Point well missed. Let me help.

When you approach the end of the 1st straight you will see, on your right hand side a row of bales cutting of a sliproad. This sliproad provides an alternative route to join the return straight. It is a small straight then a slow turn left but you must be wary of cars coming from your left on the traditional route.

The displaced bales will fly all over the place but they do not damage your car if struck.

That's a real problem, Kurt.

I use a mains powered 23 watt fan directed at the laptop venting which stops any overheating. In fact, because my graphics card works at near max for GTL, I always use it regardless of the weather. Although my room is south facing, come racetime, the room temp has fortunately dropped.

If you do try a standalone fan, remember to keep all windows closed if the outside air temp is still high laugh

It would be a shame if you couldn't make it tomorrow.

I was intrigued by this explanation and have just found time to try about 5 laps ( before the fun warden found me more urgent work to do!!), to get an idea of where this shortcut is... Roll Eyes . Just one question Tony, when the 2 options rejoin at the hairpin, who has priority?

No problem Ati7, I saw you move to the inside just as I was about to turn in...Racing Incident. Just sorry that it ended your race Ati7

I was literally holding my breath at the ist hairpin on lap 1 where the annual  convention of the Kamikaze Pilots reunion appeared to be taking place!! lol
I aborted my turn in twice to allow projectiles ( they were so fast I could not be sure that they were cars!!) to zip up the inside and test the haybales. Very sporting of whoever it was to sacrifice themselves that way  Roll Eyes
2 laps later I was really cheesed off to have made a mistake like I did coming off the banking, and end up parked in the stands. I knew that I had a 2:08 lap in the car, even without slipstream, if I could just hook it up. maybe i was pushing just a fraction too hard to get away from BillG behind and I paid the price. I'm actually not sure that my right leg would have lasted the race as I was already feeling the early stages of cramp during qually and was switching my left foot onto the gas pedal down the straights....hmm left braking I have heard of, but left foot accelerating??  Shocked

Grat to all those who finish.

That was a comedy of errors:

1: When the race started it put me in the pits! huh? so ran through the pits and got going with everyone long gone down the road.
2: Had a wobbly trying too hard to catch up off thebanking which did some damage, and the engine would not do full revs anymore.
3: Hit misniomis (I think) coming off the banking as he was recovering, I went right he read it wrong and also went right... Bang
so went in the pits for a stop and go, but pits were in auto mode and when I hit return (foolishly) it fixed a,, the bodywork, tyres/.fuel
127 sec pitstop, but the engine still was not hitting top revs
4: managed to catch the limping Coyote, only to then stuff it at the hairpin and let him through as I was too busy trying to work out
who i could see in front.

Good fun amyways  Cheesy

For such an apparently straightforward track Avus turned out to be very tricky indeed. The start of the race was a bit of a lottery with much wheelspin combined with someone having a slow start (not me for a change  Tongue) and I gained a place heading off along the 1st straight. I managed to put my right-hand wheels on the grass while slipstreamimg Ati (mucho panic  Shocked) and Erling nipped up the inside then missed his braking point. I was back into P3 along the 2nd straight then Ati had a big shunt and I was in P2 behind Clive. On the next lap Clive did a Space Shuttle impersonation and I inherited the lead with Tony and Hayman following. I was able to steadily increase the gap to P2 and so I managed to begin braking a bit early for each turn and then had a fairly lonely run to the chequered flag.
Congrats to all finishers (especially Bob in the Aston) ... that was a real test of concentration  Smiley

First race for a few weeks for me. I set the car up for top speed, not corners or acceleration. It was certainly strong on the straights but very slow to pick up speed and slow in the bends. It made for an interesting race with lots of overtaking and being overtaken. Then I tried a different line on the banked bend to see if it was quicker. Not a good idea, I went to the top and had to tiptoe round losing a lot of time. Was getting my head down to try to close up on the cars that passed me but got the exit from the banking slightly wrong and was slow onto the straight. I was accelerating hard but got clipped from behind by someone who had obviously made a good exit. This sent me spinning into the Armco and somersaulting through the air. eek I landed on my wheels I think so started to accelerate but immediately realised I was driving the wrong way on the wrong side of the track. Lucky no one was coming. I span it round and had to do part of the track again. The car seemed to drive O K but lost its speed. In fact it was just over 10 mph slower on the straights so I had no chance of catching anyone up. At least it was still running. Nice to do some sim-racing again and with no P C or controller problems, only driver ones (me).
 
Congrats to podiums and all.clap

Had a foreboding about this race, which sadly became all too real  Sad

In offline praccy, I had done a 2:10.8 kamikaze lap, bouncing off the walls of Tony's alternate route at the hairpin, and a 2:10.9 clean lap.  That looked good compared to the few published times in the forum, so a sobering experience to come online and find myself midfield, with several drivers in the 2:09s.

Went back to the regular route round the hairpin, as it was much easier braking on the tarmac in a straight line, rather than on the concrete (or whatever it is), having to change direction simultaneously.  Some miracle clearly happened in qual, when after dumping a load of fuel, I managed a low 2:09 and ran away with pole  Shocked

Made a dreadful start, losing 3 places.  Was so easy to start the Jag at Grenzlandring, but not here. Reclaimed one place from Bill as he described, but then the close proximity of the other cars distracted me enough to miss my braking point, and I ploughed hard into the barrier.  Rejoined in 9th.

Made up some places and was in 5th at the end of L2, but then happened upon the rejoining Clive, as I was coming out of the banked curve.  Did not expect a stationary car there, and by the time I had realised what was happening in front of me, I couldn't do anything to avoid a collision; sorry Clive  Sad
Both our cars were catapulted over the wall.  Amazingly mine was still running, and by driving along the wall, crossing a bridge and barging through a fence, I was able to rejoin; now very much in last place, except for poor Clive, apparently stuck in the grandstands.

Car wouldn't reach its top speed anymore, and I could only do 2:20 laps. Expected repairs to take a long time, but still went into the pits to check after a number of laps - not much to lose really.  Amazed to see that it was only body damage and would take a mere 21 secs to fix.  Cursing myself for not pitting right away, as that would have saved me 30-40 secs.  Except it wouldn't have...  Car was exactly as slow as before, so repairs didn't help.

Kept plugging on, to scrape a few points home, and did cash in on others misfortune, to finish 7th I believe - after a small battle with Matt in another damaged car.

Grats to the podium and thanks to Tony for an unusual track selection.

Cheers,
Erling

I agree, Bill. For such a "straightforward" track, it still had the knack of wearing down my concentration.

Pre-race nerves, yes I will admit to them, scared made me decide to start at the back (again) - so was surprised to see you, Matt, in my mirrors about 1/2 a lap into the race, having been unfairly "awarded" an early free pitstop.

I started passing quite a few cars in unusual off-track positions and worked my way up to 5th, thinking " I musn't do what they've just done etc" over and over in my mind. Paranoia eventually got the better of me and i started overthinking the basics, resulting in some barrier bashing (not losing any places) to completing a triple salchow somersault off the wire netting on the exit to the banking, this time being passed by about 4 cars and dropping back to 9th.

Managed to pull myself together for the remainder of the race with the only human contact being Bill lapping me with a few laps to go. Others misfortunes meant I gained places again and was pleased to finish this time (no fuel blunders) and in 5th place.

Well done Bill. You even sounded faster than all the others when passing you on the straights. Well driven Hayman for your 3rd P2 and a great effort Bob for outsmarting most of us Jag drivers.

Had a fairly good start, on an unusual track, I thought it might be a boring race but it turned out to be a kind of a comic one, seeing cars flying all over the track

After the banking on the Starting lane I saw Clive and Erling I guess up in the air so I passed them happily, and after a few fights with the guys in front then on lap 10 or 11  I saw Tony spinning at the start of the brick banking so i passed him and and got P3 for a while and then one lap later I hit a wall and got a front left puncture so while trying to reach the pits I hit the rail and jumped to the inside where i found myself stuck without being able to rejoin the track again !

It was really frustrating to see u all racing and me just watching from the center of the track  Roll Eyes

Congrats to the podium finishers and Thanks again Tony for the track choice

Hope to see u all in the next race
