bonne course amusez vous bien

Couldn't get onto the server in time to commentate, my PC is being a right pain in the arse right now

I had a bunch of problems all of a sudden (and wasn't alone, it seems). Runtime errors, graphics issues and general CTD problems, about ten time in a row. A combination of a demanding mod, a track with a crowded pitlane, and the large field, I suspect.

I thought if I survived the session changeover (warmup to race) I just might be able to stay connected, but sadly it was not to be.

Best of luck to the rest of you, and I hope those who can race have fun--I certainly did myself during the two qual sessions at least.

Thanks HSO, as always.


CS

I also get this piece SH&% error.

Got freezed and CTDed a few times tonight but in the end I learned something - that now I really understand this kid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg9uNYwoJ3o

Well, complete reinstall would probably do the trick.

Freinage au panneau trop tard, pouf même pas un tour.
Some people could learn how to do a proper rolling start, it'd help

D@mn,i was having a lot of fun battling for position in the back of the grid,but unfortunately on lap 3 i made a mistake and crashed the front of my car in the wall...and my engine was gone.

.

Apparemment j'ai trop tiré sur le moteur au rétrogradage... course terminée, moteur explosé Dommage les bagarres avec notamment Jukka étaient super sympas

Apparently I was exploiting the engine too much on my downshifts, engine died Too bad, I had a great battle with Jukka

Jesus what a nightmare, raced almost all the time with the engine temperature in red . Pop-up warnings distracted me and made me lose concentration, and I was not confortable due to having to nurse the car so much. I also lost the front spoiler after having to go off track to avoid a spinning car in front of me (Actually not his fault at all, but rather mine as I chose the most difficult way to make it through, but I thought he was entering the track completely -which he correctly did not attemp)

Got some nice fights with Carl, who fell back, JF Bovy and others, but then exited in a turn and when Carl was passing me we made slight contact and it seems it caused a punture. Too far away from the pits and too dangerous for the others to limp back into the boxes, so I decided to quit.

j'étais bien, je m'amusais bien, je visais un top 10 tout à fait à portée, et puis petite toupie, aileron down, je ne sens rien tout d'abord puis dans la grande courbe ça tourne plus, direction pneus et rail
je repars tout de même pour que le jeu aille planter au moment où j'arrive à mon pit

.

Some Nice battles if i could turn back the clock i probably should have braked when i saw Alberto start to spin but i thought i had enough room to sneak thru the gap we made slight contact and i got a puncture i managed to crawl to the pits but a pitstop was 200 seconds so decided to quit ....

I Also forgot what corner i was on at one point and missed a gear change ploughed straight into the wall
Sorry Alberto

Great Race Great Track Great Car Unlucky driver

Np mate, that we wouldn't end the race was sure, the rest was a question of when

The opening laps were brilliant fun fighting with Paul, JB, Gerard and Frank who did well after starting from the back of the grid.

After ten laps or so I started feeling a bit tired and my laptimes dropped some, allowing Paul to pull away. However, apart from tiny mistakes here and there, mostly missing the apex or going a bit wide at the exit, I wasn't too worried about my situation. Engine was fine, hadn't over-revved it yet and tire wear was manageable

Then, entering the right-hander over the brow I put my left-side tires on the grass, went wide and despite doing my best to slow down and avoid contact kissed the barrier: Engine kaput I was really enjoying it until then, I'm angry now

What is a bit worrying is that we're supposed to be the best Historic Simracers in the world and yet after a handful of laps there were barely a dozen cars still running

Right before the pace lap, the game became ridiculously choppy on my end. I could hardly keep the car on the track, let alone drive it at speed. I hoped it would clear up after the green, but predictably, it did not. Ended my race in the tire barrier at the bottom of the hill. Never had this happen online before. I gather some other people had similar problems...

To be truthful, I wasn't really looking forward to 2+ hours of fighting the Mustang... So it's just as well...

Tout à fait...

Je demande bien à ne pas réparer les dégâts, mais non, il me le fait quand même, 205 secondes de pit... j'ai pas eu la patience j'ai fait echap.

J'avais pas de bons à priori sur ce mod, le début de course commençait à me faire changer d'avis, mais finalement... non

Tout allais bien jusqu'au chargement des voitures, là il me charge toujours les même et j'arrive par miracle à me placer sur la grille. Surprise, ma voiture passe du vert au rouge et j ai moins de 10 images secondes. Je m'écarte de la grille et là un joli rectangle rouge se place sur tout le pare brise et clignote aléatoirement. C'en est trop, je fais un tour au ralenti à 10 fps pui abandonne.

Soyez gentils, faites comme moi, foutez ce mod au chiottes et n'oubliez pas de tirez la chasse.

Je crois que ton PC n'est pas tout jeune, tu changera surement d'avis le jour où tu en changera.

Not as worrying as end,only 6 cars going ,only had 2 spins myself but survived both of them,only trouble i had was i could not get tires to heat up only 68c most of time Grats to Gui Vincent

Well, race started a bit akward... Started 9th. I had contact with someone on my back. But no great consequences.
Later I was fighting in top 5 / 6 lo, then I lost concentration hit the wall Had lots of damage in the front and the car started to understeer a lot. But you know me I'm a fighter... so I kept going in 7th I guess. After the guys started to pit I found myself in 2nd in a ruined car with spare fuel... kept going until I pit when Gui did. When I parked the car I was !! 192 sec. to repair, and I could not choose not to
Again.. I'm not a quiter. ...was frustrating watching myself loose 5 positions in the pits.
I came back in 7th and stay there untill the engine Blowned it was lap 45
Congratilations to Gui and everyone!
Tks HSO
ohhh by the way... we are the best historical simracers of the world!!! We are

Thats due to the late afternoon race and the very cold track.
