Thread: RDLMS S1 - Round 2 - Brüneck (8 hours)

well it is still on for december 19

the only what is not done yet is the official starting time, which I think it might be the same starting time as round one or 1 hour early or 2 hours earlier. But I still need to evaluate that :)

oh btw
team owners will recieve a msg in an hour or so
so better contact your team owners :)
I will also post here or a new thread to remind everyone to contact their team owners

Hello, our team (Racing For Limburg ) still does not have an approval yet. So i think we cannot join the testrace...

Is there something to do about that issue? Because we will get in trouble for the actual race.

My personal driver profile is also not activated (Luc Thijs)

Grtz.

Luc send a PM to Chris and turn up for the race today, I am sure there will be room and have a word with Chris then.

I have activated 120 accounts last week. A lot of them have been deleted as the members were a) no racing club members b) account filled in completely wrong.

So if you can't login under your real name try creating a new one that fits the requirements :)

Hello,
our team chief (sbi-racing) is not there for this test race and he forgot to tell us the password of the server. So if someone could send it to me it would be very nice, otherwise we have to retired from this race.

Thanks

Marc

Edited : everything ok now

the password for this night is just the racing club password, which can be found here

Massive apology to Gary for ruining his afternoon. The formation lap was good, as was the start. However, I got caught out having to jump on the brakes again into turn 1, to avoid contact with the P2 ahead, and lost it. The ensuing carnage took him out of the race and damaged others. Sorry to all those disrupted by my rather embarrassing incident.

Last testrace was without problems, this one wasn't:

Most worrying: I had two complete system hangups, the first in practice session, after reboot and rejoin I had the same in qualifying session. Both crashes happened when I was not driving(!)

At the start of the race I saw quite some lagging going on, most visible was Hart-Jones lagging 20mtr back and hitting Teo Bubicic during the warmuplap. After avoiding the first corner accident wreckage I lost some time letting spun drivers get by again, and raced Teo on the clock, with a steady gap of about 8 to 9 seconds. We were the only two GT1s on track anyway so when he crashed out I lost all interest which resulted me putting the Corvette into a wall as well.

I could have continued after repair but frankly there wasn't much left to race for. I hope next time we'll have a larger test field to keep the testraces more interesting. Thanks for hosting/racing and see you next time!

No worries Ric bud :),i have a terrible habit of not guessing the right way to avoid,in all honesty that time i was a bit like a rabbit in the headlights....saw a cloud of smoke,as i arrived the smoke cleared a bit,and there was your car...BOOM :P :D,i thought this G25 would maybe have some kind auto-avoidance system built in,but apparantly they dont :( :P.

Overall im happy with my progression in those LMP's,they are cars i used to avoid with my old wheel,but even with a homemade knock up setup i was threatening some respactable laps here and there in practice.

On a not so happy note...on the first start i done my very first using clutch pedal instead of brake pedal howler since getting this new wheel,sorry whoever it was ahead i slammed,thank god it got restarted so that got cancelled out,hopefully to never happen again :).

I saw that incident but I was not part of it. Pitty some still feel its bumper cars out there. My back end took a few hits and one person even felt the need to push me, from behind, into the gravel at the chicane.

Remember THERE IS NO SET BRAKING POINT. That and YOU CANNOT WIN THE RACE IN TURN 1.
