AC Multiclass Abarth 500/Mazda MX5@Luccaring, Wednesday 25th May 2022

[HF2000]

Because the Seattle track has no pitstopfacilities we're switching to the Luccaring.

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

Another FWD vs RWD clash this week but now in a multiclass format. The F1 goes to the famous Monaco city track but because that circuit is not available on S.GP we're going to an other city track: the beautiful Luccaring in Tuscany, Italy.

It's a multiclass and for some more excitement and action we bend the rules a bit: BLUE FLAGS CAN BE IGNORED IF THE LAPPING CAR IS FROM A DIFFERENT CLASS!

A change from last week is that tyre wear and fuel usage will be 100%. That means that the Abarths will need at least one pitstop.

So join us for another exciting race and:

PRACTICE SERVER IS UP!

Hi Han

I might be able to get some time off for good behavior and race on Wednesday but noted that the Abarths will need a pitstop.

When we ran the Minis here we found that there was no pitstop available and that it was quicker to go through the pitlane. I have just tried the practice server and no pitstop showing.

Also I have no idea what Carsten is on about, these being "CWS***Boxes", wheels in line at all times!

Thanks Paul! I guess I will switch to the Luccaring then.

ooof, Luccaring? I tried it once and could not come to terms with it.

Abarth's with pitstops seems fun and I wonder if I will need 2 given how nicely I treat those tyres

In anyway, I'm not signing up yet because I'll be having a freshly adopted rescued dog running around my small appartment arriving in a couple of days and I'm not sure if I'll be able to practice much or even join the race.

Best of luck with your new house guest, may he/she become a member of the family soon.

Actually thats a past time of mine, I have a spare set of (rear) wheels for that

The big diference that I initiate the drift on purpose and at the time am not surrrounded by other position craving rotters.

Also thanks to Bono Wright the "crabwalking shitbox" has been domesticated to the "tyredevouring" shitbox.

Let´s research how that plays out on Lucca Ring

MFG Carsten

Edith: and never forget the "bumpstop hopping shitbox" as easy to drive as Ernies setup is, it feels wrong to crash the cars "shocks" over every bump as high as a coin, not to mention over the drempel

I've added some new tekst in the 1st post. BLUE FLAGS CAN BE IGNORED IF THE LAPPING CAR IS FROM A DIFFERENT CLASS!
I'm looking forward to see how you are going to pass me after my pitstop(s).

Considering my usual speed and position, does this mean that should I'll be lapped by an Abarth I can defend the position?

Does the phrase "thorshammered into the shadow realm" mean anything to you??

If you're in a Mazda, yes you can! If a guy in an Abarth with pitstops will lap you without pitstops, he's so freaking fast, overtaking won't be a problem.
But an Abarth that will unlap himself by overtaking you is quite possible.

When doing " race simulations" we should better not count on a cooperative AI .

Beware Tigger

Edith:
OH yeah, the infamous "jumping walls (TM)" are on it again

 

[AW939]

First time I've seen this track. I guess I will hug the walls a few times in qualifying. But getting the maximum out of every exit seems extremely crucial here

 

[Kek700]

Have we done mx5 cup here, it would be good to get an Alien time.
You never know, it may not be as hopeless as it first seems.

 

[maxilogan]

Is it just me or the server is offline? I can see all the Kunos ones but not the SGP RD

Sorry, it was me.. I had the "Missing" filter on CM activated, and had yet to install the track. Everything OK now

That is indeed the secret salsa...

Did some local laps (coz re-downloading Race Room ) and I improved my PB 1.4 sec. from our last race here... that was half a year ago? Had to scratch the car to improve some exits so if you see purple paint on the rails, that is NOT your apex...

 

[Kek700]

Interesting, not sure many will stay on the circuit for 45 min, I think the Abarth may not be that humbled by the Mazdas after all.
anyone got a Mazda time.
