If it changes on my end and I know Saturday that I can make it, I'll post here. Just don't want to commit and then not be able to make it. If the spot is taken by then, that isn't a problem at all. Thanks for the opportunity anyway and all that kooky stuff. lol Your car will be waiting for you if you can make it. Unlikely we are going to get halg a dozen new sign ups in the next couple of days. Thanks for letting us know though that you might be unavailable. I'll mark you as a maybe. It is looking better that I can make it, but will be able to confirm definitively tonight central US time and will post up either way. Question regarding Equal Car Performance. It takes twice as long to tune these since you can only do it in lobbies. My question is do the cars still have similar characteristics to when balancing is off? For instance, Red Bull and Ferrari are completely different and typically have very different setups. With Equal Car Performance On, do they both become as nimble as Red Bull and as outright fast as Ferrari? This game is new to me and there is still a ton I'm learning.

This had alway's been a bit of an unknown but the consensus has always been that the Equal car is based around the best car each year. So for the last few years it's been the Mercedes. Prior to that it was the Red Bull.

I might not be able to make the race tonight as I’m sat in the Accident and Emergency department of Banbury hospital, I’ve injured my ankle playing football on Friday but I’m hoping to be able to race

Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to race due to my swollen ankle and the amount of pain killers I’m having to consume, enjoy the race and I hope to race at Monza next week

Well that was "short" lived. Went up the hill, back end went out and threw me into the wall, and then my wheel slips off the desk 😲 Quit out cause it would have been too much hassle to make sure it's all back on securely and woulda been too far behind to even make it worthwhile.
Sorry to anyone that got caught up on the aftermath.

Q-4 R-1
Got a 5 second penalty for illegal blocking on L1. Had a couple spins at the double left in S2 missed the barrier by millimetres. Clipped the barrier at the top of eau rouge somehow didn't lose anything. Apart from that was fairly comfortable went long on the super softs pitted for Softs and came out beside NJ and got him at the top of the hill with a cheeky pass around the outside at T9 after that it was building a big enough gap. Had enough pace to keep alex behind despite him being on faster tyres mainly through S2.
Good fun fucking hate monza though.
Continuing my 0 or 25 consistency for the season lol

Boothy, super softs and softs..assume you were on Soft and Medium? Yeah those double lefts in S2 created a ton of havoc. I was surprised Ea Rouge didnt create a lot of problems.
Just happy to finish today and didnt want to ruin someone else's race by doing something stupid. Which is one hell of a feat.ha I thought we were still setting up the formation and was wondering why the top 7 guys in front weren't holding up only to find out we had been racing.lol

Not the return to racing I had hoped A decent qualifying saw me take 5th spot, half a second shy of Boothy in 4th. My best from practice would have seen me close to the top 3 but I was happy enough to make 5th. Once we eventually got under way I was feeling pretty happy with the car, just avoided Mitch when he had his unfortunate Eau Rouge incident so moved up to 4th place and was keeping a steady 1 second gap to Railer behind as I settled into the opening soft compound stint but then on the third lap I must have just lost concentration for a split second, drifted a little wide around the very fast turn 16 and before I realised I was clipping the outside wall, tearing off my front left. Al;most collected Railer and I think Stealth coming around behind me. How on earth that did not bring out a Safety Car I do not know. It must have been a worst incident than the one that brought out the yellow on the formation lap of the first aborted race attempt. I thought after seeing that that maybe they had fixed the no-show SC feature but it appears not :/ Anyway, onwards and upwards, looking forward to Monza and a chance to cross the finish line for the first time in over two months having missed 4 of the last 6 races. Never had a season where i've not been available for so many races so I really need to finish as many as I can in this second half of the season. On the plus side although not having had much time with the new game so far I am pleased to see how much of an improvement it is yet again. They have made good progress with each of the last three releases. I was surprised to see that the custom grid facility was no longer there though. That is something that would have been so handy for last night and would have got us under way much quicker than we eventually did. I did leave my Mixer stream running and swapped between various peoples views of the race when I could. I just wish the game had a facility to automatically swap between drivers rather than having to manually cycle through them. Have a good week all.

Well to say i was pissed of with myself was a understatement last night..
Had a ok qually i guess as i set up to look after tyres more than speed. . But carries good speed in the sector 2
Kept out of trouble on the opening laps and had a few very bum squeaky moments avoiding spinners got to lap 17 in for tyres in 5th place
Both me and hrh had a few good laps swapping places many times clean and fair. So in for tyres hrh stayed out and got me on the undercut.. got back past on the camel straight . Three laps later felt the back end go on orouge and i bailed out hit the wall rear end first lost half my front wing. Made it back round to pits were i was distracted by a ghosting mclaren going into the pits and tapped the wall and spun. Side ways had to option but to put it into reverse and was disqualified for reversing on pit lane
Stupid bloody game guess rules are rules but on such a tight pit entry were you have no choice as you cant just use the wall to get straight with raw power what you ment to do...
Monza next
Overall enjoyed the racing i did have for the 21 laps with hrh
