I still don't think Daytona should be included in the season calendar after having actually driven a number of laps with the SuperGT cars earlier on in the month, but we'll find out if the track is any good during this race.

I should be online for most of the afternoon tomorrow.
 
I actually think you have your wish Arkano, the pitstop seems bugged Car gets reset on entry and there is no chance the first car (me as the host) can select tyres in time (if Im going to change compound during the race)

But lets test it, it got some votes. I know a lot of the guys changed their mind about it. So I really think Cape Ring will replace it.

But for the race tomorrow, use pit exit 2 (around the first corner on the inside of the barriers) No need to create a stupid situation. I think we will have some issues there anyway with a lot of slipstream into corner 1

Also when starting a race we are actually not horizontal so spinning will make your car slide. So be careful.

In my opinion to much of a buggy track to have on our calender.. And that beside its the only track I can drive 50% of it with one hand on the wheel.. bloody boring if you ask me!!
 
I suggest Monaco to replace Daytona. Monaco is a real challenge hard to overtake needs alot of skills ( can't drive with one hand ) !

We all like Monaco and it got removed mainly because of two things, the track with 12 or more cars online lagged a lot. Also a innocent bump could actually ruin someone else's race. And to top it off, if we are a full room and the guy get into the room as last will get the same problem I get as the host on Daytona, The car comes to as stop before you could change compound and press OK on the pop up pit menu. So it takes no time to lose a second for this guy.

The Cape Ring track is a totally different track than the rest of our calender and gives a lot of challenges. Before I tested it probably I didn't like it much, but after practising it before last weekend and raced there I had a blast.

Going to Cape Ring with no practice will make the track pretty hard, as I said it do have some other challenges than the rest of the tracks.

We do Fuji as our start of the season, we got a lot of new guys and without saying the new guys don't know how to drive I will say it could prove some need to adjust their driving in a crowd. Fuji have big run off places so if something happens it will take a lot more to ruin someone's race. Than in let's say Monaco.
 
I believe the only saving grace for Daytona will be the insane slipstreaming, it should hopefully cause a close race like Fuji does.

I think it will be a great race at Daytona, offcourse if everybody don't mess up in the first corner. its tricky whit a alot of cars. some will brake soon others late.

I also want to ask you guys to use the small left pit exit (stay left of the wall). Don't go on track before the first corner.
 
unfortunately i cannot join the last pre-season race again today.. my guest leaves early in the morning tomorrow, so from tomorrow i will be back online again!, i miss racing with u guys.

i'm really looking forward to fuji with the petronas, should be a great and close race..

thank god for preseason races or else i would of lose a lot of points ..
 
When I get online later I'd like one of you to explain this pit exit that you want us to use
 
i am practise a whole time now. to save some tyrewear, it don't work. 8 laps and my meds are done. How long does this race take?
 
I'll be on in maybe an hour or so, just spent the last 40 minutes or so talking to the bank and I've got a couple of other things I need to finish up quickly before I hop online for some practice before the race.
 
I mean in pre season race ;-]

well there is only one race to go i think, you do a half race then?




How many laps on daytona erik?



and my tyre problem is gone. I was driving whitout ABS :ill: thx Adam :sly:
i disallowed ABS by mistake in the room settings.
 
Race went much better than I expected, if it wasn't for the two mistakes I made I could have probably beaten Anatasis, but there you go :sly:

Just please let's not have a race at Daytona again :lol:
 
So how was the racing feeling. I didn't notice anyone lagging. I just hope this fixed ownership will make the championship lag free :)
 
Aside from a few hiccups at the start, there was no lag for me. Although I did spend just about all of the race on my own after the first round of pit-stops at lap 10.
 
Seems i am the only one who likes this track. and enjoyed the race. Still i am dissapointed whit the result. i really believe i had the car to challenge Immortal. really true.

first start i was in 4th were i wanted to be, close to immortal/falcon/erik. but after the restart i was a bit stuck behind anastasis & erik. i tryed to much and did span out on a place were i never make mistakes whit a good balanced car. a half lap down i had to work me through the traffic. Those NSX-guys were hard to pass when i could't use my tyres at 100%. already at lap 13 my tyres were already gone. to soon, and did a donut. I had to come in. i was not sure i could make it to the end now whit a 2stop. i did a solid consistent 2nd stint whit put me back at the top. still i had a massive gap towards Erik, and to my suprise could close the gap very fast. But still unsure i did make it. Right on the final lap i wanted to push a bit harder to get Erik but at that same moment my tyres were just empty couldn't even hold the car on the banking. Fuel was perfectly used. for the guys who thought i would not make it.... well i almost did but becaus of the tyres.

well podium was a minimum today, and i lost it.


I vote for this track , not Cape ring.

I saw you came back there, so my plan was to save tyres so yes you gained on me, but when I had one lap left I could increase the pace.. since I saved them I could do it :) You had pushed for some laps at this time.. didn't count. The new tyre wear really suits me. I can go a bit Jenson if I have to :)
