I have my Momo now about 2 month and I'm quite disappointed. After 3 month it is making a lot of platic noise while turning the wheel. To get the wheel right clibrated is not always easy and sometimes it takes a while. The break pedal is in the moment my big problem cause from time to time during the race it get's not back to 0. I do have all the little programm installed.

This wasn't the best experience and I'm going to exchange it. Hopfully the next will be better (not Momo).

You guys don't understand what TypeRCivic is saying. He is fighting with somebody on the same lap and then comes a faster car. He has the right to fight the position and does not have to give way right away. The faster car can use on the next straight the draft to overtake him. The problem is that those guys are not patient enough to bring them in the corner in position to overtake after the corner. No, they push and pumb into the slower car (not all of course). The whole thing is called RACING and not HOTLAPING!!!
I give TypeRCivic right, there are guys who just can't stay cool and act cool.
I even had drivers who were lap's behind me and pushed me off track and saying I'm to slow and I should shut up. That's race spirit...........

No Lotesdelere, this is not so good because you would maybe make it to the start. The only thing what is stupid is that if somebody does leave or enter the server that every vote get's canceled. This should be switched off.
G.Swan becomes European DTM Champion at Blackwood

G.Swan (Mercury) sealed his first SimFIA DTM EU Championship at Blackwood GP with a 10 point win. His closest challengers, R.Mooney (Mercury) and K.Kulkinski (4Ignition), were unable to apply enough pressure to prevent Swan from clinching the title. With G.Swan placing his machine on the point with a 1:07.79, Mooney, having difficulty keeping pace with his teammate during the pre-race, started from the 4th position with a 1:08:31. C.Roescher (1ST) started 2nd with a 1:08.02. Although, J.Pickard (Mercury) qualified 3rd with a 1:08.10, he was forced to start at the rear of the field after some technical difficulties.

Kulkinski made a huge error using his teammate’s pit stop strategy, resulting in a 3rd pit stop for fuel and costing him 4th place. With G.Swan coming away victorious, it would prove to be a costly mistake, as Kulkinski lost enough points to be eliminated from the championship battle. Mooney, fighting his way up to second, drove an impressive race after his second pit stop to close the gap on Swan. Unable to do during the pre-race, he drove very quick times in almost every lap, even topping Swans qualifying time with a race-best, 1:07:71. J.Pickard recovered very nicely from his last starting position to finish 4th, handing Mercury Racing the 3 of the top-4 spots!

With G.Swan running away with the title, Mooney and Kulkinski clinched at least spots 2 and 3 in the championship. Separated by only 4 points, the battle for the runner-up position in the championship comes down to the last race in the season finale at South City Town next week.

Mercury Racing drivers have now won the last two SimFIA DTM EU Championships, with G.Swan in Season 2, and R.Mooney in Season 1. With an early look at next season, can anyone steal the crown away from Mercury? Stay tuned for next week’s action to see if anyone can get a head start on Season 3 with a win over the Mercury drivers at South City Town!

SimFIA congratulates G.Swan from Mercury Racing, for winning the DTM EU Championship!

you break to late, you will push the time like this but you never will.
break early and try to give a bit throttle while turning into the corner. also very good is while still breaking to give a bit throttle, like this you keep the FZR more stable

so it should be more expensive

If you like to have it all clean when use it like this but others like to use it diffrent. Or maybe setting up a second SHIFT+??
There are so many things going in which spoil me: pb, server pb, new guest, lost connection, x pitted, x made a pit stop, x did join, sometimes I don't like not to see my times in the corner but maybe the map (BTW: I would love to switch off the split time and just have the full lap). Of course the Yellow, Blue Flag will stay (but I hope it will soon change to realistic and a guy does wave a flag).
To set this up can't be a lot off work but I think very need.
SHIFT+F with more options

The Shift+F is right now a bit 1 or 0 like. Would like to choose what I'm going to still (for example still the racer name over the car).

Then also the option to witch off when somebody lost connection, new guest, pit stop,........

Shift+F should be totally free adjustable to the user, what ever could appear on the screen the user can choose if yes or no.

An server option for a automatic restart would be nice as well. I mean that you can set up a time that after x min the race will restart

There is a problem, got the reminder abot 22h to early

When it show's just the races I'm in it would be stupid, cause it's a nice way to see whats going on in the LFS World and a good way to find interesting stuff and for new leagues to figure when to place a new event.

L.Baker is Champion of the North American DTM

S2 licensed

Needing only a single point to clinch his first SimFIA DTM-North American Championship, L.Baker (CoRe) headed into round 8 at South City with tremendous optimism. With his closest competitor’s chances of winning the Championship on the line, L.Baker was sure to be pressured. Second place Championship competitor M.Tomlin (Eagles), Third place, A.Terrahe (1ST), and Fourth place M.Miller (CoRe) all had aspirations of keeping L.Baker behind them on track to prolong the Championship battle. M.Miller was able to place his CoRe Racing FXO GTR on the pole position with a very fast 41.04 lap. L.Baker was second with a 41.35, followed by A.Terrahe with a 41.60.

When the lights went green, it was a drag race to turn one to see who would get the advantage heading to the first trip through the make-or-break chicane. L.Baker made a move to the inside and upon turn one exit, M.Miller went wide, making contact with the wall. Overheating tires and damage on M.Miller’s car, let L.Baker stretch his lead to several seconds in the first 10 laps of the race, and a full lap by the end of the race.

A.Terrahe also touched the wall several times, including a chicane incident that collected M.Tomlin & S.Green. That incident left A.Terrahe 1.5 laps behind L.Baker after his first pit stop. Upon entering the pit lane for his first pit stop, M.Miller, running second at the time, misjudged his pit entry up and unfortunately, flipped his car out of the pit lane. Two broken shocks and an additional lap to get back to the pits sent M.Miller back in the field, handing A.Terrahe second position in the final race standings. Upon cycling through the pit stops, and the top three drivers (Baker, Terrahe, and Miller) settled into grooves and cruised home, with Championship leader L.Baker winning the race, gaining the necessary points to clinch the title.

Lee Baker after the race:
"I must say that I am proud to have captured this championship for myself and CoRe Racing. I want to thank M.Tomlin, A.Terrahe, B.Gossler, M.Miller, and S.Green for some great racing battles in this season's DTM NA series."

There are still two races remaining in the SimFIA DTM North American Championship with second and third in the standings still to be contested. M.Tomlin (33 pts) and A.Terrahe (32) are the closest to fill the runner-up spot. Miller (26) and Green (22) are a little further back, but are still in the running for a podium Championship finish.

SimFIA congratulates L.Baker (Banshee) on his first DTM Championship!

G.Swan can't be stopped at South City
tomylee
S2 licensed


The DTM European competitors were hosted in South City this week, racing at the short and narrow Classic circuit. Pre-race 8 DTM EU second place driver, R.Mooney (Mercury), was unable to participate in this event, and therefore his teammate, G.Swan, faced an opportunity to make a major step to his first championship win.

During the qualification, G.Swan made his intentions clear with a fast, 40.91 second lap, closely followed by his teammate, J.Pickard, with a 41.06. Third in qualifying was P.Gajdemski (4Ignition), with a 41.22.

Starts are always tricky in each race, especially in South City and DTM EU Race 8 would be no different. The first corner went surprisingly well, with the exception of a spin from N.Coelho (DSR), caused by T.H.Mann (Mercedes AMG). However, the following left-right chicane would become the key point for this race. J.Pickard entered the chicane too fast and wasn't able to break in time, resulting in contact with the wall. The car's following had no chance to brake or pass in time, resulting in a multi-car accident in the worst place possible.

"You are one lucky ba..... Kuklinski" said B.Kristiansen, "I was hoping I could get a bit closer in points to your 3rd place in the championship in this race, but oh no....". Indeed, K.Kuklinski (4Ignition) was the beneficiary of the chicane incident. He managed to pass Pickard's car only with slight contact on the side (left picture red-black-white car), something Kristiansen (white car) wasn't able to achieve.

Putting in a fantastic drive, G.Swan’s lead was never in danger for the remainder of the race. Only Kuklinski remained on the lead lap, with G.Swan knocking on the door at the end of the race. Kuklinski is now back in the title hunt with a slight chance to win the Championship.

G.Swan, with 50 points, now has a 11 point gap to Kuklinski (39) and one more to Mooney (38). With two races remaining, Swan is in great position to win the SimFIA DTM EU Championship, with Kuklinski and Mooney having all the pressure on their side. Winning at Blackwood is a must for both drivers to keep any chance for the Championship alive.

Race 8, third place finisher, C.Roescher (1ST), is improving his performance this year on each race, increasing his role in the Championship battle.

Join us next week at Blackwood to see how the Championship battle continues to unfold.

Drive carefully and take care!

Your DTM reporter,
tomylee.

I can give more throttle earlier and the car will not break out.
I will later on drive again U and I'm sure I will have more problems to keep the car stable in the corners.
