Great event! And I'm not beeing ironically!!!
In race 1, I fighted with several cars all over the place. Got passed and passed back as we all had our little faults. Somehow catched the lead and seemed to have it safe, but entering lap 11 in turn 1 the car immediatly went right on braking. The corner was just as my slide needed it to be. so I "cutted" it massively (in fact it was a huge slide with jumping over the cerbs sideways). Wanted to let Rokas pass me entering the straight, but in turn 2 rear passed me. In turn 3... In turn 4... You get it
Finished 6 with about a minute off in 2 laps! Last car around i think.
In race 2, I had less practice on the longer layout, but from fifth or so on the grid a came out 2nd after the hairpin pileup^^ Made several more mistakes than in race 1 and therefore only could watch top 4 or 5 "brawling" in a single cloud of cars! Awesome
I closed the gap and started attacking. Others fell back (maybe brakes?) and I was 3rd or so, then we entered lap 11...
Came home 5th, but hit Warren (see below), which was stupidly unneccessary
Again last car running, which by numbers is a little low.
I found the brakes very tricky (even weird
), dunno if I was the only one.
Apologies to Andreas for the tap in the hairpin (Race 2), but you managed to get your revenge a little later
.
Yes, we played a little autoscooter there
Front brakes were fading too in this corner, so no chance for me. But unneccessary even to attack you, as I spun so much in this (I think) last lap. Sorry!
I remember I hit one more car, don't know the driver! SORRY MATE
The brake issues are more than just weird.
Rokas, what brake bias did you set? Others, were your front or rear brakes gone?
My brake bias was 53:47 and in race 2 53.5 or 54.
In both races my luck ended with the beginning of lap 11. And from then I spun in nearly every turn. Should have better off parked the car for good. But in club races, I think it is a form of respect to other (faster) drivers to end it even when running so awfully!
I hope I didn't ruin anyones race in the end. I had my first cut warning in lap 11 in race 1, which was not on purpose!
Thanks for organizing, Stu
And Rokas for the win!
Two things about rules and stuff:
1. I from my perspective did not see a single situation (where I was close, so I could see it at all), where drivers excessively cutted the track limits, played foul with hard manouvres and stuff! So thanks for all entering the race, I felt in great company!
2. I think people "reported" should be approached by PMs to make sure they know.
I hope it's not me? Please tell me then, and we can go over it. I tried to drive as soft/hard as others... (I am anxious, as I myself didn't feel attacked roughly, that's all - so maybe I took it to serious)
