AC Shelby Cobra @ Monza 66 - Sat 18th October 2014

Ivan Vejarano · Oct 18, 2014

Thanks to all of You.
My first race here at RD. was terrific... those Cobras are a real snake!

See ya on the road

Arrr lap 1 carnage, I guess I could have given you a bit more space but it's already hard enough to try and make the turn if you're two wide there. I'll consider it a mostly stupid racing incident with a bit more blame on your end then on mine @Stelios Fevgatos .

Better luck next time, was a great combo.

The fault is 100% mine, i had "rambo mode on" and didn't get into account the fact that the tires didn't have any heat in them and i would under steer. Sorry again...

Edit : Divine intervention (cos of wrecking you) the fact that my game crashed and i didn't manage to even finish

James Bolton · Oct 18, 2014

Would have been more fun if I didn't get killed in lap one and 6 minutes in the pits

Marko Hannula · Oct 18, 2014

Is there way to save replay of a full race? I can only see last lap?

Andrey Varlamov · Oct 18, 2014

Thanks all for race. It was very funny

.
It is a pity that we can't see the results after the finish in-game

Akis · Oct 18, 2014

Thank you all guys. I enjoyed the race very much. The 2nd half was more interesting/painful after I got hit and got a broken windshield and a bent wheel

The results: LINK

Herbie · Oct 18, 2014

Great fun

Could dodge the most carnages but two... fortunately my car was still quite driveable and i didn't have to pit

That's how i qualied 14 and finished 5

Due to large grid there was mostly someone to race, which was great!!
Had too less confidence in corner speed of the cobra...

@Akis Kevrekidis now that race is over... would you mind to let me try your setup

yours fit my driving style so nice! please

One more thing... Damage will definitely teach us to be more careful

Thank you all and organizer of course! Had a blast

Stefan Sparco · Oct 18, 2014

Sorry folks. I think the lap 1 carnage is my fault. I glanced right, saw a car close, slightly corrected and tapped a car on my left and then all hell broke loose

You problably got the replay space still on default value (which is like 20MB or something), set it to maximum (500MB) in Options - General. 500MB was just about enough to save the whole replay for me.

Hey thanks! Very cool!!!
Green dot is best laptime i guess?

Marko Hannula · Oct 18, 2014

@Kevin Leu Thank you, looks like I have it on default.

Yep, and in the link above there is an html file with detailed info from every session.

About the setup you asked, I posted it here. Hope we get an improved version by someone!

Alberto Caessa · Oct 18, 2014

From p15 to p5 in the first 2 laps; Bugbear Entertainment should review this race to get some ideas for Wreckfest

. Eventually, I ran out of luck and got taken out near the end. Didn't even care.

Thanks for hosting!

There is something strange in the race result - my Gap to Leader is 144.820 (or 2 min 24.82s) but I drove 17 laps and finished in one lap with the winner

.
P.S. I made 1 pit-stop ~2min.

Marko Hannula · Oct 18, 2014

Why my lap times in the race are always faster than in the qualification, hmm...

Slipstream + more grip maybe?

Yes, the track kept improving, reaching 100% mid-race.
And if I judge from myself, most of the times I feel more competitive and capable to do fast laptimes at the end of the race. It may be due to the fact that we get more comfortable with the car as the time passes..?

Ivan Vejarano · Oct 18, 2014

Wow this is what i call starange physics

... how did u make it without your tires!!!¿?¿?¿

Was my first online race here at RaceDepartment and it was awesome. Ofcourse that start straight incident with a lot of cars was a disaster for my car

I damaged it but continued to race, but it was to hard to control it properly so I crashed into the wall and I believe that that incident ruined @Ivan Vejarano race, because as I crashed he were not able to avoid me

Sorry
