[Reto Christiani]

bitter qualy P10 and a good race to P4 till the freakin loss of of FFB (or better restart of the wheel) made my loose 3 positions and forced me to drive from lap 28 on with a pappy wheel ... omg i was cursing here ; )
(if anybody has a solution to the wheel-restart-thingen gets a BIG beer!)

If I'm not mistaking you can map a reset ffb button in the controls section.

Thanks! but no beer Claes i have the reset-button assigned but as the wheel restarts and goes through the self-calibration steps (that was the moment i cursed the most ; ) the FFB is gone for good and needs a restart of GSC.
USB, the wheel itself, ....?

 

[Ken Hunter]

With less mistakes, i can definately get into the top twelve....
That said, i enjoyed the race tremendously and am quite happy with the end result. Pitting on lap 24 worked for me as my tyres were paste and i was falling back from the group in front of me. Came out with new shoes and caught and passed them again.
Thanks Bram and RD.

little question about the next round in Jacarepagua: which layout we will race?

 

[Mat Venn]

Really enjoyed last nights race and finished in the top 10 , Which is better than i had hoped for . Of course this now means the next race will be even harder as the 10 fastest from 1b will come to group 1a .
My bungee fix on my peddles seemed to work well , I did do some testing in the practice session for braking as i didn't want to come to turn 1 of the race start and keep on going .
I did 1 pit stop for tyres at the midway point ,which worked OK, as I soon made up ground on the people that hadn't pitted and got back into the top 10.
Only one incident that I thought was a bit wrong on lap 13 i was spun from behind after an overtake into turn 1 .Then he blasted of into the distance..
The standard of driving was excellent throughout though . Looking forward to the next round . Well done to all who took part .

Anyone from group 1b that could send the race file to Reto to add to the tace stats?

[Reto Christiani]

here you go for the results&stats group B have a great F1 GP!

 

[Philip Antonia]

Yeah I went to practice last night and didn't know which layout to choose!! I liked what I tried though .

 

[Conny Naslund]

Ouch, those were nice lap times for the 1b group.
I will be happy to reach top 10-5 in next events.
It will make great racing though. Was a bit lonely this time.
Seems to have been a clean race too.

Btw Bram.... 15incidents ? was that your salubration lap.
Laughed when I saw you knocking those boards an cones on the replay.
I just did some donuts.

they got my name wrong to.. lankett.. lol. and when we were having our battles i was arnold.. lol.. anyway started prettey good, got my self up to about p12 on the first 3 corners.. then bang got hit from behind and spun off in to the dirt, costing me big time.. rejoined in last place.. then got my serious head on and made a few places.. resulting in some great battles with dave.. i didnt pit thinking i could jump a few places.. but it cost me deer.. didnt like the blue flag writing.. move over or be penalised.. was reading this and spun off again.. brilliant racing guys looking forward to next week..

 

[Jari Vinnari]

IMHO the blue flag rule is too strict in this game.

Hey hey hey.....I said Lancett as it was supposed to be said

 

[Dave Begley]

Your right there. You can be miles ahead of someone and get it, then you have to slow to let them pass or get a drive through.

@ Jason: I watched the vid last night after the race and was in stiches at the names we were getting called. Really enjoyed the battles we had, great racing.

 

[Jason Lancett]

only joking james.. lol good commentry when everything was sorted lol..

 

[Anthony Levene]

anyway started prettey good, got my self up to about p12 on the first 3 corners..

By barging me out of the way...twice! After that incident my steering wheel was about 45 degrees off...I pitted but didn't have any option to repair the car so I carried on with a damaged car for the rest of the race.

Thanks to Bram & the RD team for the race...looking forward to next week
