There are a couple of corners which are built for drifting 8) You are so fussy about your track Jim ::) Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room European GT Masters - Slovakia Ring - Feb 28 Post by: SRW on February 26, 2016, 01:03:33 PM +0000 Looking forward to this one. After bugging H@L for ages to include this track in our GTR2 series, when we finally raced there I missed it as I had problems getting on the server

Good fun either chasing or staying ahead with only a few seconds between us depending on how consistent we are!

Great Battles I'm glad, it was so much fun lots of side by side action. Very classic intense racing I enjoyed it! Nice to see where each car had a little weakness :). Overall I got Lucky! Great Fun!

It would of been dangerous if I had started without remembering what corner was coming up. I don't think I have ever had that happen since trying to learn the nordschleife
Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room European GT Masters - Slovakia Ring - Feb 28 Post by: goldtop on March 01, 2016, 06:34:17 PM +0000 After grabbing pole I then managed to choose the wrong gear at the end of the formation lap allowing John to power past. I decided to keep pace and see how things played out in pitstops but unfortunately I got too close to the back of the Ford mid corner and had to hit the brakes to avoid contact which resulted in me spinning.
Made more errors/spins through lack of concentration after that but biggest error was misjudging my fuel and having to pit again with a few minutes to go :wetfish: Should have made more of it because the Ruf felt very quick here, but grats to John on a great drive and well deserved win. Good to see a new driver on the grid and hope you'll join us again Oscar :thumbup1: Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room European GT Masters - Slovakia Ring - Feb 28 Post by: Chunky on March 02, 2016, 02:15:00 PM +0000 well that was close ;) very close!!
thanks Goldtop and I did wonder what happened at the start :). you did manage to keep me on my toes the whole race as you were much quicker than the Ford , and I do feel if you had kept the lead at the start it would have been a different story as I don't think I could have kept pace with you at all. Great battling with you bud and looking forward to the next encounter JP Title: Re: RRE Season 3 (2016) Race Room European GT Masters - Slovakia Ring - Feb 28 Post by: oscark1292 on March 04, 2016, 04:00:37 PM +0000 Hi guys,
