lessons learnt, I can't tune cars for shit, twitch streaming at it's highest setting isn't for the likes of us and three abreast in a tunnel is a bit tight...
and not to let the fiancee cook, christ...

Both standings/weekly results are in the linked document. I know more people have done the time trials, but I don't have the time to track them all down. If you had a time for the last two weeks just PM them to me. I'll add them and update the doc.
Next week I like the thought of the Track Toys, I want to see that Caterham. We'll do the American muscle the week after. I'll pick the tracks later tonight and post a proper banner and info.

I like the idea of GT cars on Le Mans, and I would suggest Road Atlanta or Sebring as the 2nd track. I doubt I will do as good as I did this week, but it is always a blast to race with you guys.
Awww yissssss. I guess I'm done here. It was fun racing with you guys, I've achieved what I wanted to.
See you guys next week hopefully.
+1
Whatever it is, just don't race this group around Yas Marina again. You guys were some straight assassins around some of those corners lol.

I heard the E21 on yas marina with full damage was going to be next week's 3rd race...
+2!

Thrustmaster have a budget second wheel now, seems to be using the same rim and pedals as the TX but with a small base and no force feedback.
Maybe now they can get to work on releasing the shifter and pedals.

Don't worry, I will be using it. I am currently doing the Track Toys League in Career, so I am already honing my car. The thing is fuckin SQUIRRELY under ANY gas though. Great fun, but I am worried I will be sideways more often then straight.

Why on earth would anyone buy a wheel in 2014 with no FFB?

Beats me. Just over double that will get you the TX.
That's DFGT money, should have cost less than £40.

I dunno if you have streamed anything recently, but if so then you need to turn on archives. Because the only thing in your channel is from 5 months ago.

It is quite popular these days, although most of that still tends to be PC stuff like LoL. But Titanfall had quite a few streams going when it came out with up to like 30k people watching some.
I actually enjoy catching some of ForzaGAF streaming as it is a fun little thing to do while you might be waiting for something or just fucking around. The Kinect integration is fantastic as it basically is a full stream setup out of the box. I am going to stream a TON more when Liz and I get a good co-op game, mainly because it will be fun to watch later on and also because we have some friends that live far away and it might be an interesting way for them to interact with us.
Other than that? Who knows really. I have always thought it was really odd that it was so popular, but there is a weird voyeur/exhibitionist feeling to it. I feel like it is one of those things that is a bit hard to explain.
Interesting! I like walking around with no pants on too much to ever consider something similar.

Go back a couple of pages and watch the post race videos... You'll realise you'll be fine
Yup! It is usually Frontier, SoundScream and I all trying to not come in last place.

Working hard to get a good time in the last Bounty Hunter...1 hour later I just managed a 2:35 lap. I'm sure Mech will go over that very soon, so I have to keep improving...
frontieruk

Well that gives me some confidence
It's where the best racing is... We are skilled enough to let the faster teams through in hope of getting better contracts with better teams in the future...
I like to pretend to be in an f1 team...
I'll get my coat.

Hey!
You saw last weeks standings?
That's what happens when I stay far away from the Canadian mafia.
Protection money came through, so we left you alone. We'll need more money to insure a smooth race next weekend.
