UKAC Season 3 Blancpain - Monza - May 31

[Jeffrey]

Only reason I was thinking of switching to the Audi was because so far I've seen some great fights up ahead and the Nissan just can't keep up. It wasn't that bad in Misano as the 3 Lambo's up ahead were battling eachother, but as soon as they were clear I wasn't closing any gaps no matter how hard I pushed the car ( and abusing the track limits abit   )

So I'm hoping the Nissan will be better on some tracks, like Monza or maybe Paul Ricard. But I'll stick with the Godzilla this season 

Btw, I thought last season the Nissan was somewhat the best of the rest ( on most tracks )  with the 650s quickest as usual, while the Lambo was more at the bottom. Did they change so much during that time ?

How competitive is the new Audi anyway? Somebody here stated there were some complaints about it on the official forum.

I think last season the cars were on V7 tyres and they have all switched to V10 AFAIK. I think that switch favoured some  cars more than others, which is why I'm surprised the Lambo is so good.

But still, I'd rather drive the Nissan, as I enjoyed that car more and it's by far the best looking car on the grid.

I can't make this round so see you at the next one. Shame as I like Monza and it's a pit stop race. Then again I'm fed up of getting mullered down all the straights in the Merc, so perhaps it is a blessing in disguise.

You don't know what a Gt race looks like, you can play with destruction derby if you consider fair that overtake. It's more suited to your rules.
You can ask to Jeffrey if I took advantage on him in a situation like that of Brands. The reality is that hurts not to be capable of a clean overtake. Learn to overtake before you type such empty words like. Never seen overtake like yours in this place. Never!

Pretty much exactly what happened between us, but i didn't make my gap..

I'll tell you what..  If you make a mistake and create a gap, i am going to put my car in it, if you don't want to touch me.. then i suggest you do something about it.. because i'm racing to for a win, i'm not racing to drive around in a convoy of pretty GT cars..

At Misano the Audi seemed somewhere in the middle I'm guessing. Did a 37:00 with the default after a few laps, while with the Nissan I just barely got a sub 37 in with alot of setup tweaking.
Only thing I wasn't very fond of was the fact that as soon as you hit the brakes the car went straight as an arrow and no steering helped. Though it was quite nimble in the slow corners.

[ChrisR]

the GTR is slowest on Barc Moto, Spa and Nurb GP out of all the cars in the line up.. it really is (on these tracks anyway) the slowest car, based from RSR.

the new audi is a tad slower than it should be and they are working on it atm.

[Manteos]

Yep. Usually when someone make insinuations on the unfairness of other drivers the chaos starts. I agree with Mark and i apologize with all the other drivers, but you can't type that kind of words against someone and pretend you don't receive some harsh words. We say in italy: 'lanciare il sasso e nascondere la mano'. (Throw the stone and hide your hand).
You should have think to this issue before the champ started. Maybe if we had more time to try these cars we would have made a different choice, but it's really different by what Chris was stating yesterday with his allusions about an unfair choice by our side.
I add that in Brands Hatch race I had some great even battle with Maikel too, so I really don't understand what the point is. You said the 650 was not a car eligible for 'aliens', so I reported that to my teammates, stop.

About the incident, just consider a visit to the eye-watcher Mate... don't be afraid. I will bump into your car next time and pass you without any regard. Be sure of it.

[ChrisR]

  you do what you feel you need to do..

Gavino, personally, I dont think you should change you car to suit the rest of us. If we are not quick enough then thats our weakness and up to us to get faster. Plus, there is plenty of good racing throughout the pack still. Totally up to you but personally I dont think you should change just because of the rest of us drive like Miss Daisy 

Exactly this. I don't mind Gavino driving into the distance during a race. Only thing that annoys me, is that I won't be able to match his pace, no matter how much practice I put into it   :'( .

Sometimes in life, we have to end up being the bridesmaid and never the bride or in my case, the ugly sister that never gets an invite 

[Simon Gymer]

It saddens me, as I'm sure it does a number of other drivers, sitting on the side lines watching this thread, that we have a number of different people talking about wanting to bump each other off instead of racing without incident.

If this league descends into "win at all costs" over "trying to win, but also trying to avoid incident" then I for one will go elsewhere.

IMHO one of you guys in charge need to start clamping down on discussing incidents publicly and educating people about the league rules and the standards upon which it is founded and that goes for some people with "staff status" next to their names.

How about any thing thats been discussed already above this line stays above this line and is not to be discussed further. If it continues in this thread and appears below this line then you get a race ban as the rules state discussing driving incidents and driving standards need to be done it private or reported to the mods. Simples  

I'm sure we can all agree on this now??

I have already asked a couple of times to stop discussing overtaking moves and allegations, then I come back and another comment has been added  i'lljust delete them from now on so don't waste your time typing them.
And any contacts will be dealt with through the normal process as long as we have a replay to watch, especially any deliberate contacts. I don't get enough spare time to waste being a peacemaker, just running this series uses up time I could spend practising

Quite right too.

You are okay with that skin, nice choice  . Hopefully Pete will pick this up and edit the driver file as he has the latest that needs editing for Felix too.
Quite a grid now
