Ah the hell with my anger. I'll still be angered, frustrated, heavily irritated, stressed, extremely pissed off with myself because of Sunday's race, but I'll race nevertheless. I just hope my stupidity, moroness and total lack of racecraft does not screw your guys race.

We had 22 cars on Sunday and it was fine but I think this is looking like a 2 server event

There's more space at Spa

Had a pre race race this evening and got my first podium

To be honest when your as bad a driver as us then seeing flashing headlights is probably not going to happen. Bobbing and weaving is quite likely to be my best driving

. And as for braking, don't ask. I agree that where there is a safe place then we the lappes must give way to the faster cars. Thats why I often end up in the gravel. Yes its true I tell you, it is not just my poor driving

Just watch out in case one of us reports you.

The car is pretty nice to drive around Spa, only Busstop and La Source where you have to be a bit careful on the throttle

Gerbuho · Jan 18, 2016

In please yeah.

Doesn't look like this event will materialize....hopefully we can get more interest on other US events later on in the week.

Filip Carlén · Jan 19, 2016

I apologies in advance if I not make it. There is huge amounts of now outside and I would not be surprised if I the interner/electronics would vanish. Here is a pic from outside my window that I took right now

Hi Aarup and welcome to the club. You can join any time up until the race starts as the server won't allow you after that. Since the game doesn't have a proper flag system we recommend using Teamspeak, you don't have to talk but it means you hear alerts and the groans during the race. Look forward to seeing you on the track

Thanks a lot, managed to get a few laps in this early morning and get a little bit of feeling for the car. Will remember to join on TeamSpeak, don't think I've got a mic. laying around, so I'll just be listening.

And yes, I am a Dane

Ok, sign me up (even if this is an entirely different prospect compared to the Audi TTs on Sunday just passed).

As for letting the faster drivers through, I used Crew Chief on Sunday and I think it's essential (ok, ok, I realise that if I see another car behind me then it means I'm about to be lapped - no chance I'm actually ahead of someone by position in a race), but hearing the "Blue flag!" prompt is fantastic - I think Oscar (and a few others) passed me 3 times (yes, each! Partly my fault for having no idea how the pitstops and drive-through penalties worked - took me 3 pitstop "detours" to get the drive-through penalty to "stick"!).

As for the slower driver getting out of the way, I've read a few thoughts on RD about this - general consensus seems to be that it's the faster driver's responsibility to find a safe place to perform the overtake - not the slower driver's to get out of the way.

That said, once I hear the "Blue flag!" call, I do try to move off the racing line a little bit and ease off the gas a bit (not too much though - don't want the faster car hitting me in the back!) to let the faster car through (and yes, that has resulted in me eating gravel!).

(I'm always going to remember Crew Chief's last message to me in my first race using it: "Bloody awful result mate!". Yeah... thanks for that!).
