UKPnG Season 9 Limited Car Choice Series - Nürburgring - Jul 3

[phspok]

I have had two "lost connections" recently, not just here, so it maybe an ISP thing or our server having a wobbly
which has happened occasionally in the past. If I have time I will setup my home brew server as standby.
I am going to make qual from 19:25, with just 5 mins prac so everyone gets the chance to do a couple of flying laps
if they want to put in the time. No flames please about how you can't join that early because you will miss
fondling your hamster or feeding the pirhana. As stated by Frex, here the laps are so long and people fall off
so much your grid slot is maybe less important than at other tracks.

[Clive Loynes]

Oh dear!

I have to feed the hamster to the piranha.

[phspok]

Hmm, I have heard of these arcane practices in Hecky Bunk 

[Mark J]

Good news is I can make it tonight

To Donni: just a little concerned that you say the vid shows you what to do at end of lap, remember this is the VLN layout (rather than the videos normal nordschleife) so right at the end after the left right kink you get on the power and go left onto the GP circuits sf straight 

[Giuseppe Reali]

Hello guys, it is clear that I do not want to force anyone to do what I say, I just try to advise for the best (when I can), but I think it is a good idea, that of Matt, to use all the time for Qualy  
Anyway, I wanted to point out that if we want to do Qualy with the day light you have to make Qualy 1, Qualy 2 is at night  

P.S.: this version of the track, NoS VLN 2.21 has been modified specifically for not being able to make the cut (no cheat), so it is mandatory to do the rounds of full launch 

[Clive Loynes]

Thanks Giuseppe.   

Could we have daylight for qually and race please Matt?

[phspok]

I have taken GR's advice and set to Qual 1, the race will be daylight.

Oh, thanks for the track d/l link Ed, The files is over 100meg which appears to be why it says you have exceeded your limit before you start!
My web site won't host anything over 48meg, so I will make something else for the future

[Bill Grewcock]

Couldn't resist this event for my P&G debut ... 4 laps of the Nords ... bring it on 

[Legzy]

Not particularly chuffed having spent longer sat waiting for the grid to assemble then I got to enjoy going round the track.

Made it to turn 4 before another car going way to fast for the corner, pretty much t-boned me from the side, leaving me with a broken suspention & no sign of the driver waiting.
We were 4 turns into a 40+ minute race on a track that we rarely get to enjoy. It's really no wonder the numbers are down here.

Brilliant first lap for me, loadsa fun, then lost connection at the beginning of lap 2. Bugger.

[EvilClive]

Lost connection as i crossed the line at the end of a 1st lap where I was just pushing too hard and making too many small mistakes    A shame as I really felt that i had a grip on this Alfa for the first time in PnG AND I knew 95% of the track...ah well such is the life of a sim racer  

[frex]

Not sure if the prob is my end or server end, but tried a few on-line laps last night and "lost connection" twice. Each time just as I tried to start a second flying lap??

Looks like whatever caused this got both of us Evil. Strange..

[Mark J]

Bugger, ive just finished the 4 laps all the time wondering why I hadn't caught the pack back up only to realise the server or I must have disconnected!!    Everyones names were still in the drivers list so I just assumed you had all become ring specialists! 
What a blinking annoyance! 

[Bill Grewcock]

Awesome first couple of laps duelling with phspok and frex (or was it Alex ?)  

Last 2 laps were spent trying to maintain a steady pace ... very chuffed to finish 4th  

[Mark J]

what was weird was I never got any notice or warning that I had disconnected! Didn't help that I was running on my own at that point having finally got past Alex and Clive and pulled a gap, but as far as I was aware the pack ahead were still out of sight! Glad I drove around on my own for 40minutes just for a dnf 

Not had a Disco for over a year so must be track or server related as a few others disco'd too. 

ps I saw the move that put Legzy out and it was pretty shocking, the other driver should apologise for a very bad move! I was the victim as well as I hit Legzys smashed car which was right ahead of me at that point and knocked out my headlights.
