[Simon Gardner]

Yeah me too. loads of lag ended up with a puncture then disconnected. :frown:

 

[Graham Simmons]

Well that was a baptism of fire

Hindsight suggests I'd have been better not running my first race on a circuit edged by walls. I crashed badly in race one and thought I'd be OK in two, but it was not to be so.

Turned in to a bit of a demolition derby between the walls, my bent race 1 steering and me.

The BMW somehow managed to cross the line in the second race a bit like Herby the Beetle when he has had a thrashing. Everything scraping on the road and nothing working as it should......

....see you all at the next one

 

[Bob Miley]

I`ll give this a go please Sir David of Buxton, not to many corners to hurt my thumbs.

Good to see you back by the way.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Hehe indeed nice shakedown for you with Race on.

 

[Stefan Werner]

I agree that some of the replays could make a great movie. What do you guys use to make them as I would like to make an attempt at a little one. I could make a little movie for myself that would show how not to pass ( Stefan at Mosport and Riverside ), how to almost pass (Stefan at brno), and how to make a pass.

lol... Sam, I use Fraps to capture the footage and Windows Movie Maker to edit as I don't have Premier on this machine. Then I usually convert the outputted wmv to an mp4 using Xillisoft Video Converter 3, in order to reduce the filesize to something a bit more reasonable for uploading.

I too was thinking this would be an excellent opportunity for a vid.

And speaking of unfinished business at Mosport.

 

[János Ócsai]

Great event! Today I wasn't sure if I should enter this event. I arrived home from work not much before start and was quite tired, there were two option: sleep or race. Gladly i chose the second.:letsgoracing:
I was not on the top today. Practiced yesterday and could run low 2:05's constantly with a feel that there could be a second better hot lap. Today only managed mid 2:06's during practice and qualy.
Race 1: started as 7th I couldn't move forward waited for an opportunity. in the 4th corner Pieter lost control just in front of me and he spun. I had no escape way and not enough space and grip to slow down so I bumped into him then hit the wall. Rejoined as 11th maybe. Started to chase the drivers in front of me some I overtook normally, some had crash and I passed them by. Tried to run for the 4th place but it was in the second half of the race, the tired got very worn out and I spun once. Pulled back from the pace, the goal was to finish.
Race 2: starting from 4th with a good start the two BMW's (Pieter and me) just pulled out. RWD power, mate!!!
I started attacking Pieter instantly. He lost control in the 4th corner again, so I was at 1st pos. WHHHAT??? Am I leading an RD race??? Heartbeat is up. Knew that faster drivers are behind me. Got a little bit disoriented watched the mirrors to many times. First Dan tried to outbreak me, but he missed and lost grip. Than Michael overtook me at the first chicane. I tried to stay close at his back, but with my rhino reflex I didn't brake in time, so bumped into him (Sorry again). Gladly Ivo helped and bumped him back to the right direction:wink:
Not much later at the exit of the slowest corner my leg gone digital (on/off) over the gas pedal. Result was a spin. At a very bad place, had to use the whole track to turn back into direction, and couldn't see if anyone is coming into the corner. Gladly nothing bad happened. After this the situation was the same as in the first race. Chasing and overtaking. Had same fun with Omer. Finished 4th.

Too bad that many of you lost connection:frown:
Simon: your lag was very funny. It started as a russian roulette game: where will your car pop up next time... Then your car started taking the chicanes with light speed...

Thanks for the event!

 

[Nigel Atkins]

yes please david, and yes its great to have you back m8

 

[Ivo Simons]

Indeed some nice racing. Not a big grid like the last 2 weeks but maybe it was a good thing on this track.

 

[Pieter Theron]

Hi János, TBH I was all over the show bar the stage (road) where it really counted. That corner is just one BIG magnet as Bram's "GTR3" screenshot thread so I couldn't stay away :love-over:

Side Note: I think we should look at the replay from all angles because sure enough Xavier had his car on rails and I saw it with my own eyes ray:

Thanks for the event Ivo so have a drink on me tonight :drink:

 

[Ivo Simons]

Hehe yeah indeed. Dont know how he almost got under the 2 min in Q.:eek:

 

[János Ócsai]

Haha! We will name that corner after you. "Pieter's nightmare" or something like that!:banana:
Do I remember well, that you promised something before race?:tongue:

Xavier: you should know that instant glue is not allowed on the tire surface according to FIA homologisation...
Great car control, mate!

 

[Pieter Theron]

O man so glad I added the "...well maybe not promise ray:" at the end otherwise I might have been in trouble tonight. Whew that was close..

Xavier really did very well on a tight circuit with the BMW, hats off to the fella

[Xavier Locht]

You can view replays and you will see that i touch maybe 1 or 2 times rails in race and not once in my best quali lap ;-).

 

[Corey Theman]

Oooh...I'm always partial to mid-ohio. The GT-S cars there would be rockin.

 

[Pieter Theron]

:lol:... I was actually complementing you "on rails" not "in the rails". Side Rails on that track just damages the suspension so I am sure you stayed away from it Good laps Xavier pity about the disconnect

You can view replays and you will see that i touch maybe 1 or 2 times rails in race and not once in my best quali lap ;-).

 

[Xavier Locht]

Ouuuups, misunderstood. Sorry Pieter

 

[Willie Watt]

[Bob Hutchins]

The Knight returns, pls sign me up Sir Buxom. As like the others before grt to see u back mate..

 

[Pieter Theron]

Ouuuups, misunderstood. Sorry Pieter

 

[Bob Hutchins]
