..... - on my replay your car (and Bergers) are invisible so I can't work out what your reasons were, but I'm sure your pace would have got you ahead of me later in the race.
That's a well known bug Steve. If you go straight from the race and load the replay, several cars will be invisible. Just exit the replay and load it again; then all will show up.
Enjoyed the race. It handles like a pig, but I still love the GT40, for the sheer challenge of driving it, and with Ducfreak's sound mod, it just sounds so deliciously raw.
When guest drivers announced their participation, I feared it would be the alien kind, like our guest drivers always seem to be. Sure enough, when I joined the server, Berger was posting frankly absurd laptimes. Can't complain about qual - until today, my pb had been a 2:24.5, so well chuffed with getting a low 23 lap.
Completely mugged by Steve off the line, and at T1 Ziu was already through - was that part of a master plan ? Hung on to 5th on L1, and on L2 passed Geoffers after he and Ziu touched. Right after Berger spun in front of me, so suddenly I was in 3rd, chasing Ziu. He made it past Steve, whom I then chased. Made it past when he lost momentum after going over the grass.
Berger soon caught and passed me. Surprised to keep pace with him and Ziu over several laps, but apparently their dicing held Berger back. Then on L10, I spun when entering the first part of the final hairpin. and thus lost contact with the leaders. Desperate to get going again before Steve caught me, and just managed so. He went off on the next lap, so the threat was reduced.
Berger had gotten away from Ziu, and I had a 5-6 secs gap to the latter. Got a little closer towards the very end, but too little too late. Grats to Berger & Ziu. Commiserations to those that left, for one reason or other.
Have a peculiar problem with my replay. In the race replay, both my own and the server replay, all cars with copper coloured wheels have black wheels (I hate black wheels!). In the hot lap replay from the very same race however, all looks normal. Anyone else have this ?
Cheers,
Erling
