Glad it's a pen and not a pencil

Can't get out of it now

I'm a sucker for punishment, so sign me up! (you're a sucker for punishment too if you do sign me up!)

Bah, I know I'm gonna be there, so there's no use in waiting to sign up.
I did do a quick overview lap or three offline earlier tonight, and MAN is that track gonna be rough; really doesn't fit my driving style. Could be fun once I get it down (if I ever do). I've got some practice cut out for me, that's for sure.

As quick as you are, I have Zero, 0, nadda concern about you coming up with the pace. Peter Senna aka @thespeedracerx needs a challenge and I hope he can make it with us Sunday night.

I so want to give this a try. I may jump on the practice server for fun. Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of a high school art project due on Thursday. I'm out till then. I like the out of the box thinking @Bobby Pennington!

Thanks Peter. Life comes first and sim racing comes, oh I don't know around 7th or 8th. Good luck on the project. I'll get that GT-86 server going asap. Up until 4:00 this morning. I'm worn out

If you're drifting, I'm riding with you for the show

May have to introduce style points along with lap times like Formula D

DingoStarr · Jul 16, 2017

I think it's a surprisingly fun track. I never would have even thought to try it! Hoping to learn some things from you fast guys on Sunday ;-)

Thank you. Cobblestones hurt the experience a tad, but I thought we would love the experience of high speed sweepers

InsaneOzzie · Jul 16, 2017

This track is a blast in any car IMO, the Escort here is just pure filth

, so the F-Abarth should be mad especially over the cobblestone section

, looking forward to it

MTBR2001 · Jul 16, 2017
