WEC S2, R9, Nurburgring GP/F Finale!

[GTPL_Plotnik]

Yes, of course

 

[jonnyb1990]

Just 'cause I don't think this has been discussed yet. Track limits around Monza are as follows: Chicanes 1 and 2 and Lesmo 2 obey the white line/red & white curbing rule as used normally; however for the entire Ascari Chicane, the track limits are defined by the gravel either side. If you exceed these limits (including kicking up dirt at Ascari) three times in three laps, you will be penalised.

Here is a video for reference:

30 mins till lobby opens

My target is to finish ahead of chozza, so I can leap ahead in the standings.

Lobby is now open for the monza race

Madrid highlights

​

And well done to everyone who attended monza, was a fantastic race!!!!

 

[Ninners]

Was fantastic indeed, me, you jonny and chozza were engaged in a race long battle, separated by our different fuel strategies, once we were all done, memto lead by under 10s from me, and I was 3s ahead of jonny, memto lost it at Ascari and that held me up in the process, putting jonny on my bumper, I really thought it was over, but defended well and kept the position for a couple more laps before he made his move, but amazingly he made a mistake, granting me a comfortable buffer of 2seconds, which I managed to the end, the top 4 were covered by less than 20seconds!

Also congratulations to jonnyb1990, our overall champion!

 

[RichyB28]

Brilliant racing in GTE lads, got my 1st long awaited win of this season

 

[jonnyb1990]

Have a feeling most of that will be going in the highlight video heh. Your video makes that wobble look a lot more impressive then I remember it being lol, I was just so desperate to get all the speed I could so I could hold you off to sector 2 and just overcooked it the tiniest amount. Was a fantastic race though.

Recording that video was tricky, I wanted to switch to your view while holding my phone, just about did, I could have used my Samsung, but I chose my BlackBerry since it was closer to me, eagle eyed viewers may notice that I had a massive moment off Ascari just before jonny went off, I had 100 degrees of lock on to save that, also for the first time that I've noticed, my BMW is a very good flame-thrower, must be so distracting.

Shame I wouldn't be able to come back and fight for fourth in the standings

Intense GTE fighting:

Intense GTE fighting:

That looks excellent!

 

[Ninners]

The whole was excellent, loads of battles in both classes throughout the race, you and Richy were dicing at the end for the win, but then you ran out of fuel, looked like you were the quickest all day, just that had to make more stops I think. GTE Championship is going to be a cracker to see the outcome.

I lost at least thirty seconds through driver error during the race, and I think I just realised something... Did I even do forty minutes on Mediums?!? I think I did, not sure. But yeah, if I hadn't lost thirty seconds through my mistakes I could have had the extra fuel stop, I was only a couple of seconds back from Richy in the end.

You did 44 mins on meds

You did 44 mins on meds

Okay, that's a relief. I bet I'll be last post-stewarding. I was, by my own admission, making some dodgy errors on Sunday, particularly around other drivers.

 

[Ninners]

How do you guys get the race replay files onto your laptop because I'm interested in moving some files over.

Do you mean to transfer to another playstation or so that you can make a video? The former requires just a memory stick, the latter you'll need to get some video capture hardware, I'd recommend the Hauppauge! box but it is quite expensive.

 

[Ninners]

Got it.

 

[jonnyb1990]

Just a little something for those wondering what to do until Season 3

 

[memto89]

Points for Monza

Glad to say no one got a penalty in the race, some where inches away but never crossed the line

The championship is now coming down to the last race in GTE!!!

Hmm group C, just hope there's no peogeot 905 around

 

[memto89]

Hmm geoup C, just hope there's no peogeot 905 around

lol there will not be... should be a pretty good hard core series

 

[Osr20_L]

jeje, was refering to the 905 "C" class, not the 908

 

[memto89]

jeje, was refering to the 905 "C" class, not the 908

I know which car your on about lol it didn't fit with the series

 

[Ninners]

Looking foward to Nurb as the 2 usual suspects won't be racing in LMP1 so I'm looking to try and take another win to have a decent chance of getting 3rd in the standings, very tall order though.

Season 3? I'll be there in May.

 

[Ninners]

Season 3 will start in March on GT6, but I hope you can join in soon if your PS3 is fixed.
