(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the rules about in-game chat messages. (3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another non pack track occasionally) (4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit. (5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface) Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

The outcome wasn't changed though, the right man still won.
Grats all. What happened with the slowdowns and the shortened post race timer?. Not that it affected my race, it was just a bit weird... Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Imola - Feb 8 Post by: phspok on February 08, 2018, 10:15:14 PM +0000 That was awesome ;D
So much more fun there with these cars there than the Ferraris were in AC recently. I struggled a bit when the tyres started to go off, and lost touch with Spanner, but got it together again towards the end. Stephen had changed a few of the settings for his last race, and I thought I had set them back, but the timer was short. I kept getting cut track slow downs, but they only lasted a second or less. Odd, but I didn't mind ::) Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Imola - Feb 8 Post by: frex on February 09, 2018, 12:15:09 AM +0000 Apologies to Pete - I got in front at the start, but then we made contact at the hairpin. You kindly waited, but actually I'm fairly sure I moved over on you in the braking zone (my attention was focussed on Eck ahead of me), so my fault I think - hence why I gave you the place back again. Without all of that kerfuffle you would probably have been fighting for the lead with the front two, so sorry for that.
Really fun cars to drive, but I didn't start to feel (sort of) comfortable until about half distance. That was awesome ;D So much more fun there with these cars there than the Ferraris were in AC recently. I enjoyed both, but yeah there's a lot more going on with these! Congrats John and Eck.

Without all of that kerfuffle you would probably have been fighting for the lead with the front two, so sorry for that. No I wouldn't, I proved that by letting you back passed by having a couple of silly moments. So no real harm done, but thanks for letting me through.Really fun cars to drive, but I didn't start to feel (sort of) comfortable until about half distance. Opposite for me, I guess because of my own ineptitude. I enjoyed the first bit especially as I never felt comfortable with you only a few seconds behind. Once I'd let you passed, and with the tyres seemingly having gone off but not yellow, I wasn't able to push so it was a boring drive around trying not to get caught out again until the end of the race. I felt more and more uncomfortable with the car the longer the race went :(Impressive pace and consistency by John and Eck 8) Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Imola - Feb 8 Post by: Chunky on February 09, 2018, 12:43:58 PM +0000 Love the Capri and great fun racing with you Erk very close, you seemed to have better pace than me in the race!
So easy to make a mistake in these things! consistency is so hard! little bit too much throttle and weerr haaay!! I can tell its going to be really hard at Soma to keep these from swapping ends, message to right foot "go easy"! :D JP Title: Re: RRE Season 5 (2018) Race Room Group 5 - Imola - Feb 8 Post by: phspok on February 09, 2018, 01:27:26 PM +0000 Mid Ohio is next. Sonoma is 3 weeks after that.
There will be 6 races in each of these 3 series, then "Something Else" I will try to add the last 2 events for Capri and NSU soonest. I am in the darkest south welsh valleys for the Mid Ohio race :( Bummer :sleep1: |
