Season 22 - Porsche Super Cup
Race 8, Diamante


It's a choice track Bro, this Diamante. Not real, but a ripper all the same for the wee Porsches. And afterwards, maybe some fush and chups. Yes, you may have guessed we journey to the Land of the Long White Cloud...commonly called New Zealand


Please check the Season 22 pages for details (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=335&theme=6) regarding rules and the Porsche Super Cup (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=342&theme=6) pages in particular.

Ciao

Thank you Fulvio.....

Blast - had to pick the girls up at 9pm so I started the servers early and rushed home to get back for...

9:33pm :(

 ::) quallifying was thrilling enough , with a driver chrash me out and saying `your welcome `..

well race ended in first lap , as I know Geoff is a gentleman driver I think it was mainly warp contact .
My client  replay shows me slightly in front ,holding the very inner line, 1inch to curbs without any drifting to the right

Trade 'em in for boys.....girls are too much trouble...LOL

 :o

Blimey!
I assure you that it's really frustrating to see a few minutes away from the image planted in 1 ° curve! To think that he has become at last time!
After several failures due in part to 'inexperience and the distance from the online game, I missed this: (
Now you're running and I'm here like an idiot in front of the computer in disbelief!
dovvero I hope it was a good race, the track is fun for my taste!

Take this opportunity to thank everyone for the fun it also gives me participate in this wonderful championship and compete with you fans and great pilots!

Hello
We look at Salzburgring

Very small grid for server 2.  Only 7 starters (I think).  Anyway quite pleased to qualify 4th and, apart from a little tussle with Pedro when he dropped back after he made a small mistake, that was where I finished. 

I tried my best not to get lapped but with just 3 laps to go Alex passed me.  Ron was next up and although he would have struggled to catch Alex he was pretty close so I didn't want to spoil his chances of challenging Alex.  I was so busy trying to make sure I didn't hold Ron up I ran wide on the tight left hander after the long back straight and got caught up in the catch fencing.  Race over.  Pity but I should still keep hold of my 4th place because the guys behind me had already dropped out.

Hope we get a few more drivers for the next round.

Blistering pace from Alex - again!!!

It is a shame so few turned out for this one - too close to Easter maybe. I think maybe everyone needs a break.

Replays and analysis in the usual places.

I was in bed asleep by 9:33! Ive had a very busy week at work ( done about 50 hours or so... ) so am just too worn out for this!

Well that was an interesting Friday race. Screen freeze during qualifying, flying start, some good racing with Axl and Bob before they sped off into the distance, some luck and a podium finish. Sorry to see you go out so early Geoff, your clearly having no luck at the moment.

If I can suggest you something, I would prefer to have only one server instead to split so few participants on 2 servers and in any case the final result now is conditioned by the fortune to be in one server or in another one. It should be easy to have a pre-qualify the day before the official race on 2 servers depending on the number of participants and having only 30 mins of practice time. The 2 servers qualification report should be mixed together to extract the 19 best lap times that will race the official event on Friday and the remainders, if you want, should race on the 2nd server for position from 20th on. Then the day of the official event should be like now that means, qualify and race. In case 2 drivers should have the same lap time good for qualification, then the second best lap time should be taken in count to be qualified for the official race event or in alternative, who made that lap time having completed lesser laps before or both things.

This thing should avoid to have 2 servers both half filled and/or strong drivers that have a simple task to accomplish avoiding also the randomization of Server/Teams assignments that often is not balanced ;)
I've achieved 21 points with only 3 laps completed, that is a non sense. Some further things could be, to achieve points it should be better to force any driver to accomplish at least 75% of the race laps. The drivers too much aggressive could be penalized starting from the end of the grid the next race event avoiding them the paticipation to the qualify or in extreme cases avoiding them the participation to the next race at all.

We actually have too much drivers disappearing, this is the main thing to think about.

NO!!!!!!

However Sergio raises some very interesting points. We really do need a mid season review, have I missed it???? I edited an earlier post to remove some comments I made about the race and the series in general and how it is not working for me. For the record Sergio, in my opinion, the initiation of the fun and games at the start of lap 5 were completely not your fault but the result of some very suspect driving by another party, you were robbed.

It seems that I missed the potential chance to pick up a few "easy" points lol  ::)

But, my daughter decided to spring a surprise weekend visit upon us on Friday evening, so I was obliged to enjoy a meal with the family instead of racing.

Tough luck Clive, kids eh....!

Thanks for the well wishes on igor chat, I had some issues and had to quit and rejoin a number of times, hence my lack of acknowledgement at the time.

As regards easy points...well there were only 4 of us running at the end on server 1 and Fulvio was a few laps down limping along with a very sick Porsche.

Due my issues of GEM not remembering my choice of rasterizer, I didn't join in time to set a qual time, hence started dead last.  After a very tentative few corners I weaved my way through a bit of wreckage and began the chase.  After overtaking a few cars I found myself behind Axel.  Given that I'd caught him I thought I was a bit quicker, but even in the slipstream found it tough to make headway on the straights and after running quite close for a while I had to brake mid corner to avoid contact with him and promptly spun.  This happened again a few laps later, then on catching him a 3rd time we made contact as Axel lost it mid corner, sending me off into the gravel.  On catching him a 4th time I made my move quickly and luckily it stuck.  Unfortunately after at one stage being only a second or two in front, Roberto was now long gone, hence I settled for 2nd  I found this place a bit tricky to overtake on, wherever I was faster I generally couldn't challenge for position.  Liked the circuit though, esp the first sequence of corners.

Bob.

It's about time you acquaint your daughter to what takes priority when you have duties to attend to in HER name.  ;) Although I'm not sure everyone is capable of understanding...  ::)

Congratulations To Roberto at Server 1e
and my Teammate Alex at 2e server, well done!!

What a fun track to drive :)
To bad there were only 6 racers :(
Very happy with 3e place.
Was fun battling you Phil, thx for the clean racing!

Thanks to the organisation, and CU at Salzburgring 76.
Greetings Pedro.

I forgot all about this race, sorry I missed another one.

The problem I have is that Friday isn't good for me and the GT mod can be a little too much for my PC. I don't think I'll be driving GT or Porsches next season.

About incident reports
Sorry Geoff but what are the final decisions for incidents at Spa and Diamante ?
Thanks.

We are still working on those Sergio. Haven't forgotten.

By the weekend mate. Easter has got in the way a bit.

 ;)

Guys, I was looking for a race presentation page for Salzburgring but...it is still not clear when it will be raced !

Next 27th April, Sergio over the mouse on the Forthcoming on top right or look at the Calendar.
Ciao

Si Fulvio l'ho visto proprio stamani! Grazie.

RGR Fulvio I've just seen this morning! Thanks.

Must apologise - haven't got to this yet.

I'll try and do this tomorrow but I have a horrible virus that is making me feel VERY ill.

Roberto is guilty here of not leaving enough racing room for Sergio. Breach of etiquette perhaps but enough for a penalty?  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

subtle change to: "but is it enough for a penalty?"

If anyone wants a more detailed explanation of why this was a Racing Incident, let me know!

Maybe we should have to see the incident as a loss of chances to complete the race or, at least, to have a good placement and on the other side, who made the incident won, so we cannot absolutely say there was no consequences for the drivers involved.

P.S.: I'm really thinking to switch to Rally races, at least I'm already out of the asphalt there and...maybe if anyone will hit me, I should get on track and finally complete a race over there instead to finish every race upon a tree or upside down or hung for the balls on a fence !!!!! ::) :P I don't know if in English it sounds like in Italian but...I hope it does.  ;)

Sadly, such inventive driving invites penalty points,at Ukgpl.

Just don't hit anyone when you do go rallying Clouds then you won't get penalised...

As your name isn't Martin we are not out to get you. [That is a joke in case anyone isn't certain]

Shut up!!! Martin could be around and hear you as well!!!  :angel: ;D

As luck would have it, I'm not the paranoid type. :D
