Title: UKAC Season 16 Season 16 Formula Easter - Slovakia Ring - Jul 29 Post by: FullMetalGasket on July 23, 2020, 10:21:51 AM +0100 Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R;group=1091)
Welcome to the 6th round of the Srou Formula Easter Championship. We are visiting Slovakia this round on the UCS layout of Slovakiaring. This is a big modern circuit with some fantastic corners and passing opportunities, so hopefully we'll have a big grid to fight amongst. Following from last round the reverse grid will remain with only the top 6 being switched, as we had a very clean looking race last time out. ** Image to follow when Postimg stops mucking me around ** Password: see above (#post_event_password) ALL TIMES ARE BST Practice: 19:30 (45 mins) Qual: 20:15 (15 mins) Race: 20:30 (2x 20 mins - 2nd race is reversed grid for the top 6 finishers) (20mins plus 1 lap each race) Complete car pack download can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ink98yqcz20i7ca/Srou%20Formula%20Easter%20cars.rar?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ink98yqcz20i7ca/Srou%20Formula%20Easter%20cars.rar?dl=0) If you extract the RAR into your Assetto Corsa directory and let it overwrite, then everything should end up in the right place :) The following cars are available - note that the Estonia 21 will be an older version of the Mod (V1.0.3), this is because the current version - while more accurate to real life - is heavily under powered compared to the rest of the field.

I was wandering how I ended up 4th on the grid for second race :).

Title: Re: UKAC Season 16 Season 16 Formula Easter - Slovakia Ring - Jul 29 Post by: Barone on July 29, 2020, 09:47:12 PM +0100 Quali was quite good considering the poor practice I had on this track.
Race 1 was really fun. I had a great battle with Jari. I think he was a bit faster on fast sections but I had greater speed on the straight, so I managed to stay in front until after the fast right I saw him going wide, a pity, it was great fun. race 2 was the opposite. I had one incident with Kimi in the first lap. I rejoined last and with quite a lot of damage on the front wing that cause me quite of understeer. I tried to join the pack again pushing at the maximum. At the end I got another incident with SRW. I will report race 2. I don't blame anyone, let's be clear. I just want to listen a third opinion about it. Title: Re: UKAC Season 16 Season 16 Formula Easter - Slovakia Ring - Jul 29 Post by: Mark J on July 29, 2020, 10:07:07 PM +0100 Hate doing it but turned up with zero laps practise for this track due to a work return and two ACC events in last 4 days. So had to learn it fast which isn’t so tough with this track but you only learn the faster tricks with more and more laps. Probably why I started with a 1:37 and ended up with 1.29.6 :phone:
Race 1 was a titanic battle with Kimi for 6th the whole race. Great fun but I had a tad too much wing and 2 extra laps fuel :wetfish: so finished 6th Race 2 had some good scraps early on including a fast Fabri trying to get past. But once he did I was left trailing the front pack in 5th by a few secs and with a big gap to the rest. Finished 5th :) Good fun, just It’s a real shame the numbers dropped right off for this series as this track deserved a good grid. :( Title: Re: UKAC Season 16 Season 16 Formula Easter - Slovakia Ring - Jul 29 Post by: Syd Drake on July 29, 2020, 11:02:23 PM +0100 Race 1
I qualified 3rd, but Tim outbraked me for T1 and I was 4th. For most of the race, that seem to be it for me. I could stay close to Tim, but had no chance to fight. Midway through made a small mistake, so I lost the slipstream and was hanging 2-3 seconds back. Unitl with I think 3 laps to go when Tim and I did a bit oh synchronized spinning. I got out of it a bit better, so I was third now, but I think Tim was running lower wings, so he managed to slisptream by me going into t1 on the last lap. I couldn't get him back and finished 4th. Race 2 I was 3rd on the start and kept through T1. Barone was in the lead and Kimi was second. At the end of the laps there was some contact between the cars in front, Barone went off the track, and Kimi I guess slowed down to wait for him, so I was in the lead. I kept the lead for about half a race, but soon Kai was on me, and after about a lap of very close fighting, he got a good run on me out of the last turn and got by me. Tim was right behind, and I knew I had to keep in Kais slipstream if I wanted to stay ahead. I could also see on the time sheets that Barone cleared Mark and was closing in on us. With something like 3 laps to go I had a moment going through t1-t2 section which meant I lost contact with Kai and the battle was on with Tim. He was all over the back of my car, and on the last lap managed to get by going into T1, but I stayed very close, and we were side by side going into t4, when Tim went a bit too wide, caught some dirt which lost him momentum, and both Fabri and myself were through. Fabri was showing his nose in my mirrors, but I knew I just had to keep it on the racing line, as it was all corners till the end, I stayed ahead to finish 2nd. Grats Kai on the double win, and Tim and Fabri on the podiums and great racing. I'll have videos from the races on a little later :). Title: Re: UKAC Season 16 Season 16 Formula Easter - Slovakia Ring - Jul 29 Post by: Syd Drake on July 30, 2020, 12:41:09 AM +0100 And here are the videos from the races:

Title: Re: UKAC Season 16 Season 16 Formula Easter - Slovakia Ring - Jul 29 Post by: Fabri Fibra on July 30, 2020, 08:23:53 PM +0100 Avia was great on this track.
For the race I preferred to use a more stable and conservative setup, this took out me a few tenths, because during training I was more in the sand than track :-) In race 1 I found that Kai was very fast, with a good pace. I leaded for some laps, trying to defend myself from him, but I lost the position and finished 2nd. Race 2: I had a long and nice battle with Mark, but this made me lose a bit of time from the leading group. During the last laps I managed to rejoin and grab the podium, taking advantage of a small mistake by Tim. In any case, good races and without catastrophic accidents. Too bad that some drivers have quit this season. Very good races, Kai and Syd! Title: Re: UKAC Season 16 Season 16 Formula Easter - Slovakia Ring - Jul 29 Post by: Barone on July 31, 2020, 06:13:45 PM +0100 I made the reports for race 2.
Again, I don't care about penality and I don't blame anyone of anything. I just would like for a 3rd party to watch and judge the events in order to discuss it. I'm making a little video about me and Jari battle on race 1. I won't be able to do the editing for a few days but I hope to be bale to show it next week. Title: Re: UKAC Season 16 Season 16 Formula Easter - Slovakia Ring - Jul 29 Post by: Syd Drake on July 31, 2020, 09:03:32 PM +0100 You can see some of that battle in the first video I posted above, between 4 and 6 minutes :)
