Bugger, feel for you Dan.

Hope you did well tonight all and had some good races Apologies again for not being able to get out of work

Actually, just had a look at the live timing...looks like you all had some good finishes. Well done to Chris for getting a 2nd in the 1st race, Daniel with a podium in race 2 and Si had some good finishes too nearly getting a podium? Either that or I have totally misread

Stupid game. That is all

was bit better this week lou, not that that`ll be what you want to hear. me and gaz started first race at the back and worked our way through the field, second race we traded positions once or twice and pretty much managed to hold our starting positions with gaz fairing better. race three i started 4th, got a good start and made 2nd but just couldn`t keep the more powerful hyundia velociraptor and seat leon behind.

Yeah, all went well to be honest. Eventful first race, started 6th, up to 4th, a mistake put me back to 8th, and got up to 6th. Second race, started 6th, EPIC start to 3rd, that's pretty much where I stayed. I could only catch the front two, couldn't mount a challenge, then a mistake would put 4th right on my tail. 3rd race, started 11th (of 13), up to 9th, then got mugged every lap at the hairpin until I was last. Fortune only put me back up to 11th. The BM is quick, but still fairly difficult to drive, so in my hands at least, is not good in close quarters racing.

Overall, some good racing. The driving standards are generally better, but still some very dubious, incredibly late braking manoeuvres.

Gaz and Si had good races too and seemed to go forward in each race. Think Gaz had a 10th, 7th and an 8th. Si had a 4th.

Baz had a major paddle shift problem bout 5 mins before the start so his potential was never realised.

Cool thanks for the update guys, v jealous i couldn't make it sorry to hear about your woes Baz, def think that Fanatec we were laffing about the other nite should maybe find its way to your house congrats again guys, another really good showing by Pixel

think the poogoet should be more suited to sedona than silverstone, managed a best of 1.43.235 last night over 6 laps.

what happened in your race two chris?

I got rammed and spun out on lap 10 putting me in last place

Just a quick one, is there anyone here who was in "BG Chucky 82's" race lobby during round 1 at Hockenheim, who had problems with driver: DJ Kenny Ken.

If so can you please message me A.S.A.P with any details, what happened, whether he was driving aggressively and/or generally rude during communications, it is vital that if you have had issues with the said driver you contact me immediately,
Thank you.

I was in his qualifying lobby for Silverstone. I think Baz's word of eejit would best suit my first reaction to his general persona and attitude.

A few video clips of my race 3. The word deja vu springs to mind. Can you spot the similarities in each clip.








EDIT: Also, a link to a few images from B lobby.

nice for the other racers that they got to use the beemer as a deflecter to bounce off and get round the corner

Im still amazed how few RWD cars there are the higher lobby you get to.

was only a 135 beemer in c lobby.

Just under 20 spots were wiped off the registry due to inactivity, leaving space for new drivers and/or teams to sign up, if you're interested find a car you like and get involved!

I know. Think I may have to make an addition to the livery. "Use brakes! Not my bumper... or my door!" Watching the replay back, I just can't believe how far back they were coming from. How in the right mind did they think the over take was on when they're coming from 100+ feet back. I tend not to even contemplate an overtake until I'm 40 feet away.

There were 4 in my lobby. The quickest was by far UK II Blackbird in the Marc VDS car. He was on my bumper for the second half of race one and the whole of race two.

I would love to see some more pixel peeps in this and if you are thinking bout it i`ll be more than happy to help build/tune cars

so here it is again

You giving up of the beemer Chris?

No staying in the BMW, just entering a second team for anyone interested in racing the last half of the series, and i'll sort all the tuning/painting.

Sounds like a good plan to me. That way, he's already secured the places, all you have to do it register, get a number, then Boogity Boogity Boogity. You can go racing. Some one has to take up this offer.

Looks like a good plan Chris and a nice set-up for those who might not have the time to tune n test etc. Should imagine you should have a few takers Is the Impreza entered as 4wd? or it converted to fit into the fwd/rwd lists?

Its entered as a RWD, and I compared all the remaining cars and found the Impreza was the easiest to drive, able to change the build freely to each track (within restrictions), and very consistent, only negative is its not as easy to tune but iv been working on it all afternoon, it is just as quick as the BMW on most tracks.

Iv opened it up to anyone on the other forum also, hopefully we'll have some interest soon.

Maybe send ID a msg on XBL Chris in case he doesn't see this thread, I might be remembering wrong, but I'm sure he showed an interest in this a few weeks ago?
