[AbbyTheFoxx]

Managed to do a stint in the Porsche using an old VRS setup. Times are still coming down but man that thing is a blast around here.

That looks even less stable than me in in the Porsche. (Nice saves, though).

+1 for the BMW, btw.

 

[AbbyTheFoxx]

Managed to get my time in the Porsche down to a 1:42! Realized the setup I downloaded was only at 10 out of 26 gallons for the series it was meant for lol. Had to tweak the setup just to be able to drive with full fuel. Just tried a run starting at sunset, around lap 4 the tires started to get a bit scary, plus it was a lot darker after a few laps lol. Midnight actually seems quite brighter than right after sunset from what I've seen.

 

[AbbyTheFoxx]

Oops I meant 8:42, not 1:42 lol. It's 8:40 now anyways Should probably start focusing on draining the fuel tank now that I'm at a comfortable pace.

Very cool that they added the BMW, I doubt many will drive the McLaren, think McLaren, Ring, Dark. . . . Disaster. I've tried the BMW at the Ring and its pretty good, so that would be another option for me as well.

 

[Bedo]

I'll drive anything, but if I'm driving the AMG, we will ******NOT******, @Kenadian, and only @Kenadian, be butchering the car with wing 5.

I'm totally game for the mazda, I think it will be an interesting adventure.

 

[Kenadian]

Then I won't drive with you @Bedo

 

[Deb]

Geez, you two

 

[Hydromani]

I know have been very flaky as of late, but is due to some amazing events in my life. I am officially working 1st shift, so I will be showing up to Practice a ton more. Put me down for the Audi (preferred), but willing to run Ferrari, Merc or BMW

 

[Nejtun]

Anyone fancy doing some Sunset to night-time practice later today? Or are we saving these for practice pals? If any interest I will put up a hosted at around 19:00 Eastern /Midnight BST

 

[Skid_Marc_]

I think Ken talked about doing some IMSA at Spa tonight.. Maybe tomorrow would be better, since Ken will be at work?

 

[Nejtun]

Tomorrow it is then, I hope a few will show up so the event doesn't just sneak up on us before we know it

IMSA at normal Practice pals time? I might ruin my iRating with a bit of that action later too!

 

[Nejtun]

Sunset session going live at 01:00 am BST (normal practice pals time) 3 hours with all cars.
The first 30 minutes to an hour will be fairly light and the last 2 hours should be in darkness.

Password is "sheep" all lower case, please turn up and have fun

10 ish hours from the time of this post, see you all there

 

[Kenadian]

Thanks for the host pancake.

I shall be there.

 

[Brainling]

I'll just go ahead and commit to the BMW now, so I can start having a practice target.

 

[Nejtun]

Going to put up a hosted for normal Monday practice pals time. 01:00 BST ( uk time ) Same time as last week, so thats Sunset into nighttime, 3 hour session so about 2 hours of dark, don't forget to run a fuel calc if possible!

 

[AbbyTheFoxx]

After some of the more frustrating laps I've done in my life, I finally got a sub 40 in the Porsche, and at night! I've never made so many big mistakes in a lap and still set a personal best lol, just means I have time to gain by ironing them out Might've been around 8:32-8:23 if I didn't make the bigger mistakes of the lap. I was overdriving the living hell out of the car, might've been a couple off tracks lol
