@Björn Golda you can unplug and plug in again but make sure you go into controller settings and reload your controller profile before entering the track

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Krisztián Tóth , no problem with the hit. I had avoided one in R1, just picked the wrong direction. I was having fun being close to you so I waited. Again, NP.

I had a right tidy car to race, a fun one to drive!

R1: All well until 3/4 done and tires started to turn greasy, temps were good and only 15% tread was gone. I don't know if it's normal for they babies or not.

R2: I got the launch right! Soon after in T1[maybe L2,3] Justin and Krisztián are on my inside and it could be a massive bombing mission so I gave room and ran wide instead. Dropping back is a natural thing when you're slow but at the half way point Kris was again right in front, slowing to give me soe me fun? Best racing of the week so far at that point until tires again turned greasy and Kris pulled away.

Thanks for the run with these cars, not fast but fun, frustrating at times too

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

So sorry, but I do not think I will show up for this. Friday looks insanely busy, but there is still a slim chance I can make this.

Did NOT read the sign up correctly and was horrified to see the mini cooper wasn't part of the selection. I hate driving the other 'hover craft' in this class and can never manage to master these animals. I tried the BMW in practice and YEP! hovering all over the track lol. I didn't want to be a sore loser and quit out so I tried the Volvo....wow! a bigger hover craft . After some laps I started getting a feel for this beast and found my laptimes somewhere closer to the front runners than I ever imagined I would! You can imagine my surprise at qualifying in 2nd place....

Throughout the race I began to realise there is a certain discipline to handling these cars, a certain satisfaction at getting that throttle steering right with the correct amount of opposite steer, something @Arunas Linkevicius was doing lap after lap in a league of his own and untouchable in the race. I learned something about these cars last night and something I can hopefully build on with the right setup (used default last night as I had no knowledge of these cars).

So to finish second place while feeling like a total rookie was a shock and is no disrespect to the other drivers at all, something clicked last night and I just managed to drive to car how it is supposed to be driven (for 50% of the time).. I need to commit to that throttle steering a little more instead of reverting to FWD thinking and I think I may be able to get into the league that Arunas was in

 

[Arunas]

Great Thursday! I just love Volvo boat!
Never thought that I can be so competitive in this tarmac rally style driving It was big surprise of P1 in qual and in both races. Even Justin couldn't match my Volvo!
But being an alien on the track isn't very fun I will never do it again
That for great racing! See you next time
Hope to return in time and participate in Mini Friday event..

 

[Nuno Rodrigues]

signning out. I cant make it on time

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Toni can't make it, he's been up all night and in no condition to drive, even virtually...

 

[Nox]

Edit: Never mind, I can't make it in the end. Shame, I like this track. Have a good one.

 

[Nuno Rodrigues]

maybe (like one in a milion) a can be on time for this. Runnig fast in real life to be on this one. But its a big big maybe...

 

[David Kingshott]

I can't seem to find the server on the list? Is it just me. See you all soon

 

[Nuno Rodrigues]

i dont see it too....

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

No RD Valencia at all. Even i can host if there is a need for it.. It's been tested with 25 cars and its solid, location Finland.

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

There's a server up while we wait for RD server to be back up, just a public: Hangout Lounge, mini, valencia. There 1h left to official start so i'm sure it'll be there eventually.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Rupe Wilson has been on the server doing work. He must have shut down our race. I'll post it as soon as it's up again.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

not me i tried to get on and failed myself .
i cant access the servers.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Rupe Wilson, so I take it you're not on the 238?

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Server for today is back up.

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Uneventful race. I was a bit tired so didn't have the necessary spark.. Gaps grew too big and when finally Dennis started doing similar laptimes, he was too long away.. He could control it from 15s distance easily with 15 laps to go.. Tail was way too happy for my liking.. Don't know if i'm in next week, wednesday it's Barcelona in PrestoGP, Silverstone was already this week (second of our back-to-back races week apart instead of usual two weeks, sort of European tour ).. Too much driving, need to concentrate on the necessary.. Didn't train for this race at all thou..

 

[Dennis Phelan]

I had a car that was fun to drive, making it seem easy to put lap after lap in.I tried to drive maintaining composure and not pushing to gain much advantage. An easy pit stop. All alone after the pit.

My driving was quite sloppy even though I was trying hard to drive well. My visual perception of where I was did not relate to my location on the track. I have to work on that.

Thanks to all that made it today.

Next week a historic track, watch out for the curbs!

 

[Justin Swan]

Quite a few who signed up didn't turn up... Disappointing amount
