Quote from JackDaMaster :

Wrecked myself?! You pushed me into the pit wall.

No, actually I closed the door but left minimal space for you.
Two possibilities for you in that particular situation.:
a) using the correct line
b) lift

Instead of steering a bit more to the right (without lifting) you decided to bump me... That sent you in the wall and gave me some extra-speed. Was a bit risky/harsh but worked quit well for me.

Quote from zeugnimod :

What was that about, Void? Why do you slow down and signal to the right in the middle of the race?

First of all: I´m very very sorry for the tap!

I slowed down immediately to give position back and gave signal to the left to let you pass back on my left side, DTM-like... maybe that confused you a bit...

I´m searching for an earlier discussion about this right now...must be somewhere in the CTRA-section.


For the rest of this race: Thank god its over! Went on green several times, was struggleing with temps from lap 9 in both races... no fun at all, just "work".

Quote from Golf 2 GT :

I heard that the VW Scirocco come at end april or in the middle of may...

Source..?

...apart from imagination

That was an awesome event, thx alot for hosting/organisation/broadcasting/etc and of course all the drivers..!

Quali was quit good, managed a 4th place and a new pb with the trimmed FXO.

Round 3:
Start was ok, nothing special. Got passed by three XRTs (as normal) but after the U-turn I was able to left Santos and Ward behind. In the next corner I passed McIntyre because he left the door wide open, so why not..?

Lap 3, first split: The four leading cars within 0,7 seconds, gap to McIntyre 1,5 seconds. "It´s about time to start some attacks at the car infront". 40 seconds later I was at third position. "That was too easy...what´s wrong..?!" Half a lap later, between the ovals, Sedgwick tried to get the place back. But he had no luck and wrecked himself.

In lap 4 I was battling with Marques. First I tried to outbrake him but that was a bit overoptimistic. I would call this a classic divebomb. I´m very sorry for this! Of course I lifted and gave the postion back. Had a great laugh as I watched this on stream. Thrilling commentary:..."Oh what a great manoeuvre, he passed Ranseier on the outside...") ...slightly over the top
Later that lap we had some contact again. I lost control, went sideways and heated my tyres. Lost two places as we entered the oval, but was in slipstream from Sedgwick.

Lap 5: Side by side with Sedgwick my comp freezed for about five seconds. I kissed the wall again, lost three seconds and got passed by Ward. Managed it to get 5th place back in the same lap and ruined my tyres even more. Still 2 1/2 laps to race, I was thinking about defending for the first time...

In lap 7 after the U-turn I found myself 0,3 seconds behind Sedgwick, what a surprise and what a chance. "Another FXO with (maybe) ruined tyres". But I pushed way too hard in that fast righthander and of course got passed by Ward again. My tyres where gone...

Last lap was weird. "Battling" with de Souza with ruined tyres, Sedgwick slowed down for no reason and I rammed him, I lost speed, de Souza passed me and Santos was very close. At the end I finished 6th.


Round 4:
My plan was to push like mad in the first 3 laps eventually building up a gap/driver-buffer to Blauhoff.

Started from 3rd postion, needless to say i got passed 5 times. But I worked my way through the field and managed it somehow to earn 2nd place in lap 3, just 1,5 seconds behind Santos. Time to calm down and watch the raceprogress...

At the end of lap 4 my comp freezed again for 5 seconds and I lost ~0,5 seconds...

Lap 6-8: Tried to push a bit more to get closer at Santos´ ass and get away from Marques...

Lap 9: Noticed Marques vs Blauhoff in my mirror... must be some contact, they lost time (sigh), still sneakead at Santos, 1 second behind. Santos missed his brakepoint and after the U-turn I´m 0,6 seconds behind him. What a surprise, I´m 2,8 seconds infront of Marques and 3,5 seconds infront of Blauhoff.
Santos went on green under braking and made another misstake a bit later. "OK, stay cool and take your chance, don´t push, 3rd is far away..."
Infront of the first oval I was ready to attack.

Lap 10: Tried a pass at the second oval but failed. I bumped him, he went slightly sideways and lost momentum, I had to lift to bring back position. "F..."

Lap 11, first split: I´m still battling with Santos and what´s that..? Blauhoff only 0,9 seconds behind..?! "Holy sh*t, I`m loosing time, damn obstacle. I have to pass him now... (unpack crowbar)"
Infront of the first oval it happened: Blauhoff was able to catch me because of Santos´ "speed" and blocking/defending behavior... awesome and nice driving so far...

Lap 12: Good old Santos forced Blauhoff to slow down and I passed him (Blauhoff) at the fast righthander... as expected (big grin!). A few seconds later I finally managed it to pass Santos...just in time to defend against Blauhoff (I thought). But Blauhoff passed Santos somehow in the last righthander, only 0,6 seconds behind me! "Three laps to go, this is getting serious...!"

Lap 14: Tried everything to stay infront of Blauhoff but went slightly on green, lost momentum and dirten my nearly overheated tyres. A perfect victim... Infront of the the last sharp righthander I gave him the place he wanted... had nothing to fight with.

Last lap: Blauhoff uncatchable, Santos 0,2 seconds away, de Souza on his back. ...time for defending. Finished 2nd. ...after a great race with great drivers, thx alot!

Quote from scotty2888 :

So Void has a toothache...

No, Sir. I´m fine.
Let´s hope I´ll stay fine after eating approximately two pounds of easter-sweets...

Quote from zeugnimod :

Also: Did you state somewhere yet, how many laps the races will have?

Lets say seven and 15 laps, or was it 8 (6) and 16 (14) laps...?

...well, it depends...

I´m ready for everything, including toothache

Utterly bullshit, same as for the movies...

Quote from 1993weeman :

SO5 is not a good track...

My impressions for this evening:

It´s not the the track, it´s the driver(s) fault. Divebombing, not giving room in narrow situations, pushing the car infront under braking etc..it´s all unrelated from the choosen track.

Same goes for AS7 (some people even dont know the track) or blackwood (everyone immediately switched to hotlap-mode, read above)

I´m not that fast on these combos, but I know quite well when to lift/brake earlier/change line to avoid crashes...

Count me in again.

Anyone interested in some highres-skins for broadcasting/replays/whatever..?

...so much fun for 99 cent

I guess its some sort of "adapter" for some "weird" screws, but it´s a hard to judge from that image.

Try to plug the flat screwdriver in one end and insert a coin into the other..?

OH... Are you sure..? (of course you are)

I guess I need proper links then...

seems to be incorrect:

Noticed that, but I thought it was buggy because of the damn summertime

Did I miss something..? 25 minutes till practice, six people on server and there´s still no password sent out...

Quote from Andrei221 :

Make your own list.

...goes to my my ignore-list

Started on 11th position, T1 worked quite well for me. Was forced to get wide but returned to sender after chikane...

The first hour went well and way better than expected.
After my pitstop (lap 18) I found myself racing on 6th place (surprise, at least for me).

After the stop (on my outlap) I managed it somehow to crash in that fast chikane. I sneaked off to pits and repaired the damage. Accidently I refilled again, so I was on 56% fuel when I left the pits (way too heavy for my set and not really competive and)... Lost four places because of my second pitstop...

40 minutes later (on lap 30) I did it again:
This time I had to change the front tyres aswell, melted them on my way back to pits (fuel was still plenty enough)

Never touched the reset-button and finished 11th place... I´m satisfied!

its nearly undrivable...

Cars warping arround ~2 meters (caused some lag-crashes), wrong grid in race2, random disconnects of random people...

Cya, thanks for racing and get a proper server next time!
