Feature Race: 50

Cars & Respective World Record Times:
FXO: 1:11.15
RB4: 1:12.29

As usual, remember not to use the same car as on the previous race with this car class. images/smilies/smile.gif

The track is not difficult with these cars, so practice, and we'll hopefully have a close race.

I think everyone is going for the FXO. If "I" can manage 1:12.27, which is better than the world record for the other two cars, then everyone will take the FXO images/smilies/wink.gif.

Can't wait to show you guys my skin. Finally something I like. And NO I didn't destroy the original skin, most of it is still there images/smilies/wink.gif.

Lots of practice (About 90 laps so far) and tweaking the setup. Still got to do a bit more tweaking but it is very minute.

Forgot to mention one thing!!!

EU people changed time, daylight saving crap. We put the lock today, 26March after mindnight 1h forward. So for some of you who don't use this daylight saving system, race will start either 1h earlier or 1h later. Keep that in mind!!! images/smilies/smile.gif

So, are we racing then at 18:00 British Summer Time, i.e. 19:00 GMT?

I hate daylight savings.

GraemeH no. It's 17:00GMT from now on. (Ignore what the poster says, I didn't think about it when I made it)

It's 19:00CET. Germany, The Netherlands, etc are now in GMT+2. If you also moved the clock 1h forward, then it's 18:00 local time for you, just as it used to be.

PS: Check this link out to find out what 19:00CET means for you.

http://wwp.central-european-time.com/

edit:
One more useful link, of the current clock time around the world
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

Use some EU city as a reference, Amsterdam for instance.
Race warm up, Server Openening, at 19:00 Amsterdam Time.

It's a relatively easy track, you can't do much wrong, 4 corners alltogether. images/smilies/wink.gif

Wish I could join, I like the course, but the real world car needs serious detailing and cleaning, about 6-7 hours worth.

Did I mention I do that 3 times a year, too?

Pathetic. I don't detail for 6-7 hours. I'm sorry. The body of the car is there for protection.

I don't care how it looks on the outside (apart from rust) as long as the interior and mechanicals are sound.

Good luck. This should one of the more exciting races this year.

Besides, I suck at this game. Plus, you guys probably dont have a wife wondering why you practice 2 hours a night to a fruitless end. Ah, well.

Have fun! 8)
