Moderator's Report

Wrong car chosen. However we will not administer the usual DQ as fellow drivers have pleaded for clemency. So our penalty is the deduction of 4 race points and one drive in the BMW is lost.

  • Bill Grewcockpenalty — Loss of four points and one drive in the BMW — 4.0 championship point(s)

Results

Good fun yesterday.

Very close times in qualy.  Grin
The start was good but Ati and Maipor too close to me.
In lap 4 at the fast chicane I made a little mistake braking too late and I made the chicane at very low speed. Ati passed me for the right and he could not avoid me and touched my lateral. Unfortunately his car flew out.  Sad Very badk luck.
I lost my concentration for a few laps and my friend Marc passed me.
In lap 12 I got passed Marc and I took my car to the finish line 1st.  Grin

Grats Marc for the 2nd place and grats Gregman for the 3rd race in his 1st race.  Wink

Thanks all for racing. Great grid.

Cheers.

Unfortunately Bill Grewcock drove an illegal choice of car (Mazda RX-3 for a third time) and is consequently disqualified. Sorry Bill  Sad

Driving the Mazda more than necessary should really be punishment enough Tony..  Wink

Can only speak for myself, but think it was an honest mistake, and doubt Bill gained anything from it, so personally I would have no problem if he retains his position, and just have a drive in another car removed.

I would not have a problem with that Erling. I would have to decide which car he would lose a drive in (probably the BMW).

However if anyone thinks the DQ should stand they should perhaps pm me before Saturday.

For the same reasons, I'm also happy for Bill to retain his position.

It's funny; I quite liked Daytona, but couldn't get to grips with this version at all.

Improved my pb in qual, but that still didn't get me any further than midfield. Gained a place at the start, but lost it again at the start of L2.  From then and until midrace, I had Bill G as my very close and exceptionally noisy shadow.  He did his best to slipstream me down the oval, and initially I did my best to foil his attempts.  After some laps, when the noise just got too much, I pretty much just held my line, so he could slipstream past me all he liked. Except he couldn't: like Bill described, as soon as he pulled out from the slipstream, the Mazda ran out of puff, so he didn't get past.

Made up some places when others fell off, but eventually Bill found a way past, in a very clean move through the twisties. He soon pulled away, so clearly was faster. Have to commend you for your patience Bill - a more hotheaded driver would probably have muscled through, or pushed me out of the way much sooner..  Smiley  Thanks for a great race, despite the noise..  Grin

Faster too was Steve, who caught me. Had a moment out of the chicane, where I ended up grazing the wall and making a pass easy for him.  Few laps later I wondered what had happened to Bill, as we both passed his stationary car.  Was running 5th towards the end, when on the last lap, I passed a stationary Steve, to take a not fully deserved 4th.

Grats to the podium and commiserations to those who fell out - especially Steve, who had 4th in the bag, but ran out of fuel. Strange if you put in extra fuel Steve. I only tried the Beemer and it would go longer than setup suggested.  Thus I started the race with 21 laps worth of fuel, but it was in fact enough for 25-26 laps.

Erling

Enjoyed that. Was having some good tussles with people, but as the rears wore the car became very wobbly
and I wobbled off the track a few times and got two stop and goes. as the second one was only a few laps
from the end and I was now way behind, i parked it. Good fun though.

I was my own worst enemy last night, Erling. Had practiced during the week and found that 20 lapsworth of fuel got me round the 24 laps, with a little to spare and I did this 3 times. So the red mist did its job of dampening my excitement of starting last and reaching 4th, particularly as it ran dry with about a 1/4 of a lap to go Shocked  Yes, up until recently I've put in 10% extra on top of the standard quota - I think I'll be reverting back to that strategy from Avus onwards.

It was entirely my fault that I ran the Mazda too many times and so the DQ should be applied. It's ironic really since I really dislike that car and would prefer not to have used it at all   Undecided

Hmmmmm, whatever I had planned for this race was scrapped before I even got as far as the pits!!! With no real practice I had intended to use the BMW as the consensus on the forum seemed to indicate that it was the car for this track. I was hoping to tweak a setup during the qualifying period and at least have some fun racing.

I have no idea why the server would not allow me to join with the BMW, I tried almost all of the 2002ti's just in case the server was colour blind. But each time I got the message "car not present on server"??

 So as time was ticking I tried to join with the Datsun and "bingo!!" we were admitted to the game.  Apparently I needed to speak Japanese and not German to race here???

Having done only a few exploratory laps in the BMW, changing to the Datsun was not such a big issue, but the lack of time to sort out a setup and learn how to make it work certainly was.
Practice was spent cobbling a race setup and learning where the limits were............I found a lot of limits!!!

I was getting quicker, but I was struggling with the chicane on the banking and found more ways to get that wrong than I thought possible. When
Quali started with some more laps on race fuel and some tweaking of gear ratios that was to be my eventual undoing. With a few minutes of quali left I dumped a load of fuel and decided to try a couple of banzai laps, with extra care through that chicane. Gobsmacked to get such a fast time and gutted to be 0.7 secs up on the next lap ( and looking to be low 2:05) when I screwed up that ruddy chicane...again.

When the race started I just jumped back to my "race fuel" setup and went to the grid. When the flag dropped I was away and tailing the 4 aliens ahead. I was surprised to find that I was staying with them through the infield and as we swept onto the banking I was even contemplating a slipstream and a pass..............until I selected 5th gear!! I had forgotten that I had tried an extra long ratio and the revs dropped to about 6k!! All I was able to do was sit in the slipstream and chug along.
The next few laps were a case of just tagging along and allowing the fast pack to drag me clear of the cars behind, but the downshift into the chicane was a real problem with those dodgy gear ratios and eventually I cut the corner on the way AND on the way out, only 1 lap later I did it again!! Stop and Go required!!  RED MIST TIME!!!
Blatted into the pitlane ...too fast.....stopped in the wrong place......moved forward missed the correct spot decided to go around again....collecting a speeding penalty on the way out!!
On the next lap I got the chicane wrong again......entered the pitlane slowly........stopped at the right place but forgot to engage the limiter when I left and...another SnG!!!

Sorry guys!  But I just lost the will to live at that point and hit the escape key. I must get my pit etiquette sorted as I am always screwing things up in that area and making a mess of my races.

Big grats to the podium and all the finishers. Upon reflection I like this version of Daytona and enjoyed the few laps of racing that I did manage.
