That was fun, thanks guys. There were a few moments where I got hit though, tapped by people so they could pass me, which is pretty annoying. Hopefully it was a one off because of the nature of the track. See you again soon, Saturday in fact!

 

[Bob Miley]

i'm pretty sure their will more of that kind of event an a near future Bob so i'm pretty sure you'll be able to grab the next one been a long time since we meet on track mate

Hope so. Yes a long time Yves, I just hope I can get closer to you next time.

I try and race every week in the Race 07 club, and from what I have seen what you speak of is a rarity. Tight track, and I heard someone had lag, so I highly doubt anyone was trying on purpose

I stuck in quali session ,time ends and nothing happens, so sad

Oh my - you were disconnected pretty early into quals, so there's the explanation for that There's an easy solution though - join us on TeamSpeak and we'll tell you when your connection drops. If we notice, that is


As for the event, that was - once more - some fantastic fun. I ran a few laps yesterday and got a setup done that felt more comfortable than the front-tyre-friendly ones from Brno, Gothenburg and Sturup
Had a nice battle for P1 with Andreas and Daniel throughout the practice sessions and managed to get a good lap in during superpole. Andreas took his time, though, and once he got going, everyone watched - must've got him a bit nervous? With small offs in the last turn in both his out- and hotlap, pole position was mine

Started pretty good into race #1 and kept P1 till the end. Now, that sounds boring, huh? Alright then, I actually had some great racing with Arunas once again - during the first third of the race, he kinda dropped back a few seconds but I think my tyres were getting worn a bit earlier so back he was on my bumper. Very close, very entertaining, very stressful - but great fun
To be honest, a lap or two more and he would've got me
Unfortunately, in these very close last laps, Zeynel and Andrew were coming up for lapping mid-battle themselves and might not have noticed us. Though, leaving much of a gap to Andrew wasn't really an option. Going into T3, he slipped on the curbs and I was too close behind to avoid bumping into his rear. Slowing down that tiny bit made Arunas hit my bumper, which increased the effect on Andrew who spun further. Sorry about that.

Going into race #2 from P8, I survived some minor (I hope?) lag-induced action in T1 and went up to P5, this time behind Arunas. Passing Michel after two or three laps, we went on to hunt down Daniel (maybe) and Zeynel (unlikely, great pace ). While I managed to hang on to our beloved "Volvo Guy", passing wasn't really an option. We did close the gap to Daniel, though, but it wasn't until the very last few laps - and passing him took some more work, though it worked out in the end - P3 and a shared P1 with Arunas for the entire event

Thanks for racing, everyone, see you around next time (GTC on Thursday? Just naming random examples.. )

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

Well, it is up in the air right now. Saturday plans are yet to be finalized, but it is leaning towards a no show for me. Looks like a ton of fun, you guys enjoy yourselves

 

[H34d5h07]

I like this track. Even thou it has some technical parts, it's fast and has a nice flow.
Not much to say about the race. I had early issues with tyre wear (1st race at lap 8 and 2nd race at lap 11) and the rear end sometimes just lost grip for some reason. It lead to me losing speed at key points, and thx to that, I didin't had courage to push as much as I wanted.

Nevertheless, it was a fun event

 

[Krzysztof Volek]

Track is much fun, there's always someone in front or behind to race with. I enjoyed both races and had some good racing with Dennis, Tobias and Filip. I hope I have not caused any major troubles for any of you. Thank you and see you on thursday's GT!

 

[Tobias Liesaus]

that was great fun. had in both races terrible starts but great, fair battles. cu next time guys

 

[Arunas]

That was great fun!
I'm out of words how this was so entertaining Great event!
I've started from P3 and was watching how unpredictable BMW's was, they were all over and caused some contacts

Race1 was about hunting @Björn Golda , and I was nearly P1.. But just one time.. Couldn't make it, so I've finished in P2. Great battle

R2 was another story, but with the same characters and finished similar
BMW's at the front and caused no contacts (I think)

Fight for P3 with @Belet Michel @Björn Golda and @Nelson Ullinskey . Two laps, but a lot of action

@Daniel Linder was suffering from tires degradation in P2. So it was time to hunt him down

Last lap. Last man to hunt down. But he survived - @Zeynel Babacan in P1

See You next time!

 

[Dennis Phelan]

It was a a day of "bad" for me, name it, poor choices, bad luck, not much worked in my favor today. I had reasonable speed but lacked the edge that I should have had at this familiar track.

After finding I had been running a default car instead of my highly tuned team vehicles I tried to get straightened out but I was behind the curve. My race engineer didn't give up and made some suggestions going into R1 but I had no chance to test them.

R1: All was good until I got to T1 and had to actually wait to get to T2 and then another delay at T3 was horrible as I watched one car and then another go by car. No contacts, just frustrating. In the hunt and a good fight with Krzysztof for a bit and then I put a wheel where it shouldn't have been and a fence took off my front clip, and messed up the suspension. Out of the pit just in time to get lapped and so it goes to the finish.

R2: An early off on the back straight put me waaay back and another fight with Krzysztof. All going well and then for the third time in the same part of the track I'm off to the infield and the fence. I slowly head to the pit to sit for the finish.

I think I'll keep my race engineer, his changes were good but I think my team manager has to go!

Thanks to all for the crowd!

Just an FYI. The issue with the rear tyre difference between practice and the race still remains.
The tyre wear is the same between the sessions, so it's not that. It's mightily loose on the rear compared though, rear brakes lock up in the race session where as they don't in practice.

@Arunas Linkevicius
Great images!

the tyre wear wasn't the issue with the tyres, the issue was that they wear heating on a straight that had sudden elevation change, the tyre wear was just a modifications that i did so it would match a certain pit stop window. when i was testing for fixing the rear end issue not gripping as much as in race compare to the other sessions i always used the same base setup and i always tested it with a full tank of fuel so if you run the car with low fuel during practice, qualification and warm up and then run a full tank of fuel in race session thats normal that the car have a different feel. in all the testing i did i was able to acheive the same times during a race session as in practice 2 or qualification with a full tank of fuel in each session.

...Fight for P3 with @Belet Michel @Björn Golda and @Nelson Ullinskey . Two laps, but a lot of action

...

Great pictures indeed!

I'm wondering - do you use some external settings to improve the graphics (Nvidia/AMD driver options)? I feel like your pics always look a bit nicer than what I'm seeing mid-race, but that might just be an illusion

 

[Gundars]

Sing me up please ,I hope this time i make it without connection problems

 

[ajokay]

Completely fishing in the dark, but I'd give "FVRV8_FG_2012" and/or "FVRV8 FG 2012" a try - that's the name as it appears as an INI (and other filetypes) file in GameData\Teams\FVR_Addons\FVR_V8SC2012\FORD

@Björn Golda, no luck I'm afraid, thanks for the suggestion though. I love mods, but I really hate this issue with a lot of mods.

 

[Arunas]

Its pure screenshots for replay and Im not using any additional software. I think it's because Im not using the in game camera angles

 

[Arunas]

I think I can make it, so Im in

 

[Tobias Liesaus]

edit: sorry wrong game

 

[James Price-Harper]

I can confirm the same issue @Yves Larose . I used a full tank in all three sessions and during the race session, there was a significant reduction in grip right from the get go. I was 1-2 seconds off my time in the previous sessions as a result. I know it takes a while for the track to heat up etc, but the grip loss felt more severe than that. The car would be undrivable after 6 laps, with rear tyre wear at about 80%. I mean completely undrivable. As in spontaneously spearing into walls and losing the back end on a quarter throttle as if i was driving on ice. The tyres had a much greater window of operation than that during practice.

It will definitely make for an interesting race.
