RRE Season 7 (2020) Race Room Formula Ford - Monza - Jun 4

[Geoffers]

Quite enjoyed that, starting to like these cars although they can be frustrating at times.

Wasn't quite fast enough to stay with Markus & Frex in race 1, but caught up when they seemed to have a disagreement late in the race & got in between them. Once with Markus the slipstream kept me in touch until I overdid it into T1 & spun. Took an age to get going again so finished  4th.

This gave me a bit of an advantage on the reverse grid for race 2 & once I had got past Rog I made my escape before Frex & Markus got near the front. Once they did I was able to limit their gains to around a couple of tenths per lap until Frex disappeared. Markus still took time out of me nearly every lap but still had just enough in hand to take the win.

Congrats to Markus on his win & to Frex & Pete on the podiums.  

Welcome to Birger, glad you enjoyed it, & good to see Rog put in an appearance.  

Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I seem to have issues with the race order & time gaps at the top of the screen. Most of the time last night it was only showing Pete repeatedly with just the occasional flash of everyone. Have noticed it the past 2-3 weeks, sometimes Ok, sometimes only showing one other driver & other times just me. Any ideas? It works ok when I am doing leaderboard challenges.

The times were there for everyone for me, but, they did change occasionally to show people 20 secs behind then suddenly 2 secs
and I mean other than when I was stuck in a barrier   Perhaps your conn is dropping some info packets?

[picnic]

I didn't notice any timing anomalies last night but I thought I'd been disco'd at one point when everyone disappeared for best part of half a lap in race 2

[frex]

Geoff, are you using the standard position bar or one of the WebHUDs? I think a problem like this of corrupted or missing HUD elements can be caused by incorrectly installing a WebHUD app, or trying to revert back to the standard HUD without correctly uninstalling an app you were using previously.

Also check your Steam launch parameters.

[Geoffers]

No Frex, not ever installed any of the 3rd party apps, just using the standard HUD. It only seems to have happened since the last major update. It's no big deal because there is still the timing which comes up on the left when someone crosses the S/F line. Will check the Steam launch though.

Just can’t drive open wheel cars carefully enough to survive a race. Just kissed the Armco and wiped off my near side front wheel.      A touring or GT car would have rubbed off some paint and continued  racing!    Perhaps the next track will be more foregiving.

Hmm ok, I don't think it will be the launch parameters then if you have never used one of the Web HUDs. Maybe the last update introduced a bug, or maybe it altered one of your settings somewhere (that has certainly happened to me before).

Under Gameplay Settings/HUD Settings what do you have "Position bar relative" set to? Mine is Off.

[BillThomas]

My settings have changed for the last 3 races - oversteer each time out of corners! 

[Geoffers]

Did you try my Brands Hatch setup Bill?

OK, mine was 'On', turned it off & tried in single player mode & it seems OK, will see what happens at Zandvoort for the GTR2s.

@Bill: try Geoffers, and also try my Silver setup, which is a bit less tail happy than what I used at Monza

I used a lot Geoffers setup from Brands Hatch (still aggresive). But at race day i received (page 2) a setup from phspok (at the first moment not that fast, but a lot more stable). During the race i broke my lap record.
Race 1: some minor slips but recovered only 1 not in Parabolica
Race 2: some minor slips but revoverd and after my personal lap record i lost my focus, and didn't know, if i already past 2 or 3 floodlights. Appareantly i missed my breaking point 

In T2 (right turn towards the second straight), i get a lot of incidents for no reason?

I find I can't go fast without confidence, and have tried many Alien's    setups over the years, most are usually
potentially faster than my own, but I am unable to get the best out of them, So I am often faster with
a slower setup because I can drive it to the limit easier. Some would doubt Geoff as being an Alien, but I am sure
he has been probed in the past...

Don't worry about the "incidents" it's something they introduced recently, and our server is set to ignore them.

You really need to purchase a Merc C "Klasse" for Thursday Birger It is a very different drive than the FJnr
