Good fun ina Holden - best of 1:41 so far, but I think there's loads more to come yet if I can keep it on the tarmac long enough.

Phillips Island must be pretty new, its not listed on GTRank yet so I can't gauge how far off the pace I am

Would be difficult to gauge with the V8's anyway as GTRank only covers the original cars but looking at my player file for Philip Island when I raced it with Pvapour the first time I did a 1m34s in the Holden, this was also V1 of the v8's (no motec or lights) and I think the physics might have been slightly different too.

If the lobby is playing up we don't have to use it we can do a direct IP connection.

I hate it anyway (as I always say ) the chat lobby is the crappiest thing ever.

Philip Island crashes on my machine (argghh). It's installed in the correct location. I guess I won't be racing tonight then.

I'm ready... the server will be online about 7:50

Racing at 8 again I presume??

I've got Philip island but if people are having problems, we could try another/standard track.

Also, are we decided on the cars now, or would you prefer an open grid?

Dave.



Edit: We could try Mike's idea of Brands tonight instead...?

I'm easy either way, just been trying the Falcon around Phily island and getting low 1.37s, but Brands is mighty good fun in the Escorts eh Mike

Brands would probably run easier I would have thought but not sure if everyone has the Escort V2s?

nick

ps - lobby seems ok now, my password and username needed to be reset by 'Tentacle' for the 3rd time

I might not be on tonight myself. I had a few drinks last night and decided to re-arrange the furniture in one of my rooms (heavy things aplenty) and I must have tweaked my lower back at some stage as I'm feeling it now.

Might be the same for Monday as well so I'll probably be wanting to catch up some other night (Tues, Weds, Thurs maybe).

Seems there are a few problems tonight then... shall I just run a standard track Open grid?

I've got all standard cars obviously, then the derestricted porker, TVR Cup cars, Escorts..

So just run whatever you've got

It will be the same each time for a long time (StaticIP)

escorts and brands hatch are great! we got it working in the end! Would have been a fairly close race had I not kept spinning.
