Those skins are really making a difference.  They are really good.

Get better, Bruce!  I'm just crawling out of my virus infestation :D

Nonsense, just the camera angle  ;) Found you had to get 2 wheels over that corner to get a better exit speed. AC never told me it was cut so I'm taking it... ;D

Did you guys come into contact with Guybrush?
Told you to wash your hands after using his setup

One of my favorite tracks in AC. Being a fake track too. I much prefer real life tracks over fake ones but this is one of the best.
very tricky to master. Punishing if you get bits wrong. And in these cars there is not enough laps in the world to catch up after a mistake.

Totally failed the 1st race. started with a qualifying fuel load. Thanks Marty. And I totally miss-timed putting my chicken nuggets in the oven so they where ready at about lap 6.
still, kept breaking PB's when I was racing which is a good thing.

These GTA's would be good on some of those point to point mountain climb thingies i think.

Sorry you couldn't be there Marty. I think Guybrush and Krahl would have whipped you though.

PS, great to see everyone's Dick Skin! Thanks for all the thanks too.
There are plenty of skins for anyone who wants one. Might be a bit lost in the skin thread..
I'll try and organise a new skin thread over the weekend.

Im sure everyone would have whipped me if I was on the kb controls, all but one that is actually.

The track itself looks much better with the upgraded textures, layout ive never been a huge fan of. Its a bit too wide and short for my taste, was quite a challenge in this little beast however and too much challenge for my plastic wheel.

I hope nothing contagious comes from everyone playing inside Dick skins this season.  :'(

I'm with you on that one Joe!  I sat in with you on the replay, you certainly drive a lot more relaxed than I do.  :o

How do you save your replays by the way? I don't get any screen or anything after exiting with the option to save. I think I used to, but the one time I tried it after a race it saved the qually.

You have to go into your replay folder and rename/save the file yourself. Before you go into another race or it will be over written.

Interesting position of mini HUD in your shots - in the mirror. I suppose its no coincidence that they're exactly the same size.

So it records a replay every race and you just have to grab the file afterwards?

Or; on the results screen just click the save replay button in the top-right.
That will save it under a unique name.
