V8 #45 please

 

[Calvyn White]

I would have joined this event, of course, being an open-wheeler fan. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get released from prison (Hospital) I was expected to be released yesterday. Still, not happy about something I do not understand, but I did hear the words high blood pressure or something.
I have noticed my grandson dabbling on the leaderboard not bad for a 10-year-old. Little
He does iRacing with his dad. He did ask me if he could do the race, but I had to tell him it's against Race Departments rules. (Using somebody else's account}. He was outstanding with that as he said he didn't like the feeling of driving in the rain anyway.
Anyway, guys, have a good race keep it clean and keep it fun.
But I should be up and ready and raring to go on the next one if it's to my liking.
Until then and beyond, stay safe.

I made a huge mistake with the choice of tires .... I inflated them like balloons so I slipped everywhere !!!

 

[G-Slev]

I gave up after a couple of laps. It was impossible to drive and I was already up to 20 incident points.

 

[Jan Larsen]

I also made a huge mistake with tires in race 1 - selecting the wrong compound. Thats what happends when you dont pay attention...

Race 2 was a straight cruise really, @rustymoto kept me focused most of the race....until he didnt and I made a couple of errors. Got back into it again and kept the distance to the flag.

Great racing from where I saw it, did look and sound like there was a bit of action further down?

Hi @Oriol, if you sign up late again just go ahead and join us even if I haven't added you to the list, as I rarely check it after 20:00 UTC. You can still join all the way up to 20:30 UTC, after which the server is locked.

It was impossible to drive and I was already up to 20 incident points.

It's a bug mate. There are no incident points on RD servers, so you won't get kicked and they won't count against your R3E rating either.

Yes indeed, the first race was great fun though absolutely knackering. Big old battle with Nicolas for lap after lap, clearly holding him up but too damn stubborn to let him have the position!

We used to do 40+ minute races in these things. Bloody hell.

 

[Jan Larsen]

Funny thing was that the soft tires were gone after 10 minutes, litterally driving on the rims, yet the mediums still had more than 80% left after 20 minutes while only slightly slower. Talk about a difference between one compound!

Talk about a difference between one compound!

I'm thinking they're simulating the qualifying tyres of the same period as these cars. One or two laps on those at qualy speed and they were gone.

 

[Jopamir]

no pace, no grip, no joy
Congrats (and envy ) to all who could tame/enjoy these cars
Cheers

 

[Des Pearce]

Looks like you had fun, wish I'd been well enough to join.

Should be back for next week's outing.

False starts have been added to R3E multiplayer. Be aware that this feature will now be activated in all club events, so make sure you get practicing your standing starts! If you jump the lights you will get a drive-through penalty.

Manual control of the cooldown lap has also been added to R3E. You can enable it in the Gameplay settings menu. This option is user preference, use whichever mode you prefer.

I was thinking the BMW #10 that has the orange banner, but then I did 1 lap in the Mustang and blew my BMW leaderboard time right off the chart.
The Opel, Merc and BMW usually yield lap times within a tenth or two of each other for me. I'm in the Audi.
Mustangs for everyone!

BMW #10 ?
