Rules:
If you have not entered the server and driven a few laps with fellow drivers before we go to qualifying you are to late for that session. Please think of your fellow drivers and get out on track with them, watch how they drive, you can't race with guys you have not seen drive.
We ALL brake a little differently and drive the corners differently, get used to how they drive and then we can all race more safely.
If you drop out of the server during qualifying you can return.

This is being held in our Club, using Club Rules, and should be driven in that spirit.

As fun as it may be, I'm stuck at work for another hour and a half... Better chances next week when I'm working early shifts, but I guess the gap between races next week will be a bit bigger than usual

Was actually enjoying things and was slowly getting the hang of it before I missed the braking point at turn 1 and that was the end of it

T1 isn't exactly a popular corner this week

Done some laps with this combo so I should be better prepared

Attached is my setup. Probably not the best setup but would like to get some feedback on it

Allan Ramsbottom · Dec 20, 2015

you can open it with notepad or noetpad++ but you should be able to put the file in the track folder under Settings and load the setting in the game.

What an race event!
This was buy far the hardest combo we had I guess!
We need to restart both races due to some sad crashes directly after start!^^

1. Race
After Quali I was on 2nd position after Stig DNF his quali directly behind Allan, had an awesome start sadly Allan not could see in the mirror he lost his car and stands crosswise in the middle of the track. Then we restarted bud sadly allan was gone already. Not sure which place I made at finish but was an great race.

2nd Race
I was 3rd in Quali behind Jack and Hans.
In the race I had nice racing action with hans after nearly the half race I could pass Hans because he failed was already 6 seconds infront of him then I missbraked infront of the hairpin he passed me there again. I was again behind him. One lap later he got into trouble at the first or second left I would easily to pass him but couldn't see him he was all the time covered from my mirror so I had to wait until I see him again. From that moment on I tryed to keep up to him but often forced it a bit to much and was using the bugatti like an lawn mower.
Jack finished the race at first behind him was stig and then Hans.
Seems the old sacks liked this combo very much

I got on 4th.
What an funny race but really not my favorit combo this was
Thanks to stig for giving your setup that rescued Hans race and gave him an place on podium!
Really enjoy this friendly club!
For me the winners this evening Jack and Hans nice to see you guys on the podium!

If we didn't see before christams on the track, sadly have to work until 23.12.
I wish all you guys an nice Christmas! See you on the next sunday Race!

Jack Smith · Dec 20, 2015

Nice post Stan.
I was using a setup from Warren... that I changed a little and then made another change suggested by Stig, which ended up being a pretty good setup. This track was hard to stay on......the car wanted to leave it at several corners.... very challenging......and I was exhausted after the two races ( old guy stuff). Couldn't use TS because of grand daughter singing/screaming in the background. Too bad we didn't get Allan back in time but he was out of there faster than Hans on a race start...zooooom ...gone.... lol
Thanks Jarek for setting things up. Cheers to all drivers. Have a merry holiday all.
