Nice video Mark! I'm driving the red mini in the end of the video. I saw you cruising down the slope on your roof from a distance and stopped by for a sec to laugh haha Great stuff

What's the consensus on track limits here? I can just about manage a 1:32 but I'm humping the kerbs like a pubescent Spaniel, even though they're well past the white lines.

i don't see any problem with that ... maybe only in the 2 fast 4 and 5'th gear corners, but even there if you get it wrong you're thrown off the track instantly.

 

[Nik Hughes]

Yeah it's not like some tracks where you can gain a massive advantage with no repercussions (like Adelaide 1st chicane), and over 80 minutes I'm sure it will happen often enough without people noticing!

 

[Jorge Alves]

im in

 

[Ariciuc Razvan]

Crap my game crashed in warm-up! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I guess I can consider myself a MINI O'Young!

 

[Nik Hughes]

Unlucky Ariciuc!

My race started well, qualified 11th but found myself 3rd briefly after a mix of a good start and a couple of spinners. Was running 4th right behind Bob until I made a mistake and dropped to 6th, Was in a good fight with Hugo and a couple of others for a while until I made a mistake about 30 mins in...hit the wall and got a puncture, luckily at the last corner so I could pit without too much lost time.

Had good fun chasing down Dave and Stefan (including twice passing Stefan round one of the fastest corners on the track...I know I had fresh tyres but it was so much fun!)...in the end kept pushing too hard and as a result made mistakes, passed Dave twice, and Stefan four times I think thanks to my mistakes....then pushing too hard this time I couldn't keep away from the barriers and got race ending damage.

Shame because this is such a great track, hadn't seen it until today, hope we have more races here!

 

[Leon Charmant]

Wow. That was amazing stuff.
It was quite scary the first few laps with everybody so close, but I managed to survive.
On lap 7 I suffered a spin which set me back about 10 seconds from the pack in front of me.
On lap 16 I made my first pitstop of the race, followed by a second pitstop in lap 32.

I knew I was way behind but then I started to realise that Dave and Stefan (the guys in front of me) were possible targets.
I was behind about 15 seconds but I had the most fresh tyres of everyone at that moment, so gradually I started making my way towards them. Finally after 20 minutes of controlling the car and creeping ever so closer I caught up with them.

I overtook Dave (he seemed to have a missing front bumper) and at the last 2 laps I was on Stefan's tail.
Very very exciting. I loved the gradual progression I was making in the last stint. Once I reached Dave and Stefan I felt really glad.

My 2 stop strategy might not have been fastest (I actually thought more people would stick to a 2-stopper) but it was lots and lots of fun after my second pitstop.

Jimi mangled with us the last 5 minutes as he was lapping us. I used it as an advantage to overtake Dave between turns 5 and 6.

Great fun guys. It was a real learning experience for me Thanks for the racing!

 

[Dave Begley]

That was the most exciting race ive driven in.

The circuit was excellent and made you have to concentrate every single lap. Very close clean racing with lots of action to keep me on my toes. Spent the whole race swapping positions with Stefan and trying to not let anyone else pass.

I was very suprised that so many left and in the end only 11 drivers were still racing.

Great pass Leon, took me totally off guard and i made a mistake trying to catch back up. I think the 1 stop i did was a bit far for the tyres really and was fighting to keep control on almost every corner near the end.

Congrats to everyone that finished the race , it was a very challenging circuit .

See you all next time.

I though it was going to be an interesting race. Well it was, but not as I thought.

I deleted my second setup today by a mistake so I tried to remember which values were there. I was as fast as in offline practice in warm-up, so I guess I got it right. It was slightly tweaked default setup anyway.

I did some things to my system this time and looks like my game was quite smooth this time. But my pc stuttered when someone left the game. It was terrible. I got also two terrible stutters in two critical moments. First, when I was on 5th (6th ?) place and lost control when jumping over kerb because of that and spun in the last chicane.

Then, and it was very courious, my pc stuttered in 3rd corner in that chicane and my car flipped over! :eek: It was in lap 15, I think. Does anyone have a replay?

So I went to pits with damaged car and fill my tank to full. I didn't want to quit because I wanted to check my pc performance and also try to experiment with different lines and braking points. It looked like I was going to fight for 7th place, but I forgot to brake in the first corner and did "Massa's manoeuvre" - spun.

It was pretty wild and I have no idea how some guys do that - to be that fast in this race. Really, no idea.

I'm going to investigate tomorrow, again, what's wrong with my pc. It starts getting on my nerves.

 

[Hugo M Goncalves]

Well,one more race to learn something about stop and go wrong key and got a pit stop instead of stop and go and got disq omg!
Above all,had lots of fun racing with you all,nice challenge for the MIni in this great track,hope to see you guys in future events...
Cheers
