[Yves Larose]

ok i'm a totally noob, how many pitstop can we expect for the race ?

 

[Ivo Simons]

Good luck tonight guys. Have some fun.

 

[James Johnson]

3-4 stops.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

mostly 3 pitstops
depending also on caution flag

 

[Martijn van Bommel]

Is that for tyres only?,because i cant seem to change the fuel load?

 

[James Johnson]

fuel and tires. 32 laps of fuel x3 stops is 96 laps so you will have to try and pull 4 laps of fuel out. (This is with no cautions. Fuel milage may vary with cautions)

 

[Martijn van Bommel]

ok,thx.
well,good race all and have fun,i hope i dont screw up my pitstops.

[Xosé Estrada]

Qualy


I had no decent setup for qualy so I was to slow due to the gearing, with only one lap in warmup after fix it I was almost a sec faster, anyway this is not very important in this races.

Race

The perfect end for a bad day.

I was recovering from the back when I lost control for a millisecond and went into the wall, damaging the steering. Anyway the worse part comes now when going to the pits to repair I saw a big column of smoke in the middle of the traks, and assumed was a car going up to down as usual, but in fact was Bjorn sliding parallel to the wall and I hit him, I think damaging his car and finishing mine, tried to steer but no chance.

I went to the pits to repair but after that the car was only reaching 170mph so I was easy to overtake, and the car was a hell to drive, with the steering all wrong, so it ended with a bump and into the wall again and a DNF.

I'm sorry for Bjorn and honestly also for myself because he had the pace to win and I could do a good result, won't say it was pure bad luck because I was trying to reach the pits as soon as possible and I could went slower, but didn't expected a car doing that.

Well, cya next time

 

[Ben Tusting]

Had my first ever huge freeze in any game, whcih resulted in me ramming straight into the barrier = engine dead.

Grats to whoever wins

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

yeah man race was over i could not get out of the grass etc i did not finish this race but i enjoyed racing you lads see ya next time

 

[Christopher Aponte]

guys I have to say
still round 1 is a success....it was great racing
some caution but still awesome racing...
I was in up to 7 car draft racing all the way....in the end it was me and Martijn which Martijn I think tried to find a good hole to pass me, but could not pull it. In the end a great race for a 250mile race in total of 1 hour and 49 min...next rounds are way shorter, but this was also a tribute to the upcoming Daytona 500. Tnx for the great race and thanks all for being there for first round and made RDSCS finally a reality
