Whoo Hoo my steering wheel has arrived - now I'm just waiting on the blasted game.

What nights are you all on the server - still mainly Thursdays?
I'm going to try and set it up and get it tweaked propery but may need some help if some kind soul is willing to give me a few pointers.

TIA

Great night thanks chaps.  The Mini's round Brands was a blast, really good close racing.  Dijon was fun too, especially for me having won the first one by attrition and the secon was my best ever race with you guy's.  Very enjoyable and still fair.  I have made some good progress with the driving lately and I think some of it is down to the DFP.  Anyway, thanks again for a great evening.

Well, report from Sunday, not quite last night, but another fine and enjoyable experience.  Thanks to Old for picking the Lotus Elite, not a car I had any experience with but what a great little car to drive.  Racing was again at Brands which I love anyway and we had some real close racing despite Doorman having sampled the winners shampoo pre-emptively.  The commentary was somewhat amusing as a result.  I have to play with some real cars tonight so I'll hopefully see you chaps on Thursday night for the next installment.

Great stuff again last night.  Alphas and Cortinas for most with some good close racing and up to 8 on the grid.  I'm now able to stay on the track for most of the race!  It was good to see some new racers last night.  I don't think I cut anyone up or ousted them unfairly but apologies if I did.  I find that I have to spend all my time looking forward just to stay on the track!

Ooo you missed all the fun of the MkIIs.
Stately, controlled progress in an elegant manner while admiring that lovely burr-walnut and commenting on that annoying windscreen-wiper. Not!!

It was most enjoyable again last night, thanks. I have to apologise to Malcolm Reynolds who I took off in the first turn in my last race.  Sorry, I simply did not see you until it was too late, I got a good start and thought I had beaten all to the first bend, I looked in the mirror and only saw cars behind.  I did try to steer away after first contact but it was too late.  My fault entirely.  :blush:   Anyway, it settled into a great race where Malcolm managed to get back into second and as my tyres were going off I nearly gave it all away.  Looking forward to the next installment.

Nah....I watched the replay later on. I was on the wrong line for starters and as a result I went into the corner all crabbed. I knocked you flying too, so it was just as much my own fault if not all. Turned out a fun race anyhow  .

[Doorman]

Such nice gentlemen. After you sir. No, after you, I insist.  Makes me want to puke!             :lmfao:

[Malcolm Reynolds]

I couldn't race last night, had to do a system restore   . Well, only to last Friday.

[JamesB]

What was that evil little track we raced last night?  Had a nasty tight set of bends at the top end of the cct, I never felt in control of the car through them.  Oldy was the quickest in terms of individual lap times by some way.  Left me in a pool of sweat that track.  Brands was good as usual.  May not get to race tonight, but at least that gives someone else the chance to win.

Racing tonight for me

Hope to see you on trackside tonight fellas !

Well, after about an hour of swearing at that bloody woman saying 'ERROR, ERROR.....ERROR', I managed to get Teamspeak connected up and running......and  er....no one was on it  :roflmao:
Still, 'least it sorted now &*%%$!..... &^£$%!.... %%$$^^!!!!!!

Oh dear, probably not the best time to tell you that because a couple dropped out we went back to ventrilo as it made life easier for me!  I had a bloody good scrap with Deetz last night round Brands although we were for the most part about 4 seconda apart.  For ages I was lapping with him 4 sec or so behind and he was not making inroads into that lead, then I changed down two gears at once going round Druids and span out as a result.  Deetz got passed and the situation was reversed with me trailing him for the rest of the race by a similar margin, again, I could not make any appreciable dent on his lead.  He did taunt me by telling me that the cloud of dust I could see in front at one point was not caused by him!
