AC Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT 12 @ Le Circuit Mt-Tremblant 1969 - Tue 19th March 2024

[JamKart22]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

This week we're going back to what I think is one of the really great tracks on AC - Le Circuit Mt-Tremblant 1969. We were there a few weeks ago in the RSS 1970 but only a few could attend. It should suit the Tipo just great. The tyre/grip settings seemed to work OK last week so we're again on V70 tyres with track grip set at 98%.

Another great combo Colin, a real blast, thanks.

Any of you past Tuesday night racers free to join the fun?! @thom462 @eN1xes @cerebralvortex @Peevee88 @Pedro Faisca @The Almighty Snark @Twoddle would be great if you guys could join us again (we really need a couple more to make it a viable grid)?

 

[gearwhine]

Pit stop Colin?

 

[JamKart22]

No - its 2x25mins. I could make it an hour race but to be honest the reverse grid race is usually more fun

 

[Shed 17]

I'm not sue if I can make it so haven't entered as yet but If I can I'll be there.

 

[gearwhine]

I get that, it says we have to pit in the 25 min race?

 

[Programmer_Rich]

No - its 2x25mins. I could make it an hour race but to be honest the reverse grid race is usually more fun

Colin I think with smaller turnouts the 2x25 mins format keeps it interesting (with bigger grids I personally prefer one hour races).

BTW you have got a copy/paste error in the event details because it includes:

• Pitstop: mandatory with min 1 ltr fuel.

I'd love to join but I pulled a muscle or something so simracing is not in it for tonight I hope I'll be okay again by thursday's AMS2 session!

 

[cerebralvortex]

Sorry guys, I did some laps yesterday but I am still not enjoying this car. So I decided to not race with it again.

See you later!

Those V70 tyres don´t work for my driving style at all, nice car turn to shitbox faster than snap of fingers....

 

[JamKart22]

I'm happy to switch back to free tyre choice and 100% grip if that will encourage more to give it a go...

I've made the switch

I've made the switch

Thx mate, much better now.

Thanks for changing the tires to the V70 for a race or two. It certainly was a step in the right way for me but it still doesn't feel right. So I think it's better for me to opt out of driving this car altogether. In the end you have to pick what you like. My time racing is quite limited at times, and there is so much to try out. I need to pour some time into EA Sports WRC, try some mods, maybe do some casual racing here and there, ooh.. and ACC for sure, with the nordschleife coming soon.. Aaaand AC2 is coming this year as well.. let's hope it lives up to the expectations!

 

[Kek700]

All the best Laurent, hope to see you sometime in the future

Can we return to the V70H tyres now.

 

[JamKart22]

The V70H were available last night. I mentioned it several times but most people (including me) seemed to switch back to the V70.

Anyway, I'll allow any tyre in future.

Ditto. Car is beautiful, but its wrong. Far too fast.
My sixth-pence, idea of this series is good personally I love those long old tracks and the 70s 80s GPC cars.
The long tracks are just about surviving for me with retro cars, not racing. That's why I am reluctant to race. Silverstone and Monza 67 are where I have had the best retro AC online races.
Hard to drive cars on simpler tracks, easier to drive cars on the long funky stuff might attract more drivers. Food for thought

It's simcade and they seem to love it since it's so easy to drive fast.
