another fun race, this time with some new content:

BRANDS HATCH GP

NEW SRO GT2 CARS

FYI - Brands hatch GP is 50% off at STEAM sale at the moment

Its annoying they arn't doing a winter sale.

Is this on? There is no direct link in the 'forthcoming'

Yes it is on for Sunday night. I will setup the server later tonight

practice server is up for tommorrow nights race

I see that this race is standing start as opposed to the usual Sunday rolling start. Might it be an idea to test out the rolling start procedure introduced in the recent update.

Didnt realise they had introduced it. I will have a look into it if i get time before tonights race

Good race with Geoff loving brandshatch GP sorry could chat was trying my new Christmas pressie Oculus VR and you cant really chat with it as you cant see the keyboard
but I love this headset brilliant feels like your are in the car !

JP

Congrats on the win John, well driven.

Really enjoyed the Audi & Brands GP, chased John for most of the race, never more than a couple of seconds between us. Got on his tail with around 5 laps left when John & Bill had a misunderstanding, only to spin at Sheene on the next lap. Fortunately had enough time in hand to hold on to 2nd place.

Apologies John! :oops:

no worries Bill :)

Well done John and Geoff, no chance I was matching your pace last night. I felt guilty holding Mark up the majority of the race but enjoyed the battle, we swapped places a couple of times due to mistakes but otherwise passing was tough as Brands Hatch is tight and it's hard to race close in such fast cars which helped me stay in front.

I've never been very good in mid or rear engined cars and bought a lot of the Porsches last year with the intention of getting better but never got around to it. As much as I felt I was constantly hanging on driving the Porsche I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.

i found these cars less grippy than the GT3's, and less forgiving. I may use these for a series later in the year, what are peoples thoughts on using them?

Fine with me. I haven't tried the Porsche, even though I bought it a while ago, but the Audi is good fun.

Seems my post i wrote at lunchtime at work didnt get sent!

These car do remind me of Group 5 cars, loads of power but dont handle!

I struggled alot with the Audi to get it driveable through practise and qually. It was only some last gasp changes to the setup that seemed to make the car drivable and less understeery. Braking into Paddock would just push me out wide too much and seems to struggle at the end of the back straight as well.

In the race it was just myself and Glen all race, so was happy to wait when he first spun. Though we both fell off a few times!
