UKAC Season 18 - Snetterton - Oct 5

[FullMetalGasket]

Yeah, I thought they were a good match
Only thing I think could be better is Bombhole, it may be the lack of G-forces but I could swear the hole is bigger in real life.

Tonnes of fun throwing cars through that at silly speed and letting the bottom of the dip suddenly stop your inexorable slide  towards the greenery

That was a good race, I had had a silly mistake on lap 2 or 3 and let Mark (Ekins) through - eventually re-passed but he more or less held on for ages until making a mistake of his own.

I went on to do a drive through near the end and came back out only a second or so in front, which gave us some good fun heading to the flag at the end


Back to classics next week and something we've never done before (I think) 

[Mark J]

yeah i agree, the bombhole didnt have enough of a depression in it. That dip and inside kerb usually allows you to catapult yourself out of that towards the last turn. But otherwise its a pretty good conversion of Snett.

Could be just bad timing but had no other internet issues for the rest of the evening, so wonder if it was something this track or AC lobby front end was causing.  Did take me about 15-20 mins to get the internet back up and running after the second disco.

Doh, missed this race was coming or I would have given it a go, always liked that lotus...

havn't raced since the start of May and I either need to get back into it or sell the game rig 

[FullMetalGasket]

Make sure you're here next week then Max. I'll try and get the post up tonight but that will be dog-dependant.
There will definitely be some power>grip for that one

Only managed two laps last week due to not able to toe and heel using manual shifter. Last night lasted the race finishing in my usual last position. Been six months since had knee replaced, not been a success, so further surgery happening the twenty fourth of this month. To continue racing the classics any objections to me using automatic gears if needed?

Obviously everyone will understand that Bob. You'll have much less fun, but you will be with us, and this is what matters. Good luck for this new surgery try.

On a side note, when you will have recovered from this new surgery and can get back to simracing, maybe try to make some "left-toe & right-toe" instead of proper "heel & toe" in order to better save your knee ?

I have no problem whatever Bob - I'm sure you'll agree it's not really an advantage Vs a H-pattern and Heel+Toe
I might need reminding though when you rejoin us - I'm fairly certain the server doesn't have that set as default (It might be worth your checking to see if semi-automatic/sequential can be used even on the H-pattern cars as auto will likely be awful!)

[spanner]

I've never used a h-shifter, Ive always used paddles with auto-clutch so the server doesnt limit you on that, but i think it does limit the use of automatic gearbox so will need to change the server.

I would question if just using sequential/ auto clutch wouldnt be better than just using an auto box.

[Bob]

Don't mean to cause server problems so if h shifter proves to aggravate my knee more will go paddles and auto clutch.

[FullMetalGasket]

From memory it's a tick box - It's my memory that takes the effort

[FullMetalGasket]

Results uploaded.

Further to the auto gears question - I don't see a tick box for that on the server now I've looked, so I think it'll allow what ever you set it too (I know that when testing stuff without CSP using my media PC that drives fine Via an Xbox pad - so you should be fine Bob)
