@Henri Sinik
Thx for the video Henri! I've noticed, besides the frequent countersteering , that you had engaged full throttle just before and right at the lights went out at the start. You also wrote in the video description you raced without assists, without Traction Control.
Did you had auto gears engaged just for the start or why do you think your method is easier/faster, than balancing the throttle and the traction at the start?

No I don't have auto gears or any other assists on they make you only slower ..., I practice starts and always think this is the best place to gain positions, I want to save fuel before start so I fully apply gas at final red light, if I would had done it right after I exit from menu and wait 1-2 min with fully applied gas I would had lost around 1-2l of fuel, this car has so much grip so why wouldn't you just floor it at start?

 

[Georg Siebert]

My concern is to find what is better/easier/faster, either your approach to give it full throttle or to balance it and the car's traction at the start. If the tyres slip and generate smoke, which was the case with the drivers in front of you at this race, they, I think, waste traction this way.

Had an awesome time in my first ever Race Department Club Race. Thanks to @Georg Siebert and to everyone. Sorry for the contact @Ken Baldwin. I had just seen the replay and I was nowhere near ahead of you when I tried my overtake move which took us both out.

@Kevin Hagendoorn : props to you mate. I've reinstalled my gtx driver, thx for help guys. So the next race is a test of realibility for me.

We changed some server side settings around and now appears to be stable.

nothin' ,)

To bad you had trouble with the connection @Niall Geoghegan . Hope it will be fixed. No problem on the incident, was not your fault.

This is one of my favorite combos. Brno and GTs, put openwheelers and still will be my favorite. Just love the track.

I had a good car setup, but I messed with the gearing and was redlining in 3rd on most of the slow part of the track. Also, probably a bit much downforce. The leaders where on a league of their own. Also, I could not get a comfortable gap away from @Kevin Hagendoorn so had to push with no time to relax.

Thanks everyone for racing. So far I had enjoyed this.

Why dont we have eny race today wen we have a time?

There was a race planned for today but it was postponed to next week (read Exos Abu dabi race)

Maybe you have the time and the enthusiasm to race today, however that was not evident with other drivers for the scheduled, and eventually postponed, Exos S1 @ Abu Dhabi race earlier.
There are plenty of diverse events comming up in the future.
