AC Rookie event Mazda MX5@RedBullRing, Tue 29th November 2022

[HF2000]

Question Han, is the discord channel only for listening or should we talk back as well? In that case I have to go find a mic somewhere

It's no necessary to talk but it can be very helpful like Raul said

 

[Interslice]

If you do have a mic, 'push to talk' is mandatory for the discord server. No one wants to hear you eat crisps

Quick how too here

Congratz Dominik for the win and Lauro and Bouke for the podium . also congratz to Ernie and Robert for podium of the NA and ty Han for hosting really enjoyed

 

[abecede]

I'm so happy that I didnt get lapped by any other Mazda ND. Not even by Fulvio! Great event everyone, and thank you Han for hosting!

 

[homer1007]

Thanks all was a lot of good clean fun and a couple of good battles along the way. I'll be back for more though probably closer to the back of the pack in the regular races I'm sure. Thanks for pulling it together

 

[Shed 17]

Yes, well done all especially the rookies, from what I saw the racecraft and behavior was very good, as someone said, "better than some of our weekly meetings".

Thanks Han for invite and hope to see some of the "rookies" at future weekly events at the AC racing club.

For an even more fun ‘rookie’ race, yall could try the BMW M235i on some of WTCC's city circuits like Vila Real.

However, with Vila Real, you'll have to give people like a couple weeks to learn it.

 

[JOSEJ]

Oh, I did not see the new discord and I missed,
I was not aware it can be used to speak with nother drivers
Howevwer I really enjoy the experience

 

[HF2000]

Yes thanks all for racing. I'm really impressed how the rookies did. Not only their performance but also their behaviour. Clean and respectful as we want it.

I was a bit afraid of having a public server like event but not at all. So great!

I think I will organize another rookie event somewhere in January with the same cars but a different track.

If you don't want to wait that long, have a look here every now and then and see if there's a race to your liking. https://www.racedepartment.com/forums/racing-club.671/?prefix_id=250

In general for AC we have 3 races every week. Sunday GT and LMP cars, on Wednesday an Abarth500/Mazda MX5 Cup event and on Tuesday a variation of classic cars, street cars, unlikely combinations, fun events and surprise events.

Also we will start in 2023 again with championships.

 

[Boukâh]

Thanks people, that was exciting!! Congrats to Dominique and Lauro, too fast for me, but I’m happy with a first (rookie) podium!

Trying to stay focused was a thing, have to get used to that. And so happy I didn’t kill someone .

More of this!!

Thanks Han!!

 

[Alfred Wayne]

Congrats to the winners and finishers! Seemed like there were some good fights going on based on mx5 cups passing me 2 at a time under blue flags (not something I'm usually happy about having happen to me )

 

[HF2000]

@Boukâh @homer1007 You both have premium. The practice server for tomorrow championship race is up. It's the Battenbergring from Fat-Alfie.
Just do a couple of laps. I guarantee that you will love it! Send me a PM for the password if you're going to.

 

[Alfred Wayne]

There's also another "Rookies" race this Sunday here in GT4 cars. The ginetta is like a gt4 version of the mx5 cup

This one? https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/circuito-internacional-de-vila-real.37274/

 

[aasasd]

This one?

Yeah.

WTCC city circuits in general are fun, as I learned from ‘Race 07’. However e.g. Pau and Boavista are narrower than my puckered cheeks during this race. Vila Real is the widest of them, I think. Some non-WTCC street circuits, like Canberra, could also be cool. Adelaide is a simpler layout, but the straight would be boring on the M235i.

WTCC/R has nice circuits and easy cars, but the forward-wheel drive is a questionable choice, so I hijack the BMW instead.

Downloaded! I will have a go on it when I have time. Thanks for thinking with me.

Also

> First time in MX5, and on AC's Red Bull

> Practice in advance, make my own setup, drive an okayish time

> Get the setup from Han—it's completely different, tunes parameters that I didn't touch

> Try this setup, run pretty much the same time. Feels a bit more stable.

> Attempt to marry the two setups by pulling tricks from both

> Time is worse than with the two separate setups.

Well, thought I was not going to like this race, funnily had a great time and everyone was:-
So impressive.
Robert was even quite easy with me giving the rookies and me plenty of room.
This combination worked very well. Impressively well.
The only down side was that Rotter Fulvio playing with me, but at least it livened up the last few laps.
A success.
