Bummer, won't be able to make this one.

Awesome car to race and Brands Indy should make for some good racing.

Have fun everyone!

It is a fun little car, we'll see if this one attracts a bit more attention than the Miata.

 

[Brandon Wright]

Anyone else up for some small car racing?

 

[Rupe Wilson]

I love these little cars Brandon, its just the wrong time for me, i cant burn the midnight oil like i used to.
We need this in the EU events..
Nooby Monday Abarty party
so easy to drive, For me its AC version of a mini challenge, I think in race 07 i learnt so much about racing in the little cars,
Racing in a pack is so much fun, its were you learn your race craft.
If you think about it, in real life nobody just goes straight in a super powerful car . You maybe start in a go kart. (karting.)
then progress from there. open wheeler (formula ford ) or the tin top route, single make series, All the time homing your skills, trying to impress and get noticed by a team and sponsors. and looking to move on to bigger and better.

I think the same can apply to sim racing.. learning to race in a smaller car rewards you in so many ways.
Race craft, car control, you learn to understand understeer /oversteer, (small example)
and don't forget learning a track at a slower speed is so easy. And the added bonus you meet other drivers and make friends.
Its a wonderful journey to make with a group of like minded drivers. And maybe less frustrating than crashing at every event in a car you love to drive, when all you need is experience, Hot lapping is not the same as racing.
But in sim racing you can have it all all of the time,

At times i will be the first to say some of the cars and track combos don't suit me, But when i see a driver sign up for an event, its oh i remember a real good race with tom dick or harry and i sing up. not only to have fun but in the hope he returns the favor on a car or track i know he may not like as much.. A Club spirit starts to happen. Its infectious. Before i know it im racing here there and everywhere and getting invites from drivers in other events..

So to me these types of cars a so important in a healthy club and the basis for any learning and racing in club events..

Don't loose faith you build they will come..

 

[Edward Mowinckel]

Count me in. Turn one in these cars, with a big grid, that would be uh. Somethin'.

You can be a part of that uh. Somethin', too!

 

[Larry Downing]

In. Please

 

[Edward Mowinckel]

Look if you join we can play together, and these cars, with this track, they're very floaty, lots of elevation changes, you have to work the momentum of the car very well. There are turns and we're going to be near each other, I mean, come on? I mean come on. Come on. Just come on, man. That's fun.

So it's a lot like Hydro Thunder, but in a wee bitty li'l land car. It's pretty great, and if you don't join you're a butt. You're made of butts, and you are a butt.

So I mean so far four people aren't butts. It could be more.

I just want to put this out there. Butts. You? Potentially. Could change, though.

Anyone else up for some slow car racing this evening? It's a fun little car, easy to drive and easy to race hard!

 

[Brandon Wright]

Now that this little car is front page news let's get some more cars on the grid!

 

[Edward Mowinckel]

Turn one at Brands Hatch in these cars is a treat. It can only be made better by more people joining.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH TAGS FOR THIS ONE!?

#notdesperate

 

[Bobby Pennington]

#liftoffoversteer #nogoslo #pullnpush (that's front wheel drive, but pushing the pace)
Let me know if I'm on the right thinking process

No, he meant tagging people (put a @ in front of their name and they receive a notification that they've been tagged and will come look to see what's up). I like your enthusiasm though!

Anyone feel like racing the Abarth AC tonight?

 

[Bobby Pennington]

I got ya. I don't really know many people so I'm not sure if I should tag people or not. Might be overstepping on my part at this point.

No worries. Are you able to race with us tonight?

 

[TinoM]

I would if I could...but i got no wheel....so I can't

 

[Daniel Trapp]

As much as I'd like to join you, I can't do most weekday us races.
