I own everything. I agree that then the base game is as cheap as £1.50, it makes an add-on pack that's £6 look expensive. But when you can get the entire bundle for £25, that's still cheaper than any Forza or Gran Turismo. And the amount of time we spend for that money, it's amazing value.

I can't access the password in this thread. Do I have to become a premium member to get access to the password?

Dennis Phelan · Jan 5, 2015

@Alexander Wänerberger Initially I thought you already had an RD racing licence but now I see you are not. You must be a licensed member to get access to the servers. Unfortunately applications are closed right now as there is going to be a change to RD's club racing in general. Stay tuned for news on the front page about becoming a licensed member!

Peter Ell · Jan 6, 2015

Unfortunately, I don't know why, my internet crashed for a moment,

and it was impossible to re-enter, because we were two minutes before RACE...
Very bad...
Such a pity...
I 'm sorry...

And since I cut off smoking as a new year's promise...

My nerves are like SPAGHETTI now.

See you around guys...

In.

As explained in Teamspeak, I wasn't aware of the need to have Race On as well - so I couldn't make the race. Bought it, downloading now, will be ready for the next race.

Piotrek Blaszczak · Jan 6, 2015

Thx for tonight race.This is not good night for me

Phew.. yesterday was new gear day - got myself some new pedals after the issues those stock DFGT pedals were causing the past few weeks. Took me some time to get kinda used to it (and it will take more time!

) but I got back to what was my PB pretty soon when I went for a few laps yesterday.
However, I wasn't back to the (somewhat) usual consistency. At all. (But then again, this might've not been the perfect track to change the braking method

)
A timely arrival into P1 meant some more practice, though, and while I got a bit more consistent (and below 1:20!), I still opted to not qualify as I didn't want to risk messing up the braking and piling up the entire grid

Had a good start but lifted through T1 & 2 - it wasn't the time to pass, yet

Soon enough, I got by @Aleksander Pienkowski, though. With @Dennis Phelan bumping into @Belet Michel during the next lap, that was 3 positions gained already!

Next up was the other Lada on today's grid, maneuvered by @Piotrek Blaszczak - getting right behind him for the straight, I drafted past, kept it through the final corner and performed the same move when @Reggie Blain Snr turned up a few laps later.

However, a screwed up turn or two brought Reggie back to my rear bumper and he paid back the favour. For the next few laps, we got a nice battle going, all while Dennis got closer and closer to the both of us...

And indeed it was him who turned up metres behind me after Reggie had distributed parts of his car in the countryside

After a few laps, Dennis got into passing position after I had screwed up that last-to-the-straight corner yet again and got by to claim P7.

Now in P8, I realized I was about to start from pole position and quickly went in for a... really, really necessary pit stop, costing me a few positions

Starting from P10, I got off the line fairly well yet again. Unfortunately, that was about it as my front right tyre/bumper/everything met the barriers of T1 and thus put me into commentary

Thanks for racing, everyone - see you next time!

Aaron Channer · Jan 6, 2015

I cant make thursday nights, which is why you only see me tues and fri.
Wish I could.

Have fun everyone.

Lucky me, I ended up with a car that hauls ass! So I tried to put it to good use

R1: OK, great around the track but I forgot to explore getting it off the line at the start, it didn't with first too low and second too high. Tenth by the time I got to T6

. L2 approaching T6 I closed on Michel and Tapped him off back to P12

. After a lap or two I was up to speed and nailing the esses and back straight, moving up in the world

. L4-11 I'm watching Bjorn and Snr ahead wondering if I can catch them? Snr takes a tumble and I have to chase Bjorn, free to run. I was really expecting a 16 lap race and needed that lap to pass Bjorn, fortunately he over braked just before the straight and I got by on L15

.

R2: I made a gear change for the start but didn't realize the full extent of my problem and there was still a huge gap between first and second so I crawled off the line barely able to stay in the front group. At least by now I did understand my cars abilities and how safe it was to push. On L2 I was able to pass both Wayne and Piotrek, Aaron alone ahead and wonder how long this was going to last. TS is silent but there;'s plenty of noise going on, a very regular Thump...Thump...Thump coming from my headset, no it's from my ears, it's my heartbeat loud and strong

. Wayne and Piotrek are holding up the fast guys, great job but on L4 Reggie gets by, it won't be long

. Reggie's by on L6 and Arunas is close behind

and can get on my bumper but the long straight stumps him. He's able to run on my bumper and draft but to no avail. Nelson gets by him on L12 and passes me hard, he has some top end and can draft but not make the pass. Lucky me the race ends before Nelson can find the room to make a pass!

A very nice track for these cars, Thursday will be another story as the Muscle cars take over. I hope you've practiced in them?

Thanks to all for some great racing!
