No worries Theo, if someone drops out, I'll let you know. The choice of car and skin is up to you.

 

[Colin Herkes]

If you meant me, then you're probably talking about Crew Chief:

IMO it should be a mandatory app, especially for rookie events.

Thanks will get it sorted for Tuesday

@Ross Garland Well, some people don't like hearing an artifical voice talking to them all the time I think. Some also find the idea of a spotter unrealistic for these events. I believe some of the fastest drivers around here don't actually use Crew Chief, but then again they certainly know their way around a field of cars without it (him?)

I'd even agree on the realism part, but with a quite limited FOV on a single screen setup, I really see no other option but to use it. Well I guess I could be looking left and right all the time, but then I'd suck even more than I already do

Thanks for the heads up Mally! You're in @Theo van den Brink, the car choice is up to you.

So what exactly, is this "private" qualifying?

 

[kamackeris]

qualify on your own without others on the track....personally i prefer normal quali

We'd much rather do private quali seeing as we would have 3 different classes on track. Not ideal...

To be honest, for club racing I think the "realism" of a spotter is irrelevant. Racing incidents ruin people's day, so if there's a good way to significantly reduce them then I think it should be promoted. I've lost count of the number of times Crew Chief has made me aware of a car that I can't see in any mirrors or by using left/right glance. People hail me as a very clean racer during battles. Crew Chief is the reason why, without question.

Also you save time on the outlap in private quali, it has a rolling start.

So, everyone has the same 15 minutes but the computer just doesn't show the other cars when you're on the track, right? Does it display the other driver's times?

Yes Mike, your hud will still display your qualifying position and the timing from the other cars.

Sorry guys dropped connection

 

[Peter Bakus]

Yes please thx ;-)

 

[Peter Bakus]

Yessss please I cant wait for this one, the best combo so far ;-)))

 

[Kurupt CDN]

great race everyone congrats!
Love the DP had some bad luck 3/4 through when I got caught up with a P! and GT3 and spun it, than I went in for a pit and was coming out in front of Kenwood and I kept hitting the wrong button to deactivate the pit limiter than went to far into the braking zone and locked up.....sorry for that Kenwood.
Congrats to all the podiums and RD for putting this together!

 

[Chaos_DD]

A nice Gt3 also for me thanks

 

[UMC 22]

Well, that was a tough race! At the start I was having a hard time staying on the track, though it was mainly because I was out-driving myself. I was trying to hang with the other P1's, though it was mission impossible since all but two were 1+ secs faster than me in practice and qualy. Then at some point I appear to have damaged my rear wing, which was probably why I was having trouble keeping the rear in check. It was still a really fun race though with plenty going on throughout because of all the different classes.

One thing I hadn't counted on when I upgraded my pedals with the brake mod was the fact that I'm a desk driver, which means I sit on an office style chair with wheels on it. (on carpet so it doesn't roll easily.) That's no problem when your pedals are as soft as a melted marshmallow. Unfortunately, mine isn't anymore so every time I braked I was rolling backwards! I had to keep dragging myself forwards by pulling on my wheel. Lesson learned... I'll have a wheel-less chair for Tuesday!

Hearty congratulations to the podium and thanks to everyone that turned up!

PS: Once I have a car that isn't damaged and a chair that doesn't move, you will all feel the force of my super-duper pedal power!

I gotta say sorry for the T1 incident to anyone involved but specialy Tony @Sr.O - I misjudged the space I had and accelerated too soon so this is purely on me. It was really embarrassing. The fact that I droped right down to the back of the field due to this just might have saved me from those many incidents that happened in front of me thou .. It was still nice race and I enjoyed the big ammount of traffic on track! And to everyone who hates Monza - it is great fun to try Mozna with the McLaren Congrats to the podiums and thanks for the race!
