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

I really have never got on well with Bathurst. Do we have to use it ;)

Though the Audi didn't work too well at suzuka will see if i works here or not

Dont know what it is but that audi is rubbish cant learn on the front, understeer and the only way to get it to turn is to be on the throttle before the corner and rely on the weight out the back, kinda like the NSU :P If i stiffen the front up i getmore understeer... Hmm enjoy it in AC but surprised its so difffernet in R3E.

Tried a few laps in the Z3 which felt nicer to me. Am trying out a different camera view to try and make the walls look nearer and slow me down. Cockpit view isnt that great tho, dont get the same feeling from it as AC, less camera movement for my liking.

Is there an echo in here........


Ok, lol i get it, now i get it!!! Never done so many laps, its just a shame when it goes wrong..it goes wrong badly with the concrete barriers.

After doing most running in the Z4, i then went back to the Audi and got it working well apart from the slight wayward back end occasionally either into the second lefthander that starts the middle section, or into the final lefthander of the hill that leads onto the back straight!

Leaderboard wise it was a 2.06.9 in the Audi and a 2.07.5 in the BMW.

No practice here as yet but might have time later on. Bathurst always seems to lull me into a false sense of security and then when I'm pushing just that little bit harder through the top section it bites my ass! I'm just hoping I can avoid an early exit this time  ::)

I'll probably take the Z4 as it seems the most stable although I'm sure I'll be a sitting duck on Conrod.

That was great, thank you gents. Grats Tudor et al.

Another tense race with Eck keeping me on it to the end. The GT3 cars in Raceroom are such a blast to race especially at a track like Bathurst where the immersion factor is so good. Gripping stuff!

Wow, first real proper race attempt at Bathrust. Had got to half distance already but messed up the rythym on the top and hit the wall hard enough the kill the engine. Shame. Audi working well and felt better balanced than the bMW so had to go for it in the end. Was just starting to have to compensate for the understeer as well.
