SPECIFICS






I - List of Participants:

1. pauljw1983
2. mhm66
3. Zedux
4. GTP_Fairplay_plz
5. GTP_Hun
6. PiotrB
7. GTP_ENERGIYA (1st fastest RTL)

II - Pairings



- mhm66 vs. pauljw1983

WINNER: mhm66



- GTP_ENERGIYA vs. PiotrB_23

WINNER: PiotrB_23



- Zedux vs. GTP_Hun

WINNER: Zedux



- GTP_Fairplay_plz vs. Host_Killer

WINNER: Host_Killer





So, in Round Two we had 12 racers applying, in this one we are down to 8 (6 winners + 2 "lucky losers").


After this round is completed, we will have 4 winners. There will be no "lucky losers" this time, so get your act together and win the race or out you go! LOL

Anyway, making it to round 3 is already an achievement, so if you get your name in the above list, congratulations!



III - Timeframe for each pairing to do the races:
Starting next Monday April 6th, from 00:00 GMT, until Tuesday April 14th, with the race result sent by PSN PM to me (PSN ID: GTP_Hun) until 23:59 GMT

This Round will have two more days than usual to be completed, because Sunday 12th April is, as you know, Easter Sunday.





IV - The Car

FERRARI 575 GTC


It's a beast, isn't it? Well, this is Round 3, expect no mercy!


V - The Track

SILVERSTONE





VI - Race start Rules

Immediately after both racers get control of their cars they must stop and, as quick as possible go back to the start/finish line and place their car in their respective grid spot (car in first goes to pole, car in second goes to second slot on the grid). Best option to do this is probably to use reverse gear, but that's up to the player. Practise on how to do this right is highly recommended, because it is tricky to avoid a disqualification.

After both cars are stopped and in position, the race starts when the race clock reaches 00:40, unless BOTH RACERS agree on a different time or (if both use working headsets) they want to set a "verbal" countdown (from one of them) once both are ready.

If both racers agree, they can skip this "standing start" rule and just do the race from the rolling start they get from the game. In this case, the host will set the start order setting at "random".




VII - Weather condition

WET




- Length of race


20 MINUTES


Now, 20 minutes, at Silverstone, wet, with the 575 GTC ... will be a matter of consistency as much as a matter of speed. So ... and to all ...

... Good Luck!

I'm glad you like it. I like it also :)

Meanwhile, and assuming I would get news from either you or host_killer today, I sorted the pairings last night already, and they've just been posted.

It happens that I get to race the guy that made a 1:35 at Mont Tremblant :crazy:

Zedux, I hope you remember your duties, keep on beta testing SCC all this week and don't have much time to practise this combo :dopey:


(joking, of course :D )

you blame it on mhm66 but he kept inviting me for some race I didn't know why but he told me the track was silverstone and conditions wet so I just had over an hour of wet racing again mhm66 and segel lol!!!

I was just about to return full time to FC when I got a pm from Ferraripro which made me very happy and spend time with something else! So now on I can't play much FC only the day we race! I hope we have a good race but I didn't understand about Mont Tremblant! What car was the lap time?!!!
 
The F40, of course.

About that mhm66 lobby ... I know I shoudn't have posted the round details yesterday :ouch: you guys are practiseaholics :lol:
 
blame yourself mario:)
i had a good pratice with zedux and segel today.
i'm glad i'm not up against zedux because he is just to fast for me.
who is the lucky guy that got to race him:sly:
well this should be fun.i'll go pratice some more:)
 
Just got a first race result.

pauljw1983 vs. mhm66

WINNER: mhm66


Congratulations mhm, you are the first semi-finalist of this Event! Prepare yourself for Round 4! Won't tell you now what it is, but I can assure you it won't be easy for anyone :sly:

paul, you did great getting this far, I hope you had fun and I will surely let you know if any future event gets organized! 👍

PS - I will update post #1
 
thx mario
a little comment on my race with pauljw1983
this was the first time i race him i think.i ask him if we should have some
pratice and we did 2x5 min with me winning and a 10 min race with pauljw1983 as winner.the we desided to do our roc.i was in front at the start
and pauljw1983 made a mistake or 2 on the first lab leaving him 5-6 sec behind.he was clearly faster then me and after 4 labs he was only 1 sec after.
again he made a mistake so me lead went up to 4 sec.again he closed the gap but made another mistake and this time there wasen't enough time left to catch me.i won with 1.5 sec but it was only because i didn't make any big mistake that i won.so you where right mario when you sayd that it'll be down to who made the most mistakes.i had great fun.thx to pauljw1983 for the fight.

Mario, PiotrB_23 won the race against me. DAMM.

He was just to fast for me in 575 GTC, a car i have never drove until now.
 
Piotr is very fast indeed, but you are also so I hope you guys had a good race. Congratulations to Piotr, and a big thanks to you for participating in this. 👍



Meanwhile, I am curious, what kind of laptimes are you guys (mhm, paul, energiya, piotr) getting?

Last night I tried this combo for the first time and I can do a (almost) clean lap every 5 laps :D My best time was 1:59, I guess that must be really bad but I have no clue what kind of laptime should I aim for.



PS - I'll update the first post.
 
I think I did 1:58.2x but without a lot of practice any without any driving aids (racing line also). Driving in wet is very interesting because of very weak traction so the key to fast lap ia s throttle control.
 
... and brake control. I lost the car more often in braking than because of the throttle. Anyway, I just did two races so, even if I can't get much faster, I can at least try to be more consistent.
 
:lol: you must consider that before our races I did the 575 GTC Trophy just to remind myself of what this car is all about, so I had a definite advantage over you. :)
 
hi mario
my best time silverstone/wet in 575 gtc is 1:58:2x.when i should learn to drive the car,i drive quick race 1 on 1.then it's just to set the differculty so it match your speed.mine is set to expert but he was way to fast.the first times i try it i lost by 20-25 sec after 11 laps.
 
Mário - I hope all races from now on are wet conditions. It's not that I love wet races :) but it's a real challenge keeping it on track!

mhm66 - Congrats your win was over a very good racer!

p.s. I know someone who was doing 1:56.5xx wet race in silverstone with 575 gtc these days lol!!!

hi zedux
i saw it when we drove the other day.it was 1:56:80.it's the last time i invite you to pratice lol.no just kidding.i'm sure we will have some good battles in the future.:)
 
Wish i could join you guys in round 4, Looks like i'm not good enough, I make to many mistakes when it comes to events like this one.

Mario, thanks for creating this event & i hope i do a better job in future events.


Also like to thank mhm66 & Zedux for same great racing today & i think mhm witnessed the biggest crash in FC history, the smoke from crash hung around for 2 whole laps.

hm66--I "might" be on in ~ 2 hours--send me a friend request. I'm out of the event but I'd be happy to race you with this car.
 
Yeah, I had a great time too. It's been a long time since I raced that car and you tend to forget just how difficult it is.
 
Sorry I didn't accept your race invites last night mhm, firstly I don't have the 250LM and secondly I didn't notice the invites as I had left my PS3 on and you must have sent them when I wasn't playing or when I was using the TV for other things.
 
thats what happens.
we'll race another time:)
when i create a lobby i tend to invite all friends online.even if the are playing
other games.
 
Lads,

I am truly sorry, work had me traveling quite a bit these last weeks. I presumed I had been eliminated completely from contention. To my surprise, I received message from Fairplay and subsequently realised I am still racing.

I just now read up and will definitely be able to participate in this weeks race.

Cheers,
Host_Killer
 
Hi Host Killer,

It's not this week's race. It's last week's race that had the deadline extended to today because last weekend was Easter weekend.

So, if you want to race Round 3, and maybe qualify for Round 4 (if you win) ... you must do it today!

Will wait for news 👍
