AC Tin-Top Thursday – Cupra Challenge at the Nurburgring on April 25th

[stigs2cousin]

Just for the sake of completeness ( and community credit )

Clio is blue.

Now I have to sanitize my rig

and please, for the sake of Newtonian Physics, can someone explain to me why a FWD Shitbox spins it´s rear inner wheel when accelerating out of a corner? That pisses me off!!

@Shed 17 Paul, is Thursday's event with track temp at 30c, or the 19c that's on the server now?

Sorry to pester, but I might be late home and not have time to practice

 

[Shed 17]

Hi John.

Track temp for the race is 20 degrees.

 

[Boukâh]

I had to reschedule a band rehearsal to… thursday night… ah well… that’s life… but quite a shame, because I really like this combo, had a lot of good fun laps at the track already. I hope you can have some more races with this car Paul!

 

[Shed 17]

No worries Bouke, thanks for letting me know and have a good practice with the band.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Bleep,

once again I buried my laptime in the Mercedes Arena.

 

[Medilloni]

Wow, if everyone that's been on the server turns up, it's a 33 car grid

 

[gearwhine]

Looks like i will probably make it tonight.
Not my type of car and will only be there to make up the numbers looking at the lap times.
I HAD to change the engine audio to Shawn Clarks 2019 Cupra to stop me wanting to burn my ears out though!

 

[HF2000]

Hmm. If a server without password does attract a lot of other drivers who are potential new members, I will also configure such a server for my events.

It will be good if you can make it Steve, I know this track does no favours for this car and I am stuck in no mans land with it around here too.
I usually am making the numbers up in most races I join but hopefully find someone to have a race with along the way.
I am planning to use a version of the Cupra or all of them in an upcoming test to see if there is any interest in running a Britcar/NLS/ VLN type of race with several different cars grouped by speed/ performance, just trying to get it together so it makes sense.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Damn,

I should have practiced more.

But, I think we can't dream of a 33 car grid, not everyone on the server will have registered
(and the track has ?24? Pit boxes?)

 

[HF2000]

Damn,

I should have practiced more.

I haven't installed the car yet .....

 

[Partick Eaton]

I am going to sign up for this, but may only make the first race.

 

[Partick Eaton]

Can I get the PW please Han?

 

[stigs2cousin]

I haven't installed the car yet .....

I can't solve your problems for you......

 

[HF2000]

Sorry, I got of damage on my front wheels so they went in the red. The car went undriveable so I'd better quit.

Great combo, Paul!

 

[gearwhine]

Worked very well Paul.
Excellent collider positioning on the mod, allows you to get very very close without contact.
Great fun!

 

[Medilloni]

@Shed 17 Thanks for putting tonight's event on Paul, really enjoyed the car, great choice

Congrats also to Fulvio and Jason for the podiums

 

[Shed 17]

Some great racing everyone, it's Touring Cars so some door rubbing was expected but I did hear some comments at times about some driving standards.
If anyone has complaints then please follow the procedures as set out in the incident reporting rules as attached.

I am looking at putting together a Britcar/NLS/VLN type of event at sometime this year and if we can get grids like tonight it will make it very interesting, but in the meantime thanks all for entering well done to the podiums in both races and to everyone for making it an event.

Glad you've said this Paul... hopefully it'll stop the angry bickering over Discord
