I’m not 100% I will make the race. I had me had something come and it will be touch and go whether I can make it back for the race. If possible can you keep me signed up? I might end up missing qualifying and just do the race
 
Helloooo !

Well it wasn't easy :rolleyes:
So my teammate John is a beginner and he wanted to test my sim setup on this race by my side :rolleyes:
Last week I trained and created a setup for myself which was way too much oversteery for him, so before the race, I tried to calm the rear a bit.

Big mistake, I took the first stint and wasn't able to take my turns like I used to, full throttle in Eau rouge was not possible anymore unless if I wanted a track cut. So ended up by lifting my foot off the throttle which at some point resulted in unsettling the car and crash into the wall...

After I made a few more mistakes, I started to be more used to the car but was a lot slower than I'm used to overall.

Then came John's stint and, let's say he had a lot of trouble between my wheel and the force cell pedals. A lot of spin, little crashes and also a bit tired and sweaty at the end :roflmao:

I hope it wasn't too inconvenient for everyone, sorry to Michael who has been confronted to John stuck in the middle of the track and went a little bit off the track.

In the end we had some fun, John knows he has to train a little bit more and I learned to not touch my setup ever ever again just before a race for any reasons :laugh:

Congrats to the podium, it looked like there were some good battles for the win !

See you next race :)

Spa is always a fantastic track to race, our yearly Endurance here makes it even more special.
Thanks to Michael for sticking with it and making it happen and our club drivers for taking part.

Great pace from the front runners as always, congratulations to our podiums.
My race was as expected really, can’t quite get below :22’s here, but did manage to better my best practice time.

I got my annual SG30 for speeding in pit lane EVEN AFTER practicing not to do it lol, longest pit lane ever with the shortest entry point lol, next year I’m nailing it.

One little tap of the wall which gave me around 8sec damage to fix on first stop, but the remaining plan went ok.

Really was disappointed to see Chris and Will retire as they had been so fast in practice and it was good to see them both here, maybe just maybe they will pair up for some Endurance at the Green Hell hehehe.

Well done everyone
See you soon

ps: Astons Rule :)

Hi John and Jordan, our races are useful to learn racing and we all are not error-free. So let’s take it easy, have a look at the replay and check how to improve next time. Maybe looking to the side (assign a button) and the map before releasing the brake. A good opportunity is the next race tomorrow at Monza. Take care in T1

Hello,

Sorry for mistakes. Too much new things to manage for a newbie...

Main point was not maybe the best idea to test really a fanatec setup for a endurance when I started to race on t300rs 3 months ago. I needed to change my shirt after.
Too much conditions was unknow. The duration, track state, car's setup,...etc

I need to train!

Sounds like you have driven with a torque of 25 Nm :) I‘m using 30% of 25 Nm, that’s enough for me. A good example for 25 Nm is this (don‘t do this at home):

 
Hi everyone!

Tough but fun race yesterday.
Qualifying was not great, and @SwannyUK can always pull one out of the bag.

At the start, I got a bit confused and thought we had a full formation lap, so added a couple more to the tank.
Great fight with Chris most of the stint all the way to the first pitstop, where they stopped.

A bit of a solo race from there, but still had a spin into the wall when I came up to traffic (my fault!), so I had a 1h stint in the end, after a 1 minute pitstop.

Happy with the win and with the pace consistency throughout the race.
Congrats to @akephoe and @Antonpiou on the podium

I think ….at this point…..you should just go ahead and change your last name to Patrese…hahahha , great form as always Ricardo.
 
Last night's race was pretty awesome. I was fairly consistent, always in the 2:20s or in 2:21s, even with 20 lap-old tyres. Normally my main strategy would be 3 50-minute stints, but I carried extra fuel on me for an alternative, more offensive finish. So I went with 50-60-35 strat and I think it worked pretty well.

Feels great sharing the podium with @akephoe and @RicardoJorge92, bringing home a Porsche 1-3. I honesty have no idea how I ended up 3rd, I was expecting at most 5th, but I guess people had moments. I loved the battles I was involved in.

Shoutout to @McFlunch for the nice battle at the start and @akephoe for the great defending. I could not keep up with you guys on the straights, as both the Beamer and Lexus are faster.
