    the racing series is official but in the wrong subforum, I know. Laughing That's only due to the fact that the official club event section is locked. Both threads will be moved by Anthony later.

    The announcement is a little short- dated, sorry for that. But I guess everyone has expected it and most of you guys are testing, tuning and comparing a lot of cars. It is good to see how much you are looking forward to the new series and how much effort you put in it.

    If against expectations there are 6 or less people we can held the 1st race as a test session and delay the kick off for 1 week due to the point that the announcement is that late.

    To compensate the late release we have decided to choose Mugello as the 1st track, because nearly all of you have tested their cars there.

    If someone needs help with a tune or needs a tune at all please let me or another member (fraser and Anthony can do tunes too and I am sure they are willing to help) know.

    Put me on your friendslist please, then I can send you a tune...

    It seems to end with 7 Alfa's against 1 Jag D- Type, 1 MG and 1 other car this week. Laughing

    Then I should take my MB 300SL, but it is at least 2 secs off the pace. It is funny how different B500 can be. Normally you would say B500 is equal to B500, some cars have more power, other ones a better handling. That logically should even things up, but it doesn't.

    I think we'll see different winners at different tracks, so it'll be interesting at least Smile

    hopefully we will get a lot of people at each race and other members that did not take part in the last series.

    I'd love to see a 300 SLR on the grid! I can't afford one... I know a bunch of you have been doing a lot of testing at Mugello - but seeing that the MB is off the pace there, does that mean that its likely to be off the pace of those same cars at the other tracks too?

    I think my MGB might be well off the pace too... hmm best go and test it I guess, but I love it anyway!

    I will work on the livery this evening.

    Looking forward to this series. Really hoping a few other members come along to this one. Would be great if we could get a grid of 13/14+ instead of 9 or 10. Here's hoping...

    Just an idea, but because of the big list of eligible cars and the variety, what if you could only use the same car for a certain number of races?

    This could add some extra stategy and make it even more interesting.

    Anyway, just an idea. What do people think?

    I don't have much hope that the car could be competitive at any other track too. Sad It is the same with the MGB, at least 2 secs off the pace too. But it is light weighted and with an adjustable gearbox it maybe can be competitive on shorter tracks like Iberian or Sebring.


    @Jim I think you will be forced to use different cars on different tracks if you wanna be competitive. i don't believe that the Alfa does well for example at the Alps track, it is underpowered to climb up fast enough or to go the long downhill straight at Maple Valley, where it also usually rolls over by hitting the curbs because of its light weight like at Sebring too.

    I've tried to find a mix of tracks with different track profiles and I am sure you have to switch your car at least 3 times.

    By the way, thank you for the hint, I forgot to write down a rule, the event information thread is updated and the added rule is bold.
    That's not a reprisal but it should make sure that you are engaged in the series and find out the right car for the right track. See it as a little reward for those who spend a lot of time into practising.

    Good idea to allow changes of car through the series. It should help those are are willing to put the time in testing etc.

    Sadly my MGB didn't drive as I was hoping it might. As much as I like it, I reckon I'll be jumping ship from that and into an Austin Healey 3000. That felt much better for the few laps I did around Mugello earlier.

    I just want to say sorry to SimF40 and Fraser for ruining your races this evening at Laguna Seca. Sim, I gave you a bump in the first corner of the first race - not sure how it happened, only a slight nudge but it spun you nonetheless. Fraser, I'm really sorry about that corner in race 2. Entirely my fault.

    To be honest, I feel that I've become a bit of a liability on the track these last few weeks - I've caused quite a few incidents here and there and I feel pretty bad about it. In all honesty, I think I need a break from TREU and the weekly meets. I've got all sorts on my plate at the minute and feel quite stressed generally. So I'll just say thanks for all the great racing over the past few months - I've really enjoyed it - and apologies for any knocks along the way. Perhaps I'll join back in again in a month or three if you'll have me. Take care and have fun fellas!

    That's a shame you will be leaving us, I think with the different cars breaking at different times due to a mixed grid collisions will be more frequent, dont be to hard on yourself it happens to us all, There where a few crashes all round, I had the worst time trying to controll the cortina,( me over driving it Embarassed ) I also tagged someone at the start to,sorry guys, I did the same last week before my Internet dropped out.
    These cars dont really appeal to me they belong in a museum lol! Having said that I will be there each week,
    I don't have the time to test so many different cars so I will be sticking to just two or three throughout the championship
    I did have a couple of battles which where hard fought which were fun and I hope fair. Passing is very hard in a swaying pram Very Happy

    See you next time.

    Had fun last night, untill seconds before race 2 I got disconnected from Xbox Live ... Crying or Very sad
    I don't have the time for testing and tuning,so I had a tune from the storefront, a quick paintjob and jumped in.
    That little Beetle wasn't that bad Smile
    Rudyard, it's a shame you're leaving,but I understand, if it becomes stressfull, there's no fun at it
    Hope to see you back soon !!

    Nice drive yesterday.

    Sorry for Leaving. But I wasn't prepare to that. I had no Car, so can't tune anything. I just use a car from TREU's garage and It was a bad idea. The car wasn't good prepare for Laguna. So after 22 laps on the last place I gave up cos i don't want to spend another 40 minutes in that condition.

    Anyway, Congrats to the winner ;-)
