Using the 320 Turbo, problem here with automatic gearbox it won't change into 1st even at virtually walking pace  Huh so it creeps around T1 and chicane in 2nd gear. Best lap is around 2:30.

Can't you manually down shift even with auto gears?

Yes but as soon as you accelerate it changes up again making it difficult if you're at the apex either spinning you off or making you run wide!

Can't make it tonight or next weeks guys, sorry. Work has a deadline to meet and I'm having to work long hours.

sorry guys, I just found that so utterly frustrating I had to quit  :'( What should be my dream combo of a 935 at Spa just didn't happen. What the hell is wrong with the car just spinning up the revs mid corners without moving?!  its like I am dropping it in neutral and maxing the throttle. I just could not get through the final chicane without sitting there like a lemon revving the nuts off and not moving unless I put it into too high a gear and then losing seconds galore  Huh  It did it over and over, watch the replay!. Am I supposed to be running a really high power diff or something? I had already lengthened 1st gear so it wouldn't rev too high but to no avail.  It even did it half way up eau rouge on several occasions!

Also hate the braking where no matter how softly I try and do it, it randomly pitches me into a spin.

I spent most of the practise session just getting the steering to feel better. Roll Eyes Felt so wound up by the time I left, not what I want from sim-racing.

As always cars looked and sounded great when I did manage to stay near one on track, just aaargh! taz

Bad luck fella. You missed an utterly incredible race. Some real edge-of-the-seat stuff, a proper thriller

Well Done Goldtop

What a race, i drop it on the first lap and it was a uphill battle from the, tried to fight back but my engine lamp came on 10 minutes from the end, tried to hold on to Berger but was over driving the car, Jim and I once again had an epic battle at the end. But overhaul excited for the next one..

I feel your frustration from all the way up here in the blasted north MJ
These Gr5 cars are really tricky to drive, way too much power for the chassis. In 1st gear most of the cars, not just these
high power ones tend to spin wheels for fun, that final chicane (the bus stop replacement) was the reason I put off
using this track, although most of the track is a great rush in these, I felt that chicane rather spoiled it, same as the
1st chicane at Monza. I just had to learn how to stumble through it as best as I could, the cut tracks are very kind
in some places at this Spa, you can abuse that last chicane massively, same at the fast left before it.
I quite enjoyed it, though I may have a trace of masochism in my make up  Roll Eyes had some fun trying to keep Mr Stig
behind up to the end, John went past after his off and then ran away into the distance at an unearthly pace  alien
I have no concept of how the front runners managed to get round 7 ior so secs faster than my best efforts  I Am Not Worthy

Been looking forward to this race for weeks and it didn't disappoint. Got lucky on the first lap when Ant went off and I took the lead but was a real nervous time having to push as much as I dare without taking risks. The chicane is a nightmare at Spa and I had to be ultra careful every time not to spin under braking. Also I'm a DFGT user so have to run auto clutch and I could feel the clutch dipping just as I was wanting to get on the power which was a bit frustrating. Maybe a shorter first gear would have helped there.

I like the Gr5 cars even with the ridiculous amounts of turbo lag/boost but I'm just glad I only race them in a sim  Smiley

WOW what a race!! got pole but wasn't quick enough off the line at the start and ended up behind Tudor.

With these cars its so easy to make a mistake which is exactly what happened and ended up in 5th which is where I stayed for the rest of the race!

great cars great race looking forward to the next encounter Smiley

Grats to Tudor for the win and the other guys I raced with for making this very close and enjoyable

Reassuring that I wasn't the only one having problems at the chicane.

I forgot about this, sat watching telly, of dubious quality, in the company of my missus. I'm betting, there's little pity for me here though... lol.
