This is the soonest we get to play with these? lol

Without cancelling a current series, err, yes  ??? Can be done, but people need to shout up

yes I'm here

Tried out the Porsche as part of the competions at RA. This is going to be fun!

I agree, they are just what the doctor ordered. very fast, and quite drivable. I Love them  :tt1:

This is the 1st in the new series, historic icons, seriously fast cars, with some setup taming are not too hard to
drive...... Please come along to make the 1st race an epic  ;D

Is the default setup ok? If not any hints?

default setup is probably good, certainly it's drivable. For me I need a kinder rear with the power of these things.

Ta, might need some divine inspiration !

Good guide here to setting up the Porsche 962.

Should be around for this one  :)

Edit: Urrrgh, I'm going to miss this one unfortunately  :(

hello everybody, i'll be there.

Shame Tudor  :(
Good Alex  8)

I'm in the evening with you

Excellent! Some more Italian speed to add some spice  ::)

The server is still running and i'm out  :cursing: :censored:
after 10 years running online, tonight the pit lane kicked me out from the race like a newbby!!
Too fast coming in pit line, and go home immediately.

I was first for 7 laps, but a mistake felt me offroad and i lost the lead.
immediately riccardo gengotti get the lead until the distaster...my clumsy attempt to pit.

next time i'll study the pit line  ;D ;D

Sorry for that Alessandro  :(
A couple of things to learn from that race!

1: the soft tyres won't do a 30min event
2: the hard tyres seem to lose grip even when not worn, perhaps they are overheating? I will do some laps with
the overlay and report back when I can.

Results will have to wait, sorry, I forgot to ask to have the cars added to our server list.
Apart from that. I rather enjoyed it, on hard slidey tyres you need to be more careful with the power than I expected :o

nice race, these cars are difficult but fun, I managed the race with the soft without pit, it wasn't easy but it went well. Hi everyone

Oh, ok, so the soft tyres will do a race. must have been awkward towards the end though I expect.
Good info, thanks Riccardo  :thumbup1:

Got to say sorry to Geoff, was trying to stay out of the way at the start as I knew I had no pace and still tagged you. Really sorry to mess your race up like that.

Sorry folks but I was so slow and the rest of you so much faster that I thought I would be a hazard to the rest of you. Will look at the next race and see how it goes there.

No worries Pete, it made little difference, I was quite capable of making a mess of my race all on my own :laugh:.

Not one of my best races, had 3 or 4 spins that were my own doing & twice had Mark spin right in front of me. First time I stood on the brakes but still hit him amid ships & the second time I just managed to avoid him. With all that I was well behind & last finisher.

I did however quite enjoy these cars, they are fun & rewarding to drive when you get it  right. Watching a couple of the faster guys (Italians) in practice it seems I may have got my gearing wrong, I think they were using 1st for the tight sections whereas I was taking them in 2nd. It was too late to change gearing at that point but it seems I should have had a higher first gear & had the gears closer together.

Like Riccardo I used the soft tyres & although they went off near the end of the race & were a couple of seconds a lap slower, they were far from unmanageable.

Oh Matt another thing to learn from this race, you need to brake well early for the first braking zone after the start, the brakes don't work very well until they are warm. Seems nearly everyone overshot Village on lap 1!

Congrats to Riccardo, Matt & Frex.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Enjoyed that   :)

The Nissan is a challenge even with the soft tyres, but the hards felt truly awful, were a lot slower and (most importantly) just not as much fun. Some work on the setup would probably improve things but I just went with the softs and accepted I'd have to stop. I was catching the leaders so thought initially they must be on hards, but then Alessandro pitted. The DQ was a shame as the second half of the race would have been fun. I see now Riccardo was on softs and driving conservatively to manage the tyres, but even so I have no idea how you (and Geoff) got them to last - maybe the Porsche is a bit easier on the tyres? I had a couple of spins at the end of each stint when my tyres were gone - the second of those on the last lap and handing P2 back to Matt.

Congrats Riccardo and Matt.
