Any ideas? Thank you.

EDIT: Retard me never bought STCC 1. Lemme see if I can manage it before the race.

 

[Rafael Kajstura]

I'm not going to participate, my net disconnects me every few minutes...

 

[Andy_J]

Well I got a crash dump during quali, I was then forced to restart but it would not let me in. Hope you had a good time guys.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Seems a good number ran into this during the event

[Arne Dopudja]

Was quite exciting with Golda on R1. Hopefully me and the Chevy Crew can find some time for this again. (Will need to re-add skins since you have switched to the unified system.)

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Hangovers are no problem, bring all your friends along!

Some great fun after that christmas hiatus of sorts

Gave each of the three "new" cars a go and went for the Audi as it had tremendous agility - got pretty fast in P1 and got pretty worried I might've cut a corner as a result. Checked back with the replay, but while I was very much at the limit, it seemed a clean lap.
All the more I was surprised to not quite reach those lap times in P2 anymore. Checked my brake lights in lights (haha!) of the recent pedal troubles, but they were off, so I blamed the 20-minute-racetest-stint, I wasn't going for ultimate speed, was I?

Qualified in P4 as @Aaron Channer didn't put in a lap, so I was kinda happy again Had a fairly good start, launching me past @Dewald Nel. With @Matthias Klein getting a bit too close to @Reggie Blain's rear, I even inherited P2 for a while.

However, that meant both Matthias and returning @Arne Dopudja were now lingering behind me, pushing hard. After not quite landing an attack, Arne had to let Matthias by and soon he was past myself, as well.

While he pulled away, Arne kept on pushing and we had a great battle for a little less than half of the race. Through some very fun and clean racing, I got to practice my defensive skills a bit and might've gotten Arne a fair bit frustrated

He finally outbraked me in Rivazza (you all seemed to brake so late!) and took what was now a well-deserved P2 as Reggie had been disconnected.

I managed to hang on for a lap or two, but soon he vanished into the distance and I brought home P3.

My start into the second race (from P7) was okay - lost another position, but soon went up to P6 after Reggie and Dewald got into each other.

However, both reclaimed their respective positions soon afterwards as I wasn't quite up to former speed anymore.

In fact it took an off (I assume) by @Gundars Brigis to gain a position, but I quickly manage to get rid of that advantage again as I greatly misjudged @Dennis Phelan's speed in an otherwise nice fight - sorry!

After letting him by again and losing a few more seconds to get out of the gravel myself, it took me some time to get by @Reggie Blain Snr again. With the end of both the race and our tyres coming closer, Dennis seemed to struggle a bit more and when he locked up his brakes, I seized the opportunity and went by.

Thanks for coming out, everyone - see you around next time (with less cutting/stop-and-going, hopefully )!

Also, I checked my controller settings post-race and guess what happened when I pressed both pedals to the very ground? (Gaspedal = Throttle)

Yeah, that might explain something, I guess - just as the brake pedal was somewhat fixed

 

[Aaron Channer]

A tin of contact cleaner. Spray all inside the pots in the pedal mechanism.
I had this problem a couple of years ago. The above sorted it.

 

[Björn]

I actually just cleaned everything a few weeks ago while tensioning the brake spring in hopes it would take care of the pedal not going back to "zero" (didn't work in the long term, now at 10% deadzone). Not with contact cleaner, admittedly, but pretty thoroughly, I'd say
Sooo.. I guess its the potentiometers themselves begging for retirement, and I might've just obliged

 

[Dennis Phelan]

A lovely set of corners all the way around the track, In my mind I can only see the top chicane as a real one and the others just corners that are a bit more difficult than others[besides the cuts available in them]. This track was used, maybe overused for a while and it's great to get back to it.

I'm liking the variety of cars on track as people check out the other drives. We'll be doing this more often so keep your eyes open for a hot one. I seldom drive a Honda anymore so pulled one from the shed and dusted it off for today, it ran well but launches were poor as I hadn't tried them and 1st gear was wrong.

R1 was mostly just driving around, watching the action in the second lap and the pit calls as drivers paid the price of cutting. Good fun with Aaron until he got the last corner down better than I did and soon after an off let István by.

After some doing, we got to Race 2!

R2: Another bad launch and for most of the race I'm seeing Bjorn in the rear view with his car that has the big ugly black grill, ugh. For short bits of time I see Dewald and Reggie but after a while the big ugly taps me off and we both lose places as we struggle out of the deep sand. I continue to hold him off until his superior skills at handling worn tires places me behind him. Great fun though, both good races!

Apologies to all for not including the warmup session and for what seemed to be struggling with the shuffle that allowed Reggie back in to participate in R2.

Happy New year to all, see you in a Radical!

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Björn Golda the potentiometers are the same ones for the G25 which are available onliine through private sources. If you can't find a set, I have a pair of them locked in a safe.

 

[Reggie Blain]

Good fun tonight, got disconnected from race 1 thanks everyone for voting me back into race 2

Hopefully see you guys on Thursday if my hangover is not to bad lol
