BTCC Online Championship Season 3

[rolo912011]

oh well in any case seems i lost a tem-mate :/

Don't you have a 3rd driver? Why not ask him to join you?

 

[SkengD]

When you respect other drivers they show you the same respect on the track . Give them space and they will give you space .

The race isnt always won in one lap or one corner

 

[wiseguy007]

Didn't say a word about it for it was more or less a race thing. Also unlike others crashes didn't seem done on purpouse.

Wasn't complaining about the warning....the statement just seems a bit misleading as i don't remember you ending up anywhere near the gravel. Didn't save the replay so can't check it.

Geeky can you change the thread title to advertise our 2 free spaces?

Something like '2 FREE SPACES OPEN'.

OP could do with an update too 👍

Hopefully coming! :/

He's responded to my PSN when i originally mentioned it, I've sent him a private message on GTP with a link to this thread and a breakdown of the series rules/regs and who the completion are

He's faster than me so hopefully he'll be challenging up front

Hey Rolo look on the bright side less cars less aggro for you. Didnt you have 14 yesterday? Seems a pretty decent number and a bit lagg safer too.

 

[rolo912011]

Always prefer the full grid.

Yeah, highest number of finishers ever in Race 1 I think 👍

 

[RobFocus]

14 drivers and no lag

Btw guys, if I ever DC before a race, please wait 5 minutes as it happens rather more often than I'd like Thanks for waiting last night

Should have done better than 5th and 8th but I enjoyed it

(and going from last to 4th in the first few laps of race 2 was pretty fun )

Hey if you guys think I'm too quick I'd gladly take a 50kg weight increase make it 1450kg

Look forward to it jb 👍

Hmmm to early to say for me tbh,

I just think the track selection has favoured the 4WDs more than the FF/FR's so far, if it comes to A4's winning on tracks that are more suited to us then yeah maybe.

GVE we held out own tho so all is not lost yet!

 

[rolo912011]

gedi and jb are very fast drivers as well, I reckon no matter what they drive. I think you'd need to look at how I do perhaps for a more realistic view on it.

 

[kk20]

Yeah theres no doubt that nurb and tsukuba are audi tracks. But If we see gedi winning twice in DFR and special stage route 5, thats when theres a problem...

 

[SkengD]

I think the audi has had its turn , with 2 high speed tracks next i expect things to change

 

[azidahaka]

as i said in pre season test, the audi are way too good. noone listened

Maybe starting in the back rows on not too friendly tracks will help the others.

 

[priesty_lfc]

Yeah no doubting he's fast, I just mean the tracks have played a big part too. GVE Gedi was 4th which is still good, Skeng got a pen so he moved to 3rd so 2 3rds on a track suited to FF/FR proves he's fast but I just think the it will be a lot closer than the last 2 results have been on the next few tracks. (Will I'm hoping lol)

Yep! Hopefully the rest of the field should be able to pick up a win or 2 to close the gap

DSF I think it quite even, Monza depends on conditions, dry us, wet Audi but SSR5 should be us

To quote Furi "Things just got interesting" I wont get in your way mr.

 

[Gedi69]

Guys guys guys as I said earlier deep forest is a good track for the Audi too, monza in testing I was really close to the focus.

 

[azidahaka]

so far i'm not getting under 1.24

awful time! O_o

what will be this season's rule for the concrete runaway?

 

[SkengD]

What times so far on deep forest gedi ?

 

[priesty_lfc]

Guys guys guys as I said earlier deep forest is a good track for the Audi too, monza in testing I was really close to the focus.

After round 1 the Audis were considering asking for more power now all of a sudden your too fast?

Who's Focus?

so far i'm not getting under 1.24

awful time! O_o

what will be this season's rule for the concrete runaway?

Pretty sure someone's said we can use the run off here (but only here) but 9ne of the stewards will have to confirm that.

My low 1:23 was made using the run off......

 

[wiseguy007]

I thought someone posted earlier that we weren't allowed to use the run off here...i could be wrong though.

Either way, i don't think we should!!!!

 

[kk20]

Runoff was allowed last season. Also if we allow the runoff in GVS then why not here?

 

[rolo912011]

I think run-off should be allowed, as it was last season.

We don't need the power upgrade any more tbh

 

[wiseguy007]

How come we're allowing all these off track areas? Does that mean we'll be allowed to cut the corners at Monza?

 

[Gedi69]

Runoff was allowed last season. Also if we allow the runoff in GVS then why not here?

The reason the runoff was allowed last season is because it was safer,if it wasnt used then there would be lots off crashs at that corner otherwise.

Not done any laps yet, you guys say that DF is a high speed track but i dont see it being any diff from nurb with its tight corners and little straights.

 

[priesty_lfc]

It's not a high speed track but at Nurb sec1 is where the Audis got most of there advantage (from what I can remember), there's not a sector at DF which is like that, DF is more flowing so I don't expect the advantage to be so high.

Of course these are all my thoughts, the other guys might feel differently but that's my 2cents!
