Back to the UK and an historic circuit...Aintree. UKGPL has used this track for F2's before, but the 69x's will be a different and novel challenge around here. The long straight will favour the more powerful cars but the lights will be able to show their superior car control around the twisty sections to regain lost ground.......the final few corners could prove decisive . A single Shift R is allowed but no SnG is required. Race List = IGOR Server = TBA IP address =TBA Race date = 14-3-2014 Race time = Race 1 starts at 21:05 UK timeQualifying time = minimum 15 minutes, starting no later than 20:45 UK timeTrack = AintreeVariant = F2 (14 laps) and 69x (18 laps) Damage Model = INT Race length = see above Password: see above Replays Available here Heavies Lights F2's Free Choice Ferrara, Bt14 and Cooper 69x Free Choice Lot49, Lot 63, BT20, BT24, Cooper T86B, Eagle AAR101 Red zone will be to the exit of ..........Village

Well, maybe the free-chassis choice can help re-address the talent balance Couldn't quite match my previous best in the F2 lola; so maybe I should have taken that instead. Again, hadn't driven 69 round here until qually; but I find they are basically same as the F2 really. Admittedly, I could have done with putting race fuel in my lucky setup [not that it worked round Solitude!]; and as a result missed the flag; so started from the pitlane. I was probably unfortunate with the subsequent placing, because the server then placed me over the start-line in the pitlane. I think that is why I don't remember being lapped... otherwise, I think I'd have ended up in 5th as I finished between DR & GT, although I guess race distance was then a few yards short. ho hum. Still, was good to get fired-up when it was all to do from the start & following a couple of offs. There was even some close car-car racing too; all mostly good fun! Cheers chaps, Dave.

I would like to say that the F2 race was fun (thanks AC for the head's up re my car selection, keep forgetting that ****), but ridiculous warp/lag/stutter from either MJ or myself put me off my game enough that it I lost motivation. Yes, it's not MJ's fault, it's the fault of whomever happens to be in the way when he re-appears ( https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=12236.0). 69 race started ok, but engine didn't even last 1/2 lap. From there, trying to hard, bunch of small damages from here and there, and meh cyas next week.

Yes MJ was warping during the races.
It was two of my best Friday's races. Especially with 69X, I was second just after Axel during the first laps and was slowly closing the gap with his car ...until Evil join us and overtake me, the Mark did the same. By the way, it was two fun races !

Yes MJ was warping during the races.
Yes he does, due to a distance of 20 000 KM to the server + Deans 6 000 KM Who wants to set the limits? (IMO Bernies warping was unacceptable in the Kyalami AM race...) I have had my problems in other races too, but an online racer has to learn to handle it Watching Bernies race for verifying the lost laps took a while, but showed how the following Dave Curtis brilliantly managed to survive this hairy situation!!! My races F2s was a lucky win when Mark had a spin in the last turn 69X was exiting all the time. Being a little exhausted from the F2 race, it was way more challenging to keep the concentration up with a close following David and later the final battle with Clive gave me an extra dose of adrenaline
