I will do that tommorow, it's a pain doing it from home
Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) Race Room NSU Cup - Falkenberg - Jan 30 Post by: Chunky on January 30, 2020, 09:18:16 PM +0000 that was very exciting first part of the race luckily I checked the race time and saw it was 30min and thought nothing of it otherwise i would have warned the others thinking it was the norm! very tricky in these cars because you make a mistake and you are 4 seconds behind and it takes ages to catch up again when the top 3 are as fast as each other good racing and shame the server wasn't set right for the second race was looking forward to another close battle! still cant be helped.

Sorry for the contact at T1 John, when you lost touch slightly with me and Geoff. Don't think my fault, but apologies if so. You got me back when I half-rolled it, and then of course I didn't notice the longer race length and ran out of fuel..
Still fun. Congrats podium. Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) Race Room NSU Cup - Falkenberg - Jan 30 Post by: BillThomas on January 31, 2020, 05:14:09 AM +0000 Missed race time changed from 2 times 20 minutes, checked on iPad and the calling notices showed no change! I therefore assumed that’s what we would do. I think Geoff stopped for a fuel top up as I saw him leaving the pits. I ran out of fuel with about 3:45 minutes left. Other than that I had an enjoyable night with PB in qualifying but too many unforced errors in the race. ::)
Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) Race Room NSU Cup - Falkenberg - Jan 30 Post by: picnic on January 31, 2020, 08:28:29 AM +0000 I too never noticed we were not doing the 2x20 min race. Spotted the issue about half way through so ended up driving really slowly to make the fuel last. Did a great job as it started spluttering just as I crossed the finish line.
Don't know if it's me of the game updates but I was almost a second of my PB here last night which meant I was never really able to battle with the 3 front runners :( Well done to all those who turned up. Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) Race Room NSU Cup - Falkenberg - Jan 30 Post by: Geoffers on January 31, 2020, 09:38:28 AM +0000 Like everyone but John, I too missed that the race time was set to 30mins & not the advertised 20mins, so only had enough fuel for the shorter distance. Only realised when after driving for around 10mins the clock still showed 19mins plus to go. So just kept driving until the car started to splutter, which luckily was approaching the final turn, so headed for the pits. As I hadn't set up any pitstop presets I thought it was race over, but when I stopped at my pit the car was refuelled so was able to rejoin & finish the race.
Congrats to John on the win & Pete in 3rd. :clap: :clap: Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) Race Room NSU Cup - Falkenberg - Jan 30 Post by: phspok on January 31, 2020, 11:00:23 AM +0000 Sorry for the monumental screw up. Something happened at work, and I completely forgot it was race night
never mind changing the server from the default :hang: I seem to be getting more absent minded lately, would anyone like to take over this role? I will help as much as I can. Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) Race Room NSU Cup - Falkenberg - Jan 30 Post by: BillThomas on January 31, 2020, 01:24:02 PM +0000 I didn’t try a pit stop as I made some changes a long time ago and I didn’t know how I left it. ??? A quick look at a pit stop and it is “Simples”, once I realised it was automated and the 4 direction arrows made the selections! 8)
