FRIDAY NIGHT: TIME TO RACE!

Emilio · Dec 5, 2014

Alright folks here we go!!
Friday is finally arrived and we've two big, fat & juicy events tonight for EU and US drivers, and those are:

US SERVER
9PM CST WTCC 2013 @ Monza

EU SERVER
8PM UTC WTCC 2013 @ Zandvoort

Feel free to join the races and once done, if you want MOAR, hang it there and see if there're other players willing to do a "Round 2" on a different server maybe.

If you're part of the Steam Group --ESR-- then we'll be connecting on the Group Chat around 15/30 before the planned event (check your pop-up announcements on Steam!) and we'll take it from there (especially to coordinate and find the right server to get into!)

If you are not part of --ESR-- (you can always send me a PM and I'll add you as Friend and invite to the Group on Steam) no big deal: the two events for tonight are listed up above, so just enter the Multiplayer and browse around until you find the relative server!

Catch you all tomorrow on the tarmac!

James Nance · Dec 7, 2014

Id figure that, but ends up I had a virus on my pc, so I let my pc do a scan. found out this morning it was a virus causing it to be slow and act up. I was so annoyed. Otherwise I would of been there, haha.

But if we race tonight I will be there

James Nance · Dec 7, 2014

NVM for some reason I cant connect to steam on my PC, I uninstalled steam and installed again, now it wont launch saying it needs an update, confirm connection.

My initial thoughts before our first race on Friday night were "Monza. A bunch of guys who've never raced together. First chicane is going to be a disaster!"

I miraculously qualified 3rd. I had mixed feelings about that, because it's usually the people in front who get screwed in the obligatory Turn 1 Mayhem™.

Clean start by all....made it through the chicane without incident....did a rear view to see how everyone else fared, and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my sim racing career --- Not ONE person slammed/spun/rammed/punted. A horsepower ballet.

ONE driver (bermpa-something? dude with the flashing headlights) was overdriving and causing a little havoc here and there, but otherwise I thought the racing was pristinely clean and I had great fun racing with everyone!

I'm preparing a ~5 min video with a couple of highlights and there's your battle and accident as well

I'll try to upload the video ASAP
Anyway I totally agree with your comments on the race. It was really really a gentlemen race! And I still have that sour taste in my mouth (@James Nance I'm having bad dreams about the second chicane!!!)
