Did the seasonal events yesterday and managed to get to level 30 in A-Spec.
Unlocked the X2010 Special event and thoutght I would try it with a pad.
After a few errors I managed to complete Monza but was shocked to see I am 10 seconds off the bronze time

I guess I will try again with my wheel and being way more aggressive in the corners.

Just throw it into the corners and believe in the car. You get more turning circle when using the wheel so you can go into them faster and harder than with the pad. still hard tho especially the nuburgring which is a beast to even get bronze

Anyone used a thrustmaster run and drive on this. Wondered what the optical wheel is like compared to an actual wheel.

 

[Doohickey]

wow pretty awesome already owned all the cars for the new seasonal events so didn't cost me a penny to do the races best profit i've made since i started playing

Why did you already have a Suzuki Cappucino!?

 

[Doohickey]

Annoying isn't it! I need to find stuff to buy!

Anyone bought/have the 20 mill Cr Ferrari?

I had one. Had to once I found you could RM it

Anyone bought/have the 20 mill Cr Ferrari?

I've looked at it Seasonals pay for themselves so may as well have a play with the expensive Ferraris

Does anyone know if the 98 Mini comes up in the UCD?

Does anyone know if the 98 Mini comes up in the UCD?

I'll be up for that if you're still on when my Bob has finished the GVS endurance

 

[Sydney]

yea I'll stick around for a bit.
Might run road cars if not enough people have LMP grade cars.

 

[Jadds]

I joined your room! The Nardo is fast

 

[Sydney]

Yes it is. I might be running a competition of some kind with one as a prize
They don't show up too often but definitely worth getting if you see it, one of the fastest road cars in the game.
I think I drove everyone out of the room though
One guy tried a couple of cars against it, then decided to try the Zonda R, thinking he was being clever.. so I got out my R92CP.. which was maybe a bit mean.

 

[Jadds]

That might have been me..

 

[Sydney]

glad you stuck around. Hope the connection isn't too bad.. shouldn't be my end, nothing else using my bandwidths.
Well I'll keep the room going while I noms and hopefully we'll get some OcUKers in for a bit of a lark about. Will see what sort of speed I can get out of that Nissan with min downforce, it was hitting 135 (edit: 235.. obviously) anyway

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

I left because I've started again and only done 2 events in the career and I spent all my seasonal money on the Ferrari's.

Got nothing that will compete with the top tier cars at the moment.

 

[bcjames]

Im in the room. I can't drive

edit: how does it chose what cars I can use online? I changed out my minolta, and now I;ve had to exit completely to go get back in it :s
