@RMan72 , sorry I hit you, when you guys all wiped out I saw @OdeFinn on my left and @Ridox2JZGTE on my right and a big grey cloud in front, by the time I saw you in there the brakes were useless, I`m glad you recuperated 👍, I got a 10 second penalty + my car drove like a truck for another 10 seconds. Was a cool race, wish I could have been in the second race.

You did well, my friend. You've got the podium. 👍

Sorry ALB no can do. I had a little go earlier too, quite hard to see those lines at speed with my eyesight

No problem, I was waiting for @OdeFinn as he got sideways in front of me on the corner and I tapped him so I was waiting for him to recover

 

[Brewguy44]

Pit strategy suggestion : 1st pit, only tires ( rear only or all ), 2nd pit ( empty fuel, fill half tank, tire ), next pits ( half tank + tire )

Aha!!! Now I know the strategy, looks like I might win the next one?!?

AS IF!!!

Well that was good lesson for me, if I had been just a little patient I would have passed all three of you, instead I fell far behind, wouldn`t have won but I would have been closer to you all at the end.

You did well, my friend. You've got the podium. 👍

Thanks, I`m not the fastest but I`m trying hard to cut my mistakes to a minimum, just doing this has improved my race standings, now I`ll have to work on keeping my cool under pressure . Enjoy the second race guys 👍, gotta go customers are coming in.

I don't know what the heck happened. OdeFinn's car looked very smooth, but danbojte & RMan's cars kept skipping around. Literally, their car would be on the left of me, then all of a sudden the right of me! Both in front, but I never saw the car actually move in that direction. It was all of a sudden just there... That happened just as I was going to go and pit and instead I ended up spinning. I watched my rear right tire go from 4 to 1 in seconds... I got the car straight and then on the next turn it dropped to 0! Spin again...and again... Finally got into the pits and tried to gather my composure. I pull out and I'm next to BrewGuy and all of a sudden my screen went black and it said "Disconnected from Lobby Server", or something like that. I had to re-connect to the Club, re-enter the lobby and then just sitting there in the lobby waiting for the race to finish my screen went black again and said the same thing... "Disconnected from Lobby Server". WTF?!

 

[ALB123]

2 pit stops at this track would be far beyond my driving with 30 minutes of racing. I needed 3 with my testing this morning on very fast. I did break 1 lap at 35.997, but most were 36.0's & 36.1's with almost a full second of drop off.
@danbojte thank you sir!

Maybe it was 3....I might be mistaken. I couldn't even make it around the track 10 laps today before cars were jumping all over the place in front of me and then I got dropped from the server.

Is that what happen! That was weird, you just disappeared, like you found a black hole or secret short cut . I was like "Where did he go

I saw that in the first race too. TL's car was in front of me then all of a sudden zig-zag, I'm like WTF was that!!!

Yea, Me Too!!! I've gotten way better since I started racing with you guys. Thanks 👍

It's been a lotta fun doing this with all of you, can't wait to see what the next one will be!?! 👍

 

[ALB123]

I was wondering what it must have looked like to you... Sorry about that. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble. I just don't know why your car and OdeFinn's car looked so smooth and normal, I mean there is a tiny amount of jitter, but nothing troublesome, but once danbojte and RMan got in front of me it was like a freakin' magic show. "Now you see me over here, now you don't because I'm now over here! TA-DA!!"

Bad day at the races for you , that`s really bad that you get disconnected, how many people were there?

No it didn't effect me at all. One second your in front of me the next your gone. POOF!!!

 

[Brewguy44]

Just 5

 

[Brewguy44]

Hey TL, Did a race with your name.

 

[TurnLeft]

Yea, Me Too!!! I've gotten way better since I started racing with you guys. Thanks

Yes I`ve noticed 👍, you can start slowing down .

I saw that in the first race too. TL's car was in front of me then all of a sudden zig-zag, I'm like WTF was that!!!

If that was the second time I was trying to pass you then it`s called a wipeout , I really missed that one , if it was at another time, it may have been my ghost .

Hey TL, Did a race with your name.

Now how did you do that ? Hey did TC make it? His nickname when we started the EAG was "Sleepy" .

 

[ALB123]

There were 5 of us.

I setup a Practice room at 5:30am because Ridox said he was getting disconnected when he would set one up...I remember seeing the clock just after 6am. I don't know how long it was after that, but next thing I know I'm waking up and I missed the first race!

EDIT: Oh, if Atom Heart Mother was the 2nd worst album you ever bought, what was the very worst?

 

[OdeFinn]

PD gods gave me good lead on second race start and was glad to have it there on end of race too.

 

[TurnLeft]

There were 5 of us.

In the first race @Ridox2JZGTE `s car would be jumpy, but all the others from my point of view were smooth, I`d like to know what happened to him, he just disappeared .

I was there, your car was there but ... , we`ll have another meet soon 👍.

Oh, if Atom Heart Mother was the 2nd worst album you ever bought, what was the very worst?

It was an album I bought called the Nihlst Stilst Band (not sure of the spelling), it was sponsored by the goverment arts department, the guys built their own instruments and recorded with them, experimental music,... sounded like a bunch of 5 year old kids playng, no beat, rhythm, harmony, counter point, and being tuned was not a prerquisit, piece of garbage and wasted goverment money (my money). as for Atom Heart, I guess if you take the same little pills they took to do the album you`ll find it amazing, I probably took the wrong color one (micro purple) .

👍 congrats my friend, wish I could have seen that one.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

I was 3rd in the 1st race, with @RMan72 and @danbojte in front with 3s gap I think when the race timer was less than 2 minutes to go, then I got sudden power outage I hit @OdeFinn pretty bad I think earlier in the race, got both front wheels damaged heavily, and had to drive slow from exit of smaller turn to just over start /finish line Could have been in front after my last pit stop, leading

Anyway, learned something, when in race, my car handling was different than in free run/practice, it was a bit sluggish and when I was near odefinn and rman72, my car was a bit slower to respond and I did see some cars skipped/jump to other places twice early in the race, one of them when odefinn slides and I couldn't move my car to avoid it in time.

Anyone saved the 1st race replay, could you please check what happen to my car ? Did I hit Odefinn ? Some snapshot would be cool too I think my car was thrown hard into the wall

My best lap was 36.0xs lap, which was overall fun race but weird handling especially on turn 1 apex.

 

[danbojte]

I think my car was thrown hard into the wall

This is exactly what I saw in the replay.

I'm so sorry for the ruined race for some of you. I have a Dream Internet connection so it seems the PD or Sony or who's ever sever, did bad for us today.

For the first race @Ridox2JZGTE 's presence could be an explanation and for the second, I don't have one.
All we can do before a race is to check that we have a NAT 2 type connection.

It can be seen accessing the room settings or simulate opening a room in Open Lobby, or exiting the game and doing an Internet Connection Test.

Other things which can be done are written here.

Entering in the Event early, will give enough time to check these problems.

The rest is the server's mercy.

P.S.: Nobody was jumping on my screen. Only Ridox was a little bit not 100% smooth but decent. The Room settings was set to Standard, despite of the proposal for Very High. Let's hope for better times. 👍

The 1st race was smooth to me, when I was close to you or @RMan72, most of the time I can see all smooth running. I had NAT 2 as well.

 

[OdeFinn]

Did I hit Odefinn

Dunno? Got some hit on, don't remember when or by who. Got pressed against wall too, or there car between me and wall too. Nothing special what crosses my news barrier, just racing. First race. My race went under bench due one extra(own stupidity) pitstop.

Second race was blessed to do hot lapping alone, except after few pitstop running after @Brewguy44 for while.
Counted bit better fuel usage and tire wear on second, quick count said 5.66666 liter per lap, but exaggerating it and totaled needed stops as 4, 9 lap stints refueling 42 liter per stop, good amount comparing tire change time, both ending at same time and back to track.
40-41 liter would be correct amount, because on finish I had fuel left for approx two laps.

Per stint 7 quick laps and entry+exit laps was good tactic on my point of view.

I filled around 50L each pit stop and usually just go to pit when my fuel gauge is on low.

Same here.

 

[OdeFinn]

NASCAR is tactic, and you need good map reader to tell when @TurnLeft.
50 liter fueling cost time, you're waiting refuel after tires have changed.

I got 5 really fast laps per stints and then times dropped bit, but if recalling right last of seven was around 36.5 fast laps were on both sides of flat 36.

I was using 45L refuel, maybe I was penalized for coming in to fast
