Sorry guys, don't feel that well in terms of health.

Also next time I need to get familiar with Discord as when I click your suggested link and seem to be inside Discord via browser there's no sign of RaceDepartment at all. A pity you turned away from TS.
 
@EireGreen™
So what was that about?
You make a mistake and come back on track, give space to the leader by moving off the racing line and back on it when i was clearly 1.5 sec behind lead. You kinda give me space but move to the middle ... tire was blown, undrivable gg
"bernie says dont drink and drive" :thumbsup:

Fun chasing you @PurgerUK, lost 5 sec hitting the pitlimter instead of the p2p rip in the first half of the race

^^ Hahaha... that's exactly what went through my mind when it happened, Christian! :roflmao:

I was having a pretty decent race up until the pit stop. Video speaks louder than words:


And to add insult to injury, I apparently slid my way into the pit lane above the speed limit, so I got a drive-through! :p Once all that was over I was pretty much exactly where I was beforehand... right behind @Sasha Jednak... but a whole lap down. :D

Oh well, it was still a fun race, especially the last few minutes battling with @Gerdoner. Cheer guys! :thumbsup:

Then I pitted and got DT, and came back a bot ahead again just on same lap. :roflmao:

@PurgerUK and @ionONE1 were on another planet, great pace guys. @Steve Le Gallez, sorry for my DT. We could have had nice battle again, although you had a bit more pace. Congrats on podium.

This track is super fun to drive in these cars, you need really to brake 3 times.Everything else is downshift or blip on brake pedal. Heart stopping each lap on braking for Corkscrew, it’s good to be ali e in the end.:D

Start was way better than last race, only lost 1 position this time round :p For a few laps I could follow the guys infront, but seeing as I don't really practice for this season there's always a mistake waiting to happen. I totally lost confidence going into the Corkscrew for a few laps, car tried to kill me every time.

After the pitstops (I remembered to preselect the tyres and fuel this time, yay), I found my rhythm. Last few laps were very enjoyable battling with @Goffik, he probably was a bit faster than me but I gained some time in the corners, seeing as my wings were at max angle. During the race I thought I might have closed the door a bit too late once or twice, but that might have been me not 100% comfortable with the car, or I couldnt find the situations in your video.

I am looking forward to Road America with the long straights :D
Btw, just did a few laps in Sonoma and only got lost three times :D Someone got a booster seat, I can hardly see the braking points / apexes for half the corners :p

Ah, I was wondering how you managed to carry more speed, especially in the first few corners!

During the race I thought I might have closed the door a bit too late once or twice, but that might have been me not 100% comfortable with the car, or I couldnt find the situations in your video.
Nope, you did fine mate. I never once felt that you forced me to avoid you, it was good defensive driving. :thumbsup:

Haha, yep, that's the problem! It's a really fun track in high-downforce cars, but almost none of the corners have markers! Crazy Americans! :p
 
Quick question guys. I know some aren't keen on the switch to Discord... I'm one of them! Discord certainly seems to be a lot emptier on race nights than TS ever was. I believe RD's TeamSpeak server is still running so if people prefer we can go back to using it. What say you? Discord or TeamSpeak?
 
#21 for me please
I am fine with both, don't have any difference on my side: click to open program -> click to change to R3E channel -> done. Both are working fine for "go through you are faster", "thank you" and "good luck". :)
