Ehm @Dennis Phelan I don't think I will make the race...just provide a setup

Björn · Sep 18, 2014

Nah, you're in now. No way around it. Better get your laps in

Campbell Wallis · Sep 18, 2014

In. The Gravel and some walls.

Damien Rouchon · Sep 18, 2014

hello all ^^
i can to drive with you if it is not too last

Björn · Sep 18, 2014

Bad news - I might not be able to race after all.

Some background: My internet provider has stopped connecting every client via a seperate IPv4 address quite some time ago due to running out of assignable IPv4 addresses on their side. The majority of the clients are now connected via IPv6 and are routed through a gateway for IPv4 traffic - normally, this works fine and apart from not being able to host servers on your own without some hassle, there's no real difference.
However, said gateway seems to have broken down, resulting in me only being able to access sites reacting to IPv6 natively.
RD, unfortunately, is not one of those sites (on 3G/cell phone connection right now) and I guess Race07 itself isn't up to IPv6 at all

I hope normal service gets back in time, just wanted to give a heads-up in case it doesn't

EDIT: I'm on the server, connection looks stable now, whee!

Did not suffice to build a really strong setup, but even found some more. Credits to the original builders, their names are in the set.

Well a wall! Made a reasonable start then undid my good work by getting on the grass going into the hairpin and wiping out the marker boards as I went (making the next few laps fun as I found a braking point).

Quickly came across @Reggie Blain Snr, and spent a few laps behind him before he spun into the stadium section. Then I was in a world of my own, well behind the cars ahead (and losing ground fast) and clear of the cars behind (who had made mistakes). I was just about to get lapped when I had a moment of brain fade, got onto a kerb, and spun into the wall. DNF.

Nelson Ullinskey · Sep 18, 2014

For some very bizarre reason, I was getting a ton of lag

(Insert long and very angry rant about lag here). It was only on my end, and everything would freeze for a moment. This resulted in me wrecking multiple times, which I got fed up with and left.

Björn · Sep 18, 2014

Geez, I don't think I've ever been more annoyed with myself after a race. And a certain curb, that is

Had a great practice session with Dennis and Reggie yesterday and got pretty fast using a weird mash-up of Dennis' setup posted above and the one Reik posted in that time trial at RoadOne.
Found yet another second during P1 & P2 and decided to go into quals with low fuel - getting in a near-perfect lap (in my book, I've seen another second go off of that time in youtube hotlap videos), I snatched pole positon.

I hadn't planned for that. I was getting nervous. I practiced starts in warmup. It didn't help

I started horribly. Luckily, the car turned to the left and I didn't get anyone else in trouble. Now at the back of the field, I didn't have a reason to be nervous, anymore - that's something!

It actually did help me, though, I was very consistent for the next 15-ish minutes and went back to P3 pretty soon, gaining quite some time on P2 & P1 and getting close at around half-time - only to spin out on that curb in turn 1. Damnit!
Fortunately, I stopped the car in time and did not collect damage - having lost about 10 seconds but no position, it was back to gaining time, once more.
That second hunt didn't last for too long though as I managed to hit the curb again. Arrrrgh! (Seriously though, this grip behaviour does not make any sense at all. At. All.

) Anyway, this time I collected damage, went to pits, back out in 5th. Gained a position when Gabriel DNF'd and crossed the finish line in P4. Oh well.

Aaaaanyways, I really, really liked those beasts. Would love to give them another go somewhere

Thanks for organising, Dennis, and thanks for racing, guys

Manuel De Samaniego · Sep 18, 2014

Yeeehaaaaw

nice my first win in race 07

A good Q left me in second not very far behind @Björn Golda at the start he spun I think and that let me into first, another car passed me and I passed him again and I spent many laps holding with 1st place from @Gabriel Savu with thooth and nail until I had a lag problem braking into the hairpin after the long straight and had to leave the track, luck was on my side as I think he went off in the next lap because I saw some smoke on the first turn, I got into first possition and was many seconds ahead of second place so I didn't need to worry of having someone on my tail like Gabriel and just brought it home.

This win is for @Andreas Scholz

thankyou mate.

Thankyou Dennis and the organizers and congrats to @Peter Ell, @Damien Rouchon and all participants and thanks @Nelson Ullinskey for the fuel help.

Björn · Sep 18, 2014

Nooot sure if I'll make it, rather unlikely, to be honest - anyway, here's the skinpack link

If you want to see how other RD members have designed their cars, feel free to download & install the RaceDepartment Race07 skinpack:

For more information on the pack and how to get your car added, see this topic.

These cars are from the Devil but I find them fun to drive at times even though they are bears. I had no speed and decided to stay out of quali so as not to hurt anyone. I didn't think
i was going to get through lap one.

I made it through lap one but at the first turn of L2 I was on the white line and it spun me into the wall, time to pit. My drive from then on was fairly nice, I had a good steady rhythm and was conscious of all the cars coming up to lap me. I hope I gave way to everyone nicely. I had Campbell a good 50+ seconds ahead so I just wanted to stay on track. Two s pins and a bump later I was still running. A little bit of suspension damage acquired from the bump but very driveable.

Sometime around L6 I passed Reggie Snr without being near him! My replay has him off for a short time, entering the stadium I think but no off big enough to give me time to catch up with him.

I think we should run these again
