Like i say no harm done Will i be carrying extra weight for nextweek? If so how much? Will need to apply to tyre setup.💡

I'm confused about weight penalty too.. I carried the 50 kg from Suzuka but I don't know if others were and if we have to fit that weight to next week.. And I never had an answer to the question whether Autumn Ring winners should carry their weight, although if they shouldn't I'll only go to the 1300kg

 

[Geeky30]

We are getting very distracted and forgetting the weight penalty; I think we should drop it, we end up forgetting, it's hard to check, and I don't want to overcomplicate things.

 

[captainhelmet]

15 second lead and heavy tyre wear did seem suspicious to me

The integras are loads faster dude, plus John seems very restrained and didnt push his luck.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Will be intersted to see some times for Joes Audi around Cape south had a go in the Integra and it hates all those tight sweeping turns not to mention the high curbs which kept spinning me out Might be a bit of a leveller, Monza was always going to be an Integra track plus its one i race loads Cape South sure as heck isnt.

 

[Furinkazen]

Room for one more?

 

[M3one]

I have just reviewed race one;

Lap 1 Turn 1; Rallymorten did not see sc61jgw and pushed him to the grass which caused an accident. Cotsworth, JoeTruckV8 and captainhelmet caused a chain reaction.
No action taken, race incident

JoeTruckV8 - 10 second penalty (for cutting the chicanes and gaining race position twice) maintains 2nd positon (just)

Chicken-pop-pops - 5 second penalty (cutting the chicane and gaining postion) falls to 10th
and a warning on lag

Johnboy did infact pit on lap 5


That makes the results

1st johnboy-1975-
2nd JoeTruckV8
3rd Geeky30
4th Cotsworth-1986
5th sc61jgw

eeyy!!what has happened with my complain?? I'm the one who started all this mess so I think you must be hating me
just kidding, please review it and tell us your considerations

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Ive got race 1 saved M3 forgot 2 I'll take a look if its race 1 and give another opinion.💡

 

[Geeky30]

Thankyou, It looked like M_3One did it accidently by braking early into turn one.

Race two will be looked into

 

[azidahaka]

they were talking about sc cutting corner to overtake m3 if i'm not mistaken

 

[M3one]

yes, in last lap sc cuts turn 2 and the one before the hairpin

 

[azidahaka]

any lap times from the next track?

 

[Geeky30]

yes, in last lap sc cuts turn 2 and the one before the hairpin

in race one or two?

As I saw in race One that he did not gain postion, I awarded penalties to drivers who gained position but am keeping an eye on for Race Two people who constantly cut (like a warning)

If the overtake from sc61jgw had been much sooner then I would have handed out the penalty, but there was a lot of time lost and gained past the chicane. sc61jgw lost speed, then gained the draft, and also M_3One was not going so fast around the last corner.

 

[M3one]

As I saw in race One that he did not gain postion, I awarded penalties to drivers who gained position but am keeping an eye on for race two people who constantly cut (like a warning)

It was race one, last lap, and he didn't beat when he was cutting but at the end of the lap because of the time he won cutting (he beat me for 0.2 seconds). As I said, his best lap was this last lap (with worn tires) and it was almost one second faster than his second best lap.

If you consider that this is not enough for penalty, no problem, i'll accept your resolution without any kind of hard feelings and i will continue enjoing this championship that I love it

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Gonna have a look later M3.

 

[Geeky30]

Race One highlights are done

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Great gonna settle down and watch.

Interesting viewing lots of mistakes which could have been rectified by slowing down and giving the place back, didnt notice any evidence of this unfortunately.

It's true, there is some work to with it we should try it

 

[RobFocus]

Interesting video, the incident between you (Geeky) and me looked pretty different to how I remember it... sorry about that.

Has anyone noticed how my wipers are on most of the time?

But now doing 1:24.1!!!

Same for me I'm loving Cape Ring South, has the feeling of a rally stage about it.

And the real BTCC is back at Oulton next weekend... get in!

 

[JulleGaard90]

Great commentary geeky 👍 keep up the good work!
Love this racing series and hope that all the drivers (including myself) will respect each other and the rules, so we can have yet another season really hope tyrrell changes his mind 👍

 

[azidahaka]

oh you spotted when i was sent out by sc at about 7:00! lost lots of time there

btw very cool commentary! try to speak louder it's like you try to keep your voice down not to wake someone sleeping

and i love how you say "volvo"

 

[joetruckv8]

looks like someone needs some success ballast, lol Johny Boy! I checked his in car camera replay to see where he was getting all that time from, but he was doing 149mph like the rest of us down the straight so I'm confused there. We just have to award him as a good driver. The fastest guy in a straight line that I found was Rob Focus hitting 157mph in a draft. I believe geeky could have reached that too, if he would of drafted off Rob Focus a little longer, but most of us were hitting 154mph coming down the main straight in a draft. Pretty evenly matched. My car feels like a rock in the water when someone is drafting me, but the mph where matching up pretty closely'

Great Series Fellas, we just have to work on the beating & banging at the 1st couple of laps'

Great post Joe some interesting data you've collected:tup: As for the ballast idea im fine with that but i think geeky's decided against it. Next track could well suit your Audi for example will be a much closer race for sure. Integra wants to stay in the garage in Italy..

 

[azidahaka]

running 1.24.700, might reach 1.24.300 in a life's lap...

waiting for johnny to stamp his 1.20.000 now

 

[rallymorten]

Is any of the BMW's up for some training later today?

 

[captainhelmet]

Cool vid geek, looking forward to R2 vid

Just quickly tried cape south and pulled 1.24.633.

Looks hopeful so I might get some proper runs in after Moto gp

Captainhelmet, you was given a 5 second penalty for cutting the 2nd chicane and gaining position (thats why your 9th)

Chicken_pop_pops is being decided on what penalty to be given, due to corner cutting, and dangerous blocking
