Quali: Pulled 5th from somewhere no right-thinking person should ever be looking

Race 1: Got a decent start, managed to run side-by-side through turn 2, then ran too deep in 3. Didn't hit anyone though. Made to rejoin the race, only to see half the field have accidents right alongside me! When I did finally get going again, it was scrappy; did a bit of pinballing. Settled down after a lap or two, and cruised home to 9th. Well, I say cruised... if you don't count the Alfa-shunt-sandwich, turning a corner to see half a Peugeot blocking the track, stuff like that

Race 2: Another good start, and was amazed to see the entire field make it to turn 4 without crashing and dying in a huge fireball Had some great racing once I'd caught the pack too, including a sweet outbraking overtake into turn 3 on @Ralf Eiden, and taking @Dennis Phelan (I think) round the outside of turn 1. Ended right back where I qualified: 5th.

BRING ON THE MINIS! And maybe the Radicals too...

The time Trial did help with setup even though I drove a different car in this event. I guess it pays to have good setup skills

@Peter Ell , You were very fast coming into the "corner" but my destiny had already been determined when I missed my brake point and knew I was going to miss the corner , never even thought that you had made contact. Puncture and failed motor for me to end R1.

R2, a bit more cautious as I think many were but not making much headway untill a pileup on the way to the hairpin created a hole for me to slip by a couple of drivers for a few laps of easy driving. But, I knew they would be coming back ans surely Dave and Ralf made themselves apparent in my mirror and closed the gap. I gave way to Dave but Ralf wasn't on TS to get the message and so he had to wait a bit but got by.

Definitely great to have a huge grid and wonderful chat going on TS throughout the entire event. Even if you don't have a mic, you should hook up and join the crew!

Thanks all for a couple of good races

What an event. Have little mixed feelings about it.
At first I felt like an virgin all over again. It's has been a few weeks, since I touched R07.
But thankfully, it's kinda easy to get right back into R07 after a few laps, so in P2, I manage to pick up some speed, and felt that "yes, for once I am in the top 5"

And then Q came, and I screwed it up. So I thought to myself, "lets back out and re-join"
Well, that really didn't 't work. On my Hotlap, at the last right-hander, before start/finish line, I got magically beamed back to the garage with no time set at all.

Spoiler

R1:
Got an okay start, and at T1 I had managed to steal a few places.
Me and @Dennis Phelan were now side by side, when @Mark Hellsten thought he would receive a speed bonus if he drove into the wall: Wrong game

He wobbled a little and for short moment, I thought there were going to be a huge crash. Luckily, he got it under control. In the meanwhile, me and Dennis played the chicken race, but I decided not to give in. We both got alongside Mark, and at T2 we all went "all in":

At T3, I missed my breaking point, and so did a few others:

After what felt like an eternity, most of us got going again.

Moments later, Dennis, blew the engine: Not strange, since his car were badly damaged.

After a few corners, me and @Dave Morley got stuck behind @Morne Du Plooy:

And none of us knew at this moment, but a big surprise were waiting for us.
@Reggie Blain Snr seemed to had a puncture, and could not stop his car. So he smashed into a wall, and his car got lined up in a bad way, so there were nothing we could do really, so naturally we all smashed each other.

However, I think I were the most lucky one, since I only smashed into Reggie Blain Snr rear, and were able to keep going without loosing to much speed.
This is all on lap 1 as well.

 

[H34d5h07]

Had to split the message since you are only allowed to post 20 images per post

On the end of lap two, I manage to catch @Ralf Eiden who in turn catched up with Hellsten.
I think we both felt we were faster, but passing on this track is extremely difficult. So we kinda got stuck and we all just raced to see how things would turn out I guess.

We pretty much stayed together for the whole lap. Ralf got stuck at that extreme sharp right hander, so that slowed the pace down for us both a little:

At the end of lap 2, I manage to pass Ralf.

But a small mistake from my side, later on, made it possible for Ralf to pass me again:

Overall I felt I were faster though, but as I said earlier, it's difficult to pass, so I had stay behind him and hoping for a gap, or a mistake from him. At lap 5 I saw my chance, and passed him:

Now I got stuck behind Hellsten, but I saw a chance to maybe pass him.
However, it didn't paid off, that time.

At the end of lap 5 though, Hellsten, made small mistake, so easy pass there:

I am now up into 8th place, and since @Campbell Wallis had to visit the pit, easy pass again, and now I'm up to 7th. I have no idea who were in 6th place, but during lap 7 I passed another one who must had retired. Sorry, no screens for this, since game has no idea at this point.

However, I can offer a few gems I saw during the replay.
@Alex Odell and @Nelson Ullinskey had a fight, but it didn't end well for Nelson:

Myself is now up to 6th. I push and push and push to try catch Alex.
I had no idea at this point, but Alex car were badly damaged.
So, at the last lap, I finally catch him. But there were no good opportunity to pass him.
Despite his damaged car, I weren't able to pass him. (shows how OP the car is )

We both pretty much crossed the finish line side by side.

R2

Started 3rd, and got a good start.
Passed Ralf (p2) and Hellsten (p1) at T1 and then spent pretty much the whole the race all by myself.

Side note:
I love Macau, even though there is no room for error, it's fast track and challenging.

Exactly why I love this place as well

 

[H34d5h07]

Ohh yes, I'm in for this!

 

[Ken Rodriguez]

Love the Radicals. please sign me up.

Thank you.

 

[ajokay]

Oh it's so good to be back. Thanks everyone for another fun evening of racing, even if it is at this uncompromising, crazy circuit!

Race 1 I started from 6th I think and was running 5th. On lap 2 or 3 I got light into the braking area at the top of San Francisco hill over the bump, and got sideways into the wall. Unfortunately @Nuno Rodrigues who was following close couldn't avoid me and got caught in the crash. We both carried on though and once he caught up to me as my car was damaged I let him pass. @Nelson Ullinskey caught me and we went round the last corner side by side. I pulled ahead on the start/finish straight and took the line into the first kink. As my car had no front downforce it drifted wide and squeezed Nelson between the wall and the rear of my car Held on for 5th.

Race 2 was great fun. I got a bad start and dropped a couple of places but cars ahead of me kept crashing and I threaded my way through over the course of the next few laps. I was on my own for much of the race and managed to fend off @Daniel Linder towards the end. Shows just how good my driving is Very happy with a 2nd place finish!

Remember it's the real Macau Grand Prix this weekend. World Touring Car Championship, Formula 3 Masters with the best drivers from all over the world, and the one I'm most looking forward to: the Macau GT Cup. Some big GT3 teams competing in that. Erebus from Australia in their Mercedes SLS, United Autosports from the UK in their McLaren 12C, Bamboo Craft from asia in their Aston Martin, and of course no GT race would be complete without an AF Corse Ferrari somewhere in there!

And @Dennis Phelan there do also appear to be bikes racing this weekend too!

@Alex Odell

Sorry to be that annoying guy, but you are both right and wrong. It was in race one that you fended me off.
Race 2, I spent all by myself. In fact, I took the lead in T1 and then manage to crawl away from the rest and took my first victory in long time

No problem. My short term memory is incredibly bad!

@derek1969italia

Hi Derek, welcome to RD - in order to race in our club events, you're going to need a license, available over here. Don't worry, it's free and shouldn't take too long

 

[Dennis Phelan]

The Mini's ought to be easy to drive after having these make you eyes spin

 

[Björn]

The Mini's ought to be easy to drive after having these make you eyes spin

The "left-hand drive, right-hand-drive, left-hand-drive" - rotation of this week won't help, though

 

[Dennis Phelan]

I had not noticed

 

[RaceProUK]

The "left-hand drive, right-hand-drive, left-hand-drive" - rotation of this week won't help, though

Then just put a mirror beside your monitor, and use that

Oh, and invert the steering axis.

 

[Nuno Rodrigues]

[H34d5h07]

No problem. My short term memory is incredibly bad!

Ohh, I know what you mean. It's the same for me

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]
