Nope, not too late, but have you read the start procedure? Go ahead and join. 👍

Watching livestream on my phone. Can't race tonight but it so cool that I can watch. Thanks Bart.

 

[jammy21]

Thank you. You were too fast for me. I tried my best to keep up with you, but you just run away from me. Great race.
Ah same happened now in NA race. Again great race.
All three races (WW, EU and NA) were lot of fun. I enjoyed a lot to drive BMW in all races.
Thank you WRS

Keep your eyes primed on this forum. There may be something in the pipeline in the near future

As for the EU race, I had a great battle with Joel! I was driving like mad to keep up with him after he passed Shane and I around the outside of the first chicane. Had a battle with Shane while still trying to keep touch with Joel. We swapped places a couple of times. We were still close when we encountered the first of the Vipers. I overcooked my overtake on Danny and Kjeld and Joel could come back. After the pit I felt more comfortable on the new grippy tires and could stretch the lead a bit after I overtook Joel.

Great race

For a while there it was looking like I'd have to switch to the BMW, because we had a ton of Vipers. Then Bart, Joel, Pekka, and even @LVracerGT showed up and threw down in the V12.

Getting to thrash the Viper around and be in front of Drew for about 12sec was awesome.

@PASM again great hosting and a great win. Super fast laptime to.

Great win @Friday_GTRP bummer to run out of gas stupid mistake coming in to the pit gave you the lead and after that you ware gone when i ran out of gas in arnage i was sitting in my seat jumping the car forward. LOL.

Diddent notits who got 2 place, but big congrats on that

Congrats to all podiums. Another great and intense race.

I'm more then ready for a two car battle again. It was the best ever and reslistic setup. Perfect executet

Stupid wheel decides to recalibrate twice causing both my spins only had the thing 2 months and it's constantly happening and ruining races

What wheel is it @skyline1683 ? Was realy looking for a close race with you so i'm sad you had to leave

What wheel is it @skyline1683 ? Was realy looking for a close race with you so i'm sad you had to leave

Fanatec club sport with the F1 wheel it's really weird thou it's fully up to date on its software and seems to just recalibrate randomly in middle of races may have to send it back and use my old wheel untill it's solved got a very important race coming up and can't afford to lose time with wheel issues

 

[jammy21]

@skyline1683 Are you using USB plug? You might try to change USB plug. To me it helps. I was using USB hub and then I put my wheel USB direct connect to PS3.

It sounds wierd that it calibrate in race. A good idea to return it to the dealer. I'm on my 3 T500RS it is a great wheel but lots of faults on them. Funny enogh i cant seem to kill my old G27. It just keeps going one. I'm only waiting for my T500RS to brake down again and get my mony back and then i will by a new G27. Its not as nice to tuch and the forcefeedback is better, but G27 is faster in my opinion.

 

[Kjeld Lund]

@skyline1683 Btw. It lookes like a great wheel. Quite expensive compaierd with T500.

It was but I'm worth it lol

 

[Kjeld Lund]

It was but I'm worth it lol

What does it cost in the UK?

 

[skyline1683]

Il have to ask the ball and chain for exact amount as it was a present but I know it was over £600 with delivery cost and I paid a extra 200 for the f1 wheel

Wau was the 600 with the BMW wheel? Or just the base and pedals

Yeah 600 with bmw wheel I just liked the f1 wheel so I treated myself to that .

Had 2 epic races, i love le mans but i hated the BMW, anyway on saturday it was a great battle between me and @Animera for the LMP win, unfortunately @jammy21 fell off the train @ Porsche curves. I know for sure we could have a 3 way battle for the win if that didn't happen.

Blasting down the viper field was a treat that made it really exciting, where you have to judge especially in the corners how and when you put it next to a viper. Had a smile from ear to ear every time Ian and me cleared the vipers.

Since i don't like the BMW i decided to run the viper in the EU race. After a couple off freeze ups (......) i had to start 9th, last of the vipers.

I think in lap 3 i was closing in on @skyline1683 and @Kjeld Lund (2 seconds) and just passed @RedPartyhat i made a mistake at mulsanne corner so the gap was 5 seconds. Lap 4 or lap 5 Steve's wheel decided to calibrate, that was really unlucky. So @Kjeld Lund and i were battling where i just could hang on to his rear bumper.

LMP's were closing for the first time on the run to Arnage, @PASM made a mistake passing us, so on the run from Arnage to porsche curves there was a crowd off 2 vipers and 3 BMW's sharing the track.

When we went to the pits i managed to pass @Kjeld Lund because he ran wide, but i pressed the gas and didn't knew how much fuel i would get ..... it was not enough so in lap 12 i started to lift off at places and in lap 13 i was really cruising to the line, managed to get to ford chicane and my gas tank was bone dry ....

Very happy to take the win, thanks to WRS for organising.

We should have tracked helmet colors for this race. Great pics!

 

[alexamenos]

Very nice pics @Gravitron There's actually picture in there of me passing @PASM...that's a bit like catching a picture of a flying saucer, or maybe Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. I think I'll save that one.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

You ran great race Stephen. I was impressed by your speed and how long it took Bart to get by you.

 

[LVracerGT]

Thanks for letting me race with you guys last night. Last minute setup trying to be competitive just didn't work out. Pretty sure I went the wrong way on the diff, I had really bad snap oversteer on throttle, spun twice and was just off pace.

Great racing from my perspective, clean and respectful. I'll be aiming to join as much as I can in the future. Congrats to the winners!

You're welcome. You did great considering the very tough car, having to start a tune from scratch and a long track to learn the details of in the BMW. Welcome to WRS!

 

[Gravitron]

Millions of results, I don't even know where to begin.

Let's start with @jammy21 and @alexamenos who both did 2 races that were 0.2 and 0.3 different OVER THE COURSE OF AN HOUR. IN THE BMW. This is some voodoo stuff, I swear.

Then congrats (as usual) to Mr @PASM, the combo-creator.

And to @Friday_GTRP for a last-to-first win in the Vipers in EU, and to @Bleached for the fastest win (NA) in a Viper! (there may be a bit too much in this post )

And then another 2 👍 to @jammy21 for two more 2nd-places 👍, and a to @GTPGhost, @RedPartyhat, @LittlePaul78, @alexamenos and @Masterhec for podiums in their respective classes.

2nd-most impressive to Jammy and Stephen's crazy consistency (and improvement in later races) was that all races were balanced in terms of classes. You guys rock!!

 

[Gravitron]

OK, results have been amended above. Please let us know if you see any other issues.
