Round 5 - BRDC International Trophy [March 26th]

Pas du tout roulé, mais présent.

Y a t-il des consignes particulières pour arriver à se connecter pour la deuxième course en suivant par exemple les conseils de Frank lors de la dernière course ?

Il faut surtout bien choisir le mod HGT 1.96 normal, pas notre version patchée BSCC ou IMSA ou SCCA. Y'a encore le temps si vous voulez les gars, viendez ;)

Non, rien de spécial. Comme depuis le début de l'année, mise en grille par tour de reconnaissance.
Juste penser comme le dit Frank, à changer le mod pour la 2ème course, en choisissant bien HGT 1.95 comme sur la photo.
For second race, don't forget to swap the mod, like on the picture.

AH ? le 1.95 (selon toi, Ben) ou le 1.96 (selon Frank) ?

Juste pour signaler que depuis Snetterton je roule dans l'Abarth #14 et non la BMW   

C'est plutôt une coquille de la part de Franky, qui voulait bien sûr écrire 1.95.
On est pas passé à la 1.96, à ce que je sache, et sur le serveur, c'est bien la 1.95 qui tourne. 

Merci Ben ! effectivement, ça ne peut-être que la 1.95 !

Im in  

je sais pas qui sont les 2 gars qui roulent sur le seveur en session course mais c est pas tres cool pour ceux qui veulent y acceder .....   

Présent !

Server launched.   

Gotdamn

what was by far a awesome close race my router dicide to restart it self
got disconnected , im gutted...  

but untill then it was bloody awesome and very close
superb racing!

Sorry to hear that!

Lonely race for me, lost sight of lead group and had nobody behind, so took it conservatively.
Anyway love the track (My preferred version of silverstone by far) but had not practiced and didn't find a way to adjust the car to my liking. In the race it pushed too much and wasn't comfortable, though at last I did not have brake problems. In the end I was 42s behind Tiago, this illustrates the difference between his driving and mine

See you on the next one   

Fun Event server launched pass hso65

That was a good one Frank

Nice laps matey    !

Race results and championships standings updated, on the site

Still a very open title chase, both in the drivers' and teams' standings   !

  

fun in both races, Crashed on last lap while leading fun race   

See you all at the next one, And thanks again for organising Frank.

Well done winners too  

Oh and forgot to say, Sorry for the bump Patrick when lapping you   

Got caught out after letting the server find my grid slot, and not knowing what the start indicator would be (light/flag/postcard) so got swamped by Class C into turn one. Then on Farm straight, went left off track but manage to avoid head on with wall, finding a gap between back and wall...falling even further back
So was going to settle for just finishing and letting the Class C's do battle ahead undisturbed.....than a black Falcom passes!!??...I thought I was last in Class D and well back......so decided to try pass the Class C's ahead choosing my moments carefully so as not to ruin their battles. tried to get good exits onto long straights, but never seemed to happen. Hope I didnt cause too much/any inconvenience.

I am wondering if I should consider abandoning the Class D;s

Fun Race.....tried lotus at first but couldnt even drive in a straight line, so changed to jag...much better tho only one lap to qualy, so whole race was learning the car's limits.....pleased I managed to hang in there and not spin.

After the last race i thought i would be more careful this time at the start
by the time i got going i lost 3 or 4 places and was already 4 seconds behind Sergio ......

I Had some nice laps with Simon not sure what happened to him but i hope i did not cause his off ...

The majority of my race involved a nice battle with Alex Obviously this track suited the Abarth more but Alex gave me a great fight in his Little Mini at one point i was closing on Samy but i kept making little mistakes on the last corner i was hoping to be closer to Samy in the Mini but I'm more than happy with another podium ...

Well Done Tiago,Greg, and Sergio   
Congrats all finishers

A tiny little MP can change things. The setup made all the difference here, and you know I can spare my tune up knowledge with everyone

No problem Richard, I saw that it was not voluntary   

There is such a difference in speed between the cars that sometimes it becomes difficult to avoidable.

Super courses ! J'ai enfin compris le mode d'emploi de la cortina, il etait temps.
Désolé pour le bronx lors de la mise en grille, je ne voyais pas mon emplacement. Je pense que je n'étais pas le seul à avoir le probléme. Dans l'affaire, j'ai perdu une dizaine de place au départ.

Sorry for the mess on the grid, i could't see my place.

Merci HSO, vivement la prochaine.

Thank you mate, indeed I know your setup would have meant a big change for me ... with it I would have finished for sure at least 182 seconds and not just 42 behind you   as I tend to find alien setups undriveable   

But seriously, the main problem is my complete lack of practice. I'm involved in some projects (which you know   ) that absorb my spare time and I am entering the races with zero practice, learning things and setting up the car during the practice session. Still I'm happy and positive, I know better times will come and after all I finished 5th which is not so bad   

Juste eu le temps de faire un tour vers 19h, histoire de vérifier que le set de Goodwood ira très bien pour Silverstone (de toute façon, c'était ça ou rien !)

Qualif conforme à mes espoirs, dans le peloton habituel des Cortina.
Bon départ, puisque je me retrouve 3ème devant quelques puissantes Ford Mustang et autres Falcon qui m'avaleront comme une bouchée durant les premiers tours.
Puis grosse arsouille avec Greg qui finit par me décrocher (avec ces caisses : tu fait une faute, tu perd 1 seconde, tu peux plus revenir) Antoine en profite pour revenir et me passer. Je m'accrocherai à lui jusqu'à l'arrivée pour être sur le podium des Class C.

Puis, vient la course "fun" qui n'a pas été si fun que ça, me retrouvant, du fait des carambolages du début de course et de l'élimination de pas mal de potentiels animateurs, seul en tête.
Richard, avec son impressionnante Shelby Cobra, s'amusant avec moi et ma "petite" Type E, à me doubler, à se laisser doubler, à me redoubler, puis par prendre le large.... et finir dans le mur de la dernière courbe du dernier tour (Richard : tu n'as pas joué les Nelsinho Piquet à Singapour, quand même ?!) Bref, cette course, c'était plutôt le lièvre et la tortue !
Impressionnantes, les Tipo ! une open monotype à leur bord serait très fun !

Well, I tried... I tried really hard, but I lost   

I knew it was the very last chance for me to score a win over Greg, since the Cortina is slightly faster than the BMW in the striaght lines, and Greg is slightly faster than me everywhere else   

Qualy went alright, I even managed to snatch 2nd away from Vincent in the very last lap. The start however was terrible, I couldnt see the flag and was down 3 places in turn 1. I was stuck behind Samy in the first lap, then behind my mate Franky, and eventually once Jean-Marie has gone through, I tried to chase the leading duo with only 8-9 laps to go. They were fighting hard, which allowed me to catch them, and I had to wrestle my way past Yves who was fast as usual, but then a two seconds gap with Greg meant it was all over... Maybe with a better start I could have won, who knows, but anyway the championship win has slipped away from me now, it will be a close fight between Sergio, Tiago and Greg !

Too bad Alex didn't show up BTW, he is a great contender !

One last round in the Cortina for me at Crystal Palace, and then mister Willment said I might be allowed to drive a Falcon....   

Great fun in BSCC as usual, grats to all racers !
