NAFFCAR

^^ Of course Bradley. I'll send it to you when I get home this afternoon.

Managed to get down to 39.033 sec and have found the best line to not hit the wall coming out of Turn 2 whilst still keeping full throttle. Also had a play around with which lines I can take as I will have to do some overtaking because of these race funny rules... Must admit that there is not a lot of room to manouvre on Sedona!   

Let's see... you most likely will start third or fourth row in race 1, and if you are at that pace, most everyone should seem to hold you up a bit, then if all goes well for you, you'll start even further back in race 2.

What do you mean "funny rules"?

Wait 3rd row with a 39 dead?

Well I'm going to be even worse than first thought

I think I'm going to crash in the first race and start from pole in the feature race!!! hahahaha   Let's hope this does not happen in reality as I do mean it as a joke!!

If we're in the same lobby again I can spin both of us out again if you want?

I take it you forgot/didn't know about the grid rules: Race 1 is set by "series points - reversed", which means that you could start way up front if you make A Lobby. All quallies do is set who is in which lobby.

Race 2 is set by reverse lobby points, so the winner of R1 starts at the rear of R2.

All this is set up to promote passing by the fast guys, while at the same time, let those that normally don't get to see the lead run up front for a bit.

Ive done zero testing and no tuning, maybe not the best idea, even if its a Oval!

I've found choosing the correct upgrades to be even more important on the oval than on the race courses! Took me almost a full day testing and trying odd things to get to the current setup. The car looks b*&t ugly, but works really well!

so here was some close calls from the race.
first incident my heart rate when from about 54 bpm to about 120 bpm, but still managed to get through flat out without hitting anyone, here's the video

and here's the photo of the first lot:

Congrats Bradley! Well done to keep the Avengers at the top! Did you change anything on the setup I sent you? Some beautiful saves there! Will have a look at the replays tomorrow.

Very unfortunate I couldn't connect. Still don't know why as I have not changed anything from the past few months and I've been in lobbies with everyone else before. Oh well, better luck next week. Have some work to do to get the Celica to fly at Maple!

yeah it was the same tune you sent
pretty stoked at a 39 dead!

Well done to Erebus, Chad and Paul in A lobby 1st 2nd and 3rd. Disapointed that JRacer was not able to race. Hope things get better next week.   

Had good result in race 1 and disastrous race 2. Also had alot of fun in Windcharger's GT500 Although I had afew mishaps with Windcharger Freebie and AMR garge. Still the chase was fun.

The racing in A Lobby was insanely close. I was chasing down Chaddy and Raven for P3 and 4 at one point, only to toss off in turn 2 and lose a few spots. Was again chasing down Raven for P5, only to toss off again and end up 9th.

But chasing down the likes of Chaddy and tubbi at various points of the race was a blast.

Ravens car pissed my right off lol and for mutant to hit me and pass me I wasn't best pleased.

Mutant told me to apologize to you on his behalf... he misjudged the corner and your entry and claims "brainfart".

As much as he's been helping our teammates with tuning, I offered him a spot on Ax4x... he said he's strongly considering the move as his team has splinted over recent months.

Yes he would be a good fit.

Broom, I am sorry I didn't say something when we were in the hairpin. I was ticked off at what happened in the left hander after the first turn. All I can is say I'm sorry for it. You didn't need to be involved in that since you were having a good run and I messed that up.

Buddy don't feel bad a podium first race was cool. I'm just disapointed I could not annoy Nutsack more. Mate you seen how much I got pick on in GT 500 race. Still having fun.

Again I Apologize for the GT 500 Contact in turn 3. I got greedy trying to use the Hyundai's braking advantage and it spun you and cause a 4 car incident and thus took a drive through for that under green. (even though you were the only one who spun it still made Adrian and Zeta stop.) But what was said about representing down under and you not finding it funny. I couldn't hear it and what I did hear I didn't understand it.

It's just people Mentioning my underground lag Old Joke heard it before. I was not upset at all had a lot of fun good thing no damage. Won't be the same next week. I better keep out of the way. I got hit by Freebie aswell.

Chaddy, figuring in the dropped round, you leap all the way up to P3 in points.

Sweet lets hope I have a chance! lol

I doubt that the remaining rounds will be all that good for tubbi's CR-X... but it may be hard to catch Mutant's 99 Civic. He spends most nights racing C Class at Road Atlanta and Infineon (and the rest of Real World US tracks)
