I set out to see what i could do/ or how much i wanted to do.
I got hit up the arse by another GT3 car and got a 4x on lap 23…which made my day and meant doing my stints clean go out the window.
I ran for 8 hours and 20 minutes none stop except for tyres and fuel i never left my seat and i did 269 laps with 14 incidents all told.
i did laps 51 to 171 with no incidents so 120 clean laps
then i parked the car in the pits in 8th place and called it a day….i could have run 12 hours but not 24 unless there was more to do on track,
or a lot of encouragement from the guys on team speak.
So off i Went for a nice hot bath and that was the end of the story or so i thought.
While i was snoring my head off Doug my team mate decided to have a go…..
well he did 191 laps on and off in my night which gave me a big surprise this morning as no one was expected to run in the car with me lol
so we ended up in 10th place in the 1st split and the car never moved for 10 hours 😛
Big well done to Doug for doing this in a car he does not drive !
Not bad for a pair of old farts.
well done you pair o auld farts :)))
that’s some effort non-stop.
will be joining you soon, that’s if 47 counts as old 🙂
new PC getting built and should be with me this week.
I’ll speak with Biggy on phone and get TS details.
hopefully wont take to long to grind out the licenses but realise I have a lot to learn !!!
ps…..
love the paint on that car… I would fly through rookies with a paintjob like that on the wee MX-5 🙂
everybody would be looking at the car instead of the corners and TT would sail on by :)))
Licences won’t be a problem just got to keep out of trouble.
If your getting a new wheel and have a few £££ more then go for the Thurstmaster t500 http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/t500rs
look around as prices can differ quite a bit.
If not then the Logitech g27 is still a good wheel..just not as good 🙂
Yes i need to get the paint on more cars.
Only do all this if your into racing as a hobby…..biggy does not come on much. i do not do lots of races…i just race when i feel like it, i can have as much fun watching others race.
You should get on ts first
That’s a wheel I’ve been looking at, however due to the expense in having to start from scratch and trying to get quality products so I don’t have to buy twice (like I did before) I have soon blew the budget 😉
All I will say at this moment is that I wont be under the stairs anymore.
will use my G25 meantime as it seems to be working correctly, registering full pedals etc etc.
I will get on TS hopefully this week if the PC gets delivered (from OCUK) most probably Friday.
And you can watch me (spotter) anytime you like, as long as you promise not to put me off by laughing to much !!!
Speak soon.
well PC got delivered early, but it still hasn’t been switched on !!!
still sorting out my new room 😉
2 more nightshifts left then off till next Tuesday, I’ll be on a mission :)))
