[Stefan Beemsterboer]

What's youre lap-time?

- lambo 2;20
- Lister 2;20
- F550 2;20

Hmmmmm....Who has a good setup for me?

 

[Eric. K]

I envisage 120 laps at the old Nurburgring... that’s well over 12hours of race with GTP cars, now go with the Mini

I’m up for this… I hope :wink2:

Btw, just checked, we can set 100 laps max or 120 mins and 25 racers... unless we use a mod, where I think we can go to 180 mins, 30 racers and I don't know the laps (but as far as I know, RD doesn't use this mod).

Actually I already tried and you can set 120laps it only shows as 100 in the dedicated server, but it is 120 when you enter the game

 

[Eric. K]

What times should we be getting around this place? I just need something to compare with my PB of 1:12.134.

I am sure you could ask Keith to do a few laps he is in a partying moodarty2:

"Could the backmarker in the Volvo who left the pits and was caught in turn 1 by the 3 leading cars please come to the front desk to collect their new pair of underwear"

Sorry about that, we must of scared the hell out of you when we flew into turn 1 like that.

 

[Jamie Wilson]

lol, yes, big props to that Volvo driver for not having a mental breakdown at that moment. I've been in that situation myself and it's terrifying.

 

[João Andias]

What's youre lap-time?

- Lister 2;20
- F550 2;20

Hmmmmm....Who has a good setup for me?

A "good" setup for me might not be a "good" setup for you... but no, I'm not using any of those cars, sorry I can’t help you with those.

I should be taking my faithful Vette or if I want to experiment (unlikely in a 2h 20 min event) I will be taking the Maserati.

Don't wary too much about lap times...

If I recall correctly, last time I did a GTP RD event at Spa (2 x 10 laps) my in-race lap times were at best 2:17 and usually around 2:18/2:19 and yet l won the 2nd race and did well in the 1st too.
​

Some people did 2.13 to get the pole (near the posted 2.12) and circulated 2:15/2:16 in race, it was only a 10 lapper still they didn't win it, now a 60 laps race... haha, I will be happy if after the 40th lap I’m still able to circulate not far from 2.19 :wink2:
​

Just to finish this race will be something… regarding the place, when the 60th lap comes, we will see about it then.

Btw here is below a perhaps useful quote from a previews RD even at Spa (the one mentioned above) especially since this is an endurance event.

These were sprint races (25min each?), so some people setup and drive cars in way that I'm sure they wouldn’t do in an endurance race.

For instances, everyone knows (or should know), that it is possible to do Eau Rouge flat out (especially with a Q setup). The problem is… it is basically too risky to do it (in race), especially with others near, and one knows that going by there an X amount of times it easy (once) to misjudge the trajectory. So one should leave some room for a possible mistake or one can easily end his (and others) race there.

Like in many other tracks, some people like to “invent” overtaking points in Spa.

For the record, excluding the situations when the front driver permits (or does a mistake), the classic overtaking points in Spa are:

Braking into Les Combes, braking into the 1st turn at Fagnes (hard to do because Pouhon exit is very fast), braking into the 1st turn in Stavelot area, braking into Bus Stop, braking into La Source.

Eau Rouge, Raidillon, the turn after Bruxelles, Pouhon, Blanchimont are absolute one liners. In order to overtake there, or the front racer permits (voluntarily or by mistake) or someone will be “killed”.

Notice that, for instances, you can cleanly overtake in Blanchimont (or any other place), but for that, the front racer has to exit considerable slower from Stavelot (his mistake) so one can gain the line going into Blanchimont.

If any of you have (or had) a look into the replays, you will see some very “optimist” overtaking attempts going into/in Blanchimont and Eau Rouge.

[Frank Herfjord]

I was the backmarker and I was fine

I was coming out of the pits from my second stop (after repairing the suspension...) so I just went really slow and stayed off the racing line since I saw on the HUD that some cars would be catching up to me as I was leaving the pit lane. I'm glad I managed not to slow you guys even though it was in the middle of the S combo.

 

[GAIAjohan]

Well first race I think I didn't change my rear tyres to dry ones and well my car was sliding the first 4 laps. After this I went too fast into t5 and smaked into the wall .

In race 2 it went quite well, saw some hard fights in front of me which i tried to avoid but I lost my car again but now on T1 .. I need some consistency lessons or so..

 

[Keith Barrick]

Server is up and running, nice size field. Any late joiners have up until 1;00GMT, 9:00pm EST, or 6:00pm PST to join as we have 30 minutes of qualifying.

See you all there.

 

[Keith Barrick]

Sign me up please. Havent run against Atilla in a long time.

[Kyle Evers]

I might be able to make it. It'd be a TIGHT squeeze though, I'd get home from school 15 minutes before the race EST. Guess I'll have to practice prior to the official race.

 

[Bruno Vieira]

Sign me up too!

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

From bad to worse.

Run out of fuel, and while watching the race monitor my pc crashed. Happened twice now in that race. Once was during practice. Ohhh no.
