The Caterham Cup - FinishedPS4

[Hun200kmh]

Everybody crashed John, the first few corners are hilarious to watch!

 

[Napalm_LT]

I am guilty for all that mess, Panteon went wide at first corner and I tried to move inside. Touched him a bit and he went off so I moved to the right and lifted to wait him, but somebody drove into me and we got our biggest crash ever. Sorry.

BTW I had very interesting start with Jag . Started from last row, someone ahead missed start a bit and I tried to pass by right side, but lost back and moved straight in to the pits . Did a pit stop of course

 

[Pantheons]

Ah i wondered who that was on the first Silverstone corner lol. Being (random) P1 with the herd behind, at corner 1, is a bit scary. Thinking about it after, i should have dived for the inside on corner 1, would have been safer. Still enjoyed it (and the Jags) immensely though. Struggled, as always, on Nurburgring. Tried hard not to cause any crashes.

Struggled, as always, on Nurburgring ring.

You wouldn't be too keen on an all Nordschleife series then?

I am guilty for all that mess

That's it! You're banned until next Monday.


Back to some normality next week at Oschersleben - which @Hun200kmh tells me is his favourite track.

I think you have forgotten to mention one of our rules - practice for top 3 championship drivers is banned, except 1 hour practice at pre race lobby

Yeah right ... I HATE that track is more like it!

Top 3? Make that a top 5 rule!

Results from the Tribute Night Races

At the second race there must have been a bug or so because the time table says Pantheon in first place although it must say fifth place

One other odd thing is that the Nurburgring table shows a 8:35,424 as my best lap time. However, if you add up the splits the laptime achieved is 8:33,665. Could it be that your table shows best splits even if they are from different laps?

@Carmig16
Have a look at page 1
Any Questions ask paul ( @IfAndOr )
He's our hostess and makes a cracking job of it

Great shots. Shame the Le Mans cars all look the same. Ive never seen a car fly that high!!

 

[richroo]

Oh i see now i didn't know we were playing toss the lotus!!

 

[IfAndOr]

I've never seen a car fly that high!!

Well Silverstone is an old airstrip so it's an ideal place to fly a Lotus.

 

[Napalm_LT]

What it could be?

EDIT 2: WOW, it is beautiful. Isn’t it?

EDIT 3: disappointments:
1 - yellow center strip is a bit of center
2 - suede is glued to the rim instead of being sewn
3 - I don’t have PC and can’t update drivers - not all buttons work as they should and don’t know if the wheel itself work properly. Hope my sone will com for Eastern and get me a laptop.

So I don’t know yet if I am happy with purchase.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Wow ... now that's a proper wheel, congrats, may it provide you many great races! 👍

 

[IfAndOr]

That's a lot of boxes for just one wheel. And that's not including the peddles.

1 - yellow center strip is a bit off center
2 - suede is glued to the rim instead of being sewn

It sounds like a cheap old thing you've bought there.

You've now got more buttons than most of us put together. A very nice piece of kit Napalm.

All components looks and feels premium but the rim itself - doesn’t. I would say T300 Alcantara rim I liked more when it was new.

That was comical. Much of it is spot on.

I wasn't sure whether to include Oschersleben this series because it is an odd circuit, but we haven't used it for a while so I thought "What the heck, why not stick it in directly after Bannochbrae".
(Although there's been a slight interlude)

It might actually suit the Catterhams, especially the Seven.

I've been enjoying it in practice, a good challenge. I believe @Hun200kmh isn't a fan though, probably for similar reasons to the video

 

[Don Mejillone]

If your new steering wheel does not suit you NAP, you can just send it to me ! 👍

(Have fun with your new beautiful wheel )

Thanks for that brilliant video, it's an amazingly accurate account of what I feel during an entire lap around that ... ahem ... track!

 

[Pantheons]

Just starting to enjoy oschersleben, but dont read much into that, in the 300 started at 1:38sec now managing a few 1:29's, just trying to work on consistency so i dont kill everyone haha. Im using time trial a lot as its the only thing that keeps my best times and gives me a goal. Shame theres no personal best ghost car which would have been nice to help improve.

@Napalm_LT lovely gear, hope you love it, great to hear your feedback once you've hammered it. Can you send it back if you're not happy? Im sure one of those switches is a rocket launcher!!

Overall I am happy, but as I said - rim is a bit of disappointment for me. It was difficult to get used to a 27 cm F1 rim after 4 years with 30 cm T300 rim and now this 32 cm rim feels huge . And the force of DD1 with F1 is much, much stronger that T300. I had only 30 min. test run yesterday with new wheel but FFB felt weak. I don't know it is due to bigger size rim or because drivers isn't updated.

 

[Pantheons]

Thanks guys for the introduction to Daytona Road Course and the JS PL Judd last night. No warning, straight in lol, mental!! I thought I was on the wrong part of the course to start with, but no that little bendy path WAS the course. Going to race that one again.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Yes great fun yesterday trying car/track combos all over the place. It was the second night I did this, two nights ago, with Paul, I tried new stuff myself (we did RX cars in a "Mojave" track, and we drove KTMs up the Riviera roads like if we had stolen them in Monaco from the Grimaldi family ).

However, I found my new Nemesis.

I am very disapointed your races . My local time +2 hours so in the future please start them few hours earlier

Ah the new handicap system. The next series will just be set at Cadwell Park.

Actually you're safe, Cadwell can only have a maximum of 12 cars.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Well I left that track like a Terminator leaving a police station.

Napalm, these Easter weekend days are "Family heavy" for me so my gaming egoist fun can only happen a bit late, or else . I'm sure we'll meet soon, very curious on your fanatec experience!

Happy Easter everybody
