Rolling start
Once the light goes green, the leader gradually speeds up to around 160 km/h (not too fast, not too slow), all other cars follow in one line with the same speed. No brake test, no swaying. If you spin your car you drop back to last position and start from there. When exiting the Eau Rouge the leader can go full throttle, and the rest of the pack follows.

Many thanks for the set up Sergio. It helped a lot. The first race I tried really hard to just stay on the track and had just one little spin, but I was slow.

In the 2nd race my internet connection died at the end of the 1st straight. First time this has happened to me in a race.

Hope it went better for the rest of you!

I just had my first 'nks.exe has stopped responding'

Great fun tonight though, had a good race 1 with a bit of fighting for position with Nigel Atkins (I think), but the tyres took a bashing and I made some mistakes towards the end to finish 4th.

2nd race I had an off early but thought I might be able to catch up those ahead, then netkar died.

nks.exe crash here too in race 2.

 

[Sérgio Marques]

Another NKP crash in the last lap! It was going well until that.

Many thanks for the set up Sergio. It helped a lot.

Welcome, glad it help.

Aw, shame about the crashes, hoped all got fixed :frown:. Seems like rain won't be a regular thing.

Anyway, loved the driving experience here. Even though I wasn't even close to my practice times. Even got lapped in race 2
Also thanks to Sergio, 4 seconds faster lap times with your setup :good:

Cheers all, and again, sorry Tudor . Easier combo next week, I promise.

Had fun tonight, someone told me about this race yesterday and it sounded interesting from the start, in the end it i gave it a go and found a super fun combo, although i can understand that for some this was a bit over the edge of having fun since the limited grip availeble.

Personly i always enjoy the driving needed under these conditions, and i could get the results positiv for me to night.

Cu next week i guess

I don't think it's the rain, we had plenty of rain racing the past few weeks and not a single crash. Maybe it has something to do with the session or the server, I really don't know. Sadly the crash dump file is 0kb so I can't even send it to Kunos.

 

[Senad Subasic]

I don't think there's been much non-rain crashes. Could also be track related. We'll see when one of the default ones gets some bad weather :good:

 

[SteffenLS]

I think the rain is very good to implement in the races. It gives more challenge in drivingstyle. I had some focusing trouble in tonights racing and even beeing prob. the worst in both races I still found this combination car/track/weather very good.

 

[Sérgio Marques]

One more vote for a few more raining races, I only say that I will try to be there, because in the next months I will be running 3 different championship's, so it wont be easy to join here.

Thanks to Senad and RD.

 

[Rudy van Buren]

+1 on the more rain races, anything already decided about the combo from next week?

 

[Senad Subasic]

We'll have rain then :good:

But for next week, something simple. Abarth, no rain, just have to decide on a track. Laguna Seca, Blackwood and Montreal. Will try them later today and decide which is most suitable.

3 championships Sergio? You're crazy :eek:. Best of luck with those :trophy:

 

[Rudy van Buren]

would take laguna then if u were u, other 2 have to much long straights

Please don't tell my wife!

Thanks!

Ah, last time I drove Montreal, it was in GP3, not sure how long it really is
Blackwood I know is long, but it was recommended, so giving it a go.
Laguna was my first thought, but no clue if the car will work there.

If all else fails, there's always Newbury :tongue:

I am realy sorry that i didnt joined yesterday,one of my friends called me and said that i must be at his home in 10 minutes,i thought that somethings happen and i runned there,he just wanted to see me cause he left of town today for studdies.Sorry again that i didnt joined.

 

[Senad Subasic]

No worries Christian, I've missed races for less

I'm not against rain at all, just that I'm still finding my way with NK and the last 2 races have been a little extreme. The Abarth is the other end of the spectrum and is actually the only car I don't like in the sim. There's just no pleasing some people
