    Hey guys, i'll have a lobby up sometime within the next hour or so for the Nordschelife, it'll only be for running laps, there won't be any races or qualifying tonight, maybe tomorrow. It's just for people to jump in and out whenever they feel and get on track with a few others to see how their times stack up or to get some help. I should be on for nearly all of tonight, so if anyone wants some help from me i will do my best.
    For anybody competing in @v8power383 's Nurburgring 1000, the room will not be restricted to the Z4 only, so if you get tired of the BMW (How can you!?) then you are welcome to test your V8SC's as well, Tuning will be enabled for you guys to do your thing, and for the Sunday league guys to work on their pit strategies.
    Hope to see some of you there :)

    good job mate.....nice time but based on sammy i think you need to go a bit faster !

    You are 100% right about it being hard to be consistent, i went away from having a fast simple track....drivers will have to work hard in the reverse grid race so lets see how good we can drive;)

    :rolleyes: Isn't that the case every weekend? I know he has quite a few tenths on me right now but i am not finding any extra.... my theoretical PB only puts me at a 44.5, still 3 tenths off what he told me :(
    Maybe he is growing extra laptime on Farming Simulator and using it on PCARS :(

    My hair naturally sticks off to the side, tried covering it but many years of Hats have not improved my situation as you can see :laugh:

    Well, long story short Beau's TV exploded while in a lobby with Stu testing wheel settings, so here is the round 6 hotlap with a little twist.
    Note: Excessive swearing, please do not watch if you are offended by tire walls or naughty words.

    Hey guys, i apologize for not getting a lap out this week. I was planning to do it on Monday night as always but my TV kinda blew up, then on Thursday i got my new GTUltimate V2 and i'd been struggling to get up to speed with it ever since.
    I'll do what i can to make the video for Dubai as helpful as possible :(
    From what i can tell, a low 1:08 seems to be the go for me, however i do know of one person who has done a mid 7...
