Terrible but not so surprising : I didn't know this track, damn it's dangerous, intense, tiring.. My little yellow and blue Surtees managed its best result of the year here with 8th position though.

This track is damn dangerous.

Does anyone have an idea why sTracker split times look so broken ? There is a logic between the Fab and Vva's ones but Louis' ones are so different.  ??? My owns are quite like Louis, albeit a bit slower.

2 different track versions maybe ? If so, which is the right one ?  ::)

Edit : Now on the server my split times are the same way as Fab and Vva.. Weird. sTracker issue ?

Got my first laps in tonight. I really recommend you guys get some laps in before Wednesday, it’s a fast and tricky circuit, like Monaco in places but fast  :o nice to have yet another new track to race on.

It was Handy to watch vva for a few laps to get me up to speed and get some setup hints.  :) Still a second to find somewhere. 

This is going to be a race of attrition!
It's a very tricky circuit in a '75, there's a lot of time to be made if you're willing to take risks. But any mistake is practically race ending...
Also how fast is the BRM here?! I used the setup I made at Zandvoort and still can't match it!

No idea, car always hit walls before finish line... ;)'
 

Sorry, gonna have to miss this one too.


I'm going to be back on wednesday races in the new year though!

Race day folks,  hopefully Pete is on the case with the server this week?

Good luck and god speed for this track i think  :surrender:

Assuming I'm not 'distracted' like last week I'm ready to kick things off later!

Last race before Christmas, lets try and have a decent one  :)

Please someone get ahead of FMG into turn 1  ;D I might slip a tow-line onto his back axle...

Pete seems absent so I've just started the server.  :)

Well that lasted about as long as I suspected it might. Took it very easy on outside line into T1 to avoid bunching and still understeered into the bales. Car was hard to drive after that and after a couple of further visits to the armco decided enough was enough. Apologies to anyone behind that might have been caught up in my accidents.....I think I seriously hampered a Lotus at one point  :-[

thanks for sorting that out again Tim. :angel:

My race was completely destroyed by a weird Rift glitch that decided to go completely awol right as I accelerated off the line at race start. I got a weird half black screen/half track/timer view came up and when it finally sorted itself a few seconds later my car was bouncing off walls, head on into the wall at the layby. Im really sorry if anyone else got caught up in that, no idea if anyone was involved as I couldn't see anything. Just hope nobody got whacked as I wasn't in control. I had to hit return to pit and sit there for a 35 second penalty  ::)

As soon as I exited the pits, my wheel threw a wobbler and put me into the Armco hard  >:( so something screwy happened to my drivers ( I suspect a flipping oculus update).
I did a few more laps and then my bloody gearstick fell off its mount  :'( I did a quick fix, one more lap and it fell off again. I quit in disgust.
What a crappy way to miss out on the race, a comedy of errors from my hardware  :(

I started pretty well, got 2nd position and was going steady about 20 laps with little red devil Fab on my tail. But then idiotic mistake in 1st hairpin, hit right front, nice spectacular flight - and 6-wheeler has became 5:) Fab escaped collision skillfully. I had no chances to get to pits cause i couldn't turn the car at all. So escape-go back to pits-85 seconds penalty. I returned 1 or 2 laps behind and tried to keep the pedal to the metal. So i was 5th at finish. Still don't know if the result valid. You guys judge. Anyway awesome track and brilliant race for guys on podium!

Sorry about last night again, seems no matter what good intentions I have at the moment someone/thing decides to mess that up. It's nice to know there is a backup in place, thanks FMG  :angel:

I enjoyed that one much more than I expected. Qualified on the back row, then had a car land on top of me at the start. Escaped any serious damage somehow, and proceded to lap steadily but slowly, making up places on damaged cars ahead of me. Then discovered I'd cocked-up my fuel calculation and had to make a splash-and-dash with two laps remaining. Just happy to be still running at the finish here, and I had no idea where I'd finished either, so thanks for posting the results  ;D

that might have been my disco-ing car Les, sorry if it was. I take it nobody else suffered a weird glitch or disco at race start then?

I'm gutted as thats a big loss of points with an instant dnf. I was hoping for a season long battle with fabri and vva.  :'( Plus i was looking forward to the mental challenge of 45mins around this fierce track whilst racing others

Ya silly goose,  its a long season and its never over till the fat lady sings!


Also,  I'm coming for your podiums in the final 10 rounds  :fencing:

glad to hear you will be joining us for rest of season :)

its FMG who is looking un-assailable already after 4 rounds, but could be a great 4-5 way fight for the podium places, plus a good close midfield fight shaping up :-

Sorry the server started a bit late - as I've mentioned previously, it's hard to know what the time is in the Rift ;D

That race was stupid hard for me, I seem to have caught conjunctivitis on about Monday - and it's generally fine until evening time....
In the case of last night I was fine until about half race distance, from then on I was steadily struggling more and more to see as one and then the other eye would blur over :eek:
The last 10 minutes were essentially shape recognition, on anything other than a street circuit with all those handy barriers and buildings to follow I'd probably have had several offs and/or a proper crash. Instead I just had to go slower and follow the walls.

As you can imagine I'm really pleased with the win as a result - especially as I managed to knock a further .2 off of my PB back when my eyes were still working during qualifying :D

Congrats to the podium and finishers, this car combo is actually harder here than the '67 F1's.
At least in those you can make a car which has neutral handling the entire way around, in these you have to pick which corners you want a 'nice' car to drive and then fight it everywhere else!

Great, he beat you all with one eye open  :o  :laugh:  everyone needs to up their game  ;D

Thanks again for the server start and hope the red-eye cures before xmas. :)

Maybe he's just less scared when he can't see, hence the faster times  :laugh:

Either that or we have a damn Jedi in here...

Drive-through for free, 1 eye only,.. We still need to break an arm or a leg to prevent you from winning..  ;D

Was a lonely race here. I didn't see the mayhem behind me at start, I just knew I had some room to be very careful in the first few turns. Though I had Kimi chasing me end of lap 1, aspirating me in the pitlane "straightline", unfortunately we just had passed Mark's stopped car so that it might have made things a bit more complicated for him and he ended pretty bad in T1 entry. Not sure it would have gone well without that neither.. As i wasn't in good physical condition, and as long as I was seeing Fabrizio going slowly further, I just pushed the "Endurance & Safety" button. Only 1 very slight contact with the rails, which is my victory in this race. 2 free places due to Vva's crash and Mark problems. Surprise podium.

Thanks all for racing.

I had ping problems, very high during qualifying and this worried me enough, considering that this could create many problems for others in a street circuit.
Fortunately, the ping returned to normal shortly before the start.

I started quite badly, even distracted by the previous problem. I saw Mark very close behind me and immediately after a general chaos. I didn't understand that it had happened. I was 3rd behind VVA. I stayed close to him for all laps. I tryed put a bit of pression, it is never easy drive with a red thing in the mirrows, but he drove very well with no mistakes.
I was thinking of attacking him at the end. But around the 20th lap after "the jump" at max speed, VVA had some trouble and he hit the guard rails abruptly. It was a terrible scene, also several spectators were involved in the accident. I managed to pass unscathed somehow, leaving the hell behind me.

Then I continued the race in second position without taking any risks. FMG was far ahead and absolutely unreachable.

A good 2nd position considering that Tim was simple too fast for me. Adrenalinic race for sure.

Congrats to all finishers! Really bad luck for Mark.
