PS. Just watched at RSR lap times. All of GT3 cars are good competitive here. Glickenhouse is too slow. :) Title: Re: UKAC Fun Race - Okayama - Mar 31 Post by: spanner on March 28, 2019, 02:30:02 PM +0000 I would probably remove the glickenhaus cars personally as they have never been GT3 equivilent.
Well thats annoying, i got the ferrari working better than i had uptil that point and so want to take that, but i think i 'll go with the Audi as I remember i ave struggled with the newer Audi getting the car to work for me. The old one was easy to setup and drive! Title: Re: UKAC Fun Race - Okayama - Mar 31 Post by: Baikal on March 30, 2019, 04:41:20 PM +0000 Yes, Audi is just a sweetheart. Soft and fluffy as a children's toy :)
But still not sure that i will be tomorrow night :( No ppl activity and interest is a one thing i don't like/ It's more hard to drive at sunday deepest night Title: Re: UKAC Fun Race - Okayama - Mar 31 Post by: nfsw55 on March 30, 2019, 06:53:42 PM +0000 I'm in with the Audi tomorrow ;)

Title: Re: UKAC Fun Race - Okayama - Mar 31 Post by: SRW on March 31, 2019, 09:16:19 AM +0100 I will probably take the 650. I like the audi and the sound of the merc, but i always seem to be a bit quicker in the 650

Title: Re: UKAC Fun Race - Okayama - Mar 31 Post by: Bob on March 31, 2019, 09:32:44 PM +0100 Astounded myself in qualifying and in the race, a couple of stupid mistakes and all was lost. Great combo, a wonderful track mod enjoyed, thx.
Title: Re: UKAC Fun Race - Okayama - Mar 31 Post by: FullMetalGasket on March 31, 2019, 09:58:15 PM +0100 'All was lost' - Pfft, you still got 3rd :P
I made 2 silly mistakes and ended up 4th. The P4/5 is definitely slower than the GT3's but I do love the added challenge of Driving Aids that are about as sophisticated as the ones in my road car - plus the Fonseker sounds :wub: I seemed to have to take some fairly unusual lines compared to a few of the cars I raced, hope I didn't cause anyone any problems. Not intentional if I did, but I have to run very little wing to even hope to stay near the GT's which makes cornering slightly more tricky (Also see comment about driving aids ;D ) Well done to NFSW and Larry for the other 2 podium spots :) Fun race that, I can't wait until the GTA race here. Some of those corners are going to be utterly stupid fun in the Alfas' 8) Title: Re: UKAC Fun Race - Okayama - Mar 31 Post by: SRW on April 01, 2019, 01:21:36 PM +0100 >:( 6 year old sons tantrum + my PC failing to recognise my steering wheel meant I didn't get on track until one minute before the end of qually, so spent most of the race just getting up to speed. Shame as I really like this track.
That was the last of the fun races, starting next Sunday will be the Porsche Supercup series (alternating between RRE & AC). First up will be RRE Porsche at Spa, followed the week after by AC Porsche at Spa. So we can use MJ's Wednesday night Lotus race at Spa as a warm up! |
