Is there room for a more casual guy to join in and give this a shot?  I'm a decent racer and really love racing at Mugello.  Catalunya is no bueno... but I'd be happy to run both races this week to see how it goes.

We will be extra careful around you, Neptune!  Welcome back to Forza!

I posted the tune that I'll be using on my SF for free as well as updated the Car in the CG.

It is very forgiving but still pretty quick.

We would be only too pleased to have you on the paddock, sudoG.

It's 10:00pm Eastern or 9:00pm Central.  There will be 2 races; 10 laps at Nurburgring and 10 laps at Silverstone.  I expect each to last about 25 minutes.

We usually do car acclimatization runs for about first 15 minutes or so.

Just take it easy until the tire warms up because everyone will be diving toward the 1st corner and a little squirrelly coming out of it . . . It takes a lot of the fun out when you have car damage, especially in the beginning of the race.

Love that Ferrari wine as you pace through the gears. Two of my favorite tracks and lots of fun guys. Thanks GRD for being the consummate host even to the point of pitting to make it closer.  :-[

  Hey everyone. I have been in the process of moving, working and getting my family situated. I hope I am still part of the group though I have not not been able to participate recently. I do believe though that in the next few weeks everything will be back to normal(?) and I can join you again. You all have been greatly missed, and I haven't forgot you. God bless you all. HOD

We have not forgotten about you, Ho-Dog but I have been wondering about what's keeping you from joining.  Now we know better.

Hope you can join us soon!  This week is last July race.  Next month, we start with a new car.

Late is relative. If you miss all the warm up and make it when we are in the first lap of the official race you'll be right on time.  :P Hope to see you tonight!

And we don't expect you to join before we start the race anyways!  You have the knack for showing up just as we start lap 1!

Excellent races last night.  Thanks to OG, D, SROTH for showing up regularly.  Thanks to SuperDave for showing up last night and giving me a good run for all the races.

This series is now closed.

I was watching the replay and caught this . . . watch the wheels; that's good brake balance.
