Hi just wanted to ask what experience you´ve made with heel and toe driving (in combination with manual gearing on a shifter box) in terms of setup and lap times. Does it slow you down? Does it make a difference in setting up you car? Is there anyone driving as fast with paddles as with manual box?
Please share your experiences and opinions.

Just got mine today. Tried it out and so far 2 things I remarked was, a) that I could increase brake power in setup and put the brake bakance more to the rear and b) throttle and brake control became much more precise. For braking late: Yes maybe but not much, only thing is that it is much more easy to unlock a locked tyre or to prevent it in the first place.

P.S.: I´m not sure about this but it seems that Leo´s adapter also fixed my wheel calibration problems. To explain it in short terms. On longer stints my wheel started getting of the center to the right (even once it was 90 degrees off the center) , doesn´t seem to be happening now, but I still have to see if it will stay that way.

Arrg, hope he will restart shipping asap. Since I moved house I have a terrible sitting position and I have no way to fix the pedals. After short races of 30 minutes + my back is hurting like hell. I badly need such a thing.

Sounds like a one or two man business. I hope they´ll keep the original products in their catalogue, cause rinocockpit sounds already expensive.

Anyone got a reply yet? Found this product also very interesting (my racing pos right now kills my back and my pedals always slipping), wrote a mail but also waiting for a response.

I liked it. I´m even happy with the result, considering I had a 6 months break and no practice at all. It was even my first race I drove with the shifter box. I eventually misclutched some times but all in all it was a great experience. Fights where close and I had a great lot of fun in this one. Thanks for the racing.

Bah my race was horrible. DIdn´t had the time to practice and so I had no meaningfull set. While in qualifying I could have done a low 1:35 (if I hadn´t to fix some wheel problems), my race set was horrible. Oversteering a bit everywhere (even in the last sector before the start/finish straight), I had to fight the car in every corner. Unfortunatly GF and me ran together and we had to pit both to fix the damages. Later I got together with STB, sorry mate it was an unfortunate race incident, I knew you where there, well sorry. While the race progressed, my wheel got more and more off center until I had to give up completely (by then it reached almost 90 degrees of off-center to the right). Well I think I gotta fix it now or I´ll bye a new one.

The absolute shittyist grid ive ever raced with. Alan - Use your mirrors before you move over on a car.

What you mean. Our accident was an unfortunate one. I´ve oversteered a bit, and ran into you. I´m sorry it happened but that´s racing. Had nothing to do with mirrors caus you where beside me.

The server is called [DR] Server 1 . As Gentlefoot posted he will make the password available through the GF Forum. For the moment being there´s no pass set, so you can join to practice.

Yeah allright, I'm not amnesic, I remember that I'm a memebr of, ehm oh Jeez I forgot. Who am I? What am I doing here? Oh well never mind, cheers

I wish you best of luck with your team but I think the [DR] tag is already token: Dynamic Racing is using it for quite some while now.

I actually run short on practice right now. Got a lot of work on the SRDB now but I'm confident that I might start practice later this week.

Yeah sure,
I'll race the FOX once more

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Any chance of borrowing a DR server for a night mate?

Yeah I think that shouldn't be a problem

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Teleportation is already a reality it's just we can only do it with photons at the moment.

Yeah but the problem they're still fighting off is the one stated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. They can either locate a particle in space or its speed. Not both. (Before someone starts shooting at me: i know I wrote it rather simplistic)

I'm in for sure. As for tracks, some Aston Grand Touring/Historic or GP wouéd be my favourites (not performance-wise as these are the tracks I'm probably slowest but I like them).

Quote from SamH :

Attached is a 10-second animated loop showing a portion of information on two drivers. One who demonstrates good consistency and laptimes and the other who.. well.. doesn't. There is a lot more information on each driver than is shown here - this is just a montage screenshot of a portion of a page. I'm not saying who these drivers are. I just wanted to make the point that we can see lots of information at a glance, for each competitor in V1.. and we can dig far more deeply if we click on various places on the page that this is from, too

Lol the bad one could be me

Quote from Bawbag :

Ouch, seems I missed the Friday pre qual thing, the words I got from an admin on the server was the 2 weeks before was the "pre qual".... doh.

Good luck to anyone driving.

He he, I've also found out to late how the qualification would proceed. Well I've been busy lately and wouldn't have done well anyway. See us on a V1 server

Many thanks for the hard work

I've posted a provisional GFC/GTTC race entry list over at Gentlefoot.com (in the GFC prerace thread)

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I have to say I am disappointed that you chose not to let the GFC go out on a high note, with a final fairwell race.

It lies in our hands, the last race will be held, whether it's gonna be a high note or not depends how many people are gonna drive in it. Championships still are running, not every title is yet fixed, so I'm inviting all of those people that drove in the championships and also newbies to this final race.

BTW, if you wanna get in, could you write me a pm, so that I know with how many drivers we have to deal. Time and date will be the same.

Good I've just got the OK for the last race. We can use the DR server. I'm gonna post the details later this week, so keep on practicing

Quote from AMB :

Hey Aly if you can't use your server, you can probably use my team server we have two, i would have to ask of course but if your team servers are not available just pm me and I will get something sorted

Thanks, it's much appreciated
Gonna talk to my mates this afternoon, should know then if our is available that day.
