Good racing last as mentioned above

Sorry for the nudge into the Suzuka chicane Ed, sh@t myself when u started coming towards me at a high rate of knots, hit the brakes then braced for the inevitable impact. Luckily enough there was no damage to either car and the race continued

The lowly wee 22b showed some of the big Skyline boys that it is not all about power, sometimes a naturally balanced chassis also helps

I will be on later tonight for some more bumper rubbing if anyone is around

Was great following you round that last bend on the Sebring (sp?) circuit yesterday. Not sure if my S204 was bobbling around as much as the 22B was. Certainly looked lively!

Haha, yeah it was fine, no harm done, it was my first time into that chicane in this game, so I wasn't sure where the brake point was going to be, I thought better safe than sorry!!! Plus that little Exige stops on a dime!

That section coming through those sweeping left-right-left-right curves at Suzuka are amazing on part throttle in third in that car, like you said, you can carry so much speed as long as you are smooth and blend the throttle. Amazing.

Not as funny as following you in the GT3 the night before

Now *that* thing is lively!

Id be up for this, played a bit last night with random people and it was like dodgems at the fair, any attempt at overtaking was greeted with being rammed.

GT RB5201, feel free to add me, may be on tonight if the wife lets me!

Cheers for the invite last night as well I had a good laugh last night.

to Awesomepossum. He could have rammed me in his 22b on one corner to overtake but he decided to back off to avoid a collision - Top driving

I'll be up for some more action tonight. It will be 7ish till 9ish if anyone is around.

last time I was on sunday night was great fun

it's much better playing with people who don't try and ram you when it's a 50/50 corner.

Your car was all over the place like a mad womens sh1te, i had no idea where the car was heading for next so i choose the safe option and backed off, lost me the race but gained me some kudos.

Seem to have developed a small sickness problem that will see me off work for a couple of days, damn shame that as i was enjoying being cooked alive in a Merc Sprinter. Oh well, seems i will just need to fire up the 360 and waste the rest of this afternoon, DIRT out on Fri as well.

If i see any of the SN crew log on to Live i will send an invite, no pressure to accept said invite if you are happy where you are. The rooms i setup will be purely for SN drivers and will not be invaded by Joe Public en masse

Should be up for a race later on guys, sorry for declining all the invites that have been sent, but have been having a few races with my mates round - would not be fair for them to ram any SN member into the armco and give the GTMonkeyboy a reputation of being a bully

Have managed to unlock a bit of the game thou.

I'll probably come online for a game later tonight.Add me if you like (NickA555)
The same goes for anyone else that wants to add me.I'm still getting to grips with the wheel and Playseat so you can safely say that I won't be winning any races!!

I'm torn, half of me wants to have more of the fantasitc online racing, the other wants to further the career game.
I think I'll play online, whilst interest in Forza2 is still high
