I won 2 races in Lobby C with a BMW

Bad day in the office here.

C lobby as I cocked up my qually laps bigtime.

First race I quit out rather than carry on due to lag in the lobby and cars looking more like UFO's, causing me to fear I was gonna ram someone or the like (not blaming anyone, just one of those issues)

Second race was a little more fun,, the lobby sorted itself out and had a good battle at the back with Hainsey and Smithy I think it was

Third race went off to a flying start....4th on grid and within a few laps I had got to the front and was managing to pull a bit of a gap...................

Then I caught the Xbox button on my wheel when changing  gear and my wheel switched off..................    

Sometime u beat the game,,,othertimes the game beats u,,lol.

Cheers to the others in c-lobby thought,,barr my problems the chat was good and the racing clean.

And thanks to Tubbi for hosting  

Le us hope for more positive notes next round,,lol

On my storefront bud.

Good racing last night. Got a little caught up with WizWoz and lagging whenever you get near to his car but all was good and clean.

Only downer was last race and the comment of "That Megane was suspiciously fast". But hey if you have an issue raise it with a steward.

The megane was quick down the straights for everyone I didnt quite get were that comment came from.

All the cars have strengths and weaknesses, some tracks play to the advantage of different cars - but over the season there's been very little to choose between any of the leading contenders. The top 4 in the drivers championship are in 4 different cars and the top 3 teams in the teams championship are in 3 different cars. The PI system does a good job of averaging out the differences, especially within the series restrictions (weight/bhp/mandatory parts, banning engine swaps/superchargers).

You was extremely unlucky last night bud but enjoyed racing with you. Sorry about the dink in the 2nd race though, I know you got caught out by the car in front which caused you to brake very early and normally I would of managed to avoid you but I'd already started braking at my normal braking point and couldn't get my car stopped in time. Just one of those things but kudos to you for taking it well, hopefully we'll have better luck next time.

Cheers chief. It would be easy to get uptight about it but I have nobody here to listen to me anyways,,lol. Nah, all the fun of the fair and u gotta roll with it  (And not the type of roll am seein a few folk had last night     )

I could see you were trying your hardest to avoid my bahookie when I had to brake that little bit early taking my own avoiding actions for the guy infront of me,,so I have zero gripes.

Let us hope next week goes a little more to plan  

Good racing with ya regardless bud.

+1 here.  

My VW is catching up to the Meganes on the straight. 305 hp!

Four rolls in three races says it all for me...

My Civic was quicker, I was pulling away with totlxtc in the draft. Best report me too.

NO...

I was outrun by everybody on the straights in our Lobby (D) even when I was in their draft. I would exit the last turn 3 inches from their bumper and everyone would pull away.

The Megane was SLOW on the straights but a weapon in the turns, If it wasn't for that I'd have had a very bad night...

Must of had the wrong build on Slider

I'm in the Leon, and everything, including the Meganes were quicker than me down the straight...

With you on that Beanz, Leon was 3-4mph slower than most cars round sunset.

Fastest tune I had, Handled WAY too badly and lost too much time in the turns on a power-build...

Only seeing race 1 and 3? It's race 2 I'm particularly interested in.

Race 1 was corrupted so should be 2 and 3, I might have named 2 wrong but its deffo those bud.

Got it, thanks! Race 2 was incorrectly named Race 1.

CQR CHRiS wrote:Must of had the wrong build on Slider

Nooo, everyone else was cheating. Isn't it obvious?

for me the megane had pretty much the same speed as the leon. The civics where a good 5mph faster than us but it was about time they had a good track for them. different builds i used could differ about 4 mph on the straights so its all about what run you get out of the last corner and what build you use. This was arguably one of the meganes worst tracks but we struggled through.
