Just hoping I could race in Malaysia for real next time

I had a weird problem: every time in sector 3 when I was within a second to the next car the game started lagging (some sort of weird lag, even the FFB was weird at those times). Only happen on S3 (last 3 corners).

All in all a great race, happy with the debut. From the last row of the grid finished in 10th place.

Hi all. I lost connection during the formation lap (WT - G2). Shame on me. Hope to more luck in the near future.

Nicholas Fischer · Apr 7, 2012

Today highlighted to me the enormous difference between drivers in WT. A handful of teams and drivers are serious about the race and the others clearly should not have been on the grid today.

I get that you have to learn but learn how to drive the car before you take it on the freakin track during the official race. I got taken out twice today by cars ahead of me: one that completely lost control but did not bother to try and get out of the way of traffic and the other by a car i was LAPPING. I swear this makes my blood boil. My race was absolutely ruined as I had to sit in the pits for 40 seconds twice while I repair damage from some fool who does not know how to drive.

Quite clear that a large majority should not participate in the next race and make way for those who actually want to bloody race. The lack of track and driver awareness has left me wondering whether FSR can be considered a professional league. Honestly a lot of you today need to evaluate whether you belong racing.

It's the first race of the season on a new mod Nicholas, people are going to be struggling and making mistakes, the only big problem I saw for you is when Johannes crashed and hit the barrier which sent him into the track again, you can't blame someone for that.

Rob Swindells · Apr 7, 2012

A bit disappointed to start 19th (Grid 1) but very happy to come home 7th. It was a really good race for me and I had a great fight at the end with Maurice Brackhahn

Adam Hartwell · Apr 8, 2012

Just checked my GPCOS account, 5 race entries 1 win joint 13th in the standings despite only being in Grid 2, i can't stop smiling.

I´m sorry you got hit by my car which was bouncing off the wall when i lost control. Not much I could do about that once it was gone, my race was over after it, that´s racing.

You should however think about what you say, calling others fools out of frustration about your race/performance isn´t very wise and wont win you any friends here.

I had a decent qualifying.

Start of the race was horrible for me, as I tried to be P1 after Turn 1, just broke as early as in test-races but my brakes didnt react. Got hit in Turn 2 by someone behind me, race over.

Anyway, we have the pace for the win here, just have to be more careful

Sami Pesari · Apr 8, 2012

Jan dont want to remind you but sounds awful alot like 2010

Matteo Zandona' · Apr 8, 2012

first race of my first fsr season......unfortunately brake problems

Andrew Ford · Apr 8, 2012

hi all. looking to get into this in the future.
i need some info such as:
what version of rfactor is this?
what mod is it?i.e. is there a way i can try this to see if i can get competitive times before committing to a future league etc?

anyone who can point me in the correct direction...thanks in advance. can't seem to find a forum with info.

cheers

Fred Owen · Apr 8, 2012

v1.255 version
FSR mod (see news and announcements section) - it uses simsync pro
Check the hotlaps part of the FSR website (http://www.formula-simracing.net/)

i just wanted to say sorry guys for everything.
i wasn't well at all and had fever the night before...thought i'd be okay to drive, clearly not.
i qualified 8th - i hit someone under braking into T3 - whoever it was i apologise.

i hit you because i was fiddling with my boost - i forgot to set it to 1 for the start of the race after the formation lap - whilst i was trying to find the button on my keyboard i missed my braking point and went straight into you - so sorry.

anyway lost my front wing and tried to get back to the pits as fast as possible without getting in anyones way. hope i didnt cause any disruption.

i thought prequal was real messy - to get a clean lap in was a nightmare - but actually a nice challenge to try and find some free space.

Adam Hartwell · Apr 12, 2012

We have a boost system?

Tim Brook · Apr 12, 2012

Yeah, it adjusts the revs. I don't know why you'd ever run it on anything other than 1. Just make sure you open up the rad a bit.

Anyway, my race was ruined by a bit of poor judgement on my part. I thought I'd left room / was in front on my way around the outside of someone and I didn't. Ended up down in 20th. Got back to 11th and then the engine blew. Blew the opportunity for a good finish.
