Great size grid for tomorrow's race, let's hope the driving standard returns to normal. I don't have chat enabled so I can't keep an eye out for "silly people" during quali or the race.

Any issues please let me know after the race

Great size grid for tomorrow's race....

Yep :) here's to hoping everybody will actually show up. I'm really looking forward to this one, such a great old school track. Should provide some good racing !

let's hope the driving standard returns to normal.

Well, quite a few familiar names on the grid, we should be good I guess. Fingers crossed !

If anyone gets chance today could you please have a quick look through the entry list tonight and let me know the names of anyone with a really poor record (specifically incidents per race / dnfs) I've already removed one potential T-bone specialist. I'll try and do this for each event until controls come in to limit who can join based on ratings.

Most names look familiar and have raced with us before, a couple of new guys with 0 races to their name but that's not necessarily an issue since we all started out that way :) But check you PM in a while @SwannyUK

Cheers Sascha, that's a big help. Yep new guys and girls are always welcome - it's the drivers that appear to have been participating in wacky races that I'm interested in :D

Stunning race tonight.

The Macca had good pace around here but there was no way around Marco's big *ss Bentley. I managed to get side by side on one occasion but the turn sequence favoured him so had to go for a cut back that didn't quite work.

I hope everyone else had a good, clean race. Really happy with the numbers tonight but please remember It's just me running the ACC club at the minute so I can't keep an eye on everyone to make sure rules are followed. Please do PM me with any issues you encounter.

Cheers all!

Awesome and clean battle tonight with Chris.
On lap 12 you made me sweat! [well, not only on lap 12 :)] Side by side, no contact... I enjoyed all the race.
The pace was the same, in one sector i gained tenths and in another you gained tenths.
Let me go to train for Kyalami.
I'm happy to have seen a lots of drivers and I hope that more will join us in the next races.

Ciao a Tutti!
 
Great race, not a single overtake but a good race pace fight with @sebastalona , and thank you for giving me space on turn 3 while i was on the inside.
Anyway i let you by later after my mistake again in T3 (i'm glad that i lost only one place and didn't damage the car) :roflmao:

Thanks Eduardo, great race. I realised quite quickly after a couple of laps behind you that it would probably be a small mistake from either of us to make the difference!

That was an exciting race ! It started a bit messy when I had to brake hard going into T2 on the 1st lap to avoid T-Boning Lee's Bentley after he spun across the track. Got tagged in the rear as a result but luckily without much damage or lost time. Spent the remainder of the race having a great battle with the Aston of Luca Borsari, running nose to tail for the entire race. There were a few moments where I thought I might get past, but we were so evenly matched and he defended well, so no dice. At one point it turned into a 3-way battle when Magnus caught up to us in his Ferrari and I had to switch to defending. I managed to hold him off for a lap or so but he outbraked me into T1 and I had to let him go as he had much more pace.

It was great fun and good to see so many racers showing up tonight. Let's do this again at Kyalami next week ! :)

Hi guys, nice to see you had a great race, I'm planning on attending the Kyalami race as a test. While I know we dont discuss laptimes, but can someone get me a ballpark laptime for middle of the field'ish pace from the Hungaroring race? Trying to judge where I am pacewise.

Hi Jan, just join us and see what happens I'd say :) To give you an idea, I'm a true midfielder in this merry band of racers, and my best lap times at Kya are in the 1.42.7xx to 1.42.9xx range. Those we're in the Audi Evo, I'm now trying to "master" the Vantage V8.

EDIT: my best at Hungaroring so far is a 1.45.9xx in the Aston, but I didn't manage that in last night's race. My best race lap was a 1.46.146 (quali 1.46.083)

Hey Jan, I'll try and put a few laps together this week and see where I'm at :thumbsup:

As @sebastalona said, since when do you qualify as "midfield" Chris ? :O_o: :roflmao:

If you go on the results page on the RD community on Simracing.gp you can check the results of the past events and see the lap times, it's useful to get an idea of the pace even if it shows only the best lap time.
