The sure fire way of getting rid of the slow down message is to find a safe place to slow (you can actually leave it a few corners normally if they are not too long corners) and get down under 30mph. Then just speed up again as soon as you're under 30mph and that should make it go away (sometimes it takes a couple of seconds after you've started to speed up again for it to register you were under 30mph, but it will do it). Try it in some offline practice to help you work out how best/fastest you can get rid of the warning.

Well, that was fun.  Grin

I'm not putting massive amounts of practice in for the Indy cars as I simply don't have enough to go round.  I managed to find a bit of consistency on race fuel in the practice session though and was aiming for a clean run.  I was hoping to nip into the 31s for the first time in qually but a 31.63 was a little quicker than I was expecting and probably put me a bit out of position if I'm honest.

I was a little tardy off the start but held the inside line against Karsten and just had enough up the hill to hold him off.  I saw Dan cut the chicane so was ready to nip by when he slowed down which gave me back the ground I'd lost on Simon at the start.  Sadly I then gave it back with mistakes at the last two corners out of the Boot.  The first let Karsten alongside me outside into the hairpin and then I managed to find a box full of neutrals round the hairpin which gave him the advantage down the straight forcing me to cede the next corner or take us both out by not braking.

After that Ken was behind me but I was comfortable and started to string a few corners together.  Coming into the final corner next lap though I changed down and the back snapped round.  I've studied the telemetry and can't see any reason whatsoever for it snapping like that.  I took the corner identically many, many times through the race with no issues.  I suspect it might have been a slight warp contact with Ken behind.  He was well back and I didnlt get a 4x but that's what it felt like.

I hit the wall hard backwards with a big crunch and reset immediately.  It was a good place to get a tow from and I was under way before the leaders came round so set off after the backmarkers.  Robin was first up and I caught him just before the stop, then I chased down and passed Dan's crippled car after his stop leaving Ian about 10 seconds up the road with 7 to go.  I chased him down to about 1.5 seconds at the finish but a couple of mistakes near the end prevented me having a go at 4th.

That was fun though.  Did I say that?  5th is far better than I expected after the reset.

The podium was always going to be beyond me though given their pace.  Nice pace guys.

Mmmm.  Spa next.  Might practice that. Smiley

after a dodgy first few laps  Roll Eyes {sorry Andy Undecided} I finally got into a comfy rhythm  ran long to pit-stop came out and tyres where bad for a few laps very hard handling then it settled down found myself in 4th  Huh how that happened I don't know  but it put a smile on my face until I noticed Paul was catching me in big chunks per lap {to many silly little mistakes watching split times to much instead of track  Roll Eyes } like he said though finally I kept the spot by a mere 1.5 seconds or so {sweat was pouring off me Grin} so from a lowly 9th on the grid a 4th place finish was really a big bonus  Smiley

{to many silly little mistakes watching split times to much instead of track  Roll Eyes }

You leave the split times on during the race?

I hate distractions during the race so split times go, chat messages go and I don't really like the F3 display as that's distracting too, but because for some reason that's realistic but putting tags above the cars to tell you the driver name and position isn't realistic we're forced to use F3 when we really just want the F1 display.

forgot to post anything!

Enjoyed the race and it is fast becoming my favourite car  Cool

Quali was slower than my pb, which was only a 1m31.7 anyway so would have only been one pos up the grid! First time back in the car for a while and tried an (unsuccessful) Official race. Landed on a safe setup but was just too high in downforce, and I repeatedly got drafted down the straight... by a big margin. Was too late to change it by quali so I stuck with it.

First lap i ran out of room next to Ian through the chicane and had a harmless spin (thanks for waiting mate  Wink). We had opposite setups so I was making time in the corners and he got it all back on the straight.

After everyone having issues apart from the top 3 (after your damage Dan  Wink) I was running 4th and with a damaged front wing and I spun and backed into the wall. The car was crabbing and I had to retire  Undecided

Its taking me 3 races to get back into iRacing but more or less back to my old pace  Tongue

Don't forget there is a single "fast"-tow available.

Yes. That's the only difference between a fast tow and a slow tow as they both tow at the same rate, but one fixes the car and the other doesn't. Basically, one is a complete waste of time and the other does at least fix your car. Smiley

Yes, I was surprised to get my car fixed after a tow. In the early SROU iRacing days we did have tows but they didn't have repairs. Thankfully the people on TS let me know, so cheers for that guys.

You also get the tank topped up to whatever was in your setup so a reset mid race would lose you very little time in this series if you wanted to do a Piquet. Wink  My crash was too early so I still needed to make a stop.

I've got into the habit these days of running without any of the panels unless I need them.  I have "Next Panel" on the right hand button and it's easy to quickly toggle through to get to the panel you need.
