FRL ~ ToCA14 - Spurgy, Yera, ECM, Audi Champions!

[CrazyJohn]

could we not do something like a "top X positions reversed", so top 6 reversed or something, for future seasons?

I disagree with that. While it may cause incidents, it is a chance for some slower people to shine. I don't think many of us want the same top 5 every race.

If the grid was made by the previous race results then @Spurgy 777 would have won every race.

True. Or do top X reverse for race 2 and full reverse for race 3, I dunno, full reverse both races does feel excessive.

 

[CrazyJohn]

I thought race 2 was reversed top 12?

 

[Andil]

Think it's meant to be but don't know if it actually is/was, and anyway with 14-16 on the grid that may as well be a full reverse grid anyway!

I like the reverse grid as it did happen to get my best result of season at Brands but it does cause lap one drama.
I'm mainly 2 secs of the leader Lap time wise so my breaking points are lot earlier than I know/should be. So even if I do start P1-P3 on race 2 I always end up at the back by the end of the first lap
due to somebody unintentionally bumping me off at one of the breaking points.

That's just me though and I know I'm well off the pace, having to get good and all that .

I just have no setup where as the majority seem to have very tried & tested for each track etc .
Funny enough I ran default at Brands ! Best points haul I had

 

[CrazyJohn]

The two wins I got this season were both on race 3, where the fastest drivers were at the back of the pack. I got the lead as I had some very good starts and avoided any incident possible.

I didn't express my opinion on this matter so here it is:

I think this reversed grid should remain. It gives slower people the chance to shine and teaches the faster ones to be more patient (not referring to anyone here, just saying) when they have to cope with the slower ones.

Sadly, at the end of this season I will be leaving Furi Auto Sports as they will be continuing with the VW Scirocco and this car is not suited to me.
Alex and Joe seem to have the setup just right for a DS4 but not for me on a wheel.

Due to an impending shoulder operation, I'm uncertain if I will be taking part in ToCA 15.

My thanks to Alex and Joe for their help with setups and pointing me in the right direction.

Provisionally including a drop I think I am 1 to 3 pts ahead of you now by the way.

God damn it.

Well there are two race days left. Next track is a Maggiore layout so my pace should be good there.

It's not, it's Blue Moon Infield A

I now realize that my mistake was defending on Nin instead of trying to hold 3rd. Had I not been slower trying to keep him behind me you wouldn't have caught us.

Yeah overall I'd say you were around 0.3 a lap quicker until you started battling amd I'd gain around 0.4 a lap as a result.

 

[CrazyJohn]

Blue Moon Infield A

Even better.

I... actually ran my fastest lap of the weekend in the middle of that.

That's the final final version, no more livery changes.

He lied...

 

[GTPorsche]

After having lost the car in NYC before it was to be shipped, P.A.R.T. have now recovered it and are now ready to race in the remainder of the season. Next time I won't have a photoshoot done in Red Hook.
