RRE Season 4 (2017) Race Room 2013 WTCC - Indianapolis - Feb 23

Agree there is a slight disconnect with the fwd feel, I remember years back a GTR2 mod ( honda challenge ) that felt spot on. Still fun to balance these on the limit with throttle.  I tried a few setups mainly played with gearing, however default was more or less better for me.   Was surprised I squeezed through untangled at start of Race 2.  Enjoyed the little scrap with Tudor, was fun and constant pressure led to my slip turn3 toward the end.  Congrats for the win.

I like this 2 race reverse grid format and was looking forward to some dicing in race 2 as these cars are slow enough to make passing a challenge.  Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on which way you look at it) I had a great start and was surprised to find myself in the lead by T1.

Both races were were superb with very close racing between myself and Carl, both giving each other room when needed and without any contact which is hardly in the spirit of real touring cars but definitely the way we like to race here....great stuff 

Unfortunately because of a change of job/career I'll miss the next WTCC event and quite a few of our Thursday nights thereafter

Good luck with the new job GT, you'll be missed on Thursday nights. Hope you make more of them than you miss.

Thanks Pete, I at least know a long way in advance which Thursdays I'm working and having just checked my datesheet it actually doesn't look too bad.

Sorry i didnt turn up, I remembered i didnt really get on with it before and i was still depressed after wednesday nights AC race.

Good luck with the new Job GT!

Why were you depressed with the AC @ VIR? was a messy start, but didn't see much after that, except me falling off lots...

[spanner]

Mainly with myself! And how bad these cars are on cold tyres. You spend so long practising to do a quick lap that the first laps are like a whole different car and track and its difficult to get out of the mindset of a normal lap. Wasnt sure if the twiddly bits were still flat like they are normally, found out they werent so went off, tried to rejoin thinking people wouldnt be on the inside of the quick LH but got hit and sent into the barriers with damage. Didnt last the first lap. Going from happy to depressed in a short time drove me to quit out.
