I think I am going to go head to head with that Charger...it's a handfull to drive but it looks fantastic and it has one of the best transmissions I have tried.
Just downloaded the update and it's time to practise....Yeeeee Haaaaaaaaw !!!!!

I'm probably going to head on there in a few myself, and for some damn reason I want to run the Camaro....but I should run the Z06, it's the car I've logged more laps with and am most comfortable.

I'll be on tonight. Kevin, Jason don't practice too much or I'll send Bernie Ecclestone on your ass! I always feel disadvantaged when other people practice while I can't. :D

Kevin, thanks for the offer but I think I'm good.
Just gotta let the epoxy cure and I should be good.

Actually while I was inside the wheel I made some mods.... added screws to the pedal connector, and opened up the pedals themselves and added foam to the brake springs so that the brake pedal is now firm, closer to what it should be.

I may be a bit late tonight, depends on what time the wife and kids get home from town. If I'm playing GT5 while she is trying to put away the groceries and put the kids to bed, it may be the last time I'm heard from...

Better for me that it's sold, I won't have to think about it anymore!! I hope it's being restored as a Cosworth and not gutted for a V8...

We haven't started yet.... so we'll wait for you Kevin.

Have you tried unplugging your PS3 and rebooting your router?

Great racing tonite in the first race.
Second one....I really hate grand valley speedway, don't know why. Oh well was planning to quit around 10 as i usually cant function past 10, especially when i have to get up at 6 am for work. It booted me at about 9:45 and i didnt bother re connecting.

Good racing tonight folks!
Trevor took an early lead at Madrid and made me really work for that win.
At Grand Valley Kevin was unbelievably quick in his Viper and between him and Alek I was always watching that gap closely.

I really liked the 25 lap format!

Hmmmm....me thinks this was a GM sponsored race....corvettes everywhere and a lone camaro putting the boots to the Mopar Viper, the only other manufacturer present !!! :?

Sheeeesh...it sure felt like I was the meat in a corvette sandwich in the first race and I could not get a handle on the viper to even challenge that camaro....but the next race everything was different...I just kept running off the track and the viper kept wearing it's front tires down at a ridiculous rate...damn car! :oops: 8O

Can't wait for the next race night....I will try not to hold things up again...sorry!!! :oops:

I was turning laps that were competitive, but i shot myself in the ass with my tires!! Plus, for the Grand Valley race, I tried to give the car a little more front bite, as the car was under-steering like crazy. I got it a little better, but never did get it to where it needed to be. What really killed me was (!!!!WARNING!!!! RACERS EXCUSES) I was only running on 2 hours sleep from the night before and I've had the flu for the past 3 days.

Hey Jason S., you asked me the other night if there was a way to adjust the TCS while driving on the T500RS wheel...the answer should have been yes!!!

"update"....looks like I can access more then just the TCS...Brake bias, ASM and centre diff settings as well !!! :D

It works the same as it does in Iracing....I can pull up the menu and use the thumb toggle to move up and down thru the values.

This should be fun to try out!!! 8)

....well, just great...looks like I have a technical glitch with my hardware....if I get on tonight I probably won't have a microphone and I will be using the shifter instead of paddles...soooooooo....

If I run into someone I won't be able to say "SORRY"...and I will be running the shifter for the first time on the PS3 so forgive my actions as it's not as easy as the paddles.

Maybe I will just run at the back of the pack so I don't bugger anyone else up!!! :? :oops: :o :wink:

I'll probably be missing some racing tonight, but I'll try to make it for around 8:45 or so to catch the last race. We had my youngest daughter's 2nd birthday party here and some family stayed for a while after. I'll try to make it on as soon as possible after things are settled here.
