Round 1 - ATCC Round 1 - Winton [Sept 2nd]

I have reinstalled the bmw fix, and it keeps giving me the same error

Have you tried installing the bathurst addon again? And are you sure the BMW fix has installed in the correct location.

Thank you very much for your help Richard, but in the end do one install all new and luckily I could already

get luck to all for tomorrow

Thanks to all that came tonight.

Well i am happy and frustrated at the same time.

Happy because i had great fights with Ben, and didnt make almost any mistakes (apart from a funny moment when both me and Ben missed a braking spot because someone knocked the distance boards )

Frustrated because i was probably the only idiot with Medium tires in the race, in a last second gamble that didn't pay off at all... i was a sitting duck after 20 laps, and after waving by Richard C, my laptimes slowly went through the roof until Ben caught up with me, and passed me after a short exciting dice.

Still was great fun, the Starion is very nice to drive

Great moment
I was hoping in watching my rearview that you make the same mistake. Happy when I saw you in the grass too.

sorry guys, i mistook the time zone (again)

It was a nice race, although I made several mistakes. One at the very first moment, when I forgot to uninstall the "grinding tranny" mod It made me funny moments with miss-shifting at the start, and a few during the race (when I was on the grass, yep, those were).

A very great decision was, when I changed to Hard compound at the last moment. Maybe Very hard would have been even more stable at the 2nd part of the race.

Anyway, great & fair fights, especially with Mr Titz with a Rover SD1. Very nice defending, very fair for over many laps. I was too tired after the race to watch those laps, today, it will be a movie for me.

To sum up, cool, thank you for the great organisation, and looking forward to the next round.

Cheers

Why uninstall? I use it always

That's cool. Anyway maybe one race was not 100% enough to get used to it Of course, I'll give it an other try, because during the race there were even 15 laps in a row when everything happened well, so, it stays.

Sorry i wasn't there yesterday! i totally forgot about it after having my second day at school (till 16.00) and my first bit of homework to worry about

No problem Martin

Dear friends,

I want to apologise for not showing up on Winton race..

I got an indecant proposal, it was a last minute decision, and I didnt get to excuse myself before the race.
Even not planed to go, I got an offer to go to a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion show in town 200km from mine, and even sim racing is my love, explosive music is even more..
Its just 2 kindsa' love.... And mr. Spencer won this time (again )

Race you soon!

A few too many days has gone since the event so have forgotten a couple of incidents but I'll write but I remember

Struggled in Qualifying, which I think is because I were trying too hard to make the car go (although I had to drive it on the limit to get into the 27's...) but still had a resonable qualifying by my standards so happy with it


When the race got underway I manged to get a good start and went around the outside to get to 4th place behind Jan and tried to hook onto his bumper but it very quickly became obvious that I would have no chance to keeping up unless I wanted to be on the rims after 20 laps so dropped a few tenths every lap and soon came under a bit of preassure by Mathias. Since he was a lot quicker than me I decided pretty quickly to let him go to be able to keep the gap I had to Yves.

Spent many laps controlling the gap to Yves and after a while Peter caught up and since he were in a different class and much quicker over the lap I also let him by.

Soon Yves ran into tire troubles and Richard ended up behind me and we were of resonably equal pace but after a misstake at Turn1 he were right behind so we had a couple of laps of battling with each other until we made contact as Richard tried to get under me out of T4 while I had no more room on the outside, sorry if it was my fault, felt like I held my line on the grass-ish bit after the cerb but I may have moved a bit to the inside due to the tires spinning up


After this it was pretty much a cruise to the end of the race, pretty happy with the result considering the circuit was as far from a power circuit you can come, it felt like about 20% of full throttle over the whole lap

Thank you to everyone invovled and see you all next round

I wondered about that, first thought that I had hit you or something.

Had a good race, but had much more speed at training sessions. But because of work I was very late, luckily I got at least one flying lap at qualifying.
Start wasn't good, but stayed on P5. After that I could match the pace of José and JP.
Jonatan and Jan let me through really easy, but I think they had their own problems with tire management.

Later in the race I could catch JP, we had a nice fight and I was able to overtake him. But right after that my Tires went down and I couldn't get away for some laps.
In the last laps he got more problems I think, a I wasn't able to catch José. So P2 for first race was great, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
