Title: Spec Race - Rouen - 3 Jan Post by: vosblod on December 26, 2009, 11:30:30 PM +0000 Due to unforeseen technical difficulties & lack of snow in France the Winter version of Rouen circuit is not available. Have therefore agreed a swap - Sunday drivers will now be at Rouen on 3rd Jan and there will be a fun race at Watkins Glen - complete with snow - on 5th January. (see separate post].
Spec challenge will be the same - BT11 v Ferrari. (65 Mod). Usual format - 2 x back to back races at the same track - use a different car in each race. Unlimited Shift R permitted. This is an unmoderated fun race but please drive responsibly. Would be great to get past the hairpin with all cars on track. Hope to see you there ...

Title: Re: Spec Race - Rouen - 3 Jan Post by: Billy Nobrakes on December 28, 2009, 12:13:48 AM +0000 Dont think this clashes with any Interleague fixture but suggest the usual Sunday Drivers start time of 9.15 UK time.

Title: Re: Spec Race - Rouen - 3 Jan Post by: Billy Nobrakes on January 02, 2010, 10:24:58 PM +0000 Thanks Nicky,
Usual distance for Sunday Drivers is about 20 - 25 minutes for each race. That should work out to about 9 laps at Rouen. ... Bill Title: Re: Spec Race - Rouen - 3 Jan Post by: il_lupo_mannaro on January 03, 2010, 12:26:19 PM +0000 I will be there tonight
Title: Re: Spec Race - Rouen - 3 Jan Post by: maddog on January 03, 2010, 06:07:43 PM +0000 Hi Bill,
In two warm up races at Rouen, we've rubbed wheels in both, which is little thanks for your organising these winter events. Your more consistant laps have put me both ahead and behind, and you do insist on driving fast when I'm trying to pass you! The fault is mine - being inexperienced online, I'm finding humans behave differently to ai on the track. So I offer an official apologee before the collective masses, and individually to clumps (could've worded that better) I may have clouted. If GEM+ conjours up a simulated hospital bed, and won't let me join this evenings race, I shaln't complain - it's usual when driving by brail. Martin. Title: Re: Spec Race - Rouen - 3 Jan Post by: norbert on January 03, 2010, 06:21:52 PM +0000 cu guys on track tonight.

Title: Re: Spec Race - Rouen - 3 Jan Post by: Billy Nobrakes on January 04, 2010, 03:51:01 PM +0000 Here are the results for the 4th Sunday Drivers meeting at Rouen.
First a big thanks to Nicky Ickx for providing the server. There was an excellent turnout and some good racing. In the pre-race post I asked for a careful start to make sure we all get through the hairpin on Lap 1 unscathed. That's exactly what we got but there was the mother of all piles ups just after the hairpin. It had a certain Wigan based driver spitting blood & pie. Never mind - it is a fun race. Victory in Race 1 went to John Roberts but his result is excluded from the Spec Challenge by not taking the Ferrari - that might just have cost him the double win. Race 2 was won by Vlad "the Monk" Vosblod. The Monk has vowed to give up booze and other wordly vices for a while to work on improving his GPL skills & that seems to be paying big dividends. In order to restore the natural order I am sending round a crate of brain death lager & a supply of filthy pron magazines. The podiums in races 1 & 2 were filled by Sam Blood, Clutch & John Roberts. Sam has duly been reported to the university authorities for neglecting his studies and spending too much time hot lapping. Comparing fastest laps in the BT11 and Ferrari - the Brabham won the challenge by a clear five seconds. (Aggregate times for all drivers completing half race distance). So far the red machines have lost every Spec Challenge. Next event on 17 January will be at Zeltweg, Austria with the Cooper taking on the Brabham BT7. Track can be downloaded from the usual track database. Hope to see you there ...
