Never listening to a word you guys say on race night again..You all tell fibs...With all the talk of tyres degrading and working out pitstops I was expecting most to dive in and get fresh rubber.. :-\  I had the perfect strategy if you'd have just played along.....Started 4th and very carefully dropped back through the field to wait patiently.....and there I stayed.... ::) ;D

Bj was going to Race but had a last minute nvidia driver issue. Be good to have him back as well.

I was wondering why I was seeing you slideways, that explains it.   BJ should be fine, the Merc is almost a Porsche!

I had FUN last night ,the first time I have felt comfortable in the Sierra after working out a controller setup
that conveyed when it wanted to swap ends !
I think everyone enjoys Thursday Fun Runs as we seem to have a bunch of racers who drive like they
OWN the car not STOLEN it !! Looking forward to next week.

With this bunch of racers Slideways you will NEVER win a race from the back of the field, on bald tyres they could still set
record lap times.

Wish someone reminded me of that also lol

I was sure everyone would pit, was so slippery after my vibration and flatspot on the front from my massive lockup when  i made a mistake and then cooked the rears pushing too hard

Was it just me or did the cars feel completely different this week after the AC update?
I seemed to be slip sliding everywhere or is it just RA is a slippery track?
Anyway had plenty of fun with little battles here and there throughout the race which usually ended with me yielding in the braking zones.
Thanks all

I felt exactly the same Humper, car was the same to drive except I felt like I was driving on Ice at times.

My move up the inside of You down the hill obviously never payed off and I found it a lot harder to actually
get back on the track without spinning out everywhere which put me back down the order near last..

Seemed like you were out braking me everywhere, I thought you had that done easy coming down the hill. Was quite surprised when you just kept going straight out onto the grass.

Some of the mod tracks, especially conversions, can feel a bit slippery. Something to do with the track surface.
