1987 200 Meilen von Nürnberg [March 9th]

A bit late but... #2 Brun Motorsport plz   

Please do not be offended Damian , if I do not answer on the server! I understand you, but can't answer, my knowledge of the English language is depressing!  
I still rely on the settings you suggested and feel pretty good car! Thank you!
But to me, nothing will help to drive faster! 
However, nothing will stop I to get pleasure from this race and great company!

Don't worry Vadim, I have a new version of the Sauber's setup if you want, it is more stable and easy to drive

Qual running late...I think. Checking why now.

Qual launched. Frank/Martin will have to confirm I set it up correctly. My apologies if I did not.

Remember recon laps and rolling start!

j'ai du monde qui viens de débarquer et ma femme les a inviter à manger !!  

dommage , peut être pour la 2e manche

Sorry Jean-François, as you say it seemed that the guys in front of us didn't move when the "green green" was shown, and then suddenly you steered left to where I was, I suppose you wanted to overtake someone or something, but I didn't touch you deliberately. Sorry again.   

My race wasn't much better, crashed to desktop at qualifying when tiago left the game, started the race in the wrong grid pos., and while trying to gain places I lost it under braking at T1 and collided with the wheels at the inside, the car was badly damaged and after trying to carry on I crashed again and that was it. Well, shit happens.   

Was having some connection problems this afternoon and then when i managed to rejoin the server just before the start of the race my steering had stopped working .....  Tried to reset but still would not work by the time i got back the race had started so i Watched the race as a spectator for awhile ...  

There where some good battles going on  

Race 2 start in 10 mins from this post

Had a lot of fun in Heat 1, particularly with Vladko in the Columbia Crest car. Had to run full boost just to keep ahead of him at several points. Unfortunately, I was a bit too hard on my motor and blew up at 2/3 distance. Going to up the radiator 1 click and shift a bit earlier in heat two   

Plantage CG dans la deuxième manche, dommage, ça se présentait bien !   

huh, it was too hard for me, too many walls too many horsepower but the event was fantastic, thanks!

Argh, I stuffed up my time zone calculation and missed it. I was just getting the hang of these cars too. Thanks Yves for the setup, it helped a lot. Sorry guys I was looking forward to it too

Race results and replays available on the site.

Apologies for all the problems tonight, especially with the late qualifying semi-crash of the server   . Thanks for you patience   

After my problems earlier i was debating not turning up for the 2nd race
but I'm glad i did ...

The Early part of the race i had some great laps following Mike and then Jason
but i clipped the wall just going into the chicane and it bent something on the car after that
the car was really pulling to the right this really affected my laptimes
and i was unable to keep up with them ...

Later in the race i clipped the left side and this seemed to make it drive a little better
but towards the end the tyres where shot Poor Mike had worse luck than me in the chicane and i think he lost his wing or wheel and so his race was over ...

A little annoyed by my problems with my wheel just before the 1st race but an unexpected 7th place in the 2nd race more than made up for it ...

Well Done to Mark and to Damian ,thanks for the Setup   
Congrats all finishers ...  

Thanks for Organizing Frank ...

No problem Richard, and i for sure know you didn't make deliberately
we were just to close at this time and the car very sensitive
will be better next time

It was a great event !

My strategy to use a set of medium tires and a full tank pay of. I made hundred of laps before te race to be sure that the tires will last. The most important thing about the setup was the gearbox, with 1st and 2nd gear very close to avoid tyre's wear, with the idea to change from 1st to 2nd very early.

After the confusion about qualy, I started 20th. I went full boost at first half of the race, but then I had to start to save fuel, using low boost and temporary boost on the straights. When I found myself in 3rd position, the leaders went to pits so I got the first position.

The second race was better, with more competition. After a clash with Tiago, I was 4th position, and then I had a great duel with Vladko but he was suffering with the old 2.8 I made this race with boost 3 and temporary boost on the straights.

This MOD is amazing, the only one I like to drive since it was released. The only thing I think is wrong is the front tire's wear, that I think is too low and it let you drive in arkade mode. All the rest is delicious.

Per Carl I had a very abrupt end to my 2nd race while in very good position. We had somewhere to be at 5:30PM and my wife bypassed the team radio and jumped on the driver. I was distracted so bad I pinballed the chicane and plowed into the outside wall. Thankfully nobody was near. Dang shame, I was in a great spot and car was working nice. Took hard tires race 2 and they lasted much better than mediums in race 1.

Thanks for running the open guys!

All that hard work about the front tyres..... And that's what we get   

Kidding, thx for the info

We been ran an entire session in PSR league in Argentina, and we found that in some tracks it let you drive too aggresive. The best example was braking for Indianapolis corner at Le Mans. We have had races of an hour and a half all the winter (Hockenheim, Watkins Glen, Fuji, Spa, Silverstone and Le Mans). We tried everything about strategy, and we found that a set of medium tires per tank is the best. Sometimes, when we made 1.5 hours races, it was better to stop at middle of the race to change tires and fill the rest of fuel needed to end the race (starting with full tank).

The MOD is amazing about fuel consuption, brakes, aero, strategy, its excelent for competition on a league. We just found that problem with the front tires, and the tire's noise (I have reported that time ago at the forum). The other only thing I think have to be fixed up, is the glass on the Rychard Loid car, that looks like with a layer of gray and some things from the track appears into the cockpit.

Check the times of my team mates (Pablo and Daniel) on race at Le Mans.

BTW, we have a server running Bathurst for the group-c just for fun in our summer. Pass is "spa"

I'm not a fan of modern racecars, but this mod is simply magnificent   .
Car behavior is realistic, i had the feeling to be in a real Group C car, powerful but predictable and manageable.
Promoted without reserve.

I don't want to feel like the victim of bad luck, but... In the first race rFactor CTD and I after skidding very dangerous stopped in conjunction turns. In the second race during the pit stop is lost connection with the server.
Sorry guys whom I have caused inconvenience. While I do not find the reasons for such a slow pace, and have to endure this outrage!
But the required dose of adrenaline and fun I have received, it means that the race had the desired result!

I think the tire wear is ok, but I guess you mean you can lock the front tire very often and the tire will not wear a lot more. This is an issue with rFactor I think, slightly locking up the tire doesn't seem to have any effect on the car behaviour. Still I know a few "dirty" drivers who kills and overheats the front tires in a few laps   

Bon setup = bonne qualif.

A ma grande surprise, je me retrouve en pôle au départ (mais où sont passée Ricard et Damian ?)
Green flag, green flag, green, green, green...
Mark me touche un peu juste avant le premier freinage. Le temps de retrouver mon équilibre, le point de freinage est passé. Au lieu de partir en tête à queue dans l'épingle et de mettre un beau bazar, je préfère gérer la survitesse en m'allant m'échouer tranquillement dans les pneus.
M'échouer, m'échouer... plutôt m'empêtrer dans ces pneus et dans les rapports de boite (put..., il est où ce point mort, il est où !?)
Bref, je repars le couteau entre les dents, mais 13ème, je crois.
Grosse remontée pour me bagarrer pour la troisième place pas mal de temps avec Tiago, que j 'arrive à passer.
Mais à 15 tours, je pars en tête à queue bêtement dans le droite 90° et abîme l'avant droit.
Deux arrêts et 6 tours dans la vue plus tard, je termine tranquillos 10ème, histoire de ne partir trop loin pour la deuxième manche.

Deuxième manche, je profite des embrouilles des premiers tours pour me retrouver en tête au 5ème tour !
Totalement inespéré  ! Plus rapides, Damian et Vadim me passent, mais j'arrive à ne perdre le contact.
Tout se passe bien, le meilleur est à venir, mais au 34ème tour, un plantage de pilote de ma CG (le pilote d'affichage de répond plus ! j'entend la voiture, mais ne la voit plus, écran noir !) entraîne mon abandon, dommage.

Bravo aux participants, aux finisseurs, aux podiums, au vainqueur qu'est Damian qui a dominé cette soirée, et bien sûr à HSO !
