(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the rules about in-game chat messages. (3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another non pack track occasionally) (4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit. (5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface) Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

Hope there are no pitstops to drag it out further ;)

I will check again when I reset it at 19:45 :sweatdrop: Title: Re: RRE Season 8 (2021) NSU's - Zandvoort - Jul 22 Post by: BillThomas on July 22, 2021, 06:45:31 PM +0100 Too hot for me, so giving this race a miss! See you all when temperatures drops.
Title: Re: RRE Season 8 (2021) NSU's - Zandvoort - Jul 22 Post by: picnic on July 23, 2021, 08:30:26 AM +0100 Was too hot last night, really struggled with the headset on even though I had a fan blowing on me. Was 30+ in the room. Got a good start race 1 and got a little gap, wasn't sure what was going on there but it didn't take long for JP and Geoff to start setting fastest laps and thus catch me up. Once passed I barely hung on with the help of the tow and them battling each other. Then Geoff took too much kerb in T3 and rolled it! Followed John home for 2nd.
2nd race was intense to start with, battling through to 3rd. By then Geoff was well out in front and John just out of the tow, I just tried to keep it together before I melted. Great to see a new face in the series last night :) Senyorlobo, hope you enjoyed these and will turn up for more :fencing: Title: Re: RRE Season 8 (2021) NSU's - Zandvoort - Jul 22 Post by: phspok on July 23, 2021, 09:06:50 AM +0100 I wasn't sure, but I thought the name looked familiar, then when I did the results Jose was our old pal Senyorlobo
from GTL fame, who has pulled his saddle from the wall and remounted the horse again ;D Title: Re: RRE Season 8 (2021) NSU's - Zandvoort - Jul 22 Post by: Geoffers on July 23, 2021, 06:07:42 PM +0100 As is often the case, two fun races with the NSU, particularly the first race.
Really struggled in practice & qually, could not get near the times I was doing in testing. I thought it may be a repeat of a problem I had a couple of days ago where I was only getting about 75% throttle, but a quick check showed all to be working fine. Just the driver not working properly then! First race was a great battle with Pete & John until trying to go two abreast through T3 with John, I caught too much kerb & rolled the car. Could not quite catch Toni for 3rd at the finish. Thus I had a favourable grid position for race two & was able to make the most of it. Passed Jose at the start & took Eck & Matt early on to lead. John was soon through to 2nd so had to press on hard to keep the lead. Fortunately the driver was now working well & I was able to open the gap to 4s at the finish & head off for a celebration beer. :yes: Congrats to John for the win in race 1 & to Pete & Toni on their podiums. :clap: :clap: Good to see Jose (senyorlobo) join us, hope to see you regularly. If only we could get all the RRE drivers here out together, we would be well into double figures. Where have all our Italian friends gone too? ???

Just managed to get pole but Pete got the start on me so I was chasing him down and in these things it takes time!! managed to get the better of Pete round the out side on the second to last corner and then a very fast Geoff on my case and the last I saw of him was going into turn 3 two abreast reading the race reports I know why now.
Second race Geoff was way to quick and I just couldn't close the gap congrats on the win Geoff and Pete on 3rd JP |
