hi geoffers,

yes sadly your car did jump forward and backward like crazy and do blink blink blink very much too, i had NO idea where you was exactly on track, in start/T1 this was already difficulty and 1 or 2 laps later i did hit you and i was much behind, no idea why sometimes people in this racegame do have problems with connection, think the online system in this racegame is not 100% perfect, sadly.
after this i was much behind and demotivated, later i did hit a other car in T1 brake, as i did not calculate his brake point correct, as my car is much more late brake car, sorry for this (think p. alnutt).

race for victiory it did looks very close what i did see in timegaps, tonight i was not able to fight for good result, next race should be better (hope for DTM92, as i was thinking till short before the race, this race is with dtm92)

servus

hello,

yes john finished the race in 2nd and i was 3rd,
he leave the serve to early, so this is reason why he is not in results. he did not wait till the after race times did go to 0.00 sec. (dump problem in r3e this is)

so i can confirm that john (or chunky in forum) was 2nd.

..and sorry to anty for hard hit  for brake in T1 in start, i did push the clutch pedal and not the brake pedal    and was thinking...what the hell, why my car do not slow down...

spa/group 5 is a realy highlight, i did in past weeks not so much drive R3E, but if i did jump in capri, and did hear this extrem good sound i was in fun modus again, realy a simracing highlight this capri in spa is to drive. very much fun, but very difficulty too (for me).
i did 20min. (or was ths session 30min.??) practise and in beginning it was very difficulty to get clean laps, so i think i was in 2.19.xxx in end of practise (should be a little faster in race, as racesession is faster then practise)

hope for much drivers on thursday.

hi anty,

i do not make this race, as i have not this track, and will not buy for 5euro for only 1 race, i do not like this track in past races i did, to difficulty for me, same as nordschleife, practise intensive this track is.

i do start this series next week in spa (if i remember correct).

hi TT,

i think not possible offline make 90min., 60min. and then 120min. i can only select, so if you will make 90min. test, make 120m. and do stop if 30min. is racetime remaining on clock.

about pitstop, think nobody have exactly information about the fuel settings in this racegame, it is learning time for everybody, i never did test pitstop with fuel ever, i can not remember how pitstops works in this racegame with pre-settings and button mapping and when hit what button, will be for many confusing situation the first pitstops in this racegame for sure.

i do not make this race, and i do focus more on thursday races in season3 here,
perhaps any races i do, probably any GT3 races, but for sure no championship regular.

hi TT,

to change your name in this racegame,
 you must load the game,
then comes a screen with 5 things to select, like single player, multiplayer and so on....
click on the last thing, PORTAL (for me in german is name)

then you see in top of screen in right side any things which you can click on...
there is a little picture which looks a little like a "wheel" (is is next to ..go back to game...)
click this and you can select a new name (in german this thing is called   Kontoeinstellung)

if i remember correct, this is only way to change your name in this racegame, very complicated this is and hard to finding.

servus

hello,

no race for me tonight.

hi goldtop,

i think the track is the problem, not the system.
in any tracks you get penalty where you did NO cut (or come outside AND earn time), so any tracks ok for the system and any tracks do destroy good races totaly.

the idea of this penalty system is ok, but without a correct warning (penalty give) it is not so good, S3S would do a good thing, if they would adding a system where you get 2xfree cuts (like in GTR2) and then from 3rd cut you get the timepenalty.

in laguna seca it was not good track for penalty, i chat message i saw manytimes people get penalty and laguna seca is not a track where cutting is a problem (like magny course or monza in GTR2 for example), and so in this track the penalty system was a fun killer,

in the actual level (how long we do drive this racegame) it is not possible (for me at least) to know every track, if there is a good or a bad track for cutting, this must be long long testing and after many races we know all "dump places", then everybody know where he must be carefull for example. i got a endless long penalty in laguna seca only for come in inside of long straight, which i never had before, so each race is a learning race for know tracks (and where penalty are) better.

but all in all, i would be happy if in tracks where we know already that are dump penaltys, the penalty system will be OFF,

hi anty,

what wheel do you have, i have G27 and i am much happy.
only in many cars i had to make more steering lock after update any time ago, think gT3 cars have only 600/13 wheel, (or similar to this), i did simply reset after the update any time ago my wheel setting to standard (where i have already setup saved in user data), then do make to my old setting like 890° (as i have in g27 logitech profiler 900°, but a little more early the wheel do stop, so only 890° i do in setup menü) and around 30-32° steering lock (which is similar to my old GTR2 standard from 540° and around 17-18°).

i am not far away from orginal FFB settings, but i did reduce the 4 last things, like engine vibration, curbs and so on... here i did in first 2 thing 0% (engine and one other i think), and in last 2 things around 25% (think last 2 things are curbs and one other)

i have a perfect feeling for G27, better as in AC (in AC often i got this rattle rattle in wheel tomuch, not only if i have a flatspot), same standard as in rf2 or GSC for me.

hi geoffers,

in this racegame you can not drive like in GTL,GTR2, or many cars in rf1, where you can shift with auto clutch OFF, but do NOT use clutch pedal, in GTL and GTR2 you do earn time if you use this technik (which i think everybody know, and is not a sectret), but in this racegame you destroy very quick the gearbox (if this is correct name) if you do NOT use clutch pedal with auto clutch off, so i do use auto clutch ON in this racegame.

and i think same as phspok, this track is bad for cutpenaltys or/and how they do handle, i got a 8.2 sec. penalty only if i come a little to much in inside of long start/finish straight, but then the timer did not start to go down and i had wait endless time, for sure much more then 8 sec. penalty this was.

but this is great car/track combination (as nearly every race we do in historec cup) and i did like the race, it was close and there was 4 drives which had could win this race, looks like anty had most bad luck and best chance to win this race, as he was 2xtimes in lead.

hi TT,

for my personal thinking...

i like R3E more then AC, the racing atmosphere? is more better, i like the grafic and how the tracks like, i do feel more, that i do make a race , then i have in AC, in AC the races to much sterile? .
in AC i never feel good if i drive very close to other cars, as sometimes in AC there happen "dump" accidents what normaly was not a accident, in R3E i feel more save to drive close to other cars.

the setup for car is not so advantaged (not so much things in setup menü) as it is in AC, but i am not expert in setup, so i like to not adjust so much things (where many i do not realy understand), very basic the setup menü in R3E is.
and there are still any missing things in R3E, which comes later,
so you always start with a full tank, or you can not adjust the tyrepressure in setup for example, but since any days now, you can make in pitstop fueldoing too, so longer races are now possible too, with strategy part.

R3E is much bigger then AC in cars and tracks, so the game is more expensive too, if you buy everything,
but in R3E only racecars are, which are more better for online leagues then the many street cars in AC, which are not needed for leagues (for longer life of a league),
there a many great racecategories in R3E and all handles different, like the boring, easy GT3 or the more difficulty group5 cars, where they have NO ABS and TC and driving and brakeing is not easy in this cars, but very much fun.

grafic is for me better too as in AC (i know most people say opposite), the opponent cars looks so realistic and grafic feeling is great too, sound is very good too and for me the FFB feels so great too (G27), i am very happy with this racegame,
sadly there are not much online leagues actual and here we are around 6-11 drives most of the races, but i see, that this racegame start to grow a little online now too,
the server are not so empty as it was 0.5 years ago and in RD for example the "club races" have much drivers too.

sadly this racegame have not so good image from start as for example AC had, i was very happy with AC in beginning, but now not so much anymore, i am do not like the new tyremodel (again, oppsite like many others write) in GT cars, never come the good racing feelin in AC, it is more a much detailed hotlapping simulator for me and for leagues not so good as R3E is.
but R3E is still behind the old racegames in how leagues works, GTR2, rf1, rf2, GSC for example still better for leagues (but old, and rf2 i do not like the exrem much front tyre wear)

this is only how i see this, for me R3E is actual my main racegame, simply because the great feeling in the races.

edit...free content...do not test in raceroom track, this is bad track and do not show the potential of this racegame, do test in algarve.
and you can test in "competition" in portal many great raceseries, like DTM 2015, ADAC GT3, WTCC2014, touring classic and a few other for FREE, including setup doing, here you can as long as you like drive for free many many cars in different good tracks, best this is for someone which do not buy things or test longer the different series.

i had a very good race, i was always close behind tim, but was not able to overtake him, as it looks like he was a little faster in laptimes then me, but i did try to make not much little mistakes, which was extrem difficulty in this cars.
later he did get a "slow down" penalty after T1 i think and i was able to overtake and was able to hold lead then till finish, which was from lap to lap more difficulty, as the car was extremst difficulty in doing brake,
in beginning of race, i had only 1xtimes lift the trottle for not locking brake to much, but later i had to lift 2xtimes and  sometimes lift 3xtimes during one brake for corner, this was so difficulty and nearly not possible to have exactly brake points, and doing brake in a line was difficulty too, car was always try to get right or left side during brake.

-have other people same problems in brake, or is this only me??-

in last laps the car did so much understeer in the middle fast corners and like i did write, extrem hard to brake, that i had to concentrate 100% on limit, 30min. in this cars is same hard as 60min. in GT3 cars for sure.
but i like this cars (the capri most).

congrats all finisher

good this race looks, very interesting.

we need to make promotion? (advertising?) for this race and for new league races in 2016 that as much as possible driver we become,
this looks very good and with new features like pitstop for fuel and longer races now, i like this.

i hope there will be much drivers for this race (and for this series)

servus

hello,

i did not watch my fuel at end of race, but around 25l or 28l what i did read is very much not much,
as then perhaps maximal 40min. are possible (or lower).

i know in ADAC GT2014 master cars i can do totaly easy 40min. races, the 100l start to get down after many laps (perhaps after 15-20min. but not sure) , so probably the ADAC GT cars have a 140-150l tank perhaps, so that they can do longer races, i am nearly sure 1hour with ADAC GT master cars are possible.

probably the GT3 class have not so big tank and the start to get down from 100l (which in R3E is maximal in HUD, but any cars have bigger tank) start more early (i did not watched during race, damn) as with the ADAC GT cars.

for longer races the ADAC GT cars are better then (but people must buy this for 9.99euro, or perhaps cheaper if you own GT3 cars already, but not sure), or you must set the fuelusage to OFF in GT3 class and only make pitstop for tyres, then endurance races possible, but later comes pitstops for fuel too in this game, but no idea when.

i did a good race, but jayblue was to quick and 2xcutpenalty was not good too, damn cutpenatlys....
