Me too  ;D

This track should suit better than The Chinese one, which was a bit power/brake/turn/ repeat...

Gave up tonight, having problems getting the car to stop. Same setup as at Suzuka, which worked well, but here rubbish. Car either wouldn't stop or locked the wheels, track must have less grip than Suzuka.

Anyway congrats to podium & all finishers. :thumbup2:

I have not been enjoying Raceroom for sometime now, especially on thursdays this was no different. Couldnt get the car working to my liking, was too slow and breaking the cardinal sin; no setup changes before the race! Just made the car worse.

Enjoyed the DeKon again, and with Pete and Riccardo battling eachother I was able to close a little on them. Then Pete spun, and Riccardo started to pull away. Didn't see much of the front two after that until the last couple of laps, when I suspect Gavino Bottas swapped places with Riccardo Hamilton for the extra championship points!

Good fun, congrats Riccardo and Gavino.

Sorry to hear that, anything we can do to help?

Gara difficile nei primi giri che ero dietro a Gavino e mi sono perso il punto di frenata alla variante alta , da li ho fatto una serie di errori perchè Pete mi pressava vicino poi mi sono calmato e ho iniziato a fare un buon ritmo raggiungendo Gavino che aveva rallentato il suo ritmo dice che aveva poca benzina, ma forse mi ha lasciato vincere come dice Frex. per il campionato si decide tutto a Spa , comunque vada è un onore essere in battaglia con Pete veloce ma sempre corretto, grazie e ciao a tutti, e scusate se scrivo in Italiano

Bit of a mare for me last night, first spin was just me losing concentration and not looking at where I was going  ::) After catching Geoff and Matt and finally getting past them I threw it off the track in a masochistic form of celebration just as fast as I could ::) ::) Quit in a self induced rage. Sorry all.

My usual lack of practice (real life is seriously getting in the way at the moment) I love these cars
particularly the Capri, but I was off the pace, and lost it after a while. had work to do so left.  :(

As riccardo says, championship finale will be Spa  ;D

Any requests for the next series? I am happy to run another one like this, or a spec series with Capri
or Fabcar, or any porkas again. I like to keep Thursdays historic, so DTM92/Touring Classics/GTO/Gr5
But anything that enough people want will be considered.

Seeing as I was the only GTO class car last night, you might as well discard them for Spa. With everyone in Gr. 5 cars, the grid won't be so messed up.

Race went better than I thought, that Monza is rapid in a straight line (nicely driven Dieter), so eventually I didn't see which way it went. Really thought I'd be out paced by everyone, to get two Capris' of the start was a real surprise, then I seemed to be on a pace with those two cars too. Anyhoo, coming to the end of the race I was way low on fuel and with nothing left to lose, I just pitted (got it all wrong... (which button kills the engine?) again). Sped in pitlane, so drove through a second time. And by then, I was just entertaining myself anyway, as I thought I'd have been doing from the start.

Grats Riccardo, Gavino and Dieter.


As to what to run next, I'm open to anything... as ever.

Formula Junior or Nissan Skyline spec series gets my vote (or even Nissan vs Volvo). Or maybe let Mark decide the next one?

We tried F junior once, and was poorly attended. I am happy to run it if enough people want it.
I like the Skyline idea. Nisan v Volvo? if they are well matched that could run. thanks

I just havent been enjoying the DTM;s either! Just have no real grip with the cars, end up doing the same thing to gain some mechanical grip but then end up frustrated with my pace.

These classes might have several cars in them but the only grp5 car i feel i can remotely drive is the Capri, also even in the DTMs i really only have 1 car choice.

I just tried them quickly at Norisring as we are there later this week. I was about half a second quicker in the Nissan, which is about the same gap as between the Volvo and the rest of the group for me. The Nissan has great top speed, good traction but horrible brakes and high front tyre wear. Needs some setup tweaks to get the best out of it imo. The Volvo is just slidey fun straight out of the box. Not sure if that constitutes a good match or not, or what the difference would be on other circuits. Spec series would be the safer bet I guess.

Thanks Frex. The Nissan to me is harder to drive, can be faster but feels vague, like it's not connected to the track.

Yes Riccardo. We did that before, and it was not popular. I had a lot of moans off people.
https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=13245#event4648

But I liked them very much. If only for the sound  :o
They understeer in, and oversteer out of corners, so not well loved here. But I am running short 6 race series
this year, so a short series with them might work.
Thanks.  :thumbup1:

Matt please don’t stop racing DTM 92 as the BMW 320 Evo is the only car I really feel confident in racing with! I’m an old “tin top” man and prefer DTM Group 5/GTO cars.

Not been happy with M1 it has too much understeer for me the whole of the BMW 320 cars all seem much more balanced to drive!! Having said that I’ll have a go at any thing old.

Hello guys.

Yes confirm. I've let Riccardo pass me in order to have the same points of Pete.
Now next race will depends only from the Riccardo's performance :)
