Driver swap?

Driver swap?

Not sure if you guys actually tried the track but a driver swap would be needed as there are only 10 grid spots. The track is bumpy as hell and twice as wide as the real thing up the top of the mountain. This is from NFS shift which was probably the poorest Bathurst made to date by a big studio and to top it off its a very poorly done conversion of an already poor orginal. The scenery outside the fence looks nice but everything inside the fence is rubbish.  ;D

Sorry to butt in, but since we run the seasons in the cobras, wouldn't something else in between be more appropriate? :)
Or is the next season an F40 season? (yes yes!)

My bathurst has 36 pits or am I missing something. Also, I agree with Bird _ let's try something close to V8s on Panorama!

I did try the version linked only had 10 spots, also the server shows more cars then pits. The track itself is pretty bad there may be a better version around as it would be hard to have a worse one.

There is a road america rip around which we have tried on my server cant rememember how many grid spots but it worked ok. Not sure where I got the track as someone shared it on TS and since I did a reinstall I dont have it. Shouldnt be too hard to find though obviously also an illegal conversion, if there are enough grid spots the version we ran as raceable for a fun night.

Ah, so the race is tonight was just going to come and check about that because the title says the 13th which is actually Saturday and was a bit confused but that clears it up.

Yes. The graphs.

Was good fun, layout is nice shame track isnt quite up to league standard. I have seen somebody else is making scratch version of Road America and it looks pretty good so far but very early build. This one we used is just a pretty rushed quick conversion and unlikely the guy will come back and fix it up.

Yea Yug is easier to remember.

Shouldnt it be Yug Doowpeerht? unless he is chineese and the name is backwards with first name last. Does anyone know if he is is Chineese? I thought he may have been hearing him on TS with his very fake aussie accent ;)

Flappop, that Yug guy is such a fine upstanding gentleman.  I think we should all deposit large sums of money into his bank account.

Race 2 would have been more fun if Gratulin hadn't have poleaxed me off the track!  Despite me encouraging it.

Glad to be of service Yug! I had totally lost concentration by then - was looking for the pit entrance...

He did a public service just there!  I think there should be a reward for that :D

It's a pity I got beached on some invisible obstruction in race 2. I was really enjoying it. Something clicked... or the track grip was different - I felt like I could really control and drift the car through corners, which made the racing a lot more enjoyable. It's a fleeting feeling in the Cobra. I'm sure that next week, it will feel like a handful again.

It certainly will be a handful since it will the Cobra F40!!!!
