[Hiroshi Awazu]

Lol! two for two out of fuel. It says that i dnf'd with suspension on R2 but no i ran out of fuel again (facepalm) I figured that 17 laps of fuel would be ample but i guess not hehe!

These Lotus's are pretty tough cars. I SMOKED the wall twice losing control coming into turn 1 and my car was still ok

Laguna is a great track, had fun. Good race everyone

Hey Hiroshi

I always use XD to calculate fuel for the race; with add-on cars one should never trust the fuel in garage.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

sorry for my un timely departure in race 2 got it all wrong goin in to a left hand bend went in to gravel came back on to track looking around like mad sideways at the rear hoping i would,nt hit any1..unfortuanatley i hit @Ken Hunter sorry pal not intententional,,carried on racing and plowed straight in to the wall at top of cork-screw ,no steering??.so i just quit out shouting and swearing at myself..

 

[Milos Litavec]

hallo, sorry for first race i didn´t participate because of work-overtime.
also sorry for that i hit somebody slightly but cause make him sliding out
of track- in the future i will carry of brake much softer and earlier , mainly on
cold brakes /tyres.
Better i will no comment my racing performance as it is one big shame
but i enjoy evening - LaSeca is one of my favourite tracks.

@Antonio Tavares
thanks man, my PLR is ok now so i can join to afterparty nearby finishline
i also modified in Graphic Options this line

Glance Angle="1.18000"

this allow bigger left/right glancing angle /cca 180 degree range/
it helps when going out from garage and also in race as i use analog glancing.
default setting is 0.75 90 degree range only.

c u on the track
