I had a great battle with @Ron Hämäläinen Right from the start I was behind him and battled him for the first few laps, then I overtook him and later on he pitted. After my pitstop I came back 3 seconds behind him, pushed for what I was worth, not even once driving a 1:27.* laptime... (WHICH I WANT SO BADLY) But I came closer anyways, closed the gap and with a hero move, almost T-boning @Frank van Oeveren (I wonder if Frank noticed) , I overtook Ron in turn 1 in lap 16, I tried to keep up with Frank but I made too many mistakes and altough it felt like Franks laps were sloppy, they werent and he took off. I quitted chasing him on lap 19 because I feared I would push too far and crash. If I kept it up and didn't crash I might have got the opportunity on lap 20 to overtake him when he missed the chicane and received a penalty. Unfortunately the gap was a bit too big and ended 0.7 secodns behind him.

Moral of the story: I didn't crash this race, which is a massive miracle for me! I am making progression in becoming a solid midfielder.

Question of the day: Am I too quick for the backmarkers, or am I too slow for the front runners? After Ron's pitstop I drove in the middle of nowhere, with nobody closing in on me and me not closing in on anybody...

Thanks for the event guys, more T5 is highly appreciated.

 

[Krisztián Tóth]

Really awesome and intense race, thanks @Frank van Oeveren for the nice battle

Unfortunately the fuel calculator made me fool so i started with way too much amount.
I just realized that in the middle of the race, so a quick tactic change was nessesary.. never the less great event, looking forward to the next one! Thanks @Simon Knight for organising!

PS: Who scared the hell out of us, in T2 heading the wrong direction?

I dont think it was you. I have seen Simon lagging (little jumping now and then) quite a bit. When you two crashed I was behind you and saw that it was a lag crash. But can not tell who of you was lagging at that moment.

I was having a hard time behind @Simon Knight the whole race. Nice battling. But it was very difficult sometimes to not crash into you because of lags.

And at the end Marc Brockmeyer (?) left me a little less room in the last chicane. But that was a racing incident. I don't blame him for crashing me. It was just a little frustrating for me after all these laps behind Simon.

 

[Lionel Gamet]

Thank ralf,i feel better now,it was my first race on assetto.

 

[Kevin Hagendoorn]

Really fun cars!, but unforgiving on Braking hard !

I had a really good start ( usually i lose a place or 2) Over took @Lionel Gamet for 2th place.
Tryed to keep up whit @Marc Brockmeyer until he made a lil spun mistake? /5 sec penalty on the end of lap 1.

From there i had a lil gap to the guys batteling behind me, boring race for me after that tho, but hard to keep focused, i even spun a lil on last lap

Anyhow Great Racing Guys!

Thanks @Simon Knight for Organizing.

Haha ye, I noticed, but I didn't care too much, I figured if you hit me you would take us both out :-P. And ye after my pitstop I had way too much fuel and couldn't get back up to speed, but it was fast enough to stay in front ^^.

Spoiler: Some race photos

Start:

Close racing with @Ron Hämäläinen

(I wouldn't dare to put my hand in that spot)

Almost T-Boned @Frank van Oeveren

 

[Roni]

Great race thank you all.

@Ricardo umas When you make your hero move I need to pull up my throttle, because there wasn´t no space to keep my outside line. I had 3 options. a) hit with you b) drive to the grass c) pull up the throttle and make a clean race. You were little bit faster so I think that you would overtake me anyways. Do you remember or know that in club races there is only 2 tires outside of the white line rule ... Anyway nice to have a good battle. I think that we were almost only ones who start with the soft tires and that´s why there was lonely between laps 5-15.

These are really fun cars to drive, I hope that next race is soon. An I think that fast cars need longer tracks

Yeah it was really close, maybe my accidental tactic change, if i would have to refuel im sure it would be different way

I'm surprised I was lagging in this event. I have had no problems since I wiped pc a couple of weeks ago. With a 100mbit connection, i7, titan and 16gb ram I don't know what else I can do.

Guess I'll just watch from pit road from now on!

No one downloading in the house? Is the connection to your PC wired? What kind of router do you have?

 

[Si]

discovered that my boy was on Netflix for first 10 laps. pc is hard wired. VirginMedia home hub.

I can't recall a moment where I gained advantage by leaving the track limits, the only trouble I kept having was staying on track in turn 4. I'll try to pay more attention to it in future races tho

And actually, I started on the hard tyres not the softs , I know I'd ruin the softs within 3-4 laps so I figured doing 5-6 laps on hards would be sufficient and then switch to mediums. My laptimes did not disappoint on the hards and I decided to empty my tank as far as possible which turned out to be lap 11, switching to mediums.

 

[Galin Dimov]

Yeah many apologies for that incident @Ralf Ääro
Couldn`t go by that pack in front of me for a many many laps, nice racing until that stupid try from me
After quali i was a bit nervous as i never thought i could make it easy into top 10 and then... finally lost it in lap 2 by touching the grass slightly on brakes.
Nice Mod, thanks for bringing this up, where`s the next one

2:30 spun / 25:00 incindent with Ralf
