AC Multiclass Audi TT/Mazda MX5 @Road Atlanta, Wednesday 4th August 2021

Good thing is not the "shorter" short track with 3 and a half turns plus mini-chicane.

I guess that would be "intense"

But you´re right, there is an even shorter version. (sorry never have been to Road Atlanta irl)

In with the Mazda again, getting as much track time in it as possible ahead of the Fat Alfie championship.

me too, but not sure if ill make it!

 

[Dzul]

After last night's practice i can imagine this race is going to feel like riding the rollercoaster in the bumper cars at the fair.

 

[Douglas Aird]

Limited practice so don't know if I am in contention for a podium this week. T1 and the chicane proving to be a big challenge for me.

For everyone, Douglas !

Guys,

17 participants now. That's great but it's going to get very intens on this short track. Do you prefer the full lay out (like the GT3 the following Sunday? For comparison: We did the short version of the RedBullRing (similar lap times) with 20 cars.

 

[Douglas Aird]

I'm OK with either. I have only practiced the short version so will be playing catchup, literally!

If it's going to be safer/better then I am OK with a switch.

 

[stigs2cousin]

I´m not certain that I will be home from work in time, so for safety reasons I retract my inscription.

Should I manage it and there´s still an open slot I´ll reinlist.

Have fun guys, Carsten

Carsten, you can't if don't register before the event starts so thus including the long practice session. It's better to stay registered so you can enter just before or during qually

Only if the grid is full then it's better to sign out to give another the spot.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Im all for the longer track,only bout 30 secs diff in the Mazda..

I'm fine with either layout. Like Doug, i've only practiced the short one and also agree that it would be "safer" to drive the full layout with that many cars on track.

 

[JamKart22]

Short track will be fun with all those cars. We get a lot no shows anyway so I'd be surprised if they all turn up

 

[Programmer_Rich]

I agree I think the short track will be fun even with a good turnout.

Yes i agree. Just let it happen!

 

[HF2000]

I did some laps tonight. I agree that it will be fun.
To me it gave a new meaning of 'hitting the apex' though!

 

[Kek700]

Longer laps create bigger gaps that become harder to close.

 

[JamKart22]

Did an AI race and recon the MX5 will get lapped about four times
Staying on the track will be a challenge

 

[Fiberoptix]

Longer laps create bigger gaps that become harder to close.

I agree keep it short, I can see the Mazdas being fast through the chicanes and surprising the audis who move on them there. I cannot see a consistent 40 laps here yet based on tonight's miserable showing so a crowded track is better for me

 

[Douglas Aird]

I'm up to speed on both layouts now. Equally bad on both.
