Yep, will need to be if it's against the clock.

Need to make sure one of us takes a photo of the race times so we can post it up. I'll make sure my camera is at the ready when I'm racing.

Might be an idea for everyone to add, at least, Dazza (wrxdazza) and me (BRI4N ESC) to their friends list, if we're not already on it.

lol, as long as people race at least against someone listed here, shouldn't matter what day they do it. Just as long as te race is declared beforehand and you dont restart it, thats all.

stability doesnt make too much difference although it has a braking effect on lateral sliding !!! yeah.... turn it OFF !!!

matt, you can turn it off anyway manually on your options settings which overrides the racing settings!!

LOL, im up for a testing session just to see how mine compares before the big race!

Listening to you guys, mine sounds underpowered as i dont have any issues in a straight line OR round corners

But then, i dont suppose its much use going fast in circles lol

gr8 fun again last night, racing is getting so close, me & P1 ben were 0.01/0.07 seconds difference in 3 or 4 races.

8 car, 1st corner = total carnage and loss of bumpers FPMSL!!!!



p.s.: i need to do some testing/tuning on my BMW as its only tune is 60% downforce on rear and about 2 laps of testing.
