One of mine will struggle to get below 460 so it's a good job I won't need to do that biggrin

Hi chaps.

Apologies for the lack of replies. I’ve been in hospital with Kidney failure so wasn’t able to reply. All sorted and recovering nicely now.

I’ll amend the main post as requested but yes, as Andy said.

Once we start the championship, you must stay in the same car for the entire series. Apologies for any confusion.

Looking forward to Sunday.
Christ sorry to hear that mate! eek glad you’re back home and on the mend now at least…

I couldn’t remember from what was discussed when we ran the practice races a couple of weeks back - did you decide what level of penalties and damage you were going to go with for the races on Sunday night?

Just normal/in the middle.

Cosmetic damage only, but with tyres and fuel.

Penalties, as middle as I can get it.

I think the public lobbies must ramp up the tyre wear as in career I barely use any tyres, whereas in public lobbies they seem to be knackered after 3 laps.

So that might be worth looking into. Up the wear rate by 50% or something?

Tyre wear is a good shout - used to be good fun in the longer races as the guys using steering wheels used to suffer far less with tyre wear owing to smoother control inputs, so used to be able to put strategically, whereas those with a controller used to be forced to pit whenever the tyres were goosed.

Whoever wrote the software is a muppet.

It's too easy to leave the lobby by accident.

Anyway, that was fun. Punted off on the first corner, but I was the slowest by a long shot, so it didn't really matter.

I was interested to see how you had built your cars with massive handling and braking, but very little speed or acceleration.

Now that I have another 30PI to play with, I'll try to do the same.

Thanks to all who joined in for the first race.

As promised the championship table has been updated on the first page but here it is anyway:

To recap, the top three take a PI reduction into next months race. The bottom three gain PI points.

GreatCornholio has taken the full 25 points for the win but immediately lost 3 for the fastest lap. Pingu393 gains an additional 30 PI for finishing last, but also gets 3 points for having the slowest (fastest) lap.

Cheers for organising OP! Good fun last night, my gain at someone’s over exuberance in Turn 2 taking half the field out soon unravelled with my various mistakes on a track I’d never driven before, hopefully next round is at a circuit I know rofl
