Always happy to oblige

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the racing last night, trying to keep up with Magictap in the first race was a real challenge for me.

The second race however was a case of missed opportunities. With Magictap sustaining aero damage I really should have taken the victory but for a couple of careless mistakes

Now, allow me to make my excuse. As far as I'm aware I was the only individual running the Pro car - stock tune - on the pad... it was a nightmare which my fingers wont be forgetting in a hurry. Does that fly around here? Am I due some sympathy?

Seriously though, we had a lot of fun last night and I think the endorsement of these cars for a full championship could only be a good thing.

Just for you Sir Cobblepop.......

I for one must say I had great fun last night, yes I'm not a lover of R3 class cars never mind RWD but thought I would give them a go and have found the joy in them.

Race 1 I hit a fellow S2M member and in doing so ruined his race sorry greg

Race 2 starting near the front gave me the chance to stretch a lead while others fought there way through the pack, things where going great with over a 750ft lead untill lap 6 when all of a sudden my throttle finger went dead and I could not feel a thing for the last 6 last ( oh the pain )

Well done to CQR Magictap on both wins and showing what the little porsche is able to do. Also I would like to that everyone who turned up to make it such a great night with lots of awsome paints so please can this be made into a championship and could I have some race brakes next time

No no, I believe there was quite a few people racing a pro car with a pad, & a stock tune. Me being one of them But I didn't like the Pro/Am

Fair play to you Kilroy, it wasn't easy keeping hold of the car on such a bumpy circuit whilst using the pad, I was desperate to adjust the diff...

...in fact, last night seems to have been the tipping point for me and I'm now 1 click away from staving off any eventual arthritis via the Fanatec wheel

Really, I can't get the Fanatec site to load at all!!! If it does, just go for the CSR Value pack, that's what I have ;O)

He is a quick driver but i felt his love last night as he was pushing his way to the top

My apologies DK, none of it was intentional I just found it hard to adjust to your style, they were mainly taps from not anticipating how early you were braking or from your wide lines then turning sharp into me when I had got my nose inside not expecting it. The one occasion I really caused issues I made sure I pushed you straight then backed off and let Coblet through to see if anyone else would have more luck getting passed your style. Then you and Coblet collided so I was through....

Apologies again. really not my style, I was just struggling to adjust. My fault entirely.

Replays are on the previous page so you can see for yourselves my perspective. They are in full 1080 HD to ;O)

The embargo is over and more and more fantastic reviews are coming up. The testers did an incredible job but now it is our turn to deliver.

We are ready to go and will launch the new website this week. This new website will also allow you to place orders for the CSW and CSP V2.

We do have inventory of CSP V2 in both EU and USA and we also have small inventory of CSW and rims in EU. The ship for the US market arrives in a few days. We will have coming in more and more shipments by sea but there is a possibility that we will be short on inventory.

Tomorrow we will go offline so we can switch to the new website and intensively test it. The new website will go online on.

i tried to say that was the best lot for him to go for as well, but Jono was bleetin on about the elite pedals

I use the GT2 with the base CSR pedals and i find then ace

BBUUTTTT,,i could be wrong, can only go by how they have felt to me.

Elite pedals are a must, I have a set and after trying the standard pedals they are completely inferior in every way.

depends on your budget, if they still made the Microsoft wheel I'd buy that as I was just as quick with it, I don't have a PC powerful enough for games so I've ended up with a wheel far more expensive than my Xbox!! lol

is the difference that much? or do they just feel nicer to use? the base ones feel ace to me, but having never used the elite ones as i say i could be wrong.

why can i feel my credit card heating up again..................................................................

Funny you should say that, I thought it might just be me because I was happily browsing their site earlier today and when I returned this afternoon... nothing

I found the resistance of the Elites gave me a much better feeling with the pedals, and the load cell brake pedal means it acts more like a real brake so if you put pressure on slowly but then harder whilst braking you get the car slowed down much better without locking the brakes.

I hear the new Clubsport pedals are even better, and I'm very tempted

Hmm, interesting conversation... I would say that I'm willing to spend up to £500 on the whole thing but this must include the Rennsport stand as I'm limited on space. Any suggestions?

You want a wheel stand? I would highly recommend this one:

Not being biased or anything

Also, I really want this now.

Why don't you just put the wheel on the end of your bed we all know you have one of those little red car beds

hmm,,interesting.....

suppose i could always punt my old ones on ebay and put cash to it,,lol

Richy, ur evil sir, i am all too easily tempted by something new and shiny

Hallelujah - there is someone out there that has also seen the light

Could this be made into a small championship following the end of the TCC ?

Ranger you may have just read my and and Richy's mind
