Sorry for the bumps i gave people in race 2, and sorry to however i spun coming out of the last chicane, there was no way i couldve gotten out of the way quick enough.

 

[Quas]

Oh well, tough luck i guess.
My first time on this track, with the V8 i struggle anyway although i enjoy driving it so i needed quite a bit until i started lapping somewhat consistently.
R1 started without incidents for me (although i started a bit slow, sorry @Paul Hurlow ) but i was still having problems to keep the car in check, so i thought maybe if i push the boost button it will become more tame .
Of course i missed my braking point, got onto the grass and almost took out @Anestis Genidounias . Got a drive through penalty as a bonus and couldn't focus enough to keep the damaged car on track so i watched the front lapping for the remaining race.

After @Antti Hyytiainen kindly shared his set it was like night & day for me, although i was going faster and braking later the car was much more controllable, still i was nowhere near the fast guys but at least consistent and improving.
The very start of R2 was alright but after 2 minutes i got a tiny bump from Anestis (i was turning in from the inside with cold tires so i had to slow down a bit more in that bend) which send me with a spin into the wall where i had to let the whole field pass, before i could realize that the road is to narrow to turn around in one go.
Into the wall and stalled the car. After that i was slightly discouraged .
No worries @Anestis Genidounias , **** happens, i was very close to taking you completely out the race before.

The car is so much fun with a proper set, i seriously need to drive the V8's more often to get some routine with them.
Thanks everyone for racing and @Andrew James for organizing, guess you'll see me again in these .

My first race with V8,lots of fun ,lots of action on track .Race 1 ended in the third lap after epic crash .Race 2 - false start,drive in the pit for stop and go penalty,but forget to mark right buttons for pit menu, so - DQ .Anyway looking forward for next races with V8.

Not sure how I managed to win race 2 but it was great !

Looking forward to doing more races with this car (especially at Interlagos hint hint )

I know not all of you can make this time, I am tagging you just to check, and to ask you to please tag people you know might be able to make it, thank you!

A few things from the race, all drivers please read!

There was a huge incident in race 1, lap 3 involving several cars. I shared a video with staff to get some feedback and while the incident was simply a 'racing incident' a lot of carnage could have been avoided.

1. When entering a yellow flag zone, slow down. Do not overtake until you pass the incident. You may pass the crashed cars obviously. A few drivers kept their foot on the throttle and smashed into stationary cars at over 200kph. Race flags must be obeyed just as in real life. (I am one of the drivers guilty of not lifting, though I avoided the stationary cars, next time I will lift also.)

2. If you spin, crash, or whatever, do not rejoin until there is a safe gap. The incident was worse because of cars moving slowly blocking the track trying to get back racing. You must wait until it is clear and safe.

Video of incident:

Thank you.

[Kurupt CDN]

Sorry mate that's a 3 am start my time

 

[Yuri]

Hey guys I'm using a setup Matej gave me for the AMG (thanks for that ) and I find the turn in to be too quick. To make it a little slower do you normally decrease the toe? Thanks!

 

[Matej Lakota]

Yuri, I think, I don˙t understand you completely, but try with lifting front end up (to 7.5 or 7.7).

 

[Yuri]

Thanks Matej I'll try that. I mean when I turn into corners I have oversteer.

 

[Matej Lakota]

Try that or/and lift rear wing a click or two higher, it is always my "cure" for that kind of problems .

 

[Sven-Arne Andersson]

Ok, I admit that I am one of the guilty guys. Really sorry about that. Shall be more observent in future.

 

[Nox]

No problems, Sven, so long as we all improve next time. Usually you're a very clean racer, this was a one off. I also made a mistake. No harm in reminding ourselves every now and then to ensure the club growth continues

 

[PaulH]

Andrew, I like the points system you have incorporated into the V8 races, nice to score some points after a race, keep up the good work

I'll raise the fron ride height then. When I raised the rear wing I was having trouble on the fast chicane before the wall of Champions.

It's for all GSC races, not just V8s

Yes, I've experienced this first hand racing with Sven
