Sign me up please.

Just tried the mod for the first time, feels great though I'm having consistency issues still, but I'll make sure to get some laps in before the event.

You said something about consistency issues? http://www.racedepartment.com/media/photos/practicing-for-club-race.8158/ You are not alone bro

[Tuomas Saarinen]

I quit in agony. Sorry guys, next to no experience with open wheelers so I left to avoid ruining anyone elses race spinning once every two laps. Off to practice!

edit/ I'll admit I was too eager to join this one in the first place.

I quit due to damaging my car twice
These cars are soo incredibly twitchy and just not for the 'regular' AC driver. Even the Exos 125 S1 drives easier IMO
I prefer the Abarths so much more, easy to drive, open for everybody, close racing but yet hard to become an alien and master it.

 

[Tuomas Saarinen]

Yeah mine was pretty banged up as well, I even spun in the pit lane going in to fix it and got stuck between the pit walls in the process. lol

 

[Rob Carver]

I had to leave on lap 13 as my brake pedal collapsed after i clawed my way back to 6th/7th

My biggest apologies to whoever i went into the back of in lap 4. Was a nice clean overtake by them and i totally missed my braking point. I did let them past 3 corners later but no excuse. I deserve to be banned. Again - im sorry. I think it may have been Henri

No reason for banning when you know you are wrong and you just followed the correct protocol. Don't be too harsh for yourself, I have tapped a few people as well during my RD career and they promoted me to staff member
Accidents happen and sometimes you have to man up and take your blame and everything will be fine afterwards.

 

[Ralf Ääro]

Normally I am not the kind of guy who leaves a race before finish. But these damn Penalties are ruining the fun for me. I know, I should not spin out or somethin. But whats the deal of getting punished, running just a little wide on the exit of the last corner before the long "back straight" (that leads to the final chicane)??

And when I spun into the gras, hit the barrier than I get a penalty on top of that!
Thats just annoying. And I am thinking of don't participate in a RD Club Event anymore until this Penaltie-Thing is done.

Sorry for the rant.

I am currently watching a great battle for first place between @Geoffroy Tassenoy and @Liviu Tiron heading into the final lap

 

[Rob Carver]

Great news! The brake pedal is back together Dont you just love the reliability of fanatec

 

[Sheamus Power]

You guys really shouldn't leave before the end of the race, I started in 12th and got 7th by the end of the race because of all the DNFs
And that was with at least a dozen spins. I took front-wing damage on the first lap because someone locked-up/slid into me on the chicane after eau rouge, and from then on I started spinning at places I never span before in practice or qualifying. About halfway through I managed to adapt to the new instability of the car, so had a pretty decent go from then on (still one or two spins though).
Pretty fun race, even though I didn't really get to battle anyone, I was so far behind/ahead of some people the only cars I saw were the ones passing me in the pit-lane when I was pitting, or @Henri Sinik I think, who was catching me on the last few laps

 

[Giuseppe Marconi]

not so much fun for me. Incident at first turn (as usual ) putted me in last position then lap by lap i gained again my 5th position...but i forgot where pit entry is...... .... other seconds lost. At the end i lost engine at 22th lap to complete another unlucky race. I love this car but i think it need a bit more grip on front tyres....but i know David Dominguez likes undeerster car.

Whom which i failed cause too much coffee during the race and my feet got really twitchy.

 

[Emil Praga]

Was a fun race for me, managed some nice overtakes, i think i was maybe the fastest on the track lap by lap overall, was on P1 infront of @Geoffroy Tassenoy gap around 6 seconds, but i did a silly mistake on T1 lap 7th or so, unexpectedly i lost the rears at the exit and dropped to P4 after that, pitted on lap 10th for Mediums, crashed at pit entry like a newb....lost much time in pits because it was 1st time i experienced pits in AC, after that i was on 7th place, got back to P4, later got to 3rd and 2nd, got behind Geoffrey who was P1, i got a stupid 5 seconds penalty because i went a little bit outside the white line in last chicane before last streight line, i pitted again for Super Softs in lap 20th, wich was a bad decision, finished on P4.
