Great to hear you're interested Johannes. But before I can add you to the sign-ups list you must first apply for a license here.

As soon as you have done that I will add you to the list, and you will be able to find all of the necessary information in the first post of this thread.

Welcome!

first thing to do is apply for a license here.

Once your license is approved. You can sign up for any RD event, and passwords will be available.

Note: A license approval takes a few days.

But we have nice events every week.

See you at the racetrack.

sry guys but i have to drop out... i have to work this evening...

Frederic Schornstein · Mar 22, 2014

@Rene Riderer I watched the replay back and we had a very small contact. I hope it didn't cause any damage. Was a bit caught out by your early turn in there, but let you pass as I don't do off track or push to pass overtaking.

Thanks @Gijs van Elderen for the setup as I had to switch from the Porsche to a diffrent car. Qualy was ok P2, but my time was 7 tenth of Rene's which made me worry a bit.

Start was difficult as I didn't have any reference car in front in P2 and couldn't see Rene that well and overtaking before the line gives a penalty, so I lost P2, but took it back into the hairpin. After that I was really chasing Rene and I thought he stuggled with cold tyres, because I was certainly quicker. After a tiny touch I overtook him, but handed the place back, because I pushed him a bit off line and was off track as I overtook him. He had a little mistake into the last corner and I was past after 2 or 3 laps.

He was keeping me honest, but somebody smashed down the brake markes into the hairpin. I realised it just in time and just ran a bit wide, but Rene was really chaught out and lost 4 seconds.
After 10 laps he suddenly dropped back a lot and was leaving later. Don't know what happened.
I realised that with the pushing in the first laps tyres might be short and started to save them a bit. At lap 12 I realised, that 81Liters seemed to be an optimistic calculation and I started to save a fuel a lot. A lot of short shifting and coasting as I had a 15 second gap and by dropping one second in pace the gap was stable.

The TC is a bit weird, if you are driving one gear higher than you would normally do and I spun going slowly through the S3 chicane....
I went back on throttle nothing happend for 1 or 2 seconds, so I had to engage the clutch and then it got going. Now the gap was down to 4 seconds. For the rest I had to continue to save fuel and the gap got down to 8 tenth one time.
With one lap to go I had 4l left so I pushed hard on the last lap and got the gap back up to 2,3 seconds and crossed the line with 1 Liter felt.

Thanks to all the drivers and the good organization. The car switch was a bit on short notice, but it worked out in the end, but next time I will take more fuel. It is so annoying to save that much fuel...

Davy Vandevenne · Mar 23, 2014

Hehe, hard race for podium spot. This time i toke the lambo.
Still got problems with braking. its better than the SLS
For those who missed the race, you find every second in the stream.

Andrew Ford · Mar 23, 2014

Nice setup @Davy Vandevenne and well done. Where did Rene finish? Well done @Frederic Schornstein .i turned to the Audi late on and was pleased to do a competitive time..only one tenth off fourth place. I felt I could have found half a second. Ur was over fuelled for quali and didn't hook up the lap..then had to go out to see a friend . I do worry about the connection with this mod. It's fun but why so many disconnects ?

I am not sure what happend to Rene. We had a very small contact, which shouldn't have caused any damage. It was more a bit of side rubbing. Then we touched a wall a bit on the inside of the last corner, but was still very quick and on the replay he just entered the pits and left. No idea what happend there.

Rui F. Martins · Mar 23, 2014

i had a great time tonigth, i wasn't able to do a great time but i was able to keep it together during the entire race, apart from 1 spin on the first lap and overshooting the brake fo the hairpin when the markers were gone i only ran wide to the grass near the end, which resulted in a loss of time, other than that i had no problems during the race, which allowed me to climb through the order, i found myself in 9th place with a more than 30 seconds gap with 10 minutes to go, i decided to pit for tires, as my tires were starting to lose some grip, after that i ended up in 11th rigth behind Vandevenne, i tried to catch him but he was too fast and i couldn't reduce the gap, Teo joined our figth and Davy made a mistake which allowed me to overtake, i had a good battle in the last 6 or 7 minutes trying to recover from my pitstop, it was hard but very fun, i ended up in 10th, which was better than i expected

Congratulations top3 and those who finished the race

thank you for the race, see you next time

Rene Reiterer · Mar 23, 2014

i am really dissapointed. i think i had a small chance to win the race yesterday...
BUT after my qualy there was enough time left until the race start and so i decided to eat something. there was something wrong with the eggs i think. right before the start i had cold sweat on the forehead and strange noises came out of my stomach.

after a few laps i had to stop the race

@frederic, our contact causes nothing - my car was ok.

grats to the podium and all that could finish the race.
cu next time!
