If you run the MX with the Ndivia logo as your main sponsor for 20 races you automatically enter to win a 3D monitor, 3D glasses, and a video card.

... Just saying ;)

The gearing can be more advantageous on some tracks. The aero difference have been reduced in last update. Ot also depends on your driving style, I think the handling is different from one car to the other.

Lets shoot for next weekend, like saturday noon. I need to find out how much it costs to host a race, how it works ... And give time to practice to whoever. Ill PM findings to whoever is in this thread.

Im thinking the Mx5 because everyone has it. For the track, maybe a default one so no one has to spend monies. The Glen short is the friendliest a far as rom for passing but I think it's not a default one.

What we got for default?
Lame Rock, Laguna ... Summit maybe?
Why don't u guys vote :) vote closes Monday morning.

i'll be up for doing an AH player only race.   

3 Out of 3 races so far i've been griefed by ramming noobs.   I need to put more time in to get more advanced tactics on steering clear of the idiots.

Not enough hours in the day   :cry

checking my 6 and having good SA doesn't cut it.

yeah :cheers: you can't be agressive in the rookie races except if you have a very low qual time and a good iRating.

I am tanking my I rating or whatever it is they use.....mostly from dropping
a wheel off into the grass. Four races so far and only once have touched
another car, it was a racing deal though. I am finding Talladega gets very
loose in the draft, scary loose....

3 Out of 3 races so far i've been griefed by ramming noobs.

Was horrible for me this weekend... I also had (I think) 3 races I just retired from due to sheer stupidity.

Second on the grid at Limerock.  3rd place guy jumps the start, gets black flagged, and then proceeds to bump me off track as though he could have actually gained a position.

Now, I need to buy yet another Track IR sensor thing...  :bhead

On the plus side; I think I've got the skippy down.

AH race vote:  Any car - Summit Main.  Easy to learn, tough to master.  My only gripe is that they have not accurately modeled the level of grip available at Turn 5.  Feels like an ice skating rink in iR.  Not so in RL.  It's a throw-away corner, but it might as well be named "Trailing Throttle Pit of Doom" in the game.

What's your fastest lap time, in the skippy, at SP? I've managed to get mine down to 1.21.399. Turn 4 at SP is my worse nightmate, for some reason I'll always loose the backend on that corner and that corner only.

I've got some spare iRacing credits and I'm thinking about setting up a special Aces High race this Saturday, MX5's @ Laguna?

That's what I had in mind Kazaa, Mx @ laguna since everyone is familiar with it. Hosted race is $3 to create, none to join.

I propose
10 min practice, Qual and 40 min race with one mandatory pit stop to spice it up? Summit's cool too, LameRock meh.

Pick a time on Saturday, maybe 12 moon EST?

I don't think most of us could handle/stay on track for 40 mins. Maybe something simple would be best this time around.
