AC Honda S800@Donington1938, Tuesday 29nd March 2022

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

As a nice intermezzo between the intense classic Formula 1 events, we go back in time with a lovely oldtimer on a classic circuit.

The S800 is a Honda sports car and was introduced at the 1965 Tokyo Motor Show. With a redline of 9,500 rpm, it is one of the highest-revving production sports cars. The S800 competed with the Austin-Healey Sprite, MG Midget, Triumph Spitfire and Fiat 850 Spider, unfortunately not available as a mod on S.GP.

The 1938 layout of Donington Park feels completely different from the current one with a very long straight and narrow sector through a forest. This track is both challenging and relaxing.

Sounds like fun. Never driven that car, nor that track (only current Donington). Seems like a fun challenge!

 

[d@vicci]

Nice, I would like to register, can I have a password, please?

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

YES!!!!,another sexy,cheeky little car..Im IN,,

 

[cerebralvortex]

I'd like to join as well. I have some bad memories from that fast downhill part of the track but I'll get over it

 

[Dani Martinez(Chechum)]

Hi mates! I'll try to join you, but I can't know until Monday.
The event sounds very fun, I've driven this car for one race. I think it's a good opportunity to try driving with the clutch.
So far, I've driven with automatic clutch. Would I have to change anything in the settings regarding the clutch, besides configuring the clutch pedal and H-shifter?

Thanks in advance

Regaring clutch and pedal you might look at the assists you use like autoblip.

You did already a race with the Honda? I had it installed on S.GP a couple of weeks ago and up till now I didn't use it because of the classic F1 championship.

 

[abecede]

Ah yes, I love the track and the car! Didn't drive that combo yet, but on Tuesday I'll find out! ^^

 

[Mircea Stanca]

Could I please get the password to get a slot on simracing.gp? Appreciated!

Thank you, Han, I'll have a look.
Yes, I drove it in Highlands Short one year ago I think. If I recall correctly, one should watch out during the downshifts as the risk of spinning is quite high

 

[Denis Betty]

Hi Han. I have been meaning to ask about this car - she's a beaut IMO.
See you chaps on Tuesday.
WD Han, keep em coming.

Oh yes, it's perfekt to learn the Heel'n'Toe downshift.
(Which I'll never learn well enough to use it confidently in a race.)

So I just "blip" the downshifts and use the clutch just for starts and to (hopefully) catch slides.

Or you can cheat and use the Autoblip feature in the assists menu

Han mentions in the first post that the password is the same as for the weds races

Good Luck with that.

That works ( so la la ) on the straights, if you have steering angle the solid rear axle will kick your "seat"

[H_Belane]

I thougt: yeah...I know Donington of many games.
And then this! Great track

 

[Kek700]

Ramblings.....
My ping has improved, so moving east helped there, must be fewer people here using the internet.
my driving is the same.
All set up quicker than I expected.

 

[Denis Betty]

Does this include the car?

 

[stigs2cousin]

Ernie is right,
there are some mighty quick people on track

Note to self: MUST drive FASTER
