MP. I always practice in a "live" lobby. Not sure it helps, though.

Just wondered whether it made a difference to the damage as your experieces were clearly so different. I'll see tonight I guess.

 

[Peter Hooper]

Tried to have a little last practice earlier but had a strange wheel problem. Whenever I turned it into a right hander past a certain point it wanted to go full right with a real strong pull. Had to force it back left. Very difficult to drive anywhere like yhst let alone here. Anyone se experienced that before?

.turn up steering ratio on car.sounds like you past the imaginary stop it imployees

Cheers Eric. Bit strange though as I've not changed that in any session here so far.

Yea,we talked about my hard lock problems extensively. I struggled a long time and still go, but I find less ffb and particularly TF, helps. DoR may play a role too.

So odd how these things can suddenly strike for no apparent reason. Same as the juddering effect in the corners, like riding over cobblestones. Hoping it will be gone when we get going later.

 

[mcnasty1]

Is this race in a hour and half? 530est? I can maybe make that.have one more car to look at.crap see noti

 

[mcnasty1]

Sorry guys 530is the easiest I can be there

 

[EpilepticToast]

it was rescheduled for 5:30( top of pg3), that's when I can make it too

 

[Peter Hooper]

That's when I had it down for too

 

[mcnasty1]

Ok cool eating now be on shortly..warning ive had no practice but should be fun with the hgate shifter and all

 

[Peter Hooper]

Cheers guys that was very tough but fun all the same. I was never really at the races and knew i couldn't match you guys on pace so had to try to stay out of trouble instead.

Really enjoyed the last 6 or so laps chasing Robert down and thought I had him having closed onto his tail towards the end of lap 28 but had to jump on the brakes as he slowed round that final right-hander more than I expected (aero or suspension damage i suspect) and I had a major spin as a result and damaged the aero badly. Could barely get the car to the flag after that lol. Would have been an injustice though as Rob was much faster all race (great lap of 2:29 buddy) and it was only my keeping the car together and only making two stops that kept me anywhere in contention. Great win Nic... thought Robert had you with his great drive for much of the race and the battle between you both early on sounded like a lot of fun.

Thanks Eric on making my race interesting for the first ten or so laps.

 

[mcnasty1]

Good fun for what I ran.good job guys.that combo was tough. Prob be on later to mess with those indy cars.cant get enough of those atm.

 

[EpilepticToast]

good fun race guys! Many crashes but it leveled out in the end via pitstops. These are great fun cars for wheel to wheel racing, very well done sense of vintage unpredictability and power. Good job especially to Robert, who I had a long back-forth leapfrogging sequence with while posting some damn hot laps. Real good pace here man!

 

[Peter Hooper]

Couldn't agree more Nic I feel that they really nailed the essence of the classic cars and aligned with some of these tracks they are just unparalleled in the game

I knew Robert would be on it here as soon as I heard he had done a 2:30 lap in practice. I never got on the same page and couldn't find any confidence at this track and need a lot more laps to find a comfort zone.

I am not buying your "woe is me" stuff this time. It has burned me too often, like fire.

Seriously though, I thought you were going to get me in the end. My car was failing bad after I smashed it into the wall for the 15th time. I could either pit or watch you go by. So, you must have been pretty bad off yourself.

Thanks Nic. I think I finally know how you are so fast. Maybe. Although I can't replicate it...because it involves not pushing so hard and not crashing. I was the guy who just wanted to hit the tennis ball as hard as I could, even if it didn't go in.

My car was actually ok at the time I closed on you Rob it was the smash I took when I spun trying to avoid your rear that messed my car up and then it took me ages to get it going again. It was the most fun part of the race for me

Colin posted the link to this on the F1 Paddock Chat. What do you think... any likelihood of this coming off? Probably the only way to get the sort of numbers we used to get in F1 before the split.

It will not open for me, but I'll try to find it.
