OK I have yet to drive these but I'll strap in and give it a rip! At least I know the track layout well!

OK I have yet to drive these but I'll strap in and give it a rip! At least I know the track layout well!

Seeing that their is loads of room of the entry list, I think I'll jump in as well. Will me my first go at the Formula Masters as well.

 

[Bill Kaiser]

Where is everyone?

 

[Paul Wood]

I finally managed to get a setup that allows me to complete laps but my best time is 1.35.6XX.
Here is a vid of that lap. Can you guys see where I am going wrong??

 

[Stefan Werner]

You're not going wrong Paul. It's just a matter of practice for you now. There are a few places you could brake a little later, other than that, it looks like you are doing pretty good.

 

[Mark Guy]

Very small field again, but really nice racing and these cars are awsome on this track. The more I drive them the more I like them which is good for Team SA Nations Cup Challenge.

Thanks Ben for setting up.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

That's a pretty good lap Paul, and like Stefan said you aren't really doing anything wrong. The only recommendations I'd make are these:
-I watched the video and noticed that Turn 3 through to Turn 6 as well as Turn 8 are being taken a gear lower than I'd assume they would be. I'd say change the gearing slightly so that Turns 3, 4 and 8 are taken in 3rd gear, and 5 and 6 in 4th. That'll give you smoother acceleration coming out of corners and give you less of a chance of spinning. :wink:

 

[Ben Tusting]

As the THursday slot is for open wheelers, do you fancy trying some different cars?

FBMW or F3000?

 

[Martin Bulgin]

Personally I dont find the F3000s or FBMWs as much fun as the Formula Masters, but the fields have been low lately so maybe a change is a good idea.

My Wed Night

It's bad enough that I'm up til 4Am on Friday Night/Saturday Morning. Now Mini's in the middle of the week!!!!

I was disappointed to see only 7 on the server at what is arguably one of my favourite tracks (other than the crazy cutting rules that turn races into who can have the fewest S'n'G's.)

Quali'd ok in 4th not in the 14's (or even the 13's) but a good solid time.

Race 1 - Nicely off the start taking Yves (which I knew wouldn't last long). Mad a couple of mistakes that let Jesse by, like i could have stopped him anyway. The rest of the race was spent tussling with Denis swapping 4th and then 3rd. Finally with a good entry to the last chicane my better top speed let me drive past Denis, holding it round Parabolica and on to finish clear in third. A first time RD podium.

Race 2 - Another good start picking up a couple of places to run 2nd behind Yves. Only for as long as the other two took to catch up. Running 4th clear of Denis this time, passing Eric and his fateful S'N'G then Jesse for the same reason a couple of laps later. Ran consistently with no off track excursions and was far enough ahead of Eric and Jesse to take 2nd and Joint second overall in the event.

The secret of Monza is care through the danger cut zones and no stop'n'go's. I managed to have only 1 cut warning in each race and no s'n'g.

Brands on Wednesday. I really shouldn't but I can't resist. Let's hope for a big field.

 

[Péter Bártfai]

Thx guys for these races, it was fun!

 

[Nicolas Hamilton]

Im in

 

[Freddie Besems]

i would like to join.

 

[Yves Larose]

wow a very low sign up this week :eek:

 

[Lee Downham]

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

I seem to remember I did it just the once and it worked out good for me that time, but equally others have gambled on one set and I chased them down with fresh tyres in the last minutes for an exciting finalé (Cadwell race instantly springs to mind with Nige and Neil where I chased them down by a large margin and going into the last lap we were all together desperately trying to beat each other) ... I also vaguely remember Gary has done it and won by sticking with one set of tyres.

This is what I mean with my post ... having the choice makes it a bit more fun IMHO :wink:

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Another track where I'm the slowest around!

R1 Started off welland I started to hopefully chase Bill down. He was algging a bit and on L4 I knocked him into the sand at the last turn, sorry. He went off track on his own and I was by him but could see I didn't have any speed on him. Finished a lap down.

R2 Oh no, the pole! At the first turn Bill clips me and I go across the track and hit Jesse and tap Peter. Peter's lucky to get away, Jesse stops to wait for me because he thinks he hit me, maybe he did? I get to watch Jess fly away from me and I'm in pursuit of, ok not really in "pursuit", but up the road I go. Bill, just ahead of me takes an off course excusion and I drift by. He's a tad bit faster than me but my trips off pavement are smaller than his and I maintain a dwindling lead over him till the end for 2nd last.

Those not on TeamSpeak missed Jesse spilling pearls about car setup and there were a few of us listening intently, join us on TS3 next race!
