He must be lying to me about hating the mod, then!

Greg is not an alien, only a fast driver.  

If that's true, then I'm a slow one

He didn't hide anything, he went flat out.

But he just only used three gears

Yea I think Greg had himself transportered backwards 100 yards by the mother ship each lap to hide the fact that he has a hidden/cloaked warp nacel on his car.

A note about tires pressure: default values ​​(165/172) are too high (they were those of version 1.03), optimum pressure is around 160-165 kpa.
It's better choice to start from cold values ​​around 145 kpa, so you dont have unbalanced car when tires become hot.

Thanks for the advice Alex

You're not slow, you ever pick the Ford.   

How many carbecues will we have on Sunday? I'm betting at least three.

One guy on the server yesterday was almost doing it every lap!

The trick is to avoid redlining as much as possible. I know, easier said than done...

Only time I've blown up an engine since Monday was after I changed the gear ratios and forgot that I made 4th longer. Result - downshifted too early and BAM!

*** Breaking Newsflash ***    


It is with Great Regret that the Honda Team have had to announce that they have decided to replace
there Driver Carl Larrad ....

It is understood there has been some friction within the team as
Carl had not lived up to his Earlier Promise and was finding it increasingly difficult to attend
the Teams Test Sessions ... Carl was Outclassed by there Young Hot Shot driver Martin Audran
so the team recognized that they needed someone with more fight ...

Carl's Contract has been Terminated Immediately and in a shock turn of events has been replaced by
the very quick up and coming driver Jens Craft ...

Brabham where very disappointed to lose there Star driver Jens but have been very quick to grab Carl in an exchange deal which will see him drive in the aging #14 Brabham BT7 they obviously recognize that he still has the talents to bring something out of the aging design and once again see the Chequered Flag ..

Carl was available for comment afterwards and he had this to say " i believe everything happens for a reason and i wish Martin and Jens the best of luck for the Kyalami Race i know its going to be hard but i'm looking forward to my New Challenge in the Brabham Team "...

............ Jens Craft kommented on it:

"I am young and have no idea what to say in front of the press media, but the press media is pressing high pressure.
yet i here announce that i came in good hope to tokyo to buy some Sushi and driving fast in that Nissan-cab the Team principal Yamamoto Harakiri passing by at a crossroads grabbed me out of the car after hearing me say "wow that Nippon stuff has some highest revving ive evaaa süüün!" and let me sign the contract after remembering my face on the formula nippon news in 1963 when i was driving the GTR pace car.
with his firm hand i had no other chance than to keep shaking on and on hands with him, otherwise my first payment in barter wouldve been my right hand.
He shouldnt have stomach-butted me with his polite, hectical bow though.
The reward will be payment of sushi and cab, the penalization i wont mention here.
I am stating that its very sad to hear Carl losing his seat, but i wish him much luck at my old team, i left him a clean seat and removed the lime scale from the steering wheel for sure."


woke up with a huge headache and i am sick now so time will tell if i will practice before the race other than my laps on Thursday.

Being sure of the seat: Drift King "Wah-saydeways Ma-taryas-fade" was seen on the news later with an impossibru face at the same cross-road.



what a faith!

Ok Peter if you still want this Lotus 25 BMR it's yours

what track is it?

Riverside International Raceway

If any free car for today... Please let me know.   

Ok Angelo stay tuned tomorrow (or today   ), if any car become free, the first in the waiting list to answer will take it   

And by the way there is also the same open tomorrow here, where there are still cars available. The schedule is given in US time (CST)  

Last reminder before the race, we are using a new procedure at the start, nothing too difficult but if you have still some doubt about it, check here. If you have any question don't hesitate. I don't want to see a driver tonight who would not be aware of that procedure    


Dernier rappel avant la course, on utilise une nouvelle procédure pour le départ, rien de bien compliqué, mais si vous avez toujours des doutes, allez voir ici. Si vous avez des questions n'hésitez pas. Ce soir je ne veux pas voir un pilote qui ne serait pas au courant de cette procédure
