio - just don't have the rhythm.
The BMW is a barrel of laughs and sweat in equal measure.
There is room to improve on that one, but I'm too hot now!
The Clio is surprisingly tail happy, especially through the chicane...the BMW is a lovely car to drive the more you push the trickier it gets which is good...haven't tried the other combos yet. I'm really looking forward to the Lotus49 at Rouen (I have driven that a long time ago, might even have been before release), I think that will be one of my faves...The BMW is a barrel of laughs and sweat in equal measure.

Managed to steal Round1 last night by a tenth from Tronneh (Real Time) not a chance with the handicapped times, good turn out this time around though.
Bring on Round2 it looks like I need to find a good chunk of time after my first 5 lap blast...
Get the laps in peeps, or get ready with your excuses

OK, so weekly missive time. And we're off for championship no 4.
Gav147 won the handicapped race and Born2BSlow nicked the real-time race from Tronneh with a late Wednesday evening burst.
Combined we completed laps comparable to driving from London to just past Rome. I'm full of these fun facts .......
On to Race 2, which I think is a good combo
Enjoy.

Right then boys,as of tomorrow I'm off on my holidays.
Very nice I hear you say, but I don't really give a monkey's.
Well, it may impact you all. This is running off my little PC tucked under my desk, it should take care of itself, it restarts itself in the middle of the night to clear any rogue stuff, takes a database backup and every Thursday at 00.01 it should send out a winner's tweet and recalculate the handicaps.
However, if anything dramatic happens, a big windows update did mean it needed to be manually turned back on once, or my wi-fi dies, or I get robbed etc then the whole thing may go down. If it does then we'll have to sort it out when I get back and jigger about with the race dates to allow for any missed time.

While Mark is off trying his best not to drown teenagers, I have to say I'm loving this combo, but even though I don't think I can find any more time the pure fun of drifting this thing through a series of corners is fantastic...
In other news... I ran my first VR session in iRacing last night, just a test in the MX-5 to get everything set up and working properly. While not as visually impressive as PCars, it works really well. In terms of driving/physics I'd have to say the brakes are the biggest difference, with lateral grip a close second. The car stops on a dime in iRacing which is my experience of track focussed cars in real life, in PCars every car just seems to lock up and become unstable as soon as you hit the brakes. Cornering feels more natural in iRacing and you can lean on the tyres more than PC1. I need to compare it to PC2 now though I suppose. I certainly felt there was more lateral grip there when I ran the games back to back recently.
Anyhoo, happy new week gents. Get some times logged we need to keep Tronneh honest up front...

Please don't tell me your wasting your money on iRacing? more like iMoneyPit!
I'm doing a lot of "proper" racing with these guys at the moment: https://www.facebook.com/groups/EXILEDVIRTUALMOTOR... and https://www.facebook.com/groups/1360320844007983/
Really well run and racing F3, GT3, WTCC and more.
Very different to hotlapping and some very very fast guys there.

I just wanted to try it out, I previously did a 1 month for £6.99 deal without really using it much, but in the Steam sale I just picked up 12 months for under £23. My problem with other leagues is I have to be available at set times and dates, which just doesn't work for me. With iRacing I can just pick up and race whenever I want. Once I've got past the basic licence then the racing is clean and fair because everyone is obsessed with their safety rating.
I wouldn't pay full price and I'm not buying any more content, but I did want to have a crack to see what all the fuss is about. I'm hoping the PC2 matching system gives me the same flexibility for racing vs time trialling.
