b

I.think it could be a good chance for you to make a.few kms
 
Sorry guys I have an issue with my Cronusmax so can't get my Fanatec wheel to work. I will keep trying but at the moment it doesn't look like I will be able to make it tonight.
 
Success! I had updated the driver and firmware to a beta version earlier today. Rolled back to an older version and all seems fine! I've done zero practice however!

Edit: False alarm. Just tried in game and it's a little funky. Will have to sort it out over the next week and hopefully be back next week.
 
After watching the live stream , I can only say it was a GOOD thing that I didn`t race , as I practised on the wrong Imola track circuit , I only know 1 Imola :) but the track you raced on looked fun though :)

edit. omg , could see that tractioncontrol was used , other aids that are allowed ?

Who the xuck were you fighting 2nd to last lap??? -since you thought you had the right to get in the way of drivers lapping you :-(
Got me down from a lucky 4th to a sad 6th!! (Being annoyed made me even change it to a 7th)

Stupedsean I'm sorry if I was any risc to you on the straight for the very last finish line -as you passed me! I more or less took it as my job was already done. That was too stupid of me.
Well, at least I'd pay you by "handing over" my 6th...
:-( !
 
Some race review, points and my Gf's impression for the day.

Some really hard race here for my Audi, and worst of all i got all kinds of damages in first lap carnages as usual... What was the worst was being totally outgunned on the straights :P

Anyway, i can't say i'm happy about races and drivers this week too... In race 1 a driver forgot to start at all creating a huge mess of cars flipping around; not sure but i guess @hasslemoff ? Beside that i managed to recover a bit and end in 6th from the usual handicap start due to crashes...

Race 2 again i was sent out and had tto restart the race from last at turn one... i was pretty lucky that crashes everywhere allowed me to recover some positions and end up in 8th after a nice battle with @Garykavanagh ... sadly i made 1 mistake that allowed him to catch him and another one last lap while i was drafting him... But i had too much aero damage to be able to do any better....

Concerning Race 2, i'm not sure hwta happened in the front lines that made almost all the group stop, but again a few guys have been to optimistic in their T1 entries and braking.

@MarcoGT5 sorry i couldn't avoid you there


Standings after 2 races:

Girlfriend impression (basically first time she saw me online racing in a serie said after 2 consecutive T1 pileups with me restarting from last)

"Why are all driving so badly around? Do You even train for this?"


Well i told her usually everything is smooth and without contacts, but to be honest so far in this serie it was a lie :D

But in Race 2 she did enjoy the battle with sean so she had a better understanding of why i spent time on this lol

Hahaha I couldn't believe I gained a position. I assumed I was lapping some1:lol:
 
Woah no clue what happened at the spreadsheet O_o i'll have to rework it tomorrow for it's all messed up for some reasons
 
Had good fun in both races, @Garykavanagh had a great time trying to get around you in race 2, until I binned it of course.

The starts were still a bit cluttered and at the front we were going pretty slow through the 1st turn on race 2, so I could see why there might have been some issues further back. I think we have to be even more respectful and mindful in T1 cause it's easy to get carried away looking for positions.

I wasn't trying to get in the way of anyone, nor did I think I had the right to get in the way of them. I don't remember any contact between us. I'm a controller user and not the fastest of people so I need to concentrate quite a bit to drive cleanly. When I have a fast person coming up behind me I need to plan to move over/let them pass me safely through their speed. I was also trying to keep my pace up at the same time to help improve my consistency.

You being annoyed and dropping a further place is nothing to do with me. Plus you at least scored some points.

Sorry if I got in the way of anyone, but I wasn't trying to intentionally.

Haha I had to protect my line a lot. Yes definitely we need to give people more space on the first lap. Race 1i got spun 1st chicane and race 2 @buybon355 came across and put me into a wall before we even go to the first chicane

Now see , that remark was funny :lol:
 
16:38-16:45 someone gave me a pit manoeuvre out of 3rd on the 1st lap :banghead:

Checked to be sure. Can't show you my replay atm. First i gotta figure how to do so...
BUT that would be my pretty Ferrari -that you pushed your english McL into -and damaged...
I was on your innerside all the way to 3rd. I couldn't ove further to the side. Even clipped the dangerous bumps. From my view you clearly took my line.
If you still desagree, I will of cause as fast as possible bring my replay to let you see the truth(...?)

---
...Nevertheless I still handed you that 6th ( :irked: ) remember? I figure you owe me. Maybe you'll stay behind my at Mugello to make it up? :gtpflag:
Anyway you just keep laughing here ( ok, I do understand :lol: ... ) -it's just ...up 'til now I've NEVER done such a stupid stunt in my life!!! ( -this goes of cause alone for my sim-racing-life -to be fair :D ). I really got a hard time trying to see what's funny in this :banghead: - ...lol ;)

I do not take that 7th out on you at all. Sorry if that was unclear.
Regarding on how you do control your car (by controller) I got to say it's your buissness alone. All drivers should drive clean fair and of cause be aware if other drivers are close. And so you do for all I know.

My complain is about how you late and suddently changed your line into the chicane on back-straight causing me to ease off.
Situation was as we were approaching you took inside lane. Going faster than you, of cause I got the impression that you'd be the one to ease of. Also I believe rule says to avoid delaying drivers lapping. It therefor made sense to me. But instead you last second changed into the outside forcing me to breake off. ...that's my complain

The fact that I cut, spun and got a 5 sec penalty as I tried to go for an overtake (or make a pass on-...) down the straight I need to blame on my self :banghead:
Still you had a part I'd say.

I'm well aware I could have keept my 4th if I had not been that unpatienced (and stupid too :scared: )


Btw: Regarding that controller: Have you tried to consult AC forum for advice? I understand there should be like almost topic's reg. this -as there is lots of ways to tweak it ...? -just a thought...
 
I need also to call "TP-35". I need a comment on our incident 1st race 1st lap back-straight chicane -where we made contact.

What happened? I was on the outside, but pretty sure I gave you lots of space. It seems to me you missed your brake point? Is that correct?
