It was cheeky over take, but I thought since its one of the slowest corners it was the safest option. As you said you did have the time to defend, so thanks for that letting me goBack on track i got pressure form Hardie in his MCL
Awesome stuff fella! Great to see you back on the grid@SwannyUK I'm back!
My work schedule has had a bit of a change so now I have time to race for the final two rounds, can't wait!
It's been too long since I have been on my rig so I'll have to get some practice in before this weeks race, don't expect much in the way of pace.
Great pace dude, looking forward to racing with you again.Hi all, first post joined the league couple of races in, thanks all for the awesome racing so far really enjoyed zandvort had some good racing, absaloutley bottled my stop on that round and ended up out of the top ten,
misano was set to be a good race putting it on pole, lost alot of time in the later part of my first stint and Harry had me with an awesome switch back at the hairpin, and then a stupid speeding in pitlane pen (completely my fault) saw me with a drive through and then frustration and anger got the best of me for the dq.
Spa was mediocre my first transition race and actually ended up with a better car for the second stint enjoyed that.
And brands finally was awesome fun qualy saw me p3, just couldn't hook up an ideal lap, race start was good had the better line through paddock and druids on p2 and managed to secure the spot out of druids and then tried my hardest to keep on the back of Chris which proved to be a hardship, and then a few silly mistakes on my part saw me loose whatever gap I created and had a nice bit of defending to do with the McLaren. Pit was not ideal but not the worst I've had found me p3 and was having an awesome bout of racing with the Audi until his game crashed.
Thanks all for the Racing so far look forward to nurburg
Great little report. I tried the AMG a few times and just couldn't get it to feel stable so gave up too.My little race report from Brands Hatch:
My PB was similar to Chris' pole time, but I somehow really struggled. The issue was probably sitting in front of the wheel, lol.
Front left was getting too hot, psi didn't seem right out of nowhere etc.
My trust into my pace was a bit gone for the race...
I jumped 2 places at the start and enjoyed being in 3rd but for whatever reason I spun at the exit of Sheene's, looking at the replay I somehow touched the grass... Luckily no damage done but tyres were cooked and I had to let 5 cars through before rejoining.
After that I don't think I nailed a single apex at all for the rest of the race. I had to be careful but I really can't drive Brands Hatch carefully. It's full on via gut feeling or I'm slow and insecure.
The pit stop was good though and I then had a great fight with Aziz Omar, Magnus Dahlgren and Andre Nascentes!
Omar was at my tail and Andre was a bit in front. We closed in on him and I let Omar through since fighting in front and at the back of my car was too much for my insecure driving.
Omar needed quite a lot of laps to finally get through and I was still at his rear and got past too.
Omar slowly crawled away from my though and I saw a new car in my mirrors:
Magnus!
He really found some pace towards the end of the race and closed in on my pretty fast!
I made a small mistake and he got through.
I also had this weird, random understeer under braking. Doing some test laps again, I saw that the front left core was getting a bit hot due to the brake ducts being too much closed.
Opening it one click and adjusting the PSI felt better.
Lesson learnt!
Before heading to the Nurburgring, where after 5 years of racing it every few months, I'm still super slow.
So I took the new BMW M4 GT3 for a spin at Brands' and put in a 1:23.895.
At least leaving this track with a good feeling
Although I love the sound of the AMG and it's fun to drive, it seems to be a bit too easily unsettled over kerbs for my skill level.. So changing to the BMW M4 for now.
If this club continues to have enough drivers and good racing, I'll definitely get it, yepP.S - is everyone getting the USA DLC? Once this series finishes I'm hoping to run some single events on the new tracks.
Hope so! Numbers usually drop during summer due to hot weather and holidays but we usually have a race of some sort up each week. I'll be giving rfactor 2 ago as it was massively discounted in steam. Also might see if there is any interest in a dirt rally competition.If this club continues to have enough drivers and good racing, I'll definitely get it, yep
Confirmed - from Memory the Porsche didn't even like me looking at some of those kerbs.I think mistake as you get murdered on some kerbs as I have found out
