What is 'Discontinuity' mean? Class field, well done Stu.

:lmfao: I just did a Late model race at Lanier. (don't need brakes.

That's the theory anyway) Brilliant. The concentration needed in order not to be the 'AH of the day', is unrelenting! My constant companion was a guy that kept telling there was a 'car inside'. I don't know where I'd have been without him.

And with good reason too!

I'm looking forward to racing against you all next season.

Man I just wanted to say that I really really really hate the Solstice Rookie at Lime Rock Park :ranting2:

I just can't get real consistency out of that piece of crap :sideways: Every time mess up sooner or later.

Fortunately My safety rating is high enough to get in the Spec Racer.

And by the way : I getting a little bit annoyed by my Qualification time (1.04.

I'm getting placed with guys who are way faster than me. (I can't do 1.04 consistently...)

It's hot, go get a nice cold beer.
A thought though; Everyone's car is the same in the rookie Solstice so that 'piece of crap' is working for someone. :norty:
Another thought; Does that qualifying time stay with you all week? I've never done a qualification on the basis that I'll be last on the grid anyway!

I know it's the same for everyone :lmfao: I just don't get a feel for the car at LRP... :g: The qualification time stays all week (I think). I raced three races tonight all with the same qualification time.

I probably be joying the spec racer championship this week :yahoo:

Doorman · July 01, 2009, 11:29:04 PM

I've just looked at your results and think you're a bit hard on yourself. Also, judging by the rest of the field, that's where you'd be put anyway. So the qualification don't mean squat.

The Moose · July 02, 2009, 02:42:40 AM

Your qual time stays with you all week unless you do another faster qual session.

Your Qual time also has no bearing whatsoever on the group you race with... Thats entirely based on your iRating.

It took me a couple of weeks racing for my iRating to get to a point where it started putting me in with more evenly matched drivers. (and of course it depends on how many splits there are for a race)

Doorman · July 05, 2009, 11:07:11 PM

Great race tonight. Skip Barber at Segula Leca. Full of drama, joy and heartache.

Me? I nabbed a 4th AND, even though I don't give a fig for such things, I increased my SR and iRating. C class here I come :roflmao:

Second in an SRF at some American oval with an infield road section. Very chuffed.

Well done mate!

Was thinking about this earlier, and its a real bummer that they don't run another set of seasons alongside the ones there with just the standard tracks.

I resubbed the other day, and found out I can't race with the Skip Barber until next season and a track comes around that I happen to own. Really gutting really, as I can't afford to have to be spending $50-$150 odd dollars just to be able to participate in a season for a car I have purchased.

Still enjoying the SRF though and I spose thats enough, but still its a shame that there isn't alternative to having to splurge loads of money on tracks on each season.

Also did I just imagine that there used to be a Legends road series? What the hell happened to that, as that would be a great alternative to Solstice/SRF series's for the guys with not a lot of cash.

I suppose I shouldn't really be complaining as its a great game and the FFB is sublime, but its a shame that they rule out people that don't want to be buying lots of tracks on top of the cars they buy and the subscription fee that they pay.
