This race will be a rolling start following a formation lap and the procedure is as follows:

*It will be the pole sitter's responsibility to complete the first lap at a pace that allows the rest of the grid to follow comfortably
*There should be no overtaking or hard accelerating/braking
*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*The pole sitter should maintain that speed until they cross the start line and then accelerate away to start the race (lap2)
*Each following driver should only accelerate when the driver directly ahead does (they do not have to wait until crossing the start line)
*No overtaking is allowed before crossing the start line at the completion of the formation lap

Ok, going with the Cougar C14-1. bit revvy and turboy, but the other one, though mid-engined was giving me too much understeer and actually didnt feel quick.

Hadn't done any practice for this so was surprised to take pole but was then under pressure all race from Eck. Our different cars seemed to have their strengths in different parts of the track which made things interesting as the gap fluctuated but ultimately Eck had better race pace. It came down to me being the more consistent, which was maybe down to car choice.

Or, a talent deficit... lol.

I was just hanging on. So much so, any time I got close, I'd make some sort of error. Thankfully, always at my own expense.

Reminded again, being fast isn't enough.

Grats sir, the best man won.

Bit lonely in third, struggling to concentrate. Noticed TT seems to be stuck 5 secs behind all race, but he fell off late on. Shame Apex decided to not brake into the first corner  ;D

where did your pace come from you two? that was pretty demoralising!


My setup for the other car last season was quite extreme, but really didn't do much from standard this time. I guess I need to play a bit more.

Feels like a really bad driving model for me, Spanner. Same corner, same speed, different braking distance; same corner, same speed, same entry point, sometimes understeer, sometimes oversteer... :(
I miss GTR2.
