Talk to Air about getting his pick in. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gettin' to it.

Monaco at night in the rain though.. interesting..

Can we postpone everything a week I’m going to have to miss tomorrow night I have a meeting starting at 7:30 and I won’t get back home till about 10 which should be just about start time

In reply to dean1484 :

I’m out tomorrow as well. In MI for work this week. 

In reply to T.J. :

Motion carried. We'll push back a week. I've got a sick kid I'm dealing with, and won't argue with an off week. 

That works for me, I also am going to miss tomorrow night. 

Good plan for all.

Well.... I am out tomorrow night also.  We really don't want to encourage Brad to play with himself....

Question:  The time in the schedule.  Is that that start of qualifying, or the start of the race?  E.g. if I want the race to start at noon, should I set the time to 11:00 am?

I may be on for a few tonight to see if I can keep the pointy end of the Ford going the correct direction at Bathhurst. Cockpit view is a bit disorienting in the quick downhill twisties.

I set it so that all sessions occur at the same time in different versions of the multi verse. 

What Brad said. Start times and dates for practice, qualli and race are all the same. I usually set time progression to real time for practice and make it 1 hr, so conditions match up to 30 min race set at 2x time. 

In reply to T.J. :

What TJ said about time acceleration

You should post up the player and there car assignment at the bottom of the first post. Although the Youtube Vid makes me laugh!!!

I am maybe a little bias here but I think it is the best looking car.  Not the fastest by any means (due to the driver) but. . ..   

Too bad the pink pig or Rothmans retro liveries are not in the game. I’d rock the pink pig. 

The Ferrari may look better, but which car won Lemans last year?

Trying to decide if I want a low or high downforce setup for the race. I seem to remember going low down force before and getting eaten alive.

I'm trying to decide how many panels will be left on my car at the end. 

The Ferrari may look better, but which car won Lemans last year?

Well.      Hummmmm. My car has a better color red.   And it is Italian  

Started working on Bathurst. So far I am slow up on the mountain and have some seconds to gain. 

Did a long practice, qualli and a race with Dean. I was both slower and less consistent than him. I have to practice more and learn to not overheat my rear tires. 

I learned I could make soft tires work. The drop off on them is the issue. I need to run another race on the hards and see what the drop off to.

In reply to dean1484 :

Were the softs faster? If the hards get overheated when pushing I'm curious as to how you kept softs under the car.
