There was a monsoon but the hp penalties certainly made a difference.

As they should :D as long as a driver on maximum penalty is fighting for mid field it is doing its job :D

We are trying to get together to have some races to test it as soon as we can :D

:D:D:D:DThere isn't a max penalty so eventually a fast driver will be near the back. No driving technique can make up for a lack of horsepower but it was interesting racing in the mid pack with 3 other people though.:D:D:D:D

Once they are off the podium, they are reset though, don't they?

You get 10hp back if you finish 5th and back. So I have -10hp now since I had -20hp and finished 5th.

So you were 2nd highest on reduction? at Monza? Correct?

What car are you in?

I had -20 in BRZ, Karsten -10 in Lexus, Skeng -30 in RX-7.
I was running 4th-5th, Karsten was up ahead of us in 3rd and Skeng was in 8th I think. Then the monsoon came and it got a little more interesting. The penalties had a bigger effect than they usually would since it was Monza.

Sounds like they are doing their job, Monza is a harsh track for a power reduction penalty, but it doesn't sound to me to be too over powering, want to get the test done asap, but getting enough of my test drivers together at once is proving difficult at the moment as things are getting busier and busier in the FGTA :D

Yea they even out the field pretty good. I'm sure I'll complain about them a few times :) but I beat myself today at Monza, should of had 2nd.
 
Such bad luck for logic pitting and putting on the wrong tires , at that point the softs are too cold and will never heat up I think .

Even though it says 0 pct is is still slippery , I remember that from Suzuka in season 1

Dont know what im gonna do, as i should have been at least 2nd today i reckon.
I couldnt drive the gara in the dry in season 1 and cant seem to manage the lexus in the wet now, just have to go so slow in the rain i cant understand why i have to go so so slow. Had a nice start and first 25 laps with 1st 10 laps with both Ekke and Karsten and felt that with Ekke just a ahead i could push and get past when i needed to, as he and karsten in 3rd were both down on Hp. Then lap 25 the rain started and i just eased off the pace a tad , 2nd stop was due on lap 28 so thought new softs were good for the wet track whih it was just starting to get, i thought good timing, after 2 laps on new softs i spun , and realised that since i changed to auto gear change for this race i had no reverse gear and had to pull the gear flipper, but that gave me reverse for 1 second only, then it went back to 1st gear , and i was just stuck with the bonnet into the barrier going crazy trying to find a button anywhere that would reverse me Lol, and that was the end for me , after that i just could not drive the car without it crashing, probably going too fast , but seemed that i had to go so so slow even when rain was at 30% and i just couldnt go that slow. But anyway really enjoyed it at the front while it lasted . I guess at some point all you guys will have no power left and i will have full power then i might even win if all goes well Lol. well done to Ekke and podiums, and amazing drive for those with bad power reductions as well .

Took me awhile to get used to reverse on the T500, if you haven't reassigned the buttons it should still be under triangle, if not using manual just have to keep downshifting then you should find it but I kept up shifting back to 1st out if habit.

Unlucky tho.

Shame I was so many laps down as I was running pretty well in the rain. Only pitted twice and was running without spinning on IWs even on 100% at a decent pace.
 
I'm eager to make points, if there's no complains in the next hours i'll close the matter.

I guess the standings will start to look interesting by next week! :)
 
I had a bit of time on my hands tonight so I took a couple of race pictures from Monza.

skeng almost catching me lol :P

soon i'll start uploading the video to youtube! :) no highlights from drivers again... so i did my best lol
 
I'm bummed I had to pull out from the series. I was really looking forward to the championship battle between skeng Oz and I. Perhaps next season we could run it a few hours later or maybe on the weekend?
 
@azidahaka Great video as usual. Did miss when logic spun and i regained my 1st position, my own fault not reporting to you :)

@Stephen Vann Was worried about you gonna destroy my chances of my first win :) Really nice driving until you lost it, then i felt little sad when lapping you 2-3 times :(
You have done some real improvements since first season, keep up the good work 👍

Yes Ekke i felt sad too seeing you go past many times lol, i havent had chance to watch the replay , what was the wet lap times compared with the dry ? just thinking that i dont think i slow down enough, and the lexus just seems much worse than the gara did in the wet , but maybe that the lexus engine never screams and just burbles and makes you feel like you are going slower ?
