Round 2 - BARC Spring Trophy [January 29th]

I won the victory over that track  ! Everywhere were placed treacherous sand traps and even they couldn't stop me  ! When Tiago was catching me, thought to do in his pants, but the pants stay pure, I received the long-awaited dose of adrenaline  !
Damn I want more  !
With you on the track cool guys  !

P.S  It seems rehabilitation was successful  !

course gagné dans ma classe ^^ je suis content

tres grosse bagarre avec sergio et sa abarth mais j'ai réussi a le contenir =)

superbe bagarre, j'ai pu y assister en spectateur privilégié dans le dernier tour. Désolé pour la tentative de dépassement un peu au dernier moment. J'ai préféré rester derriere pour ne pas vous gêner.

Finalement les Classes B on est super rapide en ligne droite maison freine bien plus tot que les autres et en virage, entre le poids et la puissance débordante on est pas vraiment à l'aise. Pas toujours facile donc avec le traffic sur des circuits étriqués et étroits.

Merci à HSO   

Pour nuancer un peu les propos de Laurent et JP, je dirais que globalement c'est ma faute, sorry à tous   
J'étais tellement au taquet à essayer de contenir JP que je serrais un maximum les trajectoires, voyant au loin que Laurent roulait à peine moins vite que nous je me suis dit qu'il allait prendre la traj dans ce virage et qu'on pourrait le passer ensuite avant le dernier, mais en fait tu t'écartais pour nous laisser passer, mauvaise mayonnaise   

Bon sinon arsouille mythologique, tout d'abord je parviens par je ne sais quel miracle à contenir JP jusqu'à l'accident, ensuite l'arsouille continue avec Vincent pour la seconde place que je gagnerai sur la ligne, bah rien d'autre à dire, faut mater le replay, vu de l'intérieur c'était incroyablement stressant    

Devant Greg était trop fort, GG à tous et à la prochaine   

bad race but good news!  

race was good till lap 18, i could held 2nd after Dave made his spin and was storming behind me to catch up so dont fight him and let him go to hunt Tiago , place 3 was the highest one this time  but i screw that up by a concentration fault and got trapped TWICE in a gravel pit  

the good news is i checked this hso Oulton and find the solution in the GDB, the event name Oulton Gold Cup was written at the trackname with a small c (up) as was with a C (up) in venue name,  i changed it and now rfactor displays Oulon 60 ingame aswell replays, i also swap this cam to the 60s oulton which is better ,
by trail and error we get it done thanks HSO
i realy enjoy myself in this league with fantastic cars and races sofar , Up to Snetterton!  

mm dunno if possible but like to test this track if the problem is realy solved on a hso server

btw i have Snetterton ready and will check extra the gdb for no mishaps in future and will send it to you martin

OK I'll re-up a server with your track

Yes send me the updated version or just the modified files

Ok
will send you tomorrow the new version with some tweaks and a new 60s Snetterton!

goodnight  

Well first of all, congratilations again to my good mate Tiago.
What a night, for me as usual, full of drama!   
First, the pole of Tiago, on the very last lap!!   
Then, I've made a good start, and at the 1st corner I was 1st... the on the last right hander... disaster. Spun, and went down to 5th place  
I've tried to put myself together, and start to hunt the 4th place. I've managed to climb to 2nd, but then with a few mistakes I couldn't get close enough to Tiago. I would need more laps to do so. But hey, that wouldn't be easy because I know he was just managing his pace. Anyway, you deserved the win bro   
Congratilations to everyone, and thanks HSO for a gread race full of Drama (for me at least  )

In the end, the two Portuguese flags on the top two, has to make me feel good lol

Thanks but we're already set for Snetterton with a beautiful 1955 version But we'd gladly use your upgraded Oulton Park for the season finale in May

wow thats cool , didnt know there was a 1955 Snetterton around in rfactor     

There isn't but there will be in a few days  

Well, that was quite harder than I thought.

David surprised me in qualifying and I wasn't really confident I was going to make the pole since in my last laps, all the braking markers were gone (I guess if they were in the track, they wouldn't get knocked down so many times) but I've nailed it in the last lap. Thanks again JP for easing off for me to pass, I was really going with the knife in my teeth.

In the race, had a fair/poor start, I just floored it, letting the tyres spin for too much time. David passed me, but I wasn't too worried, since I was confident with the car. I kept the pressure on David during the 1st lap until he made a mistake in the last hairpin (you still owe me a brand new left door to my Mustang); maybe I should have left him a little more room until he was comfortable and then we could go for a fight.

After that, as David said, I just cruised on, managing my pace and try not to make any mistakes. I was losing a bit of time with backmarkers since I wasn't going to take any chances. Still had a small hairy moment with Vadim when I saw him changing his line when I was overtaking him (thought to myself "you're not going to do it, you're not going to do it....   ) but then he went back to his normal line   

Vadim, when being overtaken by a faster car, keep your cool, stay in your normal line and do your normal race; it's up to the faster driver to make the manouver, so don't panic when you see you're going to be overtaken   

Also, I'm happy to see that David is getting really competitive and, above all, he's managing to finish races   

I'm on a winning streak    

Je cherche toujours pourquoi hier soir j'ai rencontré des problemes sur le serveur

Il n'y a pas eu de patch ou de nouvel add-on entre les courses de Brands Hatch et d'Oulton

I was exiting the pits, so that was normal, even if I was on a race to get to the line before the checkered flag (and that almost got me pole).
Letting others by on the first lap exiting the pits, or on a ruined lap is common courtesy, like letting leaders by when lapped. But as I found out again yesterday, it's hard for some to watch the mirrors when exiting the pits or being lapped...

Tu as mis le patch HGT 1.96 ?

non, il fallait le mettre  

Non, justement, je demandais au cas où.
Le mod n'a pas changé depuis Brands Hatch  

J'ai bien cru que j'allais me retrouver tout seul comme à Brands Hatch, moins largué mais tout seul quand même. Finalement, coup de bol, je profite d'un crash devant pour recoller à Antoine et là, on s'est battu comme des chiffoniers jusqu'à la fin de la course. Genial.

Ca m'a réconcilié avec le mod, même si cette fois j'ai eu un peu la sensation de conduire un autobus.

la photo numero 4 fait bien ressortir l intensité du 1 er tour entre moi JP Antoine et Toi   , bel album   

Thanks Vincent very nice pics   

Congratulate all participants to thank the staff to resolve problems with the track   .
Samy great struggle with throughout the race, overtaking thousand and one, fantastic   , I would pass so well that I was short.
I hope so much fun in the next.

PD: Samy, my Abarth vows revenge   

I Watched a fantastic fight between Samy and Sergio for most of the race and in the 1st half of the race was only a second or so behind them i managed to use the superior power of the Abarth and got by Samy on the long straight very briefly  ...
I Followed for a few more laps but nearly cra**ed myself when i found Ben was parked in the middle of the track facing the wrong way pointing towards me .... I Made a split second choice as i had not really seen him until i was right on him lucky i went the right way it was very close . God it made me jump   

Not long after this the quicker/class cars started to lap us and i started to lose my rhythm
well done Samy your Mini was very good in the corners .... 

he Carl, remind i dont have headlights so I honk the horn when passing,   makes me laugh everytime and go almost off track .
this mod is so cool and and most of all nice chaps to drive with, but realy need to find some speed to get mr Tiago

Hé,hé, Greg, la n°20, c'est pas Vincent, c'est moi !   

Je me suis battu comme un chiffonier aux basques de JP et Antoine pour ne pas perdre définitivement le contact, je revenais même sur eux.
Mais juste avant l'embrouille, à ce que j'ai cru comprendre, au moment où j'allais profiter la situation, je me prend comme un neuneu un bac à grav fatal à mon moteur, ce qui a permis à Vincent de tirer les marrons du feu !
Comme quoi, qui veut voyager loin ménage sa monture ! (Quoi que pour suivre ce train, il ne fallait guère ménager la monture !   )

Bravo à nous tous de produire de telles belles courses !
