Can we get the server up so we can start practicing , we gonna need lots of it for these monsters :-*

[sdancourt]

This car ask for a very, very, gentle right foot.

[gorgias1976]

In the laps I've done to calculate race length the car was a beast to be tamed. Don't know if setup can help make the car throtle and coast less aggressive.

[Hedlund]

And the track is really slippery when green too... Some rubber will do it ^^

[Paul Swire]

Sorry for delay guys. Server will be up tonight

[deecee52]

Guys we may want to rethink using the cobra here , the car is a handfull and i sensed some people were not enjoying it when we practised last night , seeing as how this is supposed to be a fun event we might want to choose something easier and save the Cobra for a smoother more open track like Brianza .

I suggest we choose something easier to drive like F3 , Megane OR KARTs , Oulton used to host Kart racing but had to stop because of the numbers of deaths and injuries , what does everyone think ?

[gorgias1976]

which was the other car that was similar to the Cobra but less powerful? We could use that.

Edit: The panoz it was.

i d rather drive an old cobra than a panoz anyday you two got noting to say- you seem to be able to handle the car -

after you left last night , we were catching on and having more fun .....if you dont 'try' to go fast and just let it - it gets easier -keep the rpms down- enter corners slowly- get the car straight and go- 8)

Yes i can push it round the track quickly , but this is about FUN racing , when we all get on the track with these its going to be a crash fest and very frustrating for some , lets make it light hearted and go more for the fun aspect rather than skill , choose something thats easy to drive so we can go wheel to wheel and hustle each other , theres no points involved so lets make it a laugh .

[gorgias1976]

So, any talk about the car this past night on the server?. I'll be going away tomorrow until sunday afternoon, will check the forum periodically.

How about the smaller tin tops like the clio then?

I think it would work well on a twisty track like this?

[Paul Swire]

Change of plan. Because its a fun event we will stick with the Cobra but damage will be set to Zero.

That way if there are crashes you will only lose places and be able to continue racing. I have edited the OP to show this.

Great decision 8)

Indeed

Just saved this real road file from our server.. not that much rubber but it's a start. Would appreciate if Paul could upload to both servers
