Inconsequential stuff

Doorman · May 21, 2009, 08:48:09 PM

This is REALLY inconsequential. I have spent the best part of the day taking every car in HistoriX and hammering them down the Mulsanne straight! I noted the top speed of them all at the point just before the right hand kink prior to the end.

It IS sad, I confess. That's retirement for you.

I was surprised by some of the results, especially at the slowest end.

If you're interested I've attached the list and may God have mercy upon you soul.

Nice!

A little surprised the 911s didn't do better..

And the Cortina... :lmfao:

Nice to see my precious Capri 3100 is only beaten by 5 others

Interesting list, Ron!

EDIT: did you fiddle with the gear ratios? Or did you just take every car as they come "out of the box"?

Out of the box.

I have found a league in North America to run this Mod and with some further detective work found this site for you guys. (If anyone was looking:) )

Looks like they run races on Sat. so I might try to get in there too.

Todd

I asked them, they run races at what would in my case be 3.00 AM Monday morning (Central European Time). Guess i won't be doing it...

..so that's why i couldn't find anyone on the server to race tonight is it? This is no time for your crazy experiments!

I gave up waiting around for iRacing to give you leave so I went and did some puking instead.

Damned if I didn't get a lockup/crash out of that as well. :angry:

Hello everyone... I'm back... Well not as much as before, new job changed my status to "employed".. Job is nothing special, but better then nothing (uhhm is it

) Working in the warehouse - my new anthem is "Money for nothing" :lmfao:

I've stomped last week on server on Monday, but was second shift till the end of the week, so are you still running the "old format" - races every day, gathering around 8 - 9 PM (7 - 8 GMT i guess)? I may join sometimes, as now i'm waking up in the early morning - around 5.30 AM CET, (that would be 4.30 GMT) when doing morning shifts, and that is acutally my only chance to drive, as second go all the way to 22.00, or to the 24.00 occasionally...

Job bloddy job. :ranting2: One part of me cries for unemploydness. :norty:

obsolum · June 08, 2009, 08:20:03 PM

Heh, I've been unemployed for 2 months now and I'm used to it

I was thinking to myself earlier today what it would be like to have to go to work again every day. Get up in the morning, work all day,... bah. Of course, I'm renovating our house so I've got lots to do, I've been busier these past 2 months than I was in the 2 years before that. I still have to get up early in the morning and work all day, even harder and longer than when I still had a job. And... I don't even get paid for it! But at least I'm working for myself

Anywho, the server won't be up as Doorz is having router problems. He'll try to sort it out as soon as possible.

Doorman · June 08, 2009, 08:23:36 PM

Don't knock 'employed' mate, lots of people would grab the chance. Specially in these uncertain times.
I've been having router problems as I've mentioned elsewhere, but we'll be up and running during the week. (Please

)
It's good to have you back Smithy.

Welcome back Lovretta, catch you soon

That roll cage doesn't come into the 'good' category either. :lmfao:
