I barely got the game running, as i had to install everything from scratch after windows reinstall. Nuno gave me a set that was too oversteery for me and i qualified badly. But I moved break balance towards front and the car suddenly became very nice to drive. Thanks a lot for help, Nuno! :top: The race itself was a lot of fun, as i moved from P14 to P5 in some 10 laps. Then it was clear that Jan was too fast and i just wanted to finish the race. Unfortunately, i lost connection. It must be something with the mod, as it never happens while racing anything else. I got two disconnections in Montlhery and i got one today, all with Historix. Anyway, it was fun and the only thing i regret is bad statisctics here at HSO. See you next time :conduit:

Was hard work, manhandle the supra around there was a challenge!  :yaa:

Qualy didnt went so well, and then in the race at the start i had to brake so i wouldnt rear end Jason, and i overfuelled on top of that, so i lost positions and ground on the first few laps Mad .
But after that, i settled into the my rythm the medium and hard tires combo keeping the temperatures in check, and i was able to keep two of the BMWs at bay after they came together, and at the end i caught Jason, and almost got to Alain bounce .

All in all good fun and a shame toyota didnt invest more on the car :hihi:

Congrats Jo "the drift" for the win, and all the finishers!

Thanks Richard for organizing :drink:

Well... That was hard but a lot of fun Very Happy


Didn't spend that much time, spent maybe 4 hours in total getting the car the way I wanted it to be (some 15 minutes there and then another few minutes another day) and found the car to be very nice around here, very kind to my driving style once I managed to get the front end to do what I wanted it to.


Qualifying:

Went out and tried to set a resonable lap as a banker but managed to spin and then, when taking it easy, hit the wall of death on the outside before the long straight and had to go back to the pits.

With that I only had 1 lap to set a time to so took it with relative ease, didn't push where I knew I shouldn't push and so on and it worked out well, 2nd on the grid was way more than I thought I would be able to pick up Shocked Surprised Smile


Race:

The race started and I managed to get a good start, not a blistering one, but it was good enough to outdrag Yves down to Turn1 and then I could get a bit of a gap which I needed to get the tires up to temperature and the first couple of laps was my weakest of the whole race (I knew this since I did a race simulation and also the way I knew that I had the car set up).

Soon came under a bit of preassure from Yves who caught up but I could stay ahead while not making any misstakes and then Jacob caught us up and a 3-way duel commenced between us. In essence it was me trying to stay ahead biding my time while Yves and Jacob faught for 2nd place and a chance at a go at me.

I got lucky 16 or so laps in when Jacob made a misstake at the 90 left in the last sector and they, as I udnerstood afterwards, had a slight come together allowing me to get a 7 second lead after having had at most 1.8 for most of the opening half of the race.


After this I just tried to keep the car on the road while not making a fatal misstake which I was able to pull off. Also had a bit of fun drifting the car at times through the opening sector, perfect place for such childishness  Twisted Evil  Razz  :hihi:  :D  Very Happy


I'm really happy with the win, especially considering the VK not being the most ideal car for the circuit (in my previous experience at least) :champ: :banane: 1987 South Australia Cup, Formula 1 support race [Aug 16th] - Page 3 3108518133


Now I will celebrate with a little lemonade after a shower Smile


Thanks for the fun and the racing as well as organizing it all, was a lot of fun :first: :top:

Great, Great "racing Weekend"

I've done some laps to know the awsome M3 and the tricky track Razz

Q: Better then i expected, P3 with almost my lap record, Not Bad

R: Green Lights on affraid
Lost one place in the start, lost another in the first laps, and the fun started, great fight with Richard and Jan.

Passed Richard with a Cross in the hair pin and after some laps "fighting" with Jan i hit the wall in the inside of the chicane and the cars was projected to wall in the other side. Repaired that and left the pits 9 seconds in front of Richard.

Trying to catch the P11 an P12 puted a tire on the grass while braking and spon, again fighting with Richard i hit "the wall of dead" and the car realy died.

Final result, a DNF (was exepecting a lot more than that Very Happy ) and a very good race with lots of respect with the driver "next door".


I realy had enjoy to race here so i hope we met on track again soon.

Congrats to all and thanks to those who prepared this race :champ:

That was a great drive, Jonatan. I thought my race pace was good enough in the first half, then my tires went away and I had to fend off Yves. Real fun combination, the Holden and this track. Thanks for organizing this!

Great, great fun..

I was struggling with Toyota, then mr. Wilks helped me a lot with his setup which was too drifty for me, bat gave me some directions for more experiments, which finaly proved ok..

But as someone said, its not in the setup, but in the driver :D
First I smashed front end heavy while scraching my swety back, and then lost a car in the fas right one, and could not restart the engine.. it was a lap or two to the race end, which makes it more bitter than Id like, but again, great race, great track... enjoyed it all the way.

thanks the maker (Richard)
