It's time the bloody kerbs were fixed, it's supposed to be the finished article. That's two races on the trot for me the kerbs have launched me off, not happy.

It's a pity that so many dropped out. After a collision with Mark J my car was crabbing badly and I pitted for repairs. Seemed like ages in the pit. Those that left would have easily got past me.

My race was fairly dull in the end as I could not keep up with the leaders and I was too fast for the people behind so I was a lonely 4th.
Something weird with the downforce though as I found that the car was both faster in a straight line AND in the corners with a lower wing. I ended up running 6 on the back on the Nissan. I tried 12 but it was low in a straight line and slower in the corners. Go figure. Very strange. 6 was lively, but faster.

It might mean you are running the car too low. I used to get that in the Merc especially at Nurb last corner and the fast chicane near the end of Mugello. Raising the ride height fixed it, but also not running over those particular curbs is a good idea. If you're losing it under power try reducing the power differential too.

I was sitting in the pits after qually with the countdown to race counting down the seconds to go. When it got to 60 secs to go the game froze. I crossed my fingers for a few seconds hoping it would sort itself out, but no such luck, so I did ALT/CTRL/DEL and forced the game to close. I then booted up AC again incase everyone had frozen up and we were going to restart the race, I entered the online game and it plonked me in the pits in the middle of the live race (lap 3) and I was able to drive out of the pits and join in! After doing a couple of laps I decided to press esc as I was several laps down and didn't want to get in anyones way. I was then able to drive out of the pits and rejoin the race! A bit different from GTR2!

I succumbed to the kerbs tonight too :'( I was thoroughly enjoying chasing Picnic very hard for 5th place (that he nicked off me on the start line!), it was great fun and I was really going for it, closing him bit by bit. But as shark alluded too for Bob, I get the feeling my car was a smidge too low as I'd felt it tramlining over the kerbs in the early laps with cold tyres. Then in the downhill fast right I got a little too much inner kerb and it spat me hard right into the Armco at high speed. Car was smashed up badly, DNF Shame, as these cars at a track like Mugello are great Turnouts still a little low had no pc for two days so couldn't do any promo'ing...nor praccy.

After sorting my skin out i forgot to select it! Lol im used to core-racings skin selection lol.
Anyway the race...
Well, i quallified using my race setup with mediums but low fuel, and it set me 2nd .. Had an easy first couple of laps up front then we started chatting on teamspeak and i lost my concentration a bit allowing eric and reinhard to catch up a little, managed to stay in front just i think, that nissan is a bloody monster down the straights! I made a questionable dive up reinhards inside on the first corner of the last lap which was a little naughty, but then its all racing eh lol.
A comment if i may, is there a reason why there are 3 simultanious championships /series running at the same time? Cant we just have 1 at a time and a weekly random race?
I think the random races are the best things tbh. Chances to drive different cars on different tracks.

If it was just random races I wouldn't bother. I can do that against the AI.

Was wondering why I could stay on your tail Chris Had good fun and kept a nice pace. It all ended when Reinhard passed me and I couldn't see where I was on track, when I was on his tail. It ended with me slipping on a kerb, luckily Simon was far enough back for me to keep 3rd place.

My point is the that the interest lies in consistent championships not pickup races. You don't need a league for pickup races.

^This. Which is why I'm running the cups instead of single races - that way it's still reasonably consistent but short enough that those of us with shorter attention spans (like myself) don't get tired of the car choice. For the record, I wouldn't be racing here if we were only running single races either.
