The thing with race laps is that if your battling you will generally be quite a bit slower then running on your own. But in the end best laps and first qualy times seem quite a similar order of drivers. Especially over the last few races of the last season which is what made the races a bit boring with everyone just that bit slower then the guy ahead most of the race.

Reverse grid would have been fun and Ive had some fun starting at the back on the public server. Which held up real well with 24 players at 10hz and flow control off on the little amazon server.

I think I have only been in a top '#' shoot out once, but have enjoyed watching them,  with only 5 I think most would enjoy 'sitting in'.

And the winner of the top 5 shootout has to upload his setup so that we can see how he tuned his car :)

Achiles heel is happy to help and share setups, just most of the "help" likely shouldnt be taken too literally and the setups shared are not likely used by the team drivers either.   :D

The setups in my dropbox are the exact same as what I've used during qualifying and race.

The only time I've used any different was for last weeks race 2 - I softened the front suspension a little and raised the ride height so the tyres would cope a bit better.  In hind-sight I don't think it really made much of a difference though.

So.. You're saying they are exactly the same except for the differences?
You where also very quick to defend yourself. Explain? Was it out of guilt?
And id you, or did you not have your fingers crossed when you wrote this quoted post?

Not having a great deal of fun with skinning lotusesess. Too many panels! lol
I've been working on a few though. Nothing too fancy as there isn't enough room. The BMW might have big panels though.
  I've got Guybrushes done though. And could do Mary's My Little Pony as well.

I'm not sure if anyone else want's me to try and duplicate their cobra skins onto Lotussues?

I dont remember asking for any skins Dick, you can drive the pony skin if you like.

You are delusional Marty! get some rest. You have been harrasing me for the last two weeks to make sure you get your My Little Pony skins.

It's OK Dick, remember our special friend is not the same as before his head injury, so you have to show a little patience now.

Don't nod your head and ignore it though, approach him calmly and politely explain what has happened.  If he starts to get frustrated then change the topic and come back to it later.  Remember, it's not his fault he is like this now.

I may have banged my head but I dont think Im the delusional one. To stop Dick from getting all upset I think we need to continue pretending that we asked for these skins and also that we like them.  ;D
