Catch up time...

Hi folks,
Apologies for not updating following race #0, it was a top night even with just four of us racing.
The AEM S2000 racers really require some serious control on the throttle, I think all of us crashed at least once - and it did become a war of attrition as we also had room updates happening too, causing complete game crashes for most.

Advice is to get online and race before Thursday, as after the first half hour it all came good.

So the results

Race1
1. Chris
2. Paul
3. Andrew
4. Evan (DNF)

Race2
1. Paul
2. Chris
3. Andrew
4. Evan (I think DNF again actually!)

But then things got interesting...

We had a go in our GT590 racers around Madrid. Epic fun for sure, and I'll make sure we have another street race or two in these cars (I think there's a points race at London actually).

Next race
This Thursday sees the start of the season proper. And there's no room to ease yourself in (that was the S2000 race!).

It's a classic race for the TC500 cars, on our very own FCT GT5 race track. This track suits these cars totally and the brave can make the cut on corners whilst the ballistic can do it on the straights. Every race is close, and every race has some incidents. Marvellous.

Personally, I'll be driving this:

The Lexus is a fast car and no mistake. Literately, no mistake or it changes ends...
I'll endeavour to do a test'n'tune on Wednesday, if you've not raced this circuit before it's well worth it.

More on the night, but Targa Florio is an old school epic race, one not to be missed.

Laters!
