I myself just wish the season was a little longer as before I know it its all over

Cheers mike for a great championship !! Great cars and great clean racers ( well bar my team mate nearly taking me out in the sprint race )

Just a love nudge! lol
Ill definitely be left,and up for more of the same! Its a great series! thanks mikey!

Man hugs you got to love em Wink

I will be around on the old 360 so you can expect myself and jabber next season bud

Unfortunately I couldn't make the last race, nor will I be able to join the next one (I work offshore and network speeds are not fast enough to allow online racing), but will definitely be there for the last races.
The XB1 will not be launched in the Netherlands (with Dutch support) until next March/April and as I have young kids (who need the Dutch language) I will have to wait... So please continue setting up 360 series!! Very Happy

Have been practising on my next track, Sunset Club. 1:04.6 so far, but feel there is time to be gained taking a few more risks.

JRacer: lucky for you, Sunset is one of the better tracks for the 1971 Mach 1, as it was one of the quickest cars around that circuit in testing. Look forward to a good race with you there.

I'll be around for a while on 360. I'll get a xb1 eventually but can't justify the price of one at the minute

by **Ax4x Broomz** Wed 20 Nov 2013 - 12:19

Infineon NASCAR - 1:22.7

by DeweyTee Wed 20 Nov 2013 - 14:40

I'll be using both machines. Until I can decide which wheel to get for the One, my racing will be on the 360.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Wed 20 Nov 2013 - 16:32

Hitting occasional 1:21.7s and 8s, but in my mock qualifying runs the best I can hit is 1:22.2. If there is a B Lobby, I will be in it most likely.

by Windcharger8199 Fri 22 Nov 2013 - 19:11

1:23.395 with splits for a 1:22.9XX I don't understand how the hell I can lose 3 tenths to over half a second in sector three.

It depends how you take the last corner, i take a wide entry with a late apex to get maximum strait line speed, try it multiple times and find a line that suits you, and your splits will come closer

I'm stuck at 1:04.2s at Sunset. Did a 1:03.9 in the Javelin tune I did for Hurricane, but have yet to figure out how to hit 154 MPH in the Mustang.

by S2M Ranger Mon 25 Nov 2013 - 8:40

Doing the same times bud 1:03.875s is the most I can get out off the boss Sad

Ditto!

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Mon 25 Nov 2013 - 17:49

Played with the diff, gears and aero and could hit 1:04.0s @ 153 mph for my PB.

by S2M Ranger Mon 25 Nov 2013 - 20:55

Must be the triple overhead manifold sproket fitted to our cars that is making a small difference Wink

by **Ax4x Cowboy** Tue 26 Nov 2013 - 0:01

1:03.4xx on what felt like a perfect lap and nudging 155 mph as I'm braking for the first turn.

by nickyf1 Tue 26 Nov 2013 - 16:26

planning on doing the final round.

1.33.3 so far

by BaronGreenbacke Tue 26 Nov 2013 - 21:23

Me thinks I need to try less aero! im not touching 150!

by S2M Ranger Wed 27 Nov 2013 - 7:31

I'm keeping what I have as I'm going to try and use grip over speed and draft like mad

by LMR Agera Wed 27 Nov 2013 - 8:49

Ive tried that the last couple of races but its way to hard to pass Ranger... Might try speed now, havent practised yet though so ill se what i will choose Smile

by theboomeranga Fri 29 Nov 2013 - 5:43

only hitting 1:05.6
no aero, dunno how to tune the tyres or diff to get more time, just gonna wing it
braking for the first section destroys my lap time!

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 29 Nov 2013 - 6:12

^ No aero kills my lap times. I'd rather lose a couple MPH on the straight rather than sliding around the rest of the lap. Time spent stuck in the sticky isn't worth two or three miles per hour on the straight stretch.

by theboomeranga Fri 29 Nov 2013 - 7:04

1:04.7

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 29 Nov 2013 - 7:14

I did a few mock qualifying runs, and I think I will qually around 1:04.3-1:04.6. Race pace is a bit better, as I can put two wheels off here and there.

No matters, as there will be one lobby and lots of passing opportunities.

by **Ax4x Bandit** Fri 29 Nov 2013 - 19:36

1:05.1
