I've been kinda burnt out on GT3s across the board lately, but this format sounds exciting, so sign me up! Thanks for the tag @Herbie

 

[Oreos]

Working again Thursday sorry @Herbie

 

[Herbie]

Working again Thursday sorry @Herbie

Hey, that's fine! Sometime soon we meet again on track I mean just see...no collision hopefully

It is created by Bram according to a saying: if one sheep leaps over the ditch all the rest will follow.
Basically it means, if one person signs up, more will follow. If nobody signs up, then people are let down because there is nobody to race with and they aren't signing up either (whilst they should). What you are doing Herbs, is exactly the right thing to kill the sheep, sign up early, get people to join. Other people see a full event and want to join as well as there is a guaranteed race.

Just like in public servers, you need one driver t ofill the server. Somebody has to start the fun.

We are going to limit those to max two per week, once on the Wednesday and once on the Saturday

Oh sorry! Forgot your injury
What kind of injury is it actually?

 

[Rami]

No need to be sorry
They fixed a snapped tendon from my shoulder... just taking a good while to heal, and impossible to use my left hand for steering at the moment

I only fear that you're risking to let it become a chronic pain
The shoulder is a crappy joint by nature anyway, you know...
Would be a loss for us but even much more for you!
Take an advice from a doctor: At least see how your shoulder is wednesday and then decide

Have ridden few races with broken ribs etc in real life, so think I'll manage these
I found a good position for it in my rig when I cushioned hand rest with pillow
So it allows me to just hang that hand and only do the downshifts with it... so no stress for the operated shoulder.

Edit: And sincere thanks for your concern...

 

[Herbie]

Hope I didn't sound like your parents

 

[Rami]

Hope I didn't sound like your parents

It´s been few decades since they've bothered to try and guide me
And no you didn't

You're right, I did say I have to but Wednesday is wtcc night (especially next week @bathurst!) I'll have a look at other races on AC next week and we'll see what happens..thanks for the tag again though and if you keep tagging me it will get the point where I can't refuse haha

Have a good race everyone

 

[SakL]

Of course, don´t take the tag too serious! I don´t want to force you, just wanna lure you
But as you just gave me the permission....I will keep on tagging you
What kind of race would you like? I can send a wish to the staff

btw... are the sims that similar so that you can just hop into another one and have fun there?
´cause I am thinking about getting another one but 1.) I wouldn´t have the time to train for a second game (actually I don´t have really time to drive AC much) and 2.) I like AC very much

 

[Herbie]

Friday and already 7 on the grid Very nice

I took some rounds yesterday with @ROBY F1 (thank´s to him btw) ´s setup for the beamer!
Somebody tried that? Good for a fast lap for sure but is it good for a race?
