Was awesome fun to be back guys. Thanks for the restart Cambo, can't believe i blew my engine twice though lol.
Installed this mod just towards the end of practice so not much time in the seat before kick-off but, thanks to Chris for lending me a set, i had a good base to start with. I really had a ball tonight, although my computer struggled a bit with framerate in the rain, averaging low 20's, but managed to be just decent enough to play.
Didn't have too much tight racing but the quicker guys coming through to lap me kept me on my toes - hopefully i got out of the way quickly enough and caused no issues. My aim was just to put in consistent laps and keep the car straight which for the most part i managed to do.
Looking forward to putting some practice in for the next round, and hopefully being a bit more competitive. Cheers guys and thanks to Cambo for adminning.

Good Stuff Schmickle great you are back yeh it only gets better from here.
With that said not sure what went on for me but car was undrivable, stayed in just to finish to get what ever points I could for the team and myself. Anyhow in trying to get a handle on what my problem was I went back into the sever straight after the race, still raining but now car is all good again 5 sec faster straight away. During both races felt like car was on ice I swear I was on slicks (set shows rain tyres, and top speed was max 249. Dropped wings to see if speed got any better but only picked up 2mph. Grabbed a dry set added wing and soften sway bars, brake bias to the rear for race 2. Still no better down on top speed and very little traction. At any throttle input rears just lit up straight away.
Keeping a watch n the game doing strange things while on server. Initial logon to server tonight was not the small white window asking for server pass word but large black box like I used to get before I went to steam. Not sure if there is anything to it but was very different to usual login. After that system just did not seem the same. I tried logging off and on again and the same big black window to enter server came up. Strange thing was that when I went in after the race I got the small white window again. I need to forget about this one it hurts too much.
Good win both races Johhny pity I was unable to challenge and Teamy in P2. Congrats to all that ran in the very trying conditions was not easy for anyone well done all See you next week.

All I can say is I hate the rain, Lucky to finish first race, not surprised I didnt finish the second. Car was horrible just wouldnt turn well and spun into the wall and damaged it again trying to get back to the pits. Hopefully some fine weather next round.
Well done everyone that finished a mighty feat in itself.

Yeah that was tough.
Probably didn't run enough downforce, kiwi was slower down the straight, but was overall faster than me.
Kept Kiwi behind me in race 1 until he got caught up with a GT car. Just cruised to second from there.
Race 2 I was doing my best to keep him behind, but he was much quicker. Made a mistake approaching the 20 minute mark and he got by. From there I just cruised home and still managed to make an error.
Great to see you back Schmickle. Well done Josh, Johnny and everyone that finished.

That was a hard race. Effing rain, thats twice now i have had good race pace and looking forward to chalenging for the win only for monsoon conditions to kick in. Think ill give up practicing. Had a blast though. Happy with qual, race 1 was fairly straight forward, didnt have the pace to stay with johnny and finished seccond. Front tyres were shot at the end so decided to up the pressures a bit. Race 2 started well but tyres took a bit of time to settle in. Once again had a few lags and put me down into 4th. Had a great tussle with phil and hitman, few bumps here and there and climed back to seccond, was pulling away from phill when chris had a moment and clipped me coming back onto the track before the final turn. Luckily no serious damage. Fought my way back again and finished a distant seccond.
Well done to the winners, were a class above.
