AC Audi Sport Quattro S1 @ Thomson Road - Weds 6th May 2020

[Reik Major]

Oh and I was already wondering what I did wrong after assigning the handbrake to a button on my wheel but not noticing any effect

You're not alone. I also wanted to use it in the hairpin.

Lol, I'm loving @Fat-Alfie 's tracks and that you can go off sometimes, but....

Yes I'm also a big fan of @Fat-Alfie 's tracks. I will have a go with this Audi on Fonteny sometimes, just for fun.

Sign me up please John.

When this beast was released for AC I tried it and ignored it from there on. Yesterday I gave it a second chance and learned to like it after a while. After another while I was able to put complete laps together but no lap seemed to be like the one before. So I think we've got a real challenge here. Not a very common combo...

Glad you can join us Reik

The combo idea came from Craig's excellent Bridgehampton/Audi S1 race a year last February, and I was addicted to the Audi - everyone had a blast, a real change to racing, more a case of keeping it on the road

It's fantastic on Fonteny Han, Deutschlandring & Feldbergring are great too, apart from being on the rev limiter for so long!

Excuse my ignorance here please, but is there a way to just spectate on these races, or is anyone likely to be streaming it? I reckon this one should be very entertaining.

I always wanted that too Joey, sadly not possible - unless there were spare cars then you could sit in the pits and view other drivers using ctrl 1 or 2. @HTIDRaver2k8 usually streams them though, so I guess he might for this one. Best way to see it is take part

I will be streaming as usual, you'll be limited to my cockpit view (and my semi sane ramblings though)

Ok, thanks for the reply. If I get a few minutes later I'll try to take a look. Have a good race.

having done a couple of laps I reckon its half a second quicker to crash into the barrier rather than try and take the hairpin at the end of the straight.

Not once you're got into the groove Steve

I'm afraid it's a no show for me tonight can't you make it after all have a great race.

I didn't think much of this when I first signed up.

Now I have understood the gravity of the challenge ahead of me.

Those who watch the stream, prepare yourselves!

HA

It's funny you mention the word gravity... because I gave it a quick shot, took my eyes off the screen for a split second to adjust my audio and this happened...

Well ive got the best time up on server at the moment. So what if its the only time

Also, I have a Fanatec handbrake and its mapped in the controls axis, but it doesnt work in the sim. Any ideas? Could do with it for the hairpin!!

4WD Group B Rally Cars did not have a handbrake, as it would have been useless due to center diff that could not unlock and the handbrake would simply have locked all tires and even caused engine braking

I had a bit of a practice just now. I was able to set the wr using mario smreks tune for highlands downloaded from the setup market app. I modified the tire psi, and fuel.

Good to see you Jason, and thanks for the setup too

Sorry John. Have just remembered that you provisionally added me. Sadly I can't make it tonight but have fun all!
