Congratulations All participants and Dennis more RD for event

 

[Belet Michel]

yes, about my set's, but perfectible, was too slow but, give me good turns with little changing.
So the Race, i would like to say, it's my fault if @stig B. was out. Sorry!
I restart, then, in the lasts, in lap 2, was pushing me to drive very quickly, made any out, and it was a good race.

 

[Peter Ell]

Great race today, I really enjoyed it.

But... I messed my setup files and when we were qualifying I used my race setup and when the race started I used my qualifying setup! That's why my engine overheated and caused the holywood like smoke coming out of my car.

This forced me to decrease the throttle when the turns were tight (to cool my engine and stop hearing the annoying guy saying "Your engine is overheating" again and again) which made me lost time. That's how my race went.

After the race finished I think someone told me in chat to give him my setup file. (I am not sure if he referred to my setup) I'm sorry but I don't remember his name but if I'm right and you still want it, PM me.


P.S.;
By the way, Dennis, a big thanks for answering about the rules . You were very clear and understood as always. This made me see things in a different and more clear way.
Mid-Ohio was a very good choice and one of my favorite tracks.
Thank you and the RD staff for organizing these races. Looking forward for the Mini race.

I ran a good number of laps yesterday with Michel, Chris, Paul and others.It was time well spent as I worked out bugs in a good car to make it better. We were all there so long I even got to run in traffic and find out how it handled in those conditions.

Q: It was a fast car, not in top speed but in quick around the track. It stuck like glue and cornered without any grief. I put in a lap using race fuel that was way too fast and put me too high on the grid. I tried to DQ myself for a better position but it didn't work so I exited and came back in. Happy me, last on the grid!

Race: Overall it was a very uneventful race but lots of fun. I got to drive and drive.....
I never tried to pass anyone yet I kept moving up in the listing. I didn't try anything adventurous though my laptimes continued to fall until late in the race. In practice while on TS I had told drivers that trying to go fast was just plain wrong here and it worked for me in sooooo many places around the course, balance. Consistency was all I was looking for.

I was running a rear wing of 13, can't remember the front and I think my top speed was about 5-7kph under the highest I saw. I don't think the straights were that important with so many corners yet it looked like so many were running little wing.

Every time we run this track we get a good turnout, that;s to all that love it. For real drivers in the USA running as amateur racers this is the track that was used to determine the National Championship for each class from 1994-2005 and will be used again in 2016. It also has a great history with Indycar's and AMA motorcycle racing.

Thanks to all of you for coming out for the event and since half the field was lost this time, I hope you have better luck next time!

Hey Dennis, Sign me up please. I like to try the Mini Friday Fight.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Valerio Vinassa , on one of the last laps, coming out of the keyhole to the back straight in 4th gear my screen went black as my video card froze the PC. I stomped on the brakes and hit some keys to get out and back, found myself sitting in the middle of the straight , stopped in 4th gear[!] as I hoped I might. As I Was shifting down to start up I got passed but got going before you showed up

 

[Oscar Gustafsson]

I would like to sign up

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Welcome to RD's Race 07 club @Oscar Gustafsson ! I hope you enjoy the race.

This is a 40 minute race and will require a pitstop for at least two tires during the middle laps. If you aren't familiar with pit stops read this.

It's ok, he knows, I told him everything (friend of mine irl^^)

Sign me up please!

Quali: Pulled a time from... somewhere... to line up 4th
Race: These cars are not easy to get off the line, but only lost one position. Stuck my nose inside someone(?) into Keyhole; guess he wasn't expecting it, as he turned into me. Oh well; neither of us lost a significant amount of time. Then on lap 7, I tried to pass @Joe Cannarozzo at the end of the back straight, way too late, and nerfed the tyre wall, damaging my suspension (really?). Thankfully it was within the pit window. Spent most of the rest of the race just hotlapping, until I found Joe chasing me down at the end after the pitstops put me back in 4th, which I held onto.

Makes up for last night, at least

 

[Dennis Phelan]

The more you race the better your cars get! Mine was fun to drive today.

I put one lap in on race fuel to quali and I liked the time so I took it.

Other than a nervous moment with Oscar at the chicane on L1 it was just lapping at race speed. Fr a while I thought that Joe had pitted and it looked from the time lost that he only took two tires so I had to stay on the ball until I went in. But then, I saw him in the pit with me and knew he had been tooling around in the grass somewhere.

Thanks to all for showing up and grat's to Nelson and Peter for showing us real speed! This was a good show as we only lost one driver through the whole race!

 

[Peter Ell]

It was a good race !

Didn't practise and I hadn't set up for the race, strangely I think I did well in race, trying not to make a big gap from Nelson Ullinskey which was a bit faster.
In 2nd place, I had no fights for my position and none to push me. Unfortunately this was the only bad in the race, the good thing was that I had to hunt Nelson, trying to decrease the distance between me and him!

You all did a good job, guys !
Nelson it was nice running with you, see you next time.

P.S.;
1) As long as I drive in RD races the more I realize how enjoyable and intresting is the RD Race 07 club.
2) Mid-ohio (chicane) it's not just a good track, it's a DREAM track, thanks Dennis !
