[Christopher Aponte]

sorry guys
it was just 30 min ago that I got home from school
thought I could make it......but with deadline and hell week it was no chance
at least you guys enjoyed


so next week
Pocono? Road Course or something else?

 

[Dan Coldrick]

Something easy please Chris, theres a lot of new guys and we need something where there aren't so many yellows.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

hehe but stock car is never easy
you should drive Salem...then Iowa seems to easy

but pocono might be a good learning place

 

[Patrick van Driel]

Yellow fever again but it was fun !! I had 4th place for almost the whole race and at lap 97 i lost it for the first time :curse: Nice timing lol
13th at the end :cake: and cake for having 18 ppl :cake:

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Sort of a fun race,
Dont think I have ever been in a race with that many yellows getting thrown!
I dont think we even managed 10 laps in a green stint! eeek.

Tho saying that I was not really suprised, Many of the accidents were while we were under caution lol. How hard is it to line up properly???
Ohh how I wish we had a sort of SR system like iR in ARCA. Bliss....

I personally had a hard time trying to drive the thing due to racing iRacing so much and coming back to ARCA with a lack of feeling in the wheel. More practice needed I guess.


Grats JJ, It was always going to be yours!

 

[Tim Ling]

......to ARCA with a lack of feeling in the wheel.

The first part is coming, but in leagues that is not what should matter, leagues are about camaraderie and good times, which it sounds like you had. Others just needed to practice more, that track is not too bad, but it's also not hard in, blip throttle a lil just before entry and power out mainly, older tires may need a lil more feathering though ....

The second, I assume you are talking about some type of force feedback? If so, these cars have power steering, you'll have not much more force than a normal car would have, our inputs are actually measured against recorded torque values retrieved off the actual cars during test sessions. We are just about ready to market our own steering wheel which uses these same values, and when overlaid to real world inputs, it's pretty astounding

Still sounds like everyone here is having a great time, and that's what matters. Another small special is about to take place on the sale of Arca, so if you haven't taken advantage yet, keep an eye out ....

Others just needed to practice more

Me!!!

My first race, i some how managed to quali in 5th or 6th! Lol, oh how dangerous is that!
I found myself not watching the road for my turn and throttle off markers but the mirrors and the cars, i spent much of the race worrying about hitting you lot.
More practice and i will just become the same as you lot....no idea what that means but im in for the long run, it was a great laugh!

You had newer tires.

 

[Bert Van Waes]

It was good stuff for sure, and at the end pretty close, but yellow is the word.

4th at the end, things running smooth back here though. Had no skid, spin what so ever. Close fights with the boss, and later on Bjorn and Xosé, but Xosé was fighting for honour i guess, cause he was a lap down.

Good stuff on the greens though, despite the fact we had like 23 laps green maximum. lol!

 

[Gareth Hickling]

The second, I assume you are talking about some type of force feedback?

Maybe its due to using a realfeel plugin or simular in the past??. Just felt a little muddy for me last night.


Was a fun evening tho non the less!

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

You had newer tires.

Your choice to pick a (easy) track for next week, James

what its gonna be?

 

[Christopher Aponte]

time for some pocono I think
