since it doesn't say can you confirm that we are using the enduro layout and not the tourist layout? pits are horrible on the latter.

Looking Back In Time

We ran this track with 23 drivers last year in December. Here is a link to the results so you can mark your progress.

 

[Dave Stephenson]

can u plz sign me up
never tryed online so could be spinning all over the place

more likely to understeer into a wall in these

 

[Remco de Wildt]

It will be the tourist layout Dave.... will update the top post

take it easy on the pit :wink:

 

[James Fellows]

On it now, think my setup is there for my C5R. Set my Splitter/Wing to 1/4, gets me up to 197mph but with less drifting than the 200 i topped with 1/1. Messed with my dampers as my car didnt like some of the bumps and it appears to have worked although I think I am losing a second at the first chicane, I take it in a low rev 3rd. Fastest time is a 3:37 but I reckon with a tweaked setup and practice to iron out those dodgy corners and I might get a high 3:34.

I am wondering though, is the C5R slower than the other cars?

 

[Dave Stephenson]

oh that sucks. I hate that pit entry, I seem to do myself a mischief every time. It is the best place to bust your suspension though

See it from the bright sight....your pitcrew is nearby :tongue:

 

[Ryan Callan]

LOL Remco - nice comeback

 

[Jarrod Keen]

James, don't know about this track but generally speaking, the vette is super competitive. It has the top end speed to compete with all others and the only other car that may be straight line faster is the viper.... but it's generally thought of as a pig in turns...

At least that's my impression of this class after 3 years of racing them. The vette should be a strong choice on fast tracks.

Well my internet just came up, a little to late. Such a shame to since I felt pretty good about this race. We had a storm come through that took out the internet 30 mins before race time. I was able to get a 1.16.1xx in the few laps I got in on the server and as low as a 1.15.4xx in offline practice. This really blows, I hope you guys had a good race.

 

[Eric Estes]

Larry and I saw that and called in the storm. You would have smoked us both tonight . Seriously though - sorry you couldn't make it. See you Monday.

Didn't have a very good night, but I did enjoy myself. 11th in the first race, 11th in the second.

Race 1: Just didn't have the pace. Any pace. Most of the limited number of races I've been in so far, I was fairly consistent and could grab some positions due to incidents and the occasional lucky pass, but I just was not with it on this one. Lots of off track excursions, lots of emergency braking when I realized I took a corner wrong. I think I would've been better with some more practice...haven't been able to hit it as hard as I usually do, and it showed.

Race 2: Better. Race 1 was a decent crash course. Was chasing Eric E. and Jan for the first half of lap one until I bumped Eric and the time taken the let him get back on the track let everyone else get away from us. Didn't care, though, since I'm always up for chasing him down a hill. He went off track a little after the next corner, I got my position back, and he pursued until I ate some curb and he slipped by...and then it happened again. What was shaping up as another fun battle effectively ended (I think this was the end...) when I ended up in the sand off turn 2. I was keeping pace with him and hoping for the fight to resume when I got bumped by a lapping car at the next to last turn, and, rather oddly, got stuck on a sign. I had to scream at the car to get it back on the track, and by the time I did, Eric E. was nearly thirty seconds ahead. I narrowed the gap to 24 or so at one point, but more little accidents kept me from getting any closer. Ended up with some suspension damage toward the end after another blue flag incident, but it was academic by that point.

Race 2 in the GT race on Monday felt like my best drive so far. This (Race 1, specifically) felt like my worst. That said, I still enjoyed it. I just hope the track next week lacks the massive curbs.

Incidentally, with all the banging around in Race 2, I'm actually pretty happy I managed to finish at all.

Missed ya' tonight, William!

 

[Larry Stovall]

Hey Eric, I probably won't be able to compete Monday, but on the off chance I might be able too (not likely), is it all right if I do a few laps on the practice server over the weekend?

 

[Eric Nelson]

Man yo ucan lap whenever there is a server available for any RD event! Go break some cars, we'll make more!

I am starting to feel a bit like Danny Pedrosa around here. When I win, it always seems to be a runaway from the start. I rarely manage to fight my way into the lead and have loads of bad luck. lol Any ways...

Quali: I decided to give Keith's setup a try and was only able to pull a 13.8, so with 6 minutes left on the clock I switched back to my setup. I was immediately faster and eventually clocked in with my PB of the day, a 13 flat.

Race 1: Surprisingly I didn't mess up the start for once and had a gap of about 1.6 second by the end of lap 1. On lap 2 whom ever was chasing me spun, opening the gap to 2nd by about a second or two. By the time Tyler managed to work his way up to second the gap was at about 5 seconds. He was now closing slowly closing on me and I heard some one say "I'm realing ya in" over teamspeak. Not sure whom it was, but that was like the GO GO GO for me. The following lap I dropped into the 13's and tried to keep it there for the remainder of the race. I managed to open the gap to 10+ seconds and finally slowed the pace a bit with 2 to go and brought her home in 1st!

Race 2: With the reversed grid I started from 8th. Spun the rears quite a bit off the line, but was able to make up a bit of ground coming into T1 on the brakes. Followed Jan around for a couple of laps and eventually managed to stick it up the inside of him in T12. I soon found myself chasing down Saul and Keith up front and was closing in quickly, but everytime I got to within about 1.5 seconds of them, I would make a small mistake getting it a little sideways and the gap would open to 3+ seconds again. Eventually Saul went off gifting me 2nd. It didn't last long though as I continued to slid around looking for the grip I had had in the first race. Then it happened. I hit the brakes a little to hard causing the rear to kicked out, sending me into the wall and leaving me with a flat front left tire. I also noticed my wheel was crooked. 45 degrees to the left was straight. I proceeded to the pits and got a new set of front tires and fround myself in a surprising 9th place. After about a lap or two to get used to the suspension damage I was quickly catching up to Dennis, Lazlo and Jan. I eventually put it into the wall again as the car oversteered out of T12, which oddly enough straightend out my wheel. It was evident that my suspension was all messed up - only capable of low 15's - but straight being straight helped a lot. lol... I had a bit of a hard time getting around Lazlo, who was carrying way less corner speed than I was. I ran up on him a few times and had to panic brake to avoid coliding with him, which would set me back. He eventually ran wide onto the grass and I could slip through cleanly. I managed to fight my way back up to 6th and was less then 15 seconds down on Tyler at the end. Considering my pit stop for repairs, I am actually quite happy with the result.

This was as always a great Track/Car combo. Really enjoyed myself and was pleasently surprised with tonights grid size. Up to 12 from last weeks 6. Great job Eric! :thumb:
