OK, what day/time works for everyone? Same time next Monday?

[benyl]

Mondays work for me (the back marker). haha

[TommyEK4]

how can i join this??

[rage2]

Post your xbox name, add me (rage2) on xbox, and I'll add you to the list of ppl to invite.

[BigBadVlad]

yeah Monday should be good.
still don'T know how i got a penalty for speeding in pit lane when the pits were set to automatic.... rigged I tell you host must have access to a stewards control panel or something!!!!

[rage2]

haha that's bizarre, I bombed into the pits at full speed and the auto limiter just took care of it all. BTW - sorry about Monaco lap 1. I dove on the inside and my front left tapped your rear right and you spun right around.

Did you spin out in the Bahrain track in the early laps? I went off, and I thought you were going to pass me when I rejoined, pushed the next few corners hard, and you disappeared.

[Skyline_Addict]

I can't wait to get to the next race cause I'm so mad at myself, but ya I guess Monday works for now...

almost clipped you rage, when you spun out on lap 9.

it's good to know I can really compete with you guys if you make a mistake or two!

[rage2]

Yea, really need to work on my consistency.

[ryanallan]

Monday works for me.

I am ForzaRX btw

I believe you spun out twice before I passed you. On lap 8 where you were further ahead, then on lap 9 when i was a few cars behind you, haha.

[Mibz]

Mondays are actually the worst days for me. Wednesdays are best, followed by Tuesdays. Not that bad timing is going to stop me.

i think i had like 3 spins during the race all of them inthe first lap or two I think and one lurid slide later on.
it's funny cause I thought oh man this Haysen guy sounds fast and Rage2 as well, I'll just drive my race, concsistent and I'll probably pick up a couple places just from others pushing too hard. and look what happened I was "that guy". Yeah Turn 1, I moved to cover the inside line and I remember looking down or something, god knows why, and when I noticed rage2 breaking already it was too late. I figured I'll just shoot through try and avoid hitting rage2 in the first corner and making a mess so I drove it wide and came back on easy.

Next race will be different! haha yeah right...

haha, ya, I was actually settling down to a decent 1:52 pace, but you were catching up to me HARD, something like 2 seconds a lap. Once I started to push, I think I clocked a few 1:51's before spinning twice. Next time, I'll just keep a decent pace, cuz it's not easy to pass. I'll just hold everyone up lol! The race definately rewards consistency, Skyline would've been 2nd if it wasn't for the penalty. It's too bad for us that Haysen is both fast and consistent.

I did manage to get a really good in lap before the pits, and out lap after my pitstop on the primes, and caught back up and finished 2 seconds behind you (at one point I was like 14 seconds back). If it wasn't for that, you would've still been ahead of me after the penalty.

Yea, I had worked on my turn 1 strategy with Haysen before the race started, and agreed that he was going to take the inside, and I was going to take the outside slightly wide (which puts me on the inside of 2). When I braked, I saw you dart right in front of me and had to take evasive action to not get smoked. That was enough for Haysen to get by all of us, and that was it!

[rage2]

This will be a fun one, a real driver's track. Consistency is the key here, times are pretty much the same regardless of high or low downforce setup. Same time Monday?

[benyl]

Works for me.

[[GaGe]]

We should get the teams assigned ASAP as well... makes the championship more exciting haha.

[Bladeh]

I would like to join if possible
