Or are we stuck with just the GT3's again?

You've put the horrible diesel sounding one on there ;) Leave it on as I know some people like it - but if you can add the P4/5 on there also I'll be eternally grateful. Also it'll slow me down a tad Vs the GT3's and SCG003 :) Title: Re: GT3 Fun race - Donington Park - Dec 30 Post by: SRW on December 28, 2018, 05:43:27 PM +0000 Will you be adding the missing cars for this race?

Title: Re: GT3 Fun race - Donington Park - Dec 30 Post by: spanner on December 29, 2018, 09:32:31 AM +0000 Doh! High 28's damn
The new audi isnt quite as sublime to drive as the old one. Has an annoying habit of losing the rear under braking and moving the brake bias forward helps but then cant attach the entry as i'd like! Title: Re: GT3 Fun race - Donington Park - Dec 30 Post by: SRW on December 30, 2018, 11:00:27 AM +0000 Its Raceday ………
Donington Park + GT3 = ;D Title: Re: GT3 Fun race - Donington Park - Dec 30 Post by: Mark J on December 30, 2018, 11:41:24 AM +0000 I should be there later :)

Title: Re: GT3 Fun race - Donington Park - Dec 30 Post by: Simon Gymer on December 30, 2018, 09:28:36 PM +0000 Well wasn't expecting a pole to lights victory for me! Was a last minute decision to join in and fortunately I had a setup for the Porker at Donington already. You have to qualifying on mediums in the Porsche so was really surprised to take pole.
The rolling start did away with the lap 1 incidents (been saying this for years!) and although Mark pressured me the whole race, I was fairly comfortable knowing I could try a bit harder if necessary. With the Porsche you really have to not start sliding too much with the rears though because once they overheat it's curtains and there's no way back! A nice way to finish the year for me and thanks to SRou and all the organisers for all their work during the year to provide us with some fun times. Happy new year everyone! Title: Re: GT3 Fun race - Donington Park - Dec 30 Post by: Mark J on December 30, 2018, 09:45:01 PM +0000 Great little last race of the year that.
Could have had pole but caught a green Lambo with two corners of a lap left when I was well up and lost all my advantage :'( Think I was only about a tenth behind Simon for pole :o I chased his porsche butt the whole race but could tell he had the measure of me and he didn't appear to put a wheel wrong. Nor did I come to think of it! But car nearly caught me out once in Craners and that gave Simon the valuable few tenths breathing space, which he maintained until the end as captain consistency ;D It was a proper Porsche v Ferrari fight. Nice race to end the year, thanks for organising :thumbup1: Happy new year to all :sorcerer: Title: Re: GT3 Fun race - Donington Park - Dec 30 Post by: Bob on December 31, 2018, 07:43:40 AM +0000 Tried to join, both Fezzas taken so didn't bother.
Title: Re: GT3 Fun race - Donington Park - Dec 30 Post by: FullMetalGasket on December 31, 2018, 04:14:18 PM +0000 That was great fun - it was nice to finally get to take the P4/5 for a spin against real company 8)
It was a shame I lost the back at the start of Lap 2, but with only 'on' or 'off' as traction options it's a damn hard car to drive when the tires are warming up :) I also had a cracking battle with Steven until he finally lost it at old paddock (bad luck!) ;D Mark - you mentioned not having sounds. You probably have the old Fonsecker sounds. You need to download the last version of his pack 1 and put the files in that into the P4/5 (And anything else you previously used them for). They're so much better than stock there's no comparison. Thanks for all the racing over the last year guys, have a happy new years and I'll see you next year in Austria! |
