[Christian Moreau]

Sign me up for this one Lorenzo, one last little race before my vacation.

 

[Mark Oates]

If I where a professional driver, say like maybe Daniel Ricciardo. Id smile real big (like always) and thank sponsors, talk about how hard the guys have been working on the car, optimistically talk about the troubles but how we are gonna over come them, and thank the track designer of the great Autodromo di Modena for curing my insomnia.

Whoever designed this track had a couple cocktails too many before drawing it. T4-T5-T6 is like WTF?

 

[Shannon Flynn]

HI
I'm going through a brief period of sim racing burnout. I'll be back to race someday. Not this day, though

 

[Mark Oates]

LOL @Christian Moreau thats it exactly...when does it end.. its kinda like the energizer bunny.... keeps going and going. Great as a go-kart track I bet, but this car sucks. After 100 miles or so, I was able to pull a 1:18.510... but only once and that is probably slow. Be thankful we aren't running the abarth right ? For giggles run a gt2 car on modena after a long session of the mx5 on ... that is at least exciting... instant 1:07s lol

 

[Mark Oates]

Ill run Lorenzo... not gonna give up ...just presently scratchng my head is all. Dont know bout you all, but the more i think back to the games and tech i played with as a kid... what I have now is freaking unbelievable fun. No complaint here.... but the track does such with this car

 

[Lorenzo Bonder]

Very nice sire.

My first racing game was Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2. The quest for the McLaren F1 was real. The memories... We've come a long way.

 

[Lorenzo Bonder]

We can always go fo an upgrade and race theMac F1 here

That would be fun. I haven't raced the F1 GTR in AC much. So long as everybody can keep it on track, it could be fun on this track.

 

[Mark Oates]

IM gonna have a give the MacF1 a go tonight, that and the X-Bow

sign me up

 

[Christian Moreau]

Is everyone OK with the McLaren F1 for R2?

Done Quentis, and Chris...I have no problem but...

You have a death wish, don't you?

 

[Christian Moreau]

Indeed, I will enjoy listening to all of you scream. If only they had actual footage of J.J. Lehto ripping the F1 GTR in 1995 around Le Mans, in the RAIN, at NIGHT. No traction control, no ABS, manual gearbox... A true death wish if I've ever seen one.

 

[Quentis Gillispie]

I don't have a preference, I need to download the track

 

[Mark Oates]

So the choice is... bordom vs insanity? What a choice!!

 

[Mark Oates]

Ok, break thru. Last few days it was practically impossible to keep from locking the brakes up on the F1 and the MX5 was nearly impossible to trail brake. Though it was me, not being good an all that. Pushed pedal gamma to high, still... half inch travel and the brakes would lock up. Not Right! Googled, re-calibrated the wheel... and suddenly its alive, trail braking... no problems. Something must have happened in my logitech profiler or my assetto calibration, but its way better. In fact, I am wondering how long ive been driving like this?? Managed a 1:17 in the MX5 a few times, and took the world record on the RSR live timing... whoop de do... there is only one other guy on the charts...lol. Anyway... Modena is never gonna be a favorite but its an interesting lesson in driving. My vote is the MX5...ive been at it all week so I hate to switch cars to what is certain gonna be a disaster for me. Freaking Macf1 is a BEAST, and I am still to heavy on the go pedal to keep her from spinning.
