RD MINI Challenge 2016

praxtonio · May 1, 2016

Thx to the Staff of RD for this moments, i enjoy this race like a bear with honey, great moments and great decisions, 1 or 2 stops, finally I decided to make only 1, and just change the front tires and have little fuel, wwwuaauua, go 4º and 10 minutes left, I do not believe it.
Erhan finally pass me, but I got a very good 5th place.
My english its soo bad, but I was in the Ts and was very funny how little understood BILLABOOONG!!!! jajaja.

Thx so much.

Congratulations to the organizers - STAF
Congratulations to the winners - Podium
Congratulations to all that finisch, after 80 minutes of "work"
Congratulations to all who is present in this EXCELLENT - Race

Only a small "REPAIR", because it can not make happen... there cars with very LAG ... on the internet, ...these make or caused overtaking impossible ... and it was for this reason that the 1º was to be 2º, and the 2ºwas be 1º !!!!

Sea...to Londrina

What exactly is this recon lap? Like in WTCC where you have X minutes to leave the pits and get out on the grid?

I'll miss the "boring warmup session" though, that was the time for me to get into "race mode" by running a few laps with full tank and race setup (tyre pressures). It was a session with a very specific function, which might look boring in the stream but is rather useful for the drivers.

Bram Hengeveld · May 2, 2016

If people really like to keep the warmup session we are also fine with that of course. The recon however does add a lot to the immersion.

Exactly that.

alexSchmurtz · May 2, 2016

Recon lap will be new, we have to try before judging what is best… I guess we can still enter the pits and get new tyres before the formation lap start?
I started practicing (offline) last night and I can only agree: first corner can be funny with the Mini…

But it gets better after some trials!

Question regarding reserves @Bram, if I were to get a spot do I have to compete in all following races, or is this on race by race basis? Asking this as my reason for not signing up was that I couldn't guarantee to make all races. Wasn't worth risking premium for this.

Bram Hengeveld · May 2, 2016

We are indeed looking for a permanent addition to race all the remaining rounds of the MINI Challenge.

Bram Hengeveld · May 2, 2016

The first corner is really hard indeed. Great pic

race_fanatic_ · May 2, 2016

Not the best track for me, seems like in whatever car it's in the setup needed for this track doesn't fit my driving and liking. I know it's a bit ridiculous to talk setup not being to my liking when it's in the mini (

) but it definitely makes a difference!

kedy89 · May 2, 2016

Thought so. Thanks for the quick answer.

RustyDriver00 · May 3, 2016

I'd be happy to keep warm up, maybe a 7 minute warm up or something, tie in with the 3 minute recon?
