AC Ford Escort RS1600 @ Vallelunga - Mon 18 May 2020

[Medilloni]

Thanks for racing guys. Hope to see you all next week.
I will post the event and put the server up tomorrow evening.

Thanks for putting it on Denis, it was a great combo

Thanks for hosting Denis, car is always fun. Reminds me a bit of the old Ford Coupe mod. R1 was a never ending battle with @jemmari which was great R2 started being involved in a game of domino going into T2 resulting in dropping some places. But that was fine because there is always good action at the back of the grid

Thanks for hosting Dennis. Good fun. Not sure what happened at the start of the first race. Second was better.

 

[Nuno Rodrigues]

thanks for the race yesterday Denis.
Great car.
I left in second race and didnt notice that were reserves. If i knew it, i had given my place to others :-(
Sorry for that.

To all drivers that were disadvantaged by the mess at the start of race 1.

@Denis Betty pointed out that it was my mistake and in the replay I saw that he is right. So my humble apologies to everyone affected by this and for ruining their race.

I hit @Nuno Rodrigues while he stayed at his line which caused a massive collision. At that moment I thought it was a race incident with me going to the left and Nuno going to the right to plug in the gap that was in the middle and so I didn't wait for anyone. But I was wrong as clearly can be seen in the replay.
In my poor defense I can only say that I'm not used in driving right handed cars and had poor judgement where Nuno was situated at my left side at that moment.

So sorry to Nuno, Denis and all others who suffered from this.

NP Han, even the pros make errors. The only way my race could be ruined is if the servers disconnected. Your honesty is appreciated. See you at the back.

That was a brilliant combo. Never turned a single lap before Quali which was a big mistake. Was only starting to get used to the car and track as first race ended. Second race was better for me.
Appreciated the setups from the lads

Found myself smiling as I drifted round corners looking at other cars sideways in front of me. Brilliant. Thanks Denis.

Did you ever check the replay where we made contact? I know neither of us really care too much just interested to know for future.

I did mate. We were both struggling to get the car in line, so we both had lateral movement. In all honesty, it would be called a racing incident, although from my point of view, I'd say it was about 60/40 on you mate.
Probably the wrong call for me to call you out, so apologies for that. Having said that, given the uncertainty, I would certainly like people to wait of their own volition in a situation like that - so all in all, no harm done. You did wait and everybody had fun.
Cheers.

 

[GEO147]

Yeah I'm always very careful not to have contact and felt we both moved closer at same time. Just only one of us has the skill to control it

Haha. No problem with the call out. Id rather that than ruin someone's race and drove off down the road oblivious.

And yeah was great fun.
