If it's a logitech G25 style shifter just remove the gaiter and surround. It'll work fine then 

Also, from looking at your speed trace I don't think you're running the right gearing, you're losing loads of time on me when you change into 5th..

Max, use paddles in this time - see my laptime.

thanks, but its a frex  .  Anyway I wasted this morning taking it apart and after a quick test I think its Ok now, I guess we'll see tonight.

oh, so do you wanna share the right gear ratios?

I know it might be odd but I'd rather not, it just feels wrong in a manual car these days

I know, this is "like eating rotten fish and drinking donkey's urine".     But i do this every time in the classic series and still alive  
See you in race anyway

I'm so far off the pace it's embarrassing! Look, I'm quite happy to drop out if grid places are limited.

so whats new?    get your ass on the grid and put some laps in

Looks like you're only out in 5th
Alexely seems to equal my acceleration when you factor in his paddles - take a look at his setup would be my advice

Pace here will be purely down to practice laps once you have your gears and tire pressures sorted, the entry and exit from Tosa is so critical that it's worth more than a fancy setup on it's own. Same goes for Rivazza, and to a lesser extent, Acque Minerale too.
Acceleration onto the straights is the single most important thing here - drifting out of those corners simply will not work where lap times are concerned

[FullMetalGasket]

Is the race server running? Only the skins are wrong if so as I'm in a red car and Alexey is in something green...

Despite the nasty old cars they are quite amusing.

First race I was following Kai closely down the main straight at the end of lap 1, getting myself in a position to overtake into the first sharp left, but his car warped in front of me and we collided. Sorry, not much I can do with the warp there. My ping was about 13 to the server so I guess either server or Kai's end? Ruined his race unfortunately. Eventually had a battle with Alexei which was fun to the end.

Second race, started 7th, took it really cautiously in the melee at the start and ended up almost last. Fought my way up to 4th to throw it away on the penultimate lap but recover to 5th.

So sorry Pete for 1st lap 2nd race. Was make clear space for you and FMG before uphill turn and than in exit stupidly go too wide to you  Shame to me.. I need to be penalized! Please report and accident! Or let MJ penalised me as admin. At Lap 2 was make a noob wall contact and ruined my car and Fabry cant avoid this....Sorry Fabri i cant do anything here.. Stupid 2nd race. I've tryed to be so accurate in 1st turns of race 2 and no sucess...
Thanks Simon for battle in 1st race. Was fun!

Don't really understand how / what / when AC allocates skins to cars, thought I had some idea but guess not. Everyone in the results tonight had their own entry in the entry_list.ini file so I would have expected them to have the skin contained in there. I've not checked that everyone's skin is the one listed in whatever topic they're in but if they worked before I don't see why they shouldn't have worked tonight.

Thanks for the apology Alexey, I was trying so hard to not fall off after being spooked with cars coming both sides of me up the hill so to be helped was frustrating. I managed to gain a couple of places after and my pace was such I probably ended up where I would have anyway. For me this has been the hardest Alfa / track combo so far.

[MaxVeloce]

How much fuel did anyone have for a race distance, I had 32L for race 2 but my engine did a weird cut 100m from the line.  More weirdly after I stopped it then ran Ok with full power, so I'm not convinced it was that

Damn , i just watched replay and i was no gas pressed at all here trying to free space for you.. But stupid lazy alfasuspention  still go the car to the right side.. I hate this car this moments.   

[Simon Gymer]

33 and 32 litres.

[Baikal]

31 here.
FMG, can you please send me a race setup? I have interested this combo this week and had a good practice here before the race and was found my setup not so bad, but has not enough free space for maneuring... each cm of track  has in count with.. I want to see yours and take a test with it how it should feels and work more properly. Thanks!
