I'm Soooooooo gutted..

I had 2 parts of the qually lap that I made a mistake on and quallified about 16th or somthing like that. Not good, but not to bad.

Good start and I made my way up to 11th and chasing down a very laggy Geoffrey Fournier in the BMW and on lap 3 I was a little way of him but hit a huge wall of lag and my car just make a crunch noise and then I had a big hit on my left hand side..

I've checked the replay and it was the lag.

I'm gutted.. BUT... I'll be back. It was great whilst it lasted.

Good to see some mod tracks back and the new system in place.

Well done RD.

 

[Glen Kabis]

Sorta fun race for me. Qualified 8th I think. Got punted wide on turn 1, lap 1 by Frankl Mate only to have him disconnect early, fell back to 23rd by the time I got back on track. Got held up by slower but consistent traffic and battled back to take 9th.

 

[Marco Boemi]

Nice race. Didn't know this version of the track and had no time to do practice so I learned it while qualifing and racing. Infact I had like 2 races separated by the pitstop. In the fist half I was blocked in the traffic and was lapping around 1:42 always also I've done some error. In the second half I was costantly on the low 1:40 with a PB of 1:39,9 that let me finish 11th.
The race duration (about 40/45 min.) is perfect only I don't like mandatory pitstop, please let us choose if and when to change tyres please

Thanks for the fun!

 

[Marco Boemi]

Jean-Pierre do you use default setup? Do you adjust tyres pressure at least?

 

[Philip Sprangers]

Wow,

That was a lot of fun. Fair and clean all the way, from my point of view. Great track, great company, thanks RD :woot:.

Grats Michael, and sorry for my slowlyness but I was running on :egg::egg::egg::egg: the last 5 laps because my tyres were completely gone. Had a flash of empathy with James May when you said I was 'slow' :facepalm:.

Cya all next time

 

[Michael Braeutigam]

nice racing here, guys very fair!!

my evening was pretty... mmh i dunno i didn't feel I was going fast due to a semi-perfect setup, but maybe the twitchy rear was just the right way to go fast. anyway i had to make the rear really twitchy to not get annoying understeering towards the end of the race. but that meant, with 60l of fuel on board, the beginning of the race was a bit messy. luckily I had a really good start and could make a break in the first lap, so I could be a bit more cautious. but it still caught me on the 3rd lap or so in old hairpin... a bit of lawnmower action and the race got underway once again but with the rest of the pack closer behind

but the plan (save front tires and kill rear tires with oversteer *g*) worked out perfectly in the end and I could win the race looking forward to the next one, racing on RD is really great fun!

 

[Jempy]

Jean-Pierre do you use default setup? Do you adjust tyres pressure at least?

No Marco, I never use default setup .... except at the start when creating mine using the 21 steps system and RD Setup Guide based on the preceding one.
And of course I adjust tyres pressure and camber too !

 

[Helder Filipe]

Qualify: got a good lap despite a few laps of practice at Donington, 5th it's ok
In the race start with 60L and think just change the tires, I did exactly what was expected, and with a clean driving from beginning to end without any major hiccups, which earned me a good, consistent pace and in the end a good result for me.
And the result of many laps on the track was that I could beat my qualifying lap in the race several times lol, during the first run I managed to keep a good distance for the first 2 that were with a very powerful pace, benefited from an error of Reggie to enter the pits in front of him about 4 seconds but soon after, I realized that I left behind him, and thought must have just changed the front tires, something that is impossible with the BMW, it has a pronounced wear of tires both front and rear.
So I thought now I have to win time on the track, and it happened, I was recovering very slowly and four laps to go was in the back of Reggie, he still resisted for four laps i only overtook in the last laps, and sorry for the touches, Reggie.
And that was my race, really fun from the start to finish, and a good fight between me and Reggie, thanks RD for good racing and special thanks for my mate on track, Reggie Blain =). Congrats to Michael he was untouchable tonight, and a word for my friend Peter Beres he could be the opponent that Michael did not tonight, but he had bad luck tonight...
Well, See you at the next race. THANKS ! ! !

 

[Rob Musgrove]

Ohhhh

 

[Günthar Rowe]

It's good for us in New Zealand, i.e 09:00 GMT is 9PM so R2 finishes around 11.10pm, Sydney will be practice at 7pm...

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Good race guys! Even though there were only four of us, R1 was a constant battle. My start was bad( almost jumped the start so i hung back )but after @ 5/6 laps i was able to catch up and keep pace. I'm actually happy that i had the same pace as everyone. Lots of battling for 2nd/3rd/ for most of R1 then my big mistake came on lap 12 when i overshot turn 9. R2 was not a good race for me, I clipped the left edge of turn 3 on lap 2 and damaged my car,limped back to pit for repair and hung in for rest of race to finish 3rd. congrats Glen for taking tonight's race.

 

[Ted Pratt]

Also my sincere thanks to all those people at RD who instigated this wonderful new format. It's great!

 

[Kevin Hopkins]

An hour earlier would be nice ,but i'm old and grumpy and need to get up at 5am the next morning.

This was my first RD "Forced Pitstop Race" and I must say it I rather enjoy racing like this, I prefer it. Just my pit stop I didnt know what i needed to do so I changed only the left hand tires which was the worst thing to do because my Front right was starting to wear off alot and with about 6 laps to go could not make the Left hand corners, "heavy under steer" Thanks again RD i keep on learning from race meeting to race meeting. Racing this friday again come guys join so that we have a full grid again

 

[Mark Gormley]

I have signed up, albeit with some trepidation; will this be an EU or Oceania server? If it's the latter will I be lag-ridden?

 

[Dennis Phelan]

I too was amazed that the four of us stayed close for so long. Great fun and terrific drives by Glen and Jimi, both coming up with extra speed at times!

 

[Marco Boemi]

Good, then there isn't anything I can suggest to you
