wow 2 2nd's and a very hard fought 4th...congrats red on your hat trick mate...I loved the close battle we had in race 2...

on a slightly different note...2 mins is the lap record at the mo for Daytona road...im thinking its going to be another epic race Daytona...plenty of scope to slipstream down to the line...

 

[ROB 256R]

Yeah race 2 was a good one. You and Ian were working me over for quite a while. Some nice moves; very clean 👍

Almost had the perfect score this evening but I think Ian stole a 'stuffy' draft-assisted fastest lap in race 2 Meh! And that was off the back of trying to blatantly draft me in qually I had to reset to the pits and go again.

 

[mrbrendon999]

Looks like i missed a good one... Couldn't make it because was quite ill and wrist was wrecking but, hope for a good'n next week

I didn't think that it was that 'blatantly' obvious! You can't blame a guy for trying...it was my best chance of getting pole.

Yeah Ian's good at drafting...tho I could shake him off mine...you could shake me off yours ...but yeah overall race 2 is my fave of the season so far...even tho I didn't win...lol

 

[canyondrifter]

Oh yeah...how many laps / pit window for RCD

 

[SkengD]

Race 2 was tough work and i thought i had a good shot at 3rd in the end .

I got some good points overall i think despite just one podium

Just realizing brendon wasnt there yesterday

Races would of been different with you there .

Overall i think Autumn Ring was a success , reminded me of a Motegi race where its really close pack racing and hard to overtake but easy to follow.

So did I sadly, my favourite track, but glad to see it went well and people enjoyed it,
had alot on my mind, had endless people coming over (mum's friends) and my foot was killing me,

Off topic but does anyone here doing engineering or know anyone who is?
I need to decide on courses before Monday

Hopefully we can claw back points Thursday!

 

[canyondrifter]

Thursday's race will undoubtedly open the field...it should be fairly easy to overtake on such a wide track and levels the playing field a bit with all that lovely slipstream that will be available...it will be cool to have stig and Brandon back as well...

 

[Scaniabebe]

Not particularly looking forward to it... Hate the first corner!

 

[canyondrifter]

Yeah the first corner and the first hairpin will be a pain but by lap 2 things should have calmed down

 

[sibbystiggy]

Yep, just like on hsr, another high speed track, another day for Romeo-o-Romeo to get good phases :-P

Not sure what missing autumn ring is gonna do to our positions on the table :-\
Cus Both romeos were down due to injuries

Haha thanks mate and yeah, this course in my opinion is hsr mixed with gvs, fast banked corners with lots of hairpins... Well a few xD

We will just have to work 30x as hard now... XD but i gotta fit in college as well soon... I start back on the 5th... Should be 3 days a week for about 8am - 5pm (or as late as 7:30)

 

[canyondrifter]

sure is quiet on here this week...anyone got any idea of how many laps we will be running at Daytona yet?...

 

[mrbrendon999]

I'd guess between 7 and 10

 

[SkengD]

Which pit exit are we using as well ?

 

[canyondrifter]

Which pit exit are we using as well ?

I would assume the one that brings you back onto the track before the corner...that's the one I always use...

 

[ROB 256R]

Which pit exit are we using as well ?

I think we should use the proper exit inside the barrier. It's too dodgy to join in the middle of turn 1.

Laps will be 9 or 10 probably.

 

[SkengD]

Yeh i usually use the safer exit to the left , will have to practice the pit entry an exit

 

[ROB 256R]

Yep, very easy to enter too fast here and get reset. The inner exit is more tricky but I think it's definitely the safer choice.

Its also easy to slide onto grass and miss you stop... But yeah I've had people ruin my races exiting from first exit hete
..

 

[canyondrifter]

looks like I have a lot of practicing to do then...lol I have never used the inside track... yes I can see how a car exiting the pits could mess up a car coming off the straight but what are the chances of that actually happening?...ive never actually seen an accident caused by a car exiting the pits on that track but i'll stick to whatever is decided...

 

[canyondrifter]

Laps will be 9 or 10 probably.

I hope its an odd number...even numbers are too easy to judge pit window....spices things up a bit when theres an odd number of laps...
