It was a great race with some very good fair fights especially with Lawrence but it could of been a lot better without the attentions of a certain driver who ruined the race for more then one driver.

 

[William Yunck]

Yes you can join

Q 15. No big hopes on podium, just for fun & experience of endurance.

The first 20 laps I was last on track, but on close distance. Then the tyres started to wear cause I had a hard time keeping close, but not to close 1 time this resulted in me spinning and loosing a few seconds, which I recoverd in a few laps. Between lap 27 and 37 I can clearly see on graphs a lot of position changes (concentration?) Also at that moment (lap 37) Simon Trendell is behind me at the straight (doubling me). I keep a wide line in T1 and he passes me smoothly. Unfortunately, seconds later he spins with his rearwheels on the grass right before the little hill at T3 and crashes heavily.
I kept battling with Eric Schoeters and many laps later after he spun and I was chasing Jeroen and I was even able to overtake Jeroen 2 laps before the finish giving me a 6th pos!

Great events guys & thanks RD!

 

[Torbjorn Lennartsson]

It's personal preference Totte, but I'd say that was a bit on the high side for only 200 degrees rotation if you took the average rotation vs lock.

I use 28 lock, but always have the 900 rotation on.

900 and 28 in steering look?Wooe
Then you must be hotter then me after a race:laugh2:
1 houer off work out

Totte

 

[Steven Palmer]

An excellent nights racing

quali was close with 1 second covering 4th down to 18th. managed to do a sub 1.14 so I was happy. Started 13th

Race: Start went OK, lost a place to Michael on the opening lap then had a good few laps with Bob then I made my first of 4 spins at the same point, so lost the place and then had a good few laps with Stuart until, yep spin, and lost the place. That left me in the clutches of Neil and Laurence whom I had the rest of the night racing and what good clean,hard racing it was.

Thanks to Simon for the event and as usual all the members of RD for a great night's racing:highfive:

Totte

I don't use all of the 900 hardly ever, but it gives me a nice amount of precision without over steering and scrubbing the tyres too badly.

 

[Matt Hunt]

Hmm where do I start for my first event...

Practice, went well. Middle of the pack round about 14.. on a pace I thought was about right.

quali. Came out the blocks very fast setting my first 1:14.9. was happy with that putting me in 11th slot for the race..

Race time: started 11th. Got a good start up to 10 then into T1 came out 9th I think. Was going very well. little busy in the pack.. then worked my way up to 7th and was in a great battle with Richard Bunschoten for a good 20laps. He gave me a little love tap but nothing major (That's Racing) then I droped to 8th cos the suspention damage.. came in to pit about lap 31 I think with Richard but I stayed in to fix the damage, then came my first school boy error, Forgot to change tyre's. So That put me in a pickle as I new I would have to come back in. so I did that changed the tyres and was back on the pace . But then while being lapped I spun. Hence damage number 2 (still no rage as I was loving it) so I thought ok I'll carry on. big mistake as I was way off the pace. So thought ok I've got nothing to lose now my race in done I'll come in for a 3rd time LOL.. once the car was all sorted I was back on the pace setting low 1.15s but then came a problem as I was stuck watching the battle for 12/13, and setting a much faster pace, but thought I'll just hang behind them as no point spoiling others race...

All in all very happy with my pace I was a top 8 runner, but the school boy error of a first race beat me.. But I would like to thank everyone that was on track and those I had a good battle with...


Big thanks to RD staff for setting this up. I'll defo be taking part in a lot of events

Thanks all...

Maybe someting fore me to think about

[Eric Soeters]

I'am looking at the replay. At 735 nice 3 car action around place 14.
1626 Istvan Milbich is getting a small touché from me. After looking at the replay I feel sorry for Istvan. He could not get out of the hole .

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

This was fun :laugh2:
Notice that my tires got worn earlyer then Sanders and patriks?
I use G25 200 degres and 25 in stering look.Is that wrong.

Totte

That explains your tyre wear. I use 400 degrees @ 23 steering lock

 

[Stuart Thomson]

So thought ok I've got nothing to lose now my race in done I'll come in for a 3rd time LOL.. once the car was all sorted I was back on the pace setting low 1.15s but then came a problem as I was stuck watching the battle for 12/13, and setting a much faster pace, but thought I'll just hang behind them as no point spoiling others race...

That was me & Bob.

I didn't know you were on fresh rubber, but that explains a lot

You were all over me pulling out of the corners, whereas I was (and I suspect Bob was) pretty much just hanging on with some extremely second hand tyres.

But - first race, first finish for you.

And it sounds like you enjoyed it, mate, which is - after all - why we are all here. :good:

 

[Manuel Garcia]

No problem Sanders, this night I've been hit several times but i could finish .

 

[Matt Hunt]

It was indeed, you was having a good little battle, I thought about unlaping myself, but @ the risk of taking you both out was not worth it... I was happy with my performance. Yes made a few mistakes on the stop.. but I got what I wanted and that was to finish my first race...

Was a lot of fun.. and was a good feeling racing hard & fair with others that get the same enjoyment from it...

Now to find the replay!

Had a bad start and trouble in first lap. Lost a couple of places. Then some cool close racing. P6 at the end :good:


A few stats :victory: : (qualytimes are wrong!)
klick me for stats

 

[Bob Miley]

It was indeed, you was having a good little battle, I thought about unlaping myself, but @ the risk of taking you both out was not worth it...

It was quite funny when you came alongside me into turn 1 and I went wide and slowed down to let you through only for you to do the same, lost a bit of ground on Stu but when I tried to make it up i spun on my overworked tyres, let all those behind me go and ended up finishing in 14th(my qualifying spot). But hayho thats racing. Glad you enjoyed your first outing.

Overall it was an excellent race, fair, clean and competative and i loved every minute.

Thanks Simon and RD:good:

 

[Gary Lennon]

The effort needed to get a lap time for 6th start was huge.....
Got a very good start and leaped to 4th for T1 and hung on the back of the front 3 as long as i could but eventually dropped back a bit into the sights of Keith B,held him off as long as tyres allowed but he found a way past close to pit in time,i stayed out those fatal couple of laps too long on very shot tyres then pitted and changed all 4.
Came out pits a bit down on Keith now but found the fresh rubber to be great and gradually chipped away the gap,but pushed to hard and had an off,no damage and not a big deal at first,but i was strangely beached and couldnt get going again,it felt like a puncture but i didnt have one,eventually got it on track again in 8th,long long battle following Richard B trying to find a way past,when he went wide at the final turn i got past to 7th where i finished.
Grats Sander and podiums and Thank You to Simon T and RD

 

[Lu Chan]

Very nice good quality race! Now clean and fair is must in RD.
Although I haven't the good result, I was happy and enjoy the race.

This was good fun and very clean driving from everyone too. One thing about these STCC Events, they are fast, furious, extremely close, and one tiny error becomes costly. This is actually a very good sim.

I was fortunate to make it at the last minute, looked like I was going to be baby sitting while everyone was racing, but the rest of my family returned home just in time to give me the chance to join. I grabbed the Volvo S60, since I hadn't driven it before, popped in William's setup, and off I went. It wasn't bad to drive, but wasn't as nimble as the smaller Volvo and took a bit more stopping under hard braking. With some practice, I think I could grow to like it.
I could manage a few quicker laps in this Volvo, but was too inconsistent to be competitive. Managed to make a mess of the Qualy lap so started near the back, but noticed a couple of others (er Marcel) did much the same.

Race 1. Couldn't get the big Volvo wound up and dropped to nearly last off the start. Had some nice racing with Tim for most of the race, and had my fingers crossed entering the pits this time. Woohoo, my pitcrew turned up this time, but were somewhat slower than some others though. Finally finished P4.

Race 2. Very similar, slow start, but this time I made a few mistakes which cost a lot. Good racing this time with Marcel and Tyson. Pitstop was successful but slow again, finally finished P7.

These STCC events are really good fun, but I'm not sure why we call them Australian / US events. I seem to be the only Aussie turning up. Pity, because they are very enjoyable and different.

William and I want to keep these as regular events in the New Year.
