AC GT3 @ Nürburgring - Wed 14 May 2014

[Justin Swan]

I made the foolish decision last minute to use hards... not a good plan as it turned out

Not as bad a softs didn't even make half distance.

 

[Ovidiu Barabula]

Really bad race for me, got punted 3 times at the NGK Shikane Thinking I may be braking earlier than some guys.... Then later (lap16?) I missed my braking point at T1 (Yokohama) and hit a guy (sorry forgot name) Still was big fun, but one to forget and move on :S Thanks to Bram and the Gang!

That was me in lap 16 I got knocked out of the track 3 times in this race. At one point I was in 18th position and made my way up to 11th pos. Was a fun race and I think we can increase the number of laps and take it a bit more slowly, hopefully next race will be better for all of us.

That's RD for hosting the server and managing these events! Assetto Corsa is a really good racing sim! and it shows even more in these "closed" type of races.

Was actually positivly surprised over how good the medium tires were, they felt pretty stable the whole race, maybe a bit difficult to get the temp up in them though.

Server 2

After a great quallifing in 4th I lost several positions after contacts in lap 1 and 3 (lap 3 T4 was a big one). On lap 1 in T5 I was on the inside, did brake reasonable early and still collided with @Slawek Wiszczor , sorry about that.
Managed to overtake 5 (1 laped) cars going from 13th to 8th.

I can't remember any impact, are you sure it was me?

 

[Georg Siebert]

I can't remember any impact, are you sure it was me?

Yes, I'm pretty sure.
Did you have the blue-ish livery on your Mclaren?
Did you see a 'dashing' BMW in your mirror on your inside into T5?
I felt this car on the outside turned in, not seeing me and mine went into the grass.

On the other hand, the precurser was my decision to take a risk on the 1st lap of a 20 lap race.

 

[H34d5h07]

For the race I used mediums. During Q I picked soft, but It just did not feel good.
Then when there were like 2-3 minutes left, I decided to try hard, and somehow I were faster. I did not gain any positions, but I were half a second faster. I should had started with hard during P to get better feeling and understanding. Becuase during race, at lap 15-16 I started to slide alot. However, they were still pretty good during breaking, so that was cool.

So it was me but I didn't see you at all, probably was concentrated on driving, I am sorry for that.

Oh yes indeed, but... there are (still) people out there who might have "forgot" about reading them... (although you shouldn't need to read them to know something that basic.)

At some point a couple of people will regret that they haven't read the rules and all of a sudden find them selves locked out from the online awesomeness

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I was so frustrated having to turn right all the time and enter the start / finish straight while my heart kept saying; TURN LEFT TURN LEFT.

Just because we can, lets turn left next week http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/gt3-nürburgring-nordschleife-wed-21-may-2014.87538/

 

[James Woods]

sorry for missing this one, i completely and utterly forgot it was tonight. Can only apologise guys. Is the first race i ever missed.

 

[Dave Stephenson]

No worries, @Dave Stephenson

I saw you off track and thought you'd stay there, so I kept on the throttle. The moment you turned back towards the road it was too late for me to avoid. Happens.

I thought I was wide enough for you to fit fully on the astro. Couple that with my poor reactions to the shout and well, let the chaos begin. Lesson learned.

 

[Stelios]

I also picked hards. Bad decision i tell you. Lesson learned

Sorry Ovidiu

I totally missed my braking marker and could not avoid you..... My bad...
I have not raced properly in a couple of years due to work etc and I am a bit rusty
Still, it was good fun and I am loving the GT3, great racing!

 

[Brian Clancy]

@Dave Stephenson Why has Yoda starting training a SLUG in the ways of the force??? LMAO 'With the Force is strong Nigel Mansell'

 

[Ricoow]

If that was you who came up on the inside after me doing a bad chicane? Then from my point of view you simply hit me in the side and pushed me off track, hence me going vocal and airing my... not so happy feelings.

Yeah that was me, for me it was as if you came into me cus I simply went straight on, even slightly to the right (my setup pulls my car slightly right due to the toe setting I had)
I'd say it was a slight wheelbanging gone wrong

Yes, we'll just write it down as a twitch in the game then.

Here´s the Highlights of my Race. Enjoy!

Looking at the incident with @Toni Anicic (15:45 in the video)
I have to admit that it was also partially my fault, losing it on the brakes.
It´s hard to say if there was contact before, or enough space for my car on the right...

I´d call it a racing incident.
I hope that i´ve proven that i could go quicker in the race once i passed you, and you don´t feel cheated on your victory.

Thanks again everybody for a nice and fair race. See you next time!

 

[H34d5h07]

@Georg Ortner

If I give you a cookie, will you share your Z4 setup with me? Your car looks so smooth and seems to handle so nice!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Lol at giving thumbs up when passing a driver.... in game

 

[H34d5h07]

@Bram Hengeveld

Well, giving the finger might not be so nice, when capturing the race on camera
