TORA TCC Meeting 6 -- Rounds 11 & 12 - Road Atlanta Club - 15th May 2012 - 8pm BST

Great nights racing guys in Lobby B, enjoyed battling it out with Nemo in race 1, sorry about the little knock in race 2. Not how I roll, just got caught out by the early brakers.

Had some good racing in Lobby C too.

Must learn "how" to Qualify better.

Lobby B was great fun. But my microsoft wheel's lack of clutch button really hurt me last night, on the standing start in race 2, I went from 7th to last before turn 1, despite getting a great initial launch... The seat was far better than most cars through the corners, but on the straights I was dead, losing a good 6 tenths a lap, I had to do all my passing in the esses, which made life quite difficult, plus the constant compression the car was going through damaged the rear left suspension, so by the time I got to lap 18, the car was at risk of swapping ends through the fastest part of the esses at the bottom of the hill.

I managed to half the gap to Wumba in race 1 towards the end of the race, but lost it all when I slid out of the groove in the esses, and in race 2 the car did the same thing and I clouted the concrete wall...

A lobby race 2 winner yay, but bloody hell it was hard, a charged up vtec megadownthestraights rolla / torque was catching me fast, must invest in a wheel and get some decent practice in.

Butcher sort your sh!t out and get back in the race boy, not doing yourself any justice.

Good race tubbi, I didn't know whether to attack or defend! I was trying to figure out a way past you but had old Vtec catching me fast, and I knew how fast that Acura was on the straights. With hindsight I should have let him go earlier so he could attack you, and then try a sneaky pass and follow him through haha

You think wheel would be quicker? I think only Berty and Chris are using a wheel from our guys in the TCC, the other 7 of us are padders.

yeah that was a good race. dont worry about the knock bud. i had to brake early too. so its cool. had to do 18 laps with a damaged car but it all worked out fine.i think most of the field had some kinda damage but still a great race.

God i struggled last night, the Sentra just cannot carry any apex speed at all, i was being swamped like a mothertrucker and i was hanging my nads on the line to haul ass round that quick!

Was annoyed that i lagged out in race one, was running a very respectable 8th in Lobby A until all the cars disappeared and suddenly i was first, which meant i had to start from the back again for race two... FAIL.

I'm regretting this Sentra now, feels like a turd we just can't polish...

...or even varnish first and then polish.

Reminder: one car change is allowed without penalty, a second car change incurs a 10% reduction in overall points scored for the championship.

May do, may do

I had complete opposites of the spectrum with race 1 being completely boring for me and then all these overtaking battles in the 2nd race, still good fun though
