Everyone ready for tonight?   It should be a fun race. Not a lot of passing opportunity's  for such a long track. At least one person from TDT may join us.

My sim rig/pc is half assed setup so... maybe?  I should be able to slap it together enough to play, but its a tight window

I knew my mid 2:08 would not stand for long but dang it I was proud of that! I'll actually be in peoples' mirrors this week so watch out for a bright orange Lombargine Machine.

I've been calling it Lamborghini Bellini lately and it seems to have rewarded me by becoming quite peachy indeed.

It was in that car and that color I earned the Tangerine Torpedo name. laugh

Really good racing tonight. There was really close racing in both races.

The racing was great last night, close throughout the field.  It really was an attrition couple of races.  Cannot wait to see the replay.

Results and Standing (let me know if you see any issues, some of it is done by hand):  I am not sure it's even possible to catch Sauce at this point.  He still has a drop, so he will get at least 6 points for one the next two races.  Even if he gets zero points in the other race, that is still 52 points.  So... if Dean can win both of the next races, he can tie!  So, Sauce just needs to place 8th or better, in the next two races!

Yes and I am not sure about silvetstone. I would have to look at the poster Air made.

Silverstone is the last race, yes.  Here are a few pic from Bathurst.  I find the first one particularly telling:

Highlights.  From watching it, it's pretty clear Colin had an "all or nothing" tune going, which he really didn't figure out until the second race.  Oh, and the new camera angles are gotten to by F6 during replay (they cycle, so they can be difficult to use in a replay).

The server was down for a while for maintenance. I had discord on and did not see anyone there. I hope I did not cause a problem for anyone.

I'm not sure if the Hill Spin was my (black Lexus) fault or not. Sorry if it was.

Hay I had an idea. How about we duplicate Tom's Miata for the next race season?

It looks to have a LFX GM V6 in it making 300 hp (makes me really happy) and it is a Miata so in theory it should drive like a Miata.  I wonder what the curb weight is on it?

In reply to dean1484 :

I would guess 2400-2500lbs with an LFX swap.  My car is very similar with a stock Miata engine and weighs 2050 without driver.

IMHO 230-250hp at ~2200 race weight (does AC account for a driver?) should make for plenty of fun.  Once you get to 300+ traction can be an issue with tires that fit under stock fenders.

Whoever was looking for Javelins, I put a collection of 70's versions in the Future Testing folder.  There are 3 versions: Javelin, Trans Am Edition and AMXR (?)

Since it was sitting right next to it, I also put up a collection of 1970 Mustangs:  Boss 302, Boss 429, Boss 302R, Boss 429R, Mach 1, Mach 1 428

Maybe series potential somewhere in there?
