Just did a couple of laps in each car, so far the Jag is good.

Hey Bruce,

I you keep having problems and need a local business address to deliver it to PM me, i work just around the corner from you in Nunawading.

So if it makes your life easier, let me know, and you can pick it up from here.

[Mr Fox]

very nice bruce, you still get out? i hope so.

[flattop]

Thanks Steve, it is currently addressed to my wife's work place in Camberwell, should be okay, if not I will have it sent a mates workshop in Moorabbin, as he works long hours.
Cheers.

[flattop]

very nice bruce, you still get out? i hope so.



if they get my lovely board to me



This will be hitting the surf @Eden just before Xmas *BIG grin*

[Mr Fox]

good one, server is up now.

[sco_aus]

Had a go on all of them, the fezza is nice and balanced, but i think in the right hands that e-type is gonna kick.

[rpo83]

Just ran a few laps, this was my favorite track in P&G, the Falcon's love this track.

The benz was a surprise, slow as, but fun to drive, i managed a 1:37 in the lightweight, foul handling setup, so looks like a little time will be needed to sort it out.

What times you guys doing??

[Sprinterboy]

1.41 in the fezz so far, still stock with some minor brake pressure changes.

1.38 in the Jag coupe, stock with minor gear change.

Haven't had a good go in the merc, can't keep it on the black stuff as well. feels a little slower down the straights

You and me both, I had the 'ol #455 Kubic machine at Snetterton with you in P&G and really enjoyed it, hence selection for this season.
Wide track, plenty of overtaking (and lapping ) areas and fast, and even better in rFactor land. The bridge is still as hard and causes the same destruction as the P&G version.
The bridge was my demise last time when the 'tangs tyres went, but it was fun until then. I have already destroyed a Jag light-wieght on the same immovable object.

The fezz 1:42, the jag was a little quicker? forgotten.

[tears of JOY]
They found it
[/tears of JOY]
it lost a bar code, so what do they do? just leave it in the corner for a few days, rather than reconcile it. May be they have an end of year give away of all the 'lost' goods? :tape:
Anyway, it should be in Morrabbin today!, Thanks for kind offer Steve, it is appreciated. I will pick it up tomorrow, talk car crap with my mates, drink some tea, talk surfing exploits.

I am struggling with the rFactor version, i just can't seem to get the same flow i was able to get, sliding through the last seies of corners starting before the bridge. I am hoping it is a setup issue, looks like i will have to stay out of COD this weekend, and tweak...

Hopefully it will be a fitting track to end the seaon on, however, it will have a lot to live up to after last round, i can't believe how well Puka ended up being. close racing and everyone seemed to have a great time, well most people... Sorry Glen :)

Know what ya mean Bruce ..had the same problem this short cut dosnt work
Jag --1-37
Fezza --1-39
merc -?????

[rpo83]

Sounds like we are all close in times, take the benz for a drive Jeff, it is really good. Well it would be if it went faster, it turns in so well, watch the stock steering lock though 10 degrees!

If i can get the lightweight to turn in like the benz we will be onto a winner

I can see a few setups being swapped over the next couple of days :bananapartyhat:

[SpeedFreak]

Rpo Quote --take the benz for a drive Jeff, it is really good.

No its not ...sounds like a lawnmower and drives like 1 and it has no roof and that will mess my hair up while im driving ...this black ducks going 4 the Jag ....Thats.. Bond... Jeff Bond :laser:
Into the 36's recon 35 by race night

[Mr Fox]

Sorry Glen :)

Dont be, i had one of the best races going from last to second in race 2 lol

[rpo83]

I just went and checked my old lap times from P&G.

In the Mustang, i was doing 1:38's. I would have sworn the laps were quicker!! they certainly felt quicker.

I may try and get on tonight. I have to pull my PC down later tonight so i can exchange the motherboard tomorrow!!! Wish me luck, i hope i can get it back to tip top shape for Wednesday :sick:

LOL
me too

[rpo83]

just finished some laps, got down to a 1:36.3 in the lightweight:bananapartyhat: 35's will be a big call, but i haven't played with radiators and brake ducts yet, so who knows

About to pull my PC apart, so hopefully i'll see you all later!!

[Acerlyte]

Good luck with the PC repairs RPO, hopefully no unexpected surpises :thumb:

I haven't had a go here yet but I figure the Jag will be the gun car out of this lot. Shame though since the Ferrari is such a nice car to drive and has the sound to boot. Looks as though you blokes have yourselves pretty well sorted with some fast laps already, I will have to try and get some practice in over the weekend to keep up!:eek:

[Sprinterboy]

Sco_aus and I have done a few pre races with AI drivers. I can lap in the 1.39's with the coupe Jag, faily standered.

[flattop]

OT okay I should have been practising at Snetterton (but the server was empty and I get lonely), jumped on a public server sporting the new Long Beach 2007 1.00 track, nice track. Practising in the Cortina ready for season 3, had a ball.
Race against an Escort and big vette left me wanting, but had plenty of practice with others who were using Elan and a BMW.
Well not being a front runner I'm going Ferrari, it sounds better! But reading through the posts may have to play with the ducting size to get a little extra.

[J Alesi]

Hi Glen & All

I tried to get on late last night onto the server it kept kicking me out, does the server shut at a certain time?

I will be on tonight sounds like everyone on the jag.

See you out there.

[Acerlyte]

Go the Ferrari! It sounds fantastic :D

So far I have got a 1:37.7 in the Fazza but I reckon there is a little more in it. Gotta work out all this setup stuff, though I did learn a lesson about upping the RPM limit. It's great for smoking your engine in under a lap ^_^.

yer mate i dont know why you were getting kicked. Server should be 24/7

[flattop]

yer mate i dont know why you were getting kicked. Server should be 24/7

Can you remember or capture the message if there is one?

[Mr Fox]

it woud take awhile (hours) Maybe look at other things first, for instance if everyone else doesnt have any problems then maybe it could be his ISP or a program running in the background on his machine.

sorry I had meant to aks/quote J Alisie not you.

[J Alesi]

no it just said server disconneted, I was on last so maybe it was on my end

Drove the Jag got into the high 1:37min don't think I can go faster.

Love the fazza sounds great its a pity it just isn't fast enough, the Jag sounds like your strangling a cat!

But I think its the best car, looks like im going to have to find another 3 sec a lap to kept up with you guys:bounce:

pleased to see the problem was 'a once off' and you have been able to connect ready for tomorrow night. I'll go for "sound" and it will also increase the chances of me finishing, going slightly slower :bounce:

[Sprinterboy]

Has everybody taken note of when the tyres let go on the Jag???

Pretty sure the fezz is a little easier on them (or its how I drive both cars)

[Mr Fox]

I always found it is down to the driver, the faster you go the quicker you go through tyres. But its the really quick guys that can go fast and conserve the car :)

[SpeedFreak]

Im more worried about the engine letting go..:ohwell: any1 doing laps 2 night should be on later still trying 2 make up my mind which 1 to drive ...Fezza slower but stable or Jag Fast and out off control

[rpo83]

[Mr Fox]

[Acerlyte]

Another English car whitewash is on the cards it seems though I guess the track is fitting in this instance. Looking forward to seeing you guys flying the big cats on the track tomorrow night :thumb:.

Considering how close we were driving to each other on the track last night, i think tonight may be special :bounce:

sorry, Melbourne time Fast, I have updated this omission on the page. cu on the track tonight.

[Fast Company]

thanx Flattop, It'll be great to get behind the wheel again

[Bodie]

Hi chaps,

I'm doing mid 37's in the fezz, and can't really seem to squeeze anymore out of it?? I think maybe i'm wheel spinning too much on all the oil leaking out of the Jags !! anyone got any saw dust handy,

Bodie

[rpo83]

I don't think Bond, Jeff Bond :spy: has any sawdust, but i believe he has a secret compartment full of tacks that he intends dropping on the track. You could try and sweet talk him into swapping the tacks for sawdust, but i wouldn't hold my breath.

37's in the Ferrari is fantastic, and it sounds so good:Banane31:

[Mr Fox]

2 X 12 laps tonight lads
