UKGTR Season 7 Lower Endurance (GT2/3) - Brno - Feb 3

[MortenS]

I see we can only use GT2/3 cars. But when I select GT2 and GT3 in a quickrace I only get a few cars. But when I go to the practice server I can choose even GTC G3 and probably other cars as well. Which is correct?

I think the server is set up so you can practice for any Brno event in the future, including upper endurance with GT1's and GTC's.

Spot on JR, we usually leave the practice server will all classes available so people can practice early for the other classes.

Thanks

[Zacari]

Think I'm gonna struggle here, the 360 feels really poor and I can't seem to hit on a good setup!  Anyone got any Q/R times in GT2 yet

[Reign Man]

Lost connection with about a min left in quali.     Not able to get back in time!!!!

Seems the god of racing doesn't want me to have any fun.

So angry right now I could smack a cute baby rabbit.....right in the face!!!

Hope you all have/had a good race

Same here Reign Man, Disgusted....Bloody Disco with a minute or so left till the end of qually .  Couldnt get back in on time, two sundays in a row now ive had problems.

Ah well, cyas next time i guess.

[Taj Fangio]

Had a "great" newbie race 
Sorry to the Beemer I tapped, entirely my fault.

puntured a rear tyre and got stuck in the sand, couldn't get back to the pits.
hope I last a bit longer next time 

[Truetom]

Sorry Evert, thought you were to give me space through the esses, so I went beside you. Tap and you were off. Tried to hit your front to spin you back, but it didn't go. Waited, but the race was spoiled. That and bloody worn tyres were too much, so I quit. 

TT

[MortenS]

Don't know what happened. Did 3 sec slower on quali than I did on practice, then in the race I made too many mistakes. Also had to take hard rear tires which gave me no rear grip, so I'm pretty sure I'll give the BMW a go in the future.

[psuedo]

not good for me either tonight.....again. 

a second down on pb for quali and nearly 3 secs a lap down on praccy times in race setup?....

had a couple of nice rear end battles though....good stuff lads .....went out in the end through excessive tyre wear I presume. Really struggling to turn in anywhere and ended up tickling a tyre wall....which in the viper means you lose the front end...wheels and all ...didn't know I had lost the front wheel though...tried to limp back to pits but the engine blew after about 100 yds. oh well...I am really neading some more praccy time.

grats to winners etc.

[Madd-RIP]

I had a good fight with Dave and SBG for a while but got greedy on the power and spun  , then when I went in for my pitstop, the engine wouldn't turn off  , so wasted about 10 seconds there and when I started to catch back up to Simon and Dave in the last few laps, my pedals stopped working on the last corner  .
Not my night I think, a real shame as I was reasonably competetive and was looking forward to a good race long scrap.
Ah well on to the next one!

Grats to both podiums too. 

[pribeiro]

Not a good race again
Had a good scrapp with Zacari and Roadrunner for a while, i hope my defense
driving was fair
Bi-turbo have a nice top speed and torque, but i feel it a bit heavy, and after 15 laps,
i began to struggling with lack of front grip
At least i didnt blow the engine this time  
Well done to both podiums

Cheers

Even though I thought I had a reasonable setup before hand, when it came to practice sessions for the race I was so far off I had to make some more major adjustments. They seemed to work and I was ok pace in qually just ahead of Gizmo's Viper CC.

Race started ok, although Gizmo soon powered past me in his Viper CC I then had a GT2 right behind me and I guess his extra grip and my lower grip and braking power saw him nudge me into the gravel at T1. This lost me about 26-27 seconds and damage to my rear.

So right at the back after that, the first half of the race up to the pit stop was about seeing if I could get back into the back of the GT3 pack and indeed after quite a while I managed to catch and pass Ade and Pseudo in their Viper CCs as they were fighting with each other.

I decided to pit at half distance for fresh rubber and also got my rear bumper repaired. Came out of the pits about 7 or 8 seconds behind Gizmo. With much less fuel in the car, the rear repaired and new medium tyres I was lapping faster than before by quite a lot and after about half of the second stint I'd caught Gizmo up. Then for the remainder of the race I tried to find a way past Gizmo but even right down to the last lap he didn't make a big enough mistake for me to even have a decent try. I was all over him in the corners, but on the straights he just powered away so it was impossible to make an outbrake without a major mistake from him and it didn't come.

The Z3M really doesn't like the heavy fuel load. With full tanks I was lapping quite a lot slower than I would hope for and despite the amount of time it can make in the pits with no need to take on fuel it's not quite fast enough to get up to the 911 GT3s. If I hadn't lost 26 seconds at the start I think I would have ended up between Gizmo and the 911GT3s up front in no mans land, so in the end the off gave me a better race.

Maybe it could do with a bit more torque in the next skin pack? Anyway, I'll stick with it as I'm still learning it and how to set it up and it was a darn sight better this race than Silverstone with a half decent setup.

Well done to all the podiums and winners. Time to go watch the Superbowl!

I didnt see owt wrong...Though there was TT, Andy? and Evert up close as well..was a mega exciting race for first 10 laps or so  ..eventually pitstops cycled through an despite his spin Zacari came out 15 secs infront of me  , but Gazzer ended up behind..so i was goin bit to quick to keep infront, an spun it into tyres exiting final corner...day done...

Those first 10 laps though  ...probably had me ratios a little wrong, cos i was losing out a little to Zac & Pr down the straits...the bi-turbo was just to strong at the end of them, though M3 & 360 did seem a little stronger coming onto straits an for the first 1/2 or so..then turbo power kicked in...the long straits were to long..an the short ones to short. But i`d take 10 laps of racing like that any day of the week
