I'm going to do some testing tomorrow because I'm thinking of switching to the BMW class. I'll know for sure in 24 hours.

I'm sorry to report that I've been sick the last few days and am unfortunately still feeling really unwell. Getting up at 4am was a big enough task when I was 100% so unfortunately I'm going to have to withdraw my entry. @Snaeper I have an American friend whose interested in competing in the M3 class, I gave him your PSN ID and all the details so he should get in touch with you before it's time to go racing.

Hope to race with you guys next week

 

[Snaeper]

Why's that? What's wrong?

Leoni updated me, it's okay. Hope you can make the date in the future.


Shout out to @nascarfan1400 , @Nail-27 , and @chatva If you guys are available, would you like to participate in today's race? I'd like to welcome you back!

 

[hognhominy]

no vintage prototypes, no le sarthe, spa instead

 

[Snaeper]

Well when no one signs up for it, what can you really do?

And the vintage le Mans event will still be run the weekend after that. Cheer up panda-bear.

EDIT: Alright, I'm gonna take a quick nap. Alarms are set to ensure I'll be awake in time.

 

[Brutaka]

Dammit, looks like I can't make it, my parents need help with fixing their house

Room is open: 1472-6118-8218-5439

If anyone in SP9 is willing to move to SP7 for at least three cars for the field that would be appreciated, but not required.

 

[Snaeper]

Well to all involved, I'd like to thank you for the race. It wasn't as good a turn out as last week, but it was still a pretty good event.

Looking forward to next week's Spa Race!

Pics from the race are here, mostly from the start and from a great battle AudiMan2011 and I had at the very end.

 

[youngz]

Really sorry I bailed, that wasn't fun at all, I had full wets and literally no grip whatsoever, spinning out all over the place. I noticed you all were using hards and mediums are wets pointless?

That is a question I would like answered too, but Wets do have their limitations in terms of traction and require a very smooth driving style, they cannot be treated like Hards on a dry surface.

In the future though, I do ask you to just stick with it, no better learning experience than forcing yourself to run laps in the rain. 👍 And you won't get better if you don't practice!

 

[Leoni Dias]

Lol, I was using Heavy Wet Tires, and in the end the Intermediate ones.

 

[Snaeper]

ahh that explains it, @youngz, it was just a display error, because it said Leoni was using RH's the whole time.

So just do some serious practice in the rain, focus on simply keeping your car on the track above going fast, speed and pace will come with discipline and practice.

Words I need to advise myself on... lol.

I went to inters around 25% then to full wets around 90%. tough going in the rain.

 

[youngz]

Must have been a glitch then as when I was watching it showed only one person had wets on, not sure who.
Thanks for the advice lol. I was driving with mostly half to 3/4 accelerator, shifting really early and being ultra careful on braking and I was still spinning. I gotta admit I've never raced in 100% rain tho.

Got to stay off the racing line completely otherwise you got no chance, there's always the crossover point though and that's where to be very careful.

And yeah there's a replay glitch, it will show your own correct tyre but anyone else will show the tyre they started on for the whole race.
