ABS, Driving Line and TC will be permitted.
Skid Recovery will not be permitted.

We'll probably use light damage, and real grip levels.

Sounds good Jason...

Damn...checked what I had for cars and it was a 03 M3, had to buy another and paint it up!

Man...took it out for a run and she's a hefty lady, to say the least!

Had the LSD adjusted all wrong and got way to much understeer...need bigger brakes!!!

Anyone available for practice ???

Works beautifully for both. You're welcome to drop by sometime and test drive it, if you'd like.

OK!...round 1-3 goes to the BMW BUT...I am getting the hang of this now and I think I can say I controlled it for round 4...a few more tweaks and I can make it !!! :twisted:

Put the M3 up against the professionals in their race cars and held my own until "I" over heated on the 4th lap....damn then they jumped me...I got turned around and that was the end of that. bummer!

Unlimited PP? I guess that means we can do engine and HP upgrades.

That's McIntyre's method.... I have proof!

Sadly no, only 1 person per machine/race.
We could organize a "share a ride" night sometime in the future.

Well!...that was a hoot last night..."got my butt whipped by everybody".

I believe they need to install a "Tap Out" button for when things get as bad as they did last night... :oops:

...in my defense...that was the first time on Hard tires with that HP ! :cry:

I'm not sure if you are referring to me about the bumping, however I know I did do it a couple of times last night. Sorry.

It was pretty competitive for the most part. During the Ring GP, I was in seventh on the 3rd lap and I could see 1st place. Everyone was pretty close, except Kevin. LOL Practice makes perfect, sort of.

No no I was talking about McIntyre (I'll edit my post).

He was side by side Paul going into Variante della Roggia at Monza (turn 3), and didn't see (or didn't care) that Kevin braked in front of him for the corner. This sent Kevin FLYING! He dropped a wheel, spun and then came across the chicane and smacked into the wall, myself and a few other people.

From my view it appeared as Kevin had missed his braking point and was trying to short cut the chicane, but he was clearly taken out by McIntyre. At the time I accused Kevin of forgetting to brake, however I said I would view the replay, and the replay proves his innocence.
