I'm sure if you changed from gold wheels it'll take a second or two off your time

*although I'm sure if I took the garish vinyl off mine it would be more aerodynamic

Cool

Right worked on my car last night, handles crap(ish) and im not sure im entirely happy with the finished product but here she is (so far).






With my recent addition to the family I can get some game time in between feeds, usually 9pm(ish) to 11:30(ish), so unfortunately i may have to pull out from time to time (happy just to make up the numbers though).

Hopefully see you online soon

I set a fairly nice time in my 22b last night. Still room for improvement.
Neanderthal, I gifted you an impreza for the scoobynet logo if you don't mind.

Thanks

No probs, I'll sort it out when I get home and gift it back

Had a good few races last night. Had to leave early cause I had to get up early this morning. When I left one lobby I got an invite from a mate, so had one race round the Ring and just beat him by .05 seconds! saved the replay so I could take a photo of the finish line. Might be even closer than the one where I raced Jack.

most of you guys are in the top 1800 drivers so not a bad start really considering you only had a few runs with these cars.

Add that to the fact that the scoobs just arn't the fastest of the 700PI bunch it's an impressive set of times.

You can go flat out through the next right hander, but the following right hander needs to be taken slower otherwise you'll be off.
What I found when actually racing (rather than hotlapping) is that I let off the gas coming up to the jump so I only got a little air, makes the car more settled through the following set of rights, leading on to the never ending left hander onto the start finish straight.

Although to be fair, the momentary lift I make won't allow you to close up much from the long distance behind you'll probably be
At least you realise you'll be behind though

I'm off the throttle when in the air, then back on it, then off a bit and a down change sees me into the next right, back up to fifth flat out to just before the apex of the last left, downshift, turn in and flat out again over the finish.

I could be a bit faster if I tuned the gears a touch as I'm nudging a change to 6th just before the straight. Either stretch 5th out or use all 6 gears.

I'll need to sort the understeer my S204 has before setting any sort of time. It's smooth to drive 1:58 round full mugello but not loose enough for my driving style.

Things are moving fast round here, and I dont mean the cars. I`ll have to pull my finger out and sort myself an Impreza. Some really great pics. I`m impressed. The next job will be to pry the wife away from the telly for a couple of hours one evening, that wont be easy
