AC Multiclass Abarth500/Mazda MX5@Donington1938, Wed 21st September 2022

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

A couple of weeks ago we had a great race with the Honda S800 on this historical track. Because of the long straights it could be in favor of the Abarth this time although the Mazda can gain a lot in the forest section.

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!

IF THE KNOWN S.GP BUG APPEARS (all cars disappear when the lights go out), please don't do anything. The host will restart the session in a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME.

Interesting. I like Donington, can't remember if I have driven the Mazda around there...

 

[HF2000]

It's the historical version, Douglas.

@Kek700 And I think that we finally will get that rotter @Allan Ramsbottom here!
Btw: Ernie. I promise you that the car in the surprise event next Tuesday isn't the Skippy.

Yes, just realised that. I have not driven that version. Presumably it's low grip with fatal obstacles on corner exit.

Wow, I'd never have guessed that this track can be so much fun.

If T8 at Tor Poznan is anything to go by (bumps throwing offline), I'd guess this will be interesting for the Abarth - doesn't seem to like a rough surface ...desperately needs a 'ballet shoes' setting

Yeah, a real shame that the "bumphopping shitbox" doesn´t seem to work with a decent amount of suspension travel

Though, I also had to jack up the "Hairdressers Porsche" to a ride height "high as bus" to get it more stable.

And to save all of us some tears and swears, please practice overtaking in "the wiggly bits" by killing some AI´s.
The penalty for being forced offline is quite severe, especially in the offcamber lefthanders

This Tuesday I'm organizing a surprise event where the participants don't know the car or the track until the event starts.

Fulvio also suggested doing a surprise track with the Abarth/Mazda cars.
So no practice possible and only 1 lap for qualification.

Everyone who is in favor of this, like or love this post please!

Be afraid Alan, be very Afraid.
See you at Donington.

I have got around the bumps here at Donington with my latest setup.

I'm not worried.

The Abarth Bugger will be severely hindered by the fuel trailer he's towing

LMAO Carsten

Looks like we´re having a real Multiclass this Wednesday

Han finally found a track where his favorite shopping trolley can make use of its pathetic turbo 3cylinder.

A well, as CMR so rightfully said:

In other news:

Guys whatch the trackmap/radar when you exit the pits, your intruding into the racing line of the other cars
( The blue flags are an obvious hint though)

A well, as CMR so rightfully said:

Thank you for the compliment Carsten I too was surprised the shopping trolley was faster than the hair dresser's car through Hairpin, Mcleans' and Coppice

 

[eN1xes]

btw for the 1 who was thinkin the qualy impact on points is not . final verdict

 

[stigs2cousin]

Let's see what a real rotter can do with that.

As we all know Allan is 1,5 to 2 sec faster than me
