[Włodek Traczyk]

Add me to the list. With me will be Saturday morning.

 

[El-ahrairah]

Again tentative

 

[Jamie]

yes please

 

[El-ahrairah]

I'm in but I'll be on-call which means I could mcbail at any moment.

@El-ahrairah @Casper
I've changed this event to the 2-Eleven GT4, because quite frankly either of the T125 cars are a preposterous choice of car for a club event. It just isn't a club car, and the 2-11 GT4 is a far more approachable car for everyone.

WoW... Change car...

Yesterday on race I broke the steering wheel I think the fix until Saturday.

 

[Aidan Keranen]

either car is fine. would have loved the T125 again

T125 is a great car, it's just that very few can people can actually keep the thing on track for more than 2 laps. It's a bit of a handful, so I decided to change to something that is more manageable and that more people can have a fun race with

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Nah the T125 is a dream
keep in mind that i loved driving it on a xbox controller too

 

[Jamie]

I wouldn't mind a crack either at the T125. Maybe we can get a verbal agreement setup for a decent grid of at least 8 or more when we get together on teamspeak at another event and make a time there and then. Just not between 18th and 25th August please. Back in Bali again.
It's only a one off. We surprised ourselves with pretty clean racing in the FM

I'm happy to change this back to the T125, it's just I don't think it'll be a fun race for anyone. It's just too tough to drive consistently for most. Most people will be spinning out every other corner and the pace differences will result in like 30 second gaps.

The T125 is on a totally different level compared to the Formula Master, lol.

I totally understand mate, that's why I thought if we have a chat during a club run with decent numbers we can see what the response is like and then go with it rather than make an event where no one turns up. @El-ahrairah , @Ashley Cowan and I joined a European server at silverstone one night in the Williams 2009 and had quite a bit of fun
Happy to wait and get some feedback from the crew

 

[Ashley Cowan]

In some ways those cars are easier than road cars. I think we need to throw them in mix occasionally. The big difference is the reaction times and concentration needed. They stick so well but boy the corners arrive quickly.
Maybe 2 short races helps with that.

Racing anything at Mugello is freaking cool. I am just gutted there is a Bledisloe Cup match and we have friends coming over.

 

[Włodek Traczyk]

I have not driven a Lotus GT4 for me maybe more difficult to drive than T125. We'll see...

 

[Matt]

its a pitty that I cant make it tonight as I want to give this a crack, going camping with some old mates.

 

[Nick Milton]

Fancied the T125, but I'm in , but I still have a PC prob, being sorted but prob not by then , so I could disappear easily, and I don't mean in your mirrors, that's normal.

PC having the i5 4690k replaced with a i7, and the gtx9704gb replaced with gtx9804gb,

I gotta pay cost difference. but good

 

[Jamie]

Any idea yet where this one is going @Chris Stacey ???
