    Crap. After collecting mum-in-law from hospital, cutting up some felled palm trees and cooking dinner last night, I completely forgot about the race... Stupid me, public holidays have got me all screwed up.

    Hope to bust out the Ferrari and see if I can tame it during the week.

    yeah Stu you did better then me m8, my little car that COULDN'T...

    It wasn't the most powerful weapon of choice (i brought a knife to a gun fight) :lol:
    but i thought it was in with half of a chance, i just needed the top half of the field to have some MAJOR issues :p
    like lose their brain's, handbrake shoots them or get eaten by mountain lion, anything like that would have helped me :lol: :p
    the start of the race was the worst for me, i couldn't hear my own little micro machine over all the MONSTER V8'S valve bouncing around me.
    which dam near made my ears bleed as i had surround sound up to HIGH so after being just about BLASTED out of my simulator and it didn't help that pulled off the start line in 3rd. :/
    my chance of a good race after all that, went from super thin to **** all.. :( O'well that serve myself right.. :p

    Funny stuff aussie, how good did my V8 sound ???? I know you got to hear it a few times from when i lapped you !!!! Maybe you couldnt hear it though because the sound of your screaching, spinning car was drowning it out !! Funny stuff

    Well that was absolute chaos last night. I doubt I've seen so much tyre burning, arrow spinning and dnf's in a ROOZ race since...ever!!! All Lotus' are tricky little suckers, but when you throw Cape Ring into the mix, then you're asking for trouble. The 350's grabbed all the top spots, I know they were definitely lighter, but I figured the '02 esprit would have been pretty close in lap times. Surprised more people didn't run it.

    Congrat's to topcat, fastest man on the track by a mile. He was on pole followed by daylight. As the race progressed I figured the final race result would have been much the same. I'm assuming he struck trouble like the rest of us somewhere, and those few seconds cost him. Bad luck man. Tek was quick as well. Gotta say it's not looking good for Div 1 on the weekend, these Div 2 guys are just too quick!!!

    btw not sure if I'll be around next Monday Rumbles, likely I'll be working late. Don't wait for me if I'm not on come kick off.

    Should be on tonight to run a few laps in the F1 car. Haven't driven it in ages. Probably around 8 or just after. Hmmm, those hints about the track are about as subtle as a sledgehammer!!

    Maybe after clash of the titans.

    Please don't forget that you have to use the standard LSD, and limit your car to 700 BHP :)

    No worries rumbles, havent bought yet so Ill make sure I dont get LSD. Can u use any combination of turbo and engine detuning to make 700hp? Or is High RMP turbo still a no no?

    BTW a track starting with S and ending in A could be Suzuka :p. Personally I think its a more exciting track than Spa :D

    What E said :) Additionally, you need to set the LSD back to the standard type and ensure you reset its settings to default.
