Great event as usual
until pit the race was really fun some good battles here and there and big fight with Dennis was nice, after pit in lap 29(think), i was alone in a Limbo about 5sec ahead and behind so i tried to gain some sec. but also managed for finish the race I was 6th or 7th position but at 6mins from finish i lost car in T1 I saw that I crossed the track there was someone behind me and I did not want to damage it so I decided to push Esc.


Congratulations to Winner and all finishers
Thanks Dennis and RD for event

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@vayastwrc, I'm glad you want to enter our events but first you need to get one of RD's free racing licences. Get it here. It will take a few days to process but then you will have access to the game server and Teamspeak.

That was intense. I got reasonably high in the opening laps thanks to others' misfortune, but I eventually slipped back into last place. Made an early pit stop since I only changed the left-hand side tyres and I was hoping to use the clear air. It worked better than I ever imagined, and I ran 7th briefly, though @Peter Ell on much fresher tyres had little problem getting by in the end, which left me fending off @Tobias Liesaus for the last few laps. Which I did right up until the final corner. Gutted, but a great battle, 9th.

 

[Peter Ell]

Good race!
I lagged 3 times in the end of the first round so I found my self in the third position.
I got bumped 3 times so I pit-stopped 2 times to get my car fixed.
That's all !
See you soon...

Heh, we just finished But why not check out next week's events

As for this one, that was another nice race for me Went onto the server early as I didn't know whether I'd make it and thus didn't practice in the Mini. The previous events paid off pretty well, though, and helped me get to a good pace quite fast. With Bob, Peter and Nelson at about the same laptime level (and Istvan rapidly approaching it), we had a nice battle during P1 & P2.

When qualy time came, I opted against race fuel and managed to get a 49.3xx in - just enough to beat Peter and claim pole - I didn't expect to stay there, though: Apparently, at least Bob ran race fuel in quals
My start into the race wasn't the best and thus, Bob managed to get by in T1 but was on the outer line for T2 - position reclaimed. However, Peter had sneaked by and was now in P1 - or so I thought. Right after the full-speed-right-hander, he slightly lagged and when we went onto the start/finish straight, he suddenly warped back behind Bob's?! Considering there was likely a fair amount of lag on your side as well, I really hope there wasn't any contact in lap 1, Peter?
Afterwards, I slowly built up a few seconds on Peter until my tyres started to wear down and thus, he slowly won those seconds back
In between all of this, I had a nice "non-battle" with Nelson, by the way - he fell back in the first few laps and pitted rather early, getting out with fresh tyres right in front of me and fought against his lapping for quite a few laps until a small slide offered a passing opportunity, fun times
After pitting myself, I slowly regained the positions lost up until P2 - Peter was still out on the track until time for pitting was almost over. He might've forgotten about it and, as far as I can tell, had lost some time on worn tyres and while pitting.
Anyway, it did put me back into P1 and with Bob at a gap of about 13 seconds (that I actually managed to hold, to my own surprise ) behind me by then, I brought it home

Thanks for organizing Dennis & thanks for coming everyone, see you tomorrow/next week

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

What an awesome race!

We had a big grid with a lot of fast guys, so the times were insanely close in practice and qualifying. Started fourth, I can't really remember ! Great start, first time all week that I did not get bumped off in the chicane ! However, I think the Beast of the Last Corner was out to get me, because I ran off twice and my suspension went on vacation . So now I had to fight my way through the pack (cue epic theme music).

I pitted way early to try and get free track, but I was spat out in front of Bjorn ! Not wanting to go a lap down, and wanting to race with someone, we engaged in a fierce duel (theme music builds in tensity). However, he is too quick and escapes me ! And to add to that, it looked like I would not be quick enough to gain much ground (solemn tune plays).

However, I noticed my pit stop was quicker than most other people's and I had conquered the Beast of the Last Corner! (cue the heroic theme music!) Flying around the track, I passed cars on track, in the pits and all around ! I felt like I was on fire and on route to a podium despite my rotten luck.

Them I got caught in a fierce battle with @Joe Cannarozzo! It was some good fun, but when I passed him for fourth, I felt like it was a real dirty move, so I conceded the position to him because I feel it is better to lose honorably than to win dishonorably . Finished fifth, I am happy, and had an awesome time.

My car had a little dust on it coming out of the garage but was soon in fine working order. Why is it that setups only last a little while and then have to get twiddled with again?

From my POV it was a good run through T1 on L1 for all. I saw that I was free to move about a bit early on and started to use some track. István was in front of me and I smartly held back on a pass, good thing as after a short run he started pulling away. Nelson and Arunas came back up after their "situations" and I let them past to find Valerius slowly closing from their wake. I had to really step it up to keep him behind, especially at T1 but eventually he dropped back and I figured he would be saving tires for a two tire pit stop. My stop was just after the halfway and I soon found Val ahead of me but I was easily closing on him. I didn't get to complete the catch as he dropped out so switched to Nelson who was also for some reason dropping back but not even enough time to catch him, even with Bjorn helping by giving me another lap to try.

Nice to see a grid half full, good car , nice track and great drivers to hang out with, Friday I guess

@Reik Major are you gonna join the event ?

 

[Reik Major]

Dennis, sign me up please!

your name: Reik Major
team/driver: Toll Holden Racing Team - Garth Tander

@Reik Major are you gonna join the event ?

Is above the correct answer?

 

[Liam Blair]

I tried the setup Reik posted. Realise I need a balance between both the setups, decreasing the ARB/Suspension slightly from the Quali setup and slightly increasing those on the Race setup.

Found the Quali setup to be a touch too oversteery and the Race setup seemed to understeer in odd and inconsistent places, although that could be due to mistakes by myself or by being in the practice session.

Looking forward to this.

 

[Gundars]

Sorry guys ,sing me out,flu continues

 

[Liam Blair]

Sorry to be a pain. Is the race 51 laps or 90 minutes? I only ask as, if people are doing 92/93 second laps as an average, over 90 minutes that would suggest ~59 laps. Minus, say, 2 laps for pitstops and any off track excursions and that's 56/57. @Yves Larose @Dennis Phelan

 

[Dennis Phelan]

The server was put up for a 51 lap race.

 

[Liam Blair]

Ok, thanks for clearing that up Dennis.

 

[ajokay]

Yes!!
