Another great race today, thanks to everyone who put it together. @PASM that was so intense, too bad you had to make that last stop.

RACECAR · May 2, 2020

So as opposed to last week where I just got irrationally frustrated with even the slightest mistake and it snowballed, this time was far better managed. I feel like I was way more aware of what I was doing and thinking more often before I made a pass, especially in one incident ahead of me (No names but it was abit..spicy). Only had some close calls and two incidents in the same corner after the uphill double-right hander (With the same car but can't recall who) but apart from that, I felt like overall it was way better. Finished higher obviously because I didn't do a dum-dum on fuel nor spun it like a moron, but it was overall a much better race. GT cars were pretty good, some close calls as I wasn't sure what line some of you were taking but not too bad.

Good race, looking forward to the next one and hope to continue keeping my habit of throwing it away strictly to Dirt Rally 2.0 :lol:

jammy21 · May 3, 2020

Thanks again for fun race. I tried different strategy this time and it was bad one. I did too much fuel saving on first stint and lost too much time, but it was fun to try.

Here's my driver change - went close to given time zone - ended when time left 30min 50s

Did you forget the driver change time zone 30 - 90 min :confused:

Rikson · May 3, 2020

Wow what a race....very intense,especially the first stint.Trying to keep Bart's slip (that sounds weird :lol:

),pure racing,no fuel saving.
Didn't had a strategy,untill I noticed Bart and Stiggy ran 3 and 2 laps more then me on 1 tank.
Figured Jammy did the same,cause despite he is faster then me the gap stayed the same.
Only mistake I made was during the pitstop at the end of the race,when I pushed the cross button without fuelling,so had to make 2 stops in a row.
Congratz Stiggy and Phil,good job.
And hats off for all the GT ,excellent awareness of the faster cars. (At least in my experience)
Good job all :bowdown:

I really enjoyed last nights race. My first time in a multi-class race where I am in the faster class. I tried my best to choose suitable places to overtake the GT's. I seemed to catch them most often in sector 2!

Anyway, here's my 5 minute stop:

oink83 · May 3, 2020

5 minute stop - not sure why the screen is black in the picture but luckily all the HUD has shown up :scared:

Thanks for the race everyone, had a lot of fun and was really quite nervous as this was the first time racing actual people for at least a year or so. I knew I could drive the car round the track fast enough and consistently but hadn't had any practice with other people around so was a little tentative, but warmed up to it after a few laps. Looking forward to getting involved in a few more races soon. Great to and fro battle @EDK we were on opposite strategies and was great fun right to the last lap!

You were realy fast but burned alot of fuel to nice to race with you

Yeah, and you, it was good fun - I was basically doing no fuel saving as you might have guessed! It was mostly 9 lap stints but I was only putting in 90% each time so the car was lighter and slightly shorter stops.

TripleN81 · May 3, 2020

Hi all.
Thank you for a nice event.
And congrats to class winners and podium finishers. :cheers:

Special mentioning to @EDK and @PASM for planning and hosting Qs and races.👍

It was very fun to try out a longer race. More of this please. :dopey:

But I was very nervous during the first stint. So sorry to any GT drivers who felt it got a bit iffy during the first couple of parses from my side. :nervous:

It wasn't all clean driving on my part, and my attempt to keep up the the lead pack didn't pan out - despite I was on the Push-Max-strategi 16 lap stint plan. :boggled:

So I seemed to end up in the gaps, so for my part, mostly a "lonely" race.
But had a great time none the less.

Did you forget the driver change time zone 30 - 90 min

Well, forgot :rolleyes:

.
I messed up my own planning and thereby lost focus on the time frame/deadline. :banghead:

So yes, you could say that I forgot about it. :ouch:

At the planned time of the driver change, I got trigger happy and just pressed for tire change as soon as I could. :banghead:

so I went on, with the intent to come up with a plan on the way.
Sadly I was to concentrated on my original plan and driving that I forgot about the deadline.🤬 :guilty:

So when entered for my final pitstop I was on my target - minus the driver change. It was 3:30 too late. Face slapped myself at that point. :lol:

So, I really need a race engineer...

I ran 14 laps with 5% left

richroo · May 3, 2020

Thanks again guys for putting these events on :bowdown:

Was confused at the start as i was put in with the lmp's , waited for my place but found order slightly out ?
started from last but made up a few places , unfortunately i touched the grass span then spent the rest of the race trying to catch up .. lonely race for me . excellent racing all hope we can do it again...
Catch u soon :cheers:

Philtaylor17 · May 3, 2020

Well that was massive fun - thankyou guys @PASM @EDK for organizing!

Congrats @Mini Stiggy @PASM @Rikson @EDK @oink83 and everyone, It shows the high standard of WRS drivers when a 2 hour race with different classes can be so clean.

I stuck to 12 lap stints but was about 10 seconds off getting the 72nd lap I was aiming for, if i hadn't been too cautious and overfueled in that last stint, plus a few other little errors i think it would have been possible. I also gave myself a fright by missing my driver change the first time and having to do it on my fourth stop :lol:
