Damn Quick!
Seriously, what an excellent night of racing five excellent races wasn't it? But what of the league races that count to points?
Race1
TC500 cars are fun. There's no doubt about that. I think I was lucky, I don't think I'd have got past Chris's blinding STi had I been behind it - how can I be sure? George was stuck back in third for most of the race but just couldn't find a gap to come past.
I'm glad it's not just a 4wd fest' but it so could easily become one.
Interesting fact of the night, we had two beemers, two mercs and two scoobies in that race. Team event!
Race2
Meh. Steering wheel fell off it's clamps on lap one for me which wrote off what was shaping up to to be another hot race for me. Of the rest of the field, the replay looks awesome. Low boost is just enough to cover up minor mistakes but also allow the quick drivers to shine out.
Chris demonstrated his luck at being a couch potato for the week with a win. In fairness you are quick mate.

After races
Fun in the 650Open class cars for sure. That 787B is extreme, although on a tighter course it won't be any use at all - Chris your Chevvy' was quicker round the bends for sure.
George's FAP Wagon set a quick pace too, it's a beautiful car for sure and I think rated as one of the top cars in the game (if maxed out). Certainly I'm glad we've set the bar at 650pp - the cars are just about manageable!
The Super GT cars of course are fun - is there ever a time when they're not?
Super GT - for the after races?
Here's the deal folks, let's set a challenge to have race of these demons...
Spec:
- Japanese make racing car,
- Max 590pp
- Open tuning.
We'll use those for some after races, and who knows they may make an appearance in the league if we all end up with one. Do let the group know if I've set the PP limit too low (I think it's in the ball park for most of the ricers).

Evan, cheers for recommending the headset, once I'd worked out où est la bluetooth setting it was all good.

I think last night proved that the 4wd don't have a huge advantage. No matter what I did, I couldn't get past you, I could easily keep up, but without pulling off some hectic overtake under breaking, I don't think I would've got past you. The 4wd's have an advantage coming out of corners, but not over the top...
Agreed, perhaps the low boost is good as it doesn't cause too much levelling down the straights. Fantastic race to watch from your perspective though, total hounding the whole time and it's only the M5's rock solid drive that kept me in front, any car not so well balanced would have struggled there...
