<Man was that a fun night of racing for me!

Quali: Yves goes out and sets the pace in the 14.4's. I plug in a setup I had saved from my public racing days and get going. I reset quick lap by almost .4 by going into a 14.010. Yves makes another run at it and gets to a .035 but cannot retake Pole from me. I am in chat with 30 seconds to go and already the "GRats eric" shows up. I am talking to Dennis on Teamspeak and he comments about the lap I had and then BAAAAAAAAAAAAM JESSE steals POLE by going to a 13.935 w/ ZEROES ONTHE CLOCK! WELL DONE JESSE never saw you coming........

race 1: I get just enough of a start to lock out Jesse entering the chicane. I extend a bit over the next couple of laps. Yves has had an incident of some sort as it's clearly now Jesse and I for the win. Jesse is closing the gap on me in the middle stages. My car is understeering and I have a "cut warning" in the bank already so I have to slow down a bit. Jesse Finally gets a run on me exiting Lesmo and he is outside me and door to door coming to Ascari! I am in side and brake a tad early in case he tries a crazy outbrake pas form the outside. My car stays on track while Jesse hit the gravel and I hear the engine PEGGED and him flying through the trap to get back in the fight. Later jesse receives a sstop n go for cutting on e of the chicane's and that seals up P1 for me. It was a great race Jesse!

R2: Starting in the back this time. I get a great jump off the line and am about to split Dennis and one other when contact is made and I hit someone squarely in the bumper killing my speed. So I hammer on and eventually pass Dennis on the main straight. NOw I am Chasing Jesse and Yves after getting by Willie. They have a BIG BATTLE going on with Yves defending brilliantly and Jesse keepng it clean. I close on them once then give the gain back by running wide in Lesmo 1. I get 2 cut warnings and am only a liitle more than 7 laps in. I pass Jesse and then am coming in to serve my Stop n go. Jesse tags me thinking I am trying to keeop him from drafting me and I am stalled at pit entrance facing the wrong way. It takes me more time to get my SNG done. Meanwhile, jesse has had some bad luck as well and we are seperated by only 10 seconds. I am pretty sure if I just keep it one spot behind Jesse I get the overall win. I beg willie to keep it on track for the last 2 laps and it works out.

after the dust settles, I have the overall win by one point over 3 other drivers tied at 14! amazing fun and my first overall win here at RD!

looking forward to more MINI racing since these cars are so much fun to race!

Thanks Yves, Eric K and RD for anotehr fun day!

Don't forget to put Will Marquez in the field. I know he's a bum but hey, lets let him race anyway.

Here's a quick vid of a lap I just did in the E30 M3. 1:34's are possible here without to much effort.

[Yves Larose]

sorry guy's something came up and i might not be able to attempt the event so i'm a big maybe.

 

[Lee Downham]

^^ this sounds like a "scaling" issue dude ... if you are on nvidia there are options of what scaling methods to use.
Try setting it to native or monitor scales, if that does not work, try Nvidia scaling.
Another thing that might "toggle" it round is changing the refresh rate/mhz (try setting it to 59 instead of 60, then toggling it back) ... new drivers might do something to help, or try resetting your monitor to factory defaults.
GL whatever the issue is, I know I used to have some convoluted workarounds for this on my laptop :/

Other thing ... got caught up with other things tonight so have just sat down at my PC and have no chance of joining the race unfortunately - sorry!

... hmmm forced pit with forced 2 x tyre change ... I liked the old 80 minute format - you had to pit (usually) for fuel, but tyres were optional - so the whole strategy and driving style (ragging it and burning your tyres out or alternatively driving more carefully to preserve them to the end) came into play ... and like Nige said, defending or catching someone at the end with worn tyres could make it really rather exciting, wot wot

... this will feel a bit more like 2 x sprint races I guess, no doubt with some serious catch up needed on my part

Did you ever do 80 minutes with one set of tyres?

Five of us raced but there must have been a setting on the server wrong, because we saw each other as ghost cars when we got near and we could just drive through each other, apart from that it was good racing despite the lack of numbers.

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

thanks lee i installed new drivers and now i can use auto adjust

thanks for your help mate

 

[Graham Healey]

Two nice races but small grids.

First race for Bernt and I.

There seemed to be some glitches with the server setup.

1. No Collisions - we could drive right through each other.
2. Rolling start - this could well be intended though.

Bernt won the sprint race and Mark won the feature. Grats guys.

In spite of the "no collisions" there was plenty of good racing. Just not that special excitement and frustration that comes from having to wait for a suitable chance to overtake.

Thanks for the racing guys.

Edit:
By the way. Never drove at this track before. It was challenging and very enjoyable. Well suited to these cars.

Glad you got it sorted ;-)

... and sorry again for not being able to make it, as I checked the server you were in warm up on race 2
... so I just did 30 mins hotlapping on the sprint server to console myself

Of course! In please.

 

[Ben Tusting]

Not sure what happened to the server,
When i set it up yesterday it was on the correct settings.

I think it was when the RD server password was changed, all of the servers got rebooted hence why you had a hotlapping server.(RD prequaly server settings)

Sorry about that

 

[Yves Larose]

server is up guy's
