BST V8 challenge -COMPLETED

[Akmuq]

Thank you very much Tom.

 

[RacerPaul]

Congrats to Unclebob for his great racing last night 👍

Several times we were neck and neck down the back straight and in the left-hander at the bottom, and not a hint of contact

At all times I was confident that we wouldn't have an incident, and so it proved to be

My rears tyres were fried by the end of race 2 which dropped me to 5th, but it was still a very enjoyable race

Thanks all, I had a fun nights racing

 

[Jhodas]

Another intense and eventful night of racing.
Someone ragequit last night, mentioning my name.
I was in a fishtail on the back straight at one point due to car damage, so sorry for the couple of people that got caught in that.
The actualy ragequit incident was on a black muscle car of some kind, which, as muscle cars tend to be, was sideways in turn 3. I went up the inside. Sorry if I clipped you.
Please note that I play with a DS3 and lack the precision of people with wheels.
Saving up for a Fanatec set.

Ive yet to look at the incident but have heard from other drivers that were witness to the incident, they tell me you were struggling like you say with damage so guess others were nfortunate to be caught up in it i will look when i get time any idea what lap??💡 Just for the record i had a good couple of laps hard scrap with you Jhodas race 2 which was firm but fair imo that Jag had some poke!! Was glad when you spun out and i could escape!

yeah I had a fun time aswell..
The 2 laps UncleBob stayed out made the difference in the end
I had about an 8 second lead(i think) around lap 21-22 and maybe a scratch or 2 on the paint Until I caught up with Jhodas, which caused my wreck on the last turn and further ruined my already ruined tires
I used my horn and my lights to signify I was passing, but i guess you cant hear that with theses cars
Racing is racing, but if your split time from the leader is about the same as your lap time, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE move over..


and sorry if my friends list is full, I've been playing 8-9 multiplayer games since 2008 and 100 max friends is not enough


this Monday was New Brunswick day so people here got the day off, hopefully I have another day off next one, I LOVE Cote D'Azur

same here i was glad when someone else spun out gave me a chance to actually race without dodging the pinball!! lol

Im glad i have a drivable car now, The last to races shows that.
But yet to get on the podium.

I watched the incidents with culk and he was just unlucky wrong place at wrong time.

what we doing about chicane at monaco? are we going to have penaltys set on weak for this?

Hmmm not sure weak pens pick up the chicane cut i will test it when ive got time and sort out the laps for each race while im at it. Would Culkin enter if we apply weak ??WELL CULK??

 

[Gedi69]

Who's plato & neil JB?

I am fairly certain that the chicane does not count for penalties

 

[V8-Johnboy]

I am fairly certain that the chicane does not count for penalties

Didnt think so, its not a major chicane issue like Monza or even last nights track for instance, no one has taken the piddle up to now and i watched replay after replay last night So im not over concerned other than the fact theres no damm room!!! should be interesting.

 

[Gedi69]

Who's plato & neil???

I also watched the replays about 4 times there was always going to be some crash's.
after rd 4 and everyones still in the series we must be doing something right.
Glad your all still enjoying it,And a very welldone to jack for still competing!

 

[V8-Johnboy]

You and Furi take it the context its ment fella ok.👍

 

[Akmuq]

The fastest way through is to leave 2 wheels on the curb so penalties aren't really needed. However, if someone uses the extra space to overtake then penalties should be enforced if they don't give back the position.

I also love Monaco, I had two epic fights with RacerPaul in Toca series 2 there.👍

whoever wins the sprint will probably be starting in the top 4 lol

Lol i need to learn to stay well back from him and overtake when he lose's it!

Shame you wasnt there akmuq, can anyone let me know some offline times for monaco plz.

 

[Furinkazen]

We'll see, it's not if I lose it, it is when I lose it

Shame you wasnt there akmuq, can anyone let me know spme offline times for monaco plz.

I'm already starting testing for Monaco. In TOCA cars it was manageable, in V8's will be interesting. Pit strategy is a must if you don't want to be held up. Any idea on race lengths?

 

[Culkin]

Na im out for good, sick of backing off so I dont wreck people in front and yet getting wrecked by people who dont back off n just put it down to me been "unlucky"

To the clean racers I raced with Furi, Akmuq, JB, Gedi, RP, Cunny, Bob, Moe and Jack good luck with the future races 👍

Thanks culk but if you still feel the same by the weekend then i will delete you,
would be a shame if you left as you are mid table with a few off us, a couple of decent finish's and you would be right up there.

Monaco was fun, BMW wasn't fastest but damn in corners it was strong.

My sincere apologies for this. I certainly didn't hear your horn or see your lights and it was only after I checked the standings I realised you were lapping me. By then it was too late.
I offered my apologies in chat after the race too.

No idea mate, sorry. I think it was the first half of the race, since that's what cost me 3-4 places.

Just for the record i had a good couple of laps hard scrap with you Jhodas race 2 which was firm but fair imo that Jag had some poke!! Was glad when you spun out and i could escape!

Yeah, that thing has an insane amount of torque. I'd shortened the gearing a fair bit too, although I think I had too much camber on, hence the spin.
I enjoyed that fight, and the one with Hancolc in race 1.

Monaco will be interesting, basically nowhere to overtake, and a spinner will hold the whole field up...

In Toca 2 i spun just before tunnel and held everybody up and it was chaos,
so wont be looking to do that again!
