this is such a cool track in these cars. No wonder they used to race the IROC series here  8)

It's a proven combo, so it was an easy steal for me :D

Don't know if I'll be able to be at home in time to do some practice before the race day. I'll be away until the 16 th in the evening, so there are more chance of a no show for me. If there are not too many people signed up for the race, please leave me on the entry list Jeff. I Can't promise I'll be there anyway :)
See you

There will be plenty of room, so I'll leave you on :).

I will not be able to attend to this race. Have fun guys  :)

Looks doubtful for me too, but I will try to be there.

Mmm. Me too as i have an appointment in the beginning of the evening. Will do my best to  be back before race start.

Hope you can make it.

During practice I crashed at every possible location, so I hope that's all behind me now and I can keep the sand out of the cockpit for the race.

Shame a few are missing on such a great track for these cars. I'll be there though not done a lap since early last week  :'(
More points for rest of us  ;) ;D

Don't stop,  I think I can dip into the 1:50's but I'm not sure I have an answer to your time for tonight!  ;D

Hi
just come back home, ready to join the race tonight!!

Alberto

Hi guys! I was far away from racing wheel last  week so i am not ready to race tonight. I hope you enjoy the race!  :)

I see how you made the time now, pity I keep falling off when I try it  ;D

 >:( Still away on hols, hope to be back in a couple of weeks or three. Have some good racing. 

Not sure what happened at start but I got dumped back in the pits and had to wait 20 seconds or so. Had a nice chase back but spun in the midfield section losing a couple of places. Got side by side with someone (still don't know how to put driver labels on) and thought I'd left enough space but a little touch which was enough to send me into the concrete barriers making the car undriveable. Fun while it lasted  :)

You probably jumped the start without knowing, and got put in the pits for being naughty.
I did the 1st few times I ran in AC. This is the only sim I know, where putting it in gear
with the clutch in and not moving, gives you a jump start.
AC starts are best done by leaving it in neutral, and put it in gear when the flag drops.

Server has for some time now been configured for a drive through if you jump the start so it shouldn't have been that.

I'm sadly losing the will to race these. I don't really have time to practice, unless I drop some of the other races I do here, and can't work out why sometimes a corner is fine and the next lap I'm off in the kitty litter without do anything much different. I quit as the leaders caught me up to lap me, last thing I need to do is ruin their races  :-[

what a series of disasters that was to ruin my nights racing at one of my fave combos  :'(

AC took 3 re-starts before I finally was up and running, first a blank central monitor then loss of steering wheel  ::)  Missed all of qually then to add insult to injury it took me straight to race grid with my low fuel qually set up  :taz: so I knew no matter where I ran I would have to stop during the race for fuel  :'(
Got stuck behind slower cars for first 10 minutes and had 2 accidents just trying to avoid hitting the rear of cars braking early in front of me (another reason I don't like this qually format).
When I cleared the cars in front I went 1.4 secs faster straighter away before sector3 ! and then took about 8 secs out of nsfw who was 20 secs up the road when I broke clear.
Stopped for fuel with 10mins to go, but would they put fuel in my car?....No!  :gun_bandana: so I had to quit to pit and wait 30 seconds to be allowed to re-join  ::)
did about 1 lap more and my steering wheel disconnected again....aaargh!!  Don't know if its this mod track or a flipping Microsoft update that's screwed me.

What a mess  :( gutted.

but that's not true, I do every race start with my clutch pedal pressed and in 1st gear, not had a jump start yet.  :hammer:

Nope, didn't even get that far. I hit the race button to join the grid about 15 seconds before the end of the countdown and was dumped straight back to the pits  ::) Probably for the best as I'm always nervous about spoiling someone's race in AC as I never feel in control of the car.

@Mark, yes it is very frustrating being behind slower cars, can often lead to the following car making mistakes as turn ins and braking points are harder to spot. All part of racing I suppose.

First of all: great track and car combo, the fast section at the beginning of each lap was great fun.

My qualifying went well with P4, I made up a position at the start but on lap 1 I heavily hit the wall on the last corner. After that I had serious suspension damage and the car was horrible to drive :(

I want to get the skins sorted. I tried to download the skin pack again and got a 404 error. Any ideas?

Still turned out a pretty interesting race. Sorta survival of the fittest  ;D

Got 3rd at quali, probably took it abit too easy. But better safe then sorry. I got off well at the start until my shifter decided to fall lose when I went to 2nd .... ::)  managed to switch gears, race and get the shifter back unto the table pretty well actaully  8)
I think I was 6th into the first corner and managed to get back to 3rd by some luck and a divebomb. After that it was fmg and me switching positions as we were making mistakes, top 3 laptimes were pretty much equal most of the time. I was going for a comfortable 2nd when I hit the wall on the last corner right before the last lap. With some suspension damage and all I had to give up the position to fmg in the end.

Still a pretty intense race in these things.

On to Poznan, which should also be a pretty good track for these cars I'm guessing.

Yeah, that was me. And the touch was my fault, not yours - I hadn't realised that you had got all the way alongside me, otherwise would not have moved out wider like that, sorry GT. Driver name toggle is Ctrl+L.

And sorry to Pete for getting in your way early on - I was actually trying to get OUT of your way..!

Otherwise a fun race, congrats podium.

Sorted, the link on the series page works, the one on this race page doesn't.

Hey Chris. You do realize that you owe me a new door panel for my classic 911 RSR now do you?

 :)

Yeh sorry about that, was trying to avoid someone in front who had a lousy start. It'll buff out anyway and adds to its racing pedigree.

Quick scan through lap 1 revealed nothing major  :thumbup2:

We will rectify that next race then.. :P

With the small amount of practice laps done so far by people, I'm afraid we'll see some come unprepared, so you might  not be far from the truth :p.

Off topic but all the dlc's for AC are in a 60% discount for 48 hours.

I've just had my go go ibn the Porsche here - It's like driving a different track!  ;D
I need to knock at least half a second off so far looking at Stracker.

I recommend practicing at Poznan and not Riverside  ;)

But I got a good finish at Riverside so decided I must have done something right!  :whistling:
