• Euro Trip--Day 2: April 11, 2013

[Wolfpack987]

Badass run Agent in the first stint. Too bad you hit the wall. The four in the chase pack - me, macek, cip, and dawson - had a amazing run in the first stint. Not much in the way of passing, but tight running as macek mentioned. Rick broke from the second pack and caught us after a few laps. That shook things up a bit going into the first set of stops. Dawson, I never saw what happened, but guess your luck ran out.

I was the only one running the Jaguar in this race.  My driving wasn't top notch, but I don't think being in that car was optimal.  I was hanging tight with everyone for the first "stint" of the race and didn't realize that I was burning up my tires a bit faster than planned.  In practice I had been easily able to go 10 laps on a set but in the race at the end of lap 9 my fronts were quite low and I lost a significant amount of time.  That was further compounded by the Jaguar being a gas hog.  I put in 70 liters of fuel during both pits stops, which further cost me some precious time.  Besides that, I only made a few small mistakes of putting 1-2 tires into the sand but nothing beyond that.  I believe I finished 50something seconds back from the leader?

The Jag will be back! hahaha.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Euro Trip Day 3 this coming Thursday, the 25th?  There's no thread for this race yet...info needed!


Also, looks like some server maintenance is going to take place Thursday, starting at 8:00 Greenwich Mean Time.

I "think" Day 3 is on May 2nth and Day 4 is May 23st, but given my memory can be as Swiss Cheesed as Sam Beckett after a Quantum Leap it's probably best that Rick confirms one way other another.  I did post a ToC for the 25st if it's Euro Trip night that can easily be bumped back a week if needed, though if Maintenance is going to get in the way anyway it might not be a bad thing if it is just a normal ToC run this week .

Feldynn is correct.  Day 3 is scheduled for May 2. 

[Wolfpack987]

Ah, good to know.

Could the schedule be posted somewhere easy to find?  Its true my eyesight is shit, but I checked the first page of every Euro Trip thread and didn't see a schedule anywhere.

[DudeTuna]

There's a calendar.

[RickS95]

Euro Trip--Day 3 will be held on May 2rd at Spa
Euro Trip--Day 4 will be held on May 23st at Sarthe

If guys still have vacation time left over and don't feel quite like heading back to North America, I'll check with Feldynn and the travel agents we have on staff and see if we can possibly hit Rome and/or Madrid and/or the Green Hell in all its longish glory before last call.

^Thanks Rick 

^^they're not on the calendar 

[RickS95]

Days 3 and 4 aren't on the calendar, as you note.  I don't typically put them on there til I make the post for the race.  I will post something today for each race, simply to get it on the calendar and then either edit or make subsequent posts with more information.

Thanks
