[Jason Pitts]

Way to go Freddie! I'm still struggling to be competitive here. I think I will try to find some public races with the GT Pros to try to figure out how to get faster.

 

[Ollie Chamberlain]

Ollie, you need to reduce your speed prior to entering the pits to 37mph, otherwise its a Stop n Go for speeding in the pitlane. Lee I was getting to enjoy the race aswell. Went for my pitstop, added fuel, changed tyres. But then the engine wasnt starting up. I got a DNF. Second time this is happening now. Grrrrrrr.

thanks very much mate.
i`ll be there next time. was on for a good finish too.

till next time:victory:

 

[Eric. K]

So now... should we do another DTM or move on??

Fix yr buttons for ignition and start, or smth like that, look in the menu options and click controls, now look for ignition and the one just below...:wink2:

 

[Eric. K]

Of course. That's what I updated to, as I said in the original post. Didn't seem to help though... :sad:

Well, I always put the server up a few days before so you can resolve these kind of issues before hand

 

[Ross McGregor]

Good race guys, sorry to whoever i hit up the back early in the race. (I'll check the replay) There was a major lag and you suddenly went from the racing line to right in front of me almost at a stand still! Good racing though.

 

[Chris Rogerson]

I had awful lag issues and stutters, James lapped me then it looked like he spun, i tried to avoid him then he disappeared:S ??

Seems like others also had some issues?

 

[Johan Bergqvist]

Good race all, always seem that I can improove my times late in race I guess I have to start practising more then. see you maybe next time lot's of fun with theese cars.

 

[Yuri Braham]

Nice race guys,

at last i'm on the podium. Had a good start.
had no problem in the first lap with the race pace. After a few mistakes (1 big one) i ended up 9th. After a nice quick pit. i was back on the track, about two laps from then i saw 3 th place on my position. After that there was a gap towards the second from 15 sec. I decided to accept the third place and drove not on the edge.

see you at the next race.

 

[David Barry]

I had a very fun time in the race tonight, the hour went by very fast. Got an okay start but picked up a few positions in the first few turns. I bumped Abdul on lap 2 and spun him out in turn 4 I believe, forgot to stop, very sorry abdul and I'm sorry to hear your engine didn't start after the pits. Later in lap 2 coming up to the chicance I went inside Nick Deeley to pass and outbraked myself a bit and when I turned in I pulled the wheel towards me on accident causing my rig(homemade) to tilt and my monitor to fall over. Because of this I instinctively let off the gas coming out of the chicance and Nick tapped me on the back and spun me out(luckily out of the way of the coming racers). Took me a second to get my monitor back up and in to place and get back on the track but Nick was waiting for me when I got back. Thanks for waiting up, but that one was totally my fault.

After lap 2 everything came together for me and I started posting consistent, though slow, laptimes. I know I much much slower than most(running 1:59 - 2:00) but when I got to lap 16 my gas gauge was saying I still had half a tank, When I setup the car at the beginning I put on 70L enough it said for 18 laps, I went into the pits anyway just to be safe, but definitely could have got by without it I think. Ended up finishing in 9th out of 12 I believe, quite a bit of fun and had several good battles throughout.

Did anyone else have lower fuel consumption than they were expecting? I usually expect some variation, but half consumption is a bit suspicious.

I hope your monitor is still in one piece.
the fuel consumption for this car on Nurnberg GP is 2.5 each lap.
i noticed it on the track of Sepang that the indicator wasn't right in the setup menu.
So with 76 liter you could finish. (i chose for 77 just to be sure)
its always handy to check your fuel consumption during practice.

 

[James Yates]

The setup menu fuel estimate is usually wrong with modded cars/tracks - it also differs between people...

I had 70L at the start, put 15L in on lap 18 and only had about 8-10L left at the end. Easiest thing to do if you are unsure is go and run a couple of laps in the warmup, take note of the fuel when you cross the line and then when you finish that lap check it again. Whatever the difference is should be the amount you will use per lap in the race give or take .1.

 

[Nico Major]

First, these cars are great.
Got second, because Keith had to leave a little earlier, but I'm not realy satisfied with this race for myself. My pace was OK, not as good as James, but comparable to Keith, but I did too many small and medium mistakes. One of them was tapping Carlos Seoane on a lapping move. Very sorry for that. I waited for you unitl I realized you left.

 

[Yuri Braham]

I was wundering where Keith did go.
He was suddenly gone .

 

[David Barry]

Ah, thanks for clearing up the fuel issue. I definitely should have looked at that during practice(I'll remember to do that next time).

Thankfully my monitor is still in one piece, I managed to catch it before it fell on the wheel, I'm glad I spun out of the exit of the chicance(with a little help from nick) to the closed bit of track so that I didn't cause a massive wreck.

Now I know I need to secure my monitor a little better. :rotfl:

 

[Philip Grimm]

I'll take a reserve spot for the sport class.

 

[John Sydenstricker]

Pretty good race! I qualified at the back, as usual. I did fairly good at the start, managing to avoid accidents, until about the 5th turn when someone going to the inside of the turn bumped me off the track After seeing that nobody waited and that I was now in last I was pretty irritated. But after a couple laps I managed to work my way back up, mostly due to other's spin outs and accidents. I finished 8th so it worked out pretty good for me.

 

[John Sydenstricker]

Now I know I need to secure my monitor a little better. :rotfl:

I have the same problem, except with my steering wheel. I had to switch to using the shift lever instead of the paddles, because with both hands on the wheel I tend to rip it loose from my desk in turn when my car understeers. With the shift lever I only keep one hand on the wheel so maybe the wheel will live longer

 

[Aritan Maia]

Guys,
just did some tests with the cars engines to check how reliable they are and I think I'm gonna change my car from the Aston to the Corvette.
I'm gonna post my new skin later this week, ok.
Eric, please remove the Aston from the skin post.
Thanks a lot.

PS: Thanks Ryan for the tip. I think the Aston can handle the enduro, but I'm gonna stay with the most reliable one.
