Just joining 15gb of videos together :lol: opps, may take a while to upload to lubetube after converting / shrinking

I missed Bart on the roof... Gutted. Looks like I'll be putting a "crash" vid together :nod:

Sexy video, music doesn't suit it (but when I saw it was the right length I HAD to use it!) and the scenes aren't timed but I had mucho fun making the video, was an experimental video really, but I hope you guys enjoy it.

Very "Top Gun esq" :laugh2: Great vid

David Buxton · May 16, 2009

Did you not know Steve? We're in the Top Gun fan club :becky:

i dont really agree with superpole for a multiclass Endurorace. what if a Pro car messes up and starts last behind the slower classes? That person's Race is Most Likely Messed up since he will spend some laps behind slower cars.

Lately I've been doing many superpole qualifyings here at RD, I must say I don't like it much but I can leave with it as I (and we) can easily see it has a few well known advantages.

I'm sure Eric's idea here was above all to get rid as quickly/ troubleless as possible of the qualifying session. We all have to admit that if there is a type of event where the grid is of less importance, this is it...

Regarding a GTP tactic for the superpole; you can always decide for not risking it and just do a time lower than 1:51 as this last mark should put you in the GTS grasp.

Even if you go for it and mess it allot (getting a lap not counting warning for instances) and start from behind; if the slower cars (GTC/GTS) keep it to the right in the big straight you shouldn't have much trouble going by them. Regarding slower pace GTP cars, well maybe just adapt your race tactic (pit-stop strategy) to the new situation, 180 mins is a long time… here too the last can be the first

Peter Boszormenyi · May 16, 2009

As I wanted to race here tonight, as sure was something messes it up

Sorry guys, I cannot race tonight, it's a too long event for a saturday night to me, I would have to go 'round 10:00 cet, so i cannot start

But please sign up Henrik Horvath to my emptied slot if it's possible!
It's kinda last wish of me

Have fun tonite!!!

Gareth Hickling · May 16, 2009

Lets hope we can get Roy's and Peter's slots filled up, We need a full server!

Ivo Simons · May 16, 2009

If there are to many drop outs you can sign me up.

Bart Snijders · May 16, 2009

Just watched the 1st turn vid and saw myself making some "minor" errors there. Specially love the on after 34 sec were I make a 360 and drive away..... Does make me feel a lot better to see I wasn't the only 1 :nod:

Johan Bergqvist · May 16, 2009

Sign me up please. I just have to join in, sunday 22gmt it is...... *sigh* Hope I know how to apply a new class, though.... I'll try it tonight.

David Buxton · May 16, 2009

I know I came off there once I had rear end suspension damage but I did not see me on the video.
:good: cheers for that Ryan :love:
Oh yeah, great vid too :nod:

edit: I do believe that my vid will be ready from tomorrow
Still converting from .avi and it's over 500mb will take a while to upload with my speedy upload speed :wink:

Dennis Phelan · May 16, 2009

It's an interesting track, nice rhythm. It was overheard that this track is terrible on suspensions, I agree. I had one problem in a private practice severe enough to have to pit and I hadn't hit anything other than a curb!

Nice rhythm as I said, that didn't stop me from blowing the final turn in qualifying.

Race 1 ran so smoothly, fast pitting and moved up as attrition took people out, I guess. Pulled my fastest lap ever at this track, 1:10.3 ad ran a lot of 11's. An enjoyable drive.

Race 2 I was right behind Marty & Bill in the first turn, suspension got screwed up right there! It was bad but I stuck it out, rolled over once and continued, yadda yadda to last on the track.

I was using a new wheel last night. Some of you were caught out by my "Pass! Pass!" messages as you came up behind me, I was hitting the old "view to the rear" button which had been reassigned. Sorry for any problems.

James, if it happens, it happens. Nothing you can do. We are good drivers and surely we can overtake a slower class car.

i'm just saying in RL you would only fall to back of your classes Grid not the Whole grid. But i dont have a problem with starting from back since i'm used to it.

Craig Hume · May 16, 2009

Please add me. Will try the Beemer for the first time.

Ok, i am totally useless in the BMW, so please change me to the Seat

Ken Hunter · May 16, 2009

Please add me . Will also try and embarrass myself with the BMW

Agreed!!! Would be a shame to start this with a half empty grid.

James Johnson · May 16, 2009

could always save a place for RDTV?

Werd

We have a total of 4 reserves as of right now. Two on the list and then there is Henrik and Ivo whom have expressed their interest. So hopefully we should be able to maintain a full grid.
