My eyes are still sore, my foot hurts but the 2.4 was a lot of fun. The 33 DPs in split 2 were covered by half a second on the grid

. Didn't have the cleanest of races (all my own doing) but had a reasonable finish of 13th.

I hope you have saved some energy for the OMR race tonight

Been practicing and have my optimum down to a 46.8 but best is only a 48.3

(thats with a full tank)
I don't know what I'm meant to be doing with tyre pressures/temps tho

I've just got home from a 9hr go kart race, with 4 and a half hours drive in both directions to the track.

I woke up 8AM yesterday, no sleep since, not sure if I will still be awake when the race rolls around

not to mention you'd have arms of jelly

LOL my sitting at a computer screen for 160 minutes was a lot tougher than that.

How'd you go?

Ended up 3rd out of 33 karts. 2 more laps and we could have won! top 4 separated by 4 seconds after 9 hours!

ARGH! god damn it. Was coming 4th and then got disconnected. First time that has ever happened. Internet seems fine so I have no idea is going on.

Really annoyed because it was a great race up until that point

Boneman · 19th February 2012, 8:19 PM

Its more annoying when youre coming 1st! Actually only happened to me once so far, touchwood.

marty_s13 · 19th February 2012, 8:23 PM

ended up coming 6th with irating and SR gain so not too bad. Would have got more SR but as it was disconnecting a car just appeared in front of me and got a 4x though no damage. Pretty annoyed about that too.

A lot of annoying things have happened to me lately which is making me love this game less and less

Will be a high SOF if it goes official as one Madison Down is running in it.

This setup on forum is good:

Rego open! 4 confirmed via iRacing forum.

Doh Craig! I thought we had the 1-2 but I failed at working out how much fuel I would need.. So I was stressing about how much fuel to add while entering the pits (for a 2nd time!), did a dangerous pit entry AND was speeding... :/

poguemahone · 19th February 2012, 10:38 PM

Great race, could have been a pretty wild final 15 minutes if Tim hung around. You were flying out there in the second half, still a good 'team' result.

Having to think fuel numbers while driving never ends well for me.

Yeah it was great sitting behind you and Tim for that 2nd stint. Should be good having him for the rest of the series. I found some pace out there for the 2nd half for sure. Some new lines and some more confidence helped that. Have to sort out fuel strategy properly for next race!
