lol I didn't realise the car choice mattered so much, I just chose a blue one because it looked nice

Well you are very welcome to my 1965 of a dog

 

[Jimlaad43]

No, I'm merely hoping I was not in the 180HP car I'll take a free second or two.

Oops!
OK well it's a bit late now but I'll put a note in the OP. I may have done this in the past, but my failing memory.... what was I saying???

@Denis Betty Oh dear ... there are no excuses for the quick men I am afraid ! Actually not a problem at all. Pushing the 1965 taught me a lot and I could feel that something was not right and immediately got that confirmed as soon as the telemetry showed everyone's top speeds like 10-20 kmh quicker than me. The 1966 is a load stiffer and has a powerband compressed into 6-8K as @Jimlaad43 's life saving telemetry shows - it is 2 to 3 secs faster.

However instead of explaining this in future on the event poster, how about a grid with Denis handing out cars at random from all three different versions of the mod

After qualifying, the top 5 have to leave and come back in the 1965 cars

Anyway, let's not focus on times.... It's so addictive to just slide all the time... I think that's what I will do in the races... Just kill tires....

Let me give this a go

See you soon guys.

 

[Stan]

Hope I will make it. I did

 

[Daniel R.]

Hope I will make it. I'm already many hours awake, when my son decide he had enough sleep at 3 o' clock in the morning

I see nothing negative here... It just feels like the 5th stint in a 24h race... Should be immersive!!

 

[Yves Larose]

hey guy's, anyone can help me with discord ?

Edit: i think i have it figure it out

 

[max1966i]

I'm in...

 

[Dean Maković]

Sorry guys. I cannot race tonight because my truck is in some kind of mechanical failure and im still on road waiting for my boss. Enjoy guys and I hope to race with you next time.

Well this combo was proper fun! I really had a blast in both races, this is such a great combo, just doesn't get old. I'm not quite a master at sideways driving, nothing like some I've seen this evening, but I settled for keeping the car on the black stuff (almost) the whole time!

Thanks Denis for the event, and thanks all for racing!! It's great seeing such a big grid here tonight

 

[Jimlaad43]

That was epic. A great baptism into the world of rFactor 2 online racing! Thanks to everyone at the front for pushing me so hard, that needed so much concentration!

 

[Bumble]

All good fun. Apologies to @jackdyson31 for the tap in Race 2.

 

[jackdyson31]

Apologies in advance for tap to red car in R2, Thinking you were behind me still, I moved off line to the left to clear the RL for you but you were already commited on the left - as per the golden rule I waited and luckily things were ok. So sorry for that mate.

 

[Roberbond]

Somebody hit me in the first lap of the first race and I oversteed in the turn after the bridge in very lap after that crash. I had to repair the car and I couldn do anything.

But I enjoyed very much the second race. I could climb to the 8th position behind Denis and one lap to finish the race I tried to go faster in the last turn... but I lost control and spinned. Bad luck, because I couln't climb the hill next to the road and I lost 3 positions. But I loved it!

Thanks Denis for the race event!

Ps: Can I see if the damage to the car is fatal or not?

 

[jackdyson31]

All good fun. Apologies to @jackdyson31 for the tap in Race 2.

Think nothing of it please : that's racing

 

[Morne Du Plooy]

Really fun combo! Thanks to everyone for their clean driving and the back markers yielding to the front runners, as well as me fighting my way from the back in race 2 after binning it in T1!

Looking forward to next week!
