  1. I watched the 2nd half of the Arsenal game, with AFTV on my phone, expecting some fireworks. They only had to score one goal, at home. Taking off their best striker was not appreciated by their fans and if Arteta keeps his job that will be interesting. Spurs are still managerless but Ryan has been doing okay so far, last few games to try for 4th place but I doubt it.
  2. FG Spring Season Race #11 Willow Springs: Big Willow Gr.4 20 laps Tyres x3 Fuel x4 Soft and Medium tyres. Mediums are compulsory for one lap minimum. It's possible to do all 20 laps on one tank in the Mediums. From 10 laps in the RCZ on Softs I was getting 1:17 Race 2 Lago Maggiore GP2 (reverse) Gr.2 6 laps Any tyres, no fuel use.
  3. Nice one 🙂 We're all noobs apart from the two ringers at the top and a back end smasher called Mike 🤪
  4. Two races to go, here are the latest standings. Tight at the top between @Greboth and @JBR-Kiwi Final standings will be from the best 9 results out of 12 which means @JBR-Kiwi will be looking at to win the final races with Greebs holding advantage there and can forget that 4th place finish ever happened 🙂 Position Driver Race 1 Race 2 Race 3 Race 4 Race 5 Race 6 Race 7 Race 8 Race 9 Race 10 Total Pts 1 Greboth 25 25 20 25 20 25 25 25 15 20 225 2 JBR-Kiwi 20 20 25 20 25 20 20 20 25 25 220 3 Mikepjbell 12 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 20 10 147 4 phil_oi 15 12 12 12 n/c 12 12 n/a 11 12 98 5 Crispy 7 8 8 11 11 10 9 11 9 11 95 6 GazzaGarratt 9 11 10 8 12 DNF 4 10 12 9 85 7 slamminbones 8 10 7 10 10 9 5 8 7 7 81 8 JTLurch 11 n/a 11 n/a n/a n/a 10 9 n/a 15 56 9 TEENWOLF25 10 n/a 9 DNF n/a n/a 8 12 DNF n/a 39 10 MadTitan n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a DNF 6 n/a 8 8 22 11 Lord Baguette n/a 9 DNF 9 n/a n/a DNF n/a n/a n/a 18 12 Jordie n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 7 n/a 10 n/a 17 13 Diddums n/a n/a n/a n/a 9 n/a n/a n/a 6 n/a 15 14 Misneach DNF n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 0
  5. I picked up RE7 in a Steam sale and I'll do the same for this next crimbo or whatever.
  6. I'd seed it so that the weaker pairings get first dibs on manufacturer 🤗
  7. I forgot about Manufacturers, yes, let's do that, and I'm sure we can implement it for Summer. For endurance I would need to do two races in effect. Once all from the first two laps have completed, the comparison times will determine starting places, and gaps, for the 2nd race. If someone finishes 1st in race 1 by 12 seconds, their partner starts race 2 that many seconds ahead of 2nd place etc etc It would be a pain in the arse go be fair😅
  8. Whoever pairs with me, note that lube is no longer required, my back end has been smashed so often I'm fitting a revolving door. But yeah sounds interesting. Spring Season has 2 races to go, with an end of season finale. Then first week of June, Summer Season starts. So, could start it then. Maybe do the pairing by lottery or stats, whatever you prefer. The only drawback for me is that so far I've not been too sweaty and this would make me very sweaty. Don't mind fucking myself over but I'd be mortified to do it to someone else 😅 Love the @crispymorgan idea of an endurance race. If we want I can make one of the Summer Season races a 4 lap endurance round Nurburgring with each driver doing 2 laps each to test it out?
  9. Missed a few lately but noticed today @RenFenggeis another year closer to enlightenment 🤗 Many happy returns 🙂
  10. It wasn't fuel that fucked me, or Greebs embrace in the first lap. Tyre choice. Qualification was shit as I didn't manage to do a single lap without crashing off, not always under my own steam😁 But I had a great start and was running in 2nd holding everyone off until the corkscrew moment of bliss which left me and Greebs running in last. I decided at that point it was going to have to be a non stop race if I was going to have any chance if getting a position. Put my power down to 4 and concentrated on putting in steady, if slower, laps. Worked a treat. When everyone ahead pitted I found myself 3rd with 3 laps to go and about 7 seconds ahead of Crispy and James. But it was the super softs that were my undoing. I was still about a second and a half ahead on the last lap but the tyres gave up on the corner before the uphill and it was all over, both @Lurch and @crispymorgan passed me soon after. Crispy fucked himself up breaking late on the very last corner so I managed to salvage my 4th place. @Mikepjbell hated this race, which pleases me no end😅 @slamminbones didn't have much time to practice but we had a good battle at BlueMoon in the 2nd race . Great qualy and drive by James who will be major competition next season. Shout out to @Macca89 and apologies as I know I misjudged your braking at one point and nudged you off, but you're definitely getting better each week👏
  11. Yep, two races left for the Spring Season. @Greboth has one hand on the trophy but its not a dead cert, just yet. Great racing last night and my no stopper almost worked with @crispymorgan and @Lurch catching me on the last lap. What @JBR-Kiwi said is so true. Him and Greebs are still the front runners but the pack behind is very competitive now, with James getting a deserved 3rd place in the main race. Crispy has gotten up to speed very quickly and is already threatening my perennial 4th place finishes...
  12. I have F1 2020 on Steam if anyone fancies it. Was in the April humble bundle but I already own it on PS4. Also, have a key for Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, again on Steam.
  13. Lobby will be up from 7pm if anyone wants some early practice.
  14. So long as they don't start fucking around with it on the PC side of things, I don't really care. I bet they start fucking around with it on the PC side of things. 😅
  15. You're all banned cough cough I mean don't be like me and let the power go to your head 🤗 Nice one guys 😍
  16. Those pictures look a bit fake but I'm hoping we get some proper news very soon.
  17. Glad I tried the demo. Definitely not picking this up. Not a chance. I was hoping for something a little more fluid and less clunky. It looks good in some places but outside looks like a game made in 2015. Dying Light looks better. I'm also, so over cut scenes and being on rails, and quick time events. Unless this is a poor representation of the final game, I can't be bothered with it.
  18. Probably getting on BF V. The more of us the merrier with that game. Might branch out to something else but that's as good an anchor as any. Bunch of anchors is an FG Friday night in gaming slang.
  19. Personally I think that's a great offering, we've started playing BF V recently and now i can drop EA play. Already have Wreckfest but again a game we play a fair amount of. Anyone who doesn't have the games will be happy🙂
  20. FG League Race #10 Laguna Seca Gr.3 15 laps (aim for low 1:20s) Tyres x3 Fuel x5 Any tyres Most cars will do 13 or 14 laps on full power, so be aware, pitting or fuel saving may make or break your race. Race 2 and 3 TBC
  21. As for coffee drinkers in a car, don't get me started 😅
  22. Plus, I mentally associate coffee drinkers with angry people 😂
  23. Tea in leaves in a pot, with a tea strainer, is the best tea. Tea bags have come a long way though so I'm not fussy. English breakfast, the blended variety, be it PG Tips, Yorkshire etc etc only. Earl Grey is poison. I worked in am RAF canteen on Saturdays when is was 14 and I'll never forget the smell of rancid coffee cups waiting to be washed. Tea don't stink at any stage...unless you are a ponce who likes to drink perfume. And back with coffee, if I wanted that kind of buzz, I'd just do a line of speed🤗
  24. Totally agree James, 30 minutes felt like 3 minutes
  25. Coffee stinks, hate the smell of it.
