AC FWD vs RWD@Monaco 1966, Wed 22nd May 2024

[stigs2cousin]

I concurre that the mod looks great and has stellar performance for so much infrastructure in the background.

I'm just to dumm to survive it, so I spare myself the frustration.

I know it's not Wednesday protocol, but a 2x25min race schedule would do a lot to mitigate the problem.
If you cock it up (or, even more probable, get ****ed up), there's always race two

My gripe is not this circuit, with the mx5 it was a reasonable drive, slow admittedly with me behind the wheel, no better or worse than most circuits. in fact I can see an argument that said it is better racing than Brands hatch.
I think those who drive the mx5 and are quick, then this circuit will be a great leveller, so from that point of view i can see an hour race being fine battle ground for everyone for a change.

Bailed out, done with it, couldn’t get my act together. So, drove straight to the Nords, hijacked someone’s M4 and had fun in the hills

I hope you guys enjoyed your race!

Thanks for hosting Paul, congrats to the podiums and respect to the finishers!

That was intense. Fun too, even though I didn't really race anyone today for more than a lap. I'm glad I took the Suzuki because I just couldn't get the Mazda around safely for more than 3 laps at a time. Mad respect to the Mazda and Abarth drivers. To all who drove around frustrated: consider taking the Suzuki when we come around here (or similar track) again. It helped me actually have a race instead of fighting a car.

I had a good qualification and a better than expected start. Allan, as usual, took off like a rocket and I set out to chase him. All the time I was trying to figure out how I would overtake him if I could get closer. I didn't have to think for long as Allan was chosen as sacrifice to the chicane. From then on the "only" thing I had to do was to keep Ernie behind me.

But my God, that guy is fast in the hornet's nest! Eventually he pitted, hoping for the undercut I'm assuming. I should've trusted my gut feeling and pit right after so he I would come out ahead, but I was stubborn and wanted to do a couple of fast laps. I had some bad luck having to avoid crashes and lost loads of time. When I came out of the pits, Ernie was already a couple of seconds in front and the rest is history. I think he was lapping an average of a second per lap faster than I was, so my strategy was trying to be consistent and hope for an incident or two. Congrats to you Ernie, absolutely deserved the win today. Also congratulations to Paul for the podium, making this the second all-Suzuki podium in a row. Sincerely hope that changes soon

Thanks Han and Paul for the race! Just choose a sane track for next week please. I want to get back into the Mazda

See y'all next time!

Hi guys,

Here a word from sunny Sardinia. I hope you all had fun tonight. Great to see Craig again although he picked a hard track for that. Congrats to the podium!

I'll be back on Monday and will set up the race for Wednesday. I like to stay in the Italian mood so I'm thinking of Autodromo Lago Maggiore. I think it was a download from GTPlanet if someone wants to practice before Monday. I use Breathe's list to find my tracks so you can find the link in there.

See you Wednesday on track.

Well done all and just picking up on what Ricardo said in his post, i’m surpised more drivers don’t give the Suzuki a try. Personally I find it the easiest car to drive fast and more importantly, consistently fast. Ok, it’s lacks top speed but I find you can race it without the fear that it is going to spit you off if you make a small error. As for the sound, you can change it easily in CM.

Maggiore is a fantastic track but I predict the Suzuki podium lock outs will come to an end but looking forward to that on none the less.

Could someone put the link for the track.
I would like to practice during the weekend even if I have to do it off line.
Nice race today, but very hard track, all my respect to the podium.

It looks like that is the Gran Turismo version.
gt_autodromo_lago_maggiore is the file you need.

That was a Suzuki track, that’s for sure.
Great racing with everyone, two races in a row when everything was in the Suzuki’s favour and also aided by the racing gods.



It will not last, but good while it does.

Gents,

Apologies for getting in the way - I bailed out early as I realised I was going to ruin others races.

Hopefully next week will be a little more at my skill level!

You did well to keep out of the way Paul, it isn't easy around Monaco for the experienced guys so thanks for your considerate driving. But getting in there and having a go will bring more experience for you and you can take the learnings onto the next race. Well done for having a go.

It is an important part of racing @BaldPaul
I, when caught, make it a part of racing.
Thinking where to make it easy for the overtaker.
In fact it quite often makes my race more interesting.
I know you know all this, but like most things it takes a bit of practice.
I also make sure that the overtaker is not being followed. If he is,I stay well out of the way for those fighting in that battle. If it is just one car with a biggish gap I take it more easily.
That means if you are racing someone you do not need to be so urgent in your response. So for me that would be wide at a 180 deg corner or lift on the straight and try and get a tow.
This is were it gets difficult!!! When the driver following you takes advantage of the blue flag car :-/ I just cease racing when we are both caught by a blue flag.
But I think I am generally alone on that one.
