Post by: Wally on June 04, 2019, 11:02:03 PM
Congratulations to Guybrush on pole and the 3 race wins, giving him the lead in the season standings. The fastest laps were all set by Bacchulum, and coming second in the round sees him move up into second place in the standings. Killagorilla jumped 4 places up in the standings this round, while Bird dropped down 3.

Lap 1 Penalties

The race starts were very clean, with very few contacts at all.

Race 2
Russ ran into the back of me at Parabolica, knocking me into Seanus and off the track – 30 kg penalty.

Bird went too high on the banking and clipped the barrier, spinning him wildly and causing a big pile up – racing incident.

Season Standings
1. Guybrush Threepwood, 535
2. Bacchulum, 496
3. Phil.8, 486



Time to fly around the banked oval!

3 x 9 laps

Weather is hot - 27, 30 and 31 degrees.

This track only has 25 pit boxes, and we have 27 sign ups. So I'm going to drop off Gratulin and Grat off the grid for this round.

Damn that bump on the first banked section throws my Lotus into a spin.  :o
Need to tune the suspension for just that one section of track.

Certainly won't need as many practice laps as last week and hot lapping here is a bit boring, but think with slipstreams the race could be fun.

Highest order of apologies to everyone - I've managed to touch the bloody barrier of course, and it has/had a really bad part...that got me spinning, and after that I was a passenger.
Something is not right with these cars in this department; they like to just spin up and keep spinning madly - and of course there's nothing you can do.

First race was great, though.

Not coming back for race 3?

Apologies for whoever I took out in race 3. Was a bit disorientated after connecting the pit wall entry barrier and did not realize I was still on the race track and not within the pit lane. Too many 360's  :-[

Wally, I ran into Joe during qualifying and feel I deserve a penalty for next race.

Great racing Bacchulum. Neck and neck the whole way.

I just watched race 2 GB, I think there was a lap that it wasn't. ;)
The other 8 were insane. ;D

Results are up.

That would set a dangerous precedent! Application for penalty denied.

That was me unfortunately.

Race 1 was great fun. Race 2 hit a spinning bird and got 900 sec penalty in the pits so waited for the next race but hit a spinning Mael on lap 2 again wrecking completely. Just not my night.

Race 1, I clipped the barrier on the opening lap and spun, but could keep going with no damage. But then had fun racing with Rob and Able.
Race 2 was a disaster. I got tapped off at parabolica, then got aught in Bird's crash, with heavy steering damage. I thought I might be able to keep driving, but it was too wobbly in the corners, so I pitted for repairs. Then, on my outlap from the stop, I was letting a lapping car past by staying low on the banking, but they drifted down into me and spun me again. Not a great race, but strangely I had the most consistent lap times.
Race 3 was excellent - great drafting, swapping with AbleArcher many times, with Phil and Seanus nearby. A lot of fun. Later in the race, Seanus and Able were able to draft past me, but then had a coming together which I could see coming and avoided, gifting me 2 places. I finished 5th, which was my best result so far.

My expectations weren't high for this one...thought a bit it'll be an early night. Done only very few laps over the weekend. Setup was a copy & paste from Imola with a gearbox adjustment.
During practice I had a bit of close racing with Freezer trying to figure how you can deal with these fast moving obstructions there on track...and what it feels like going off the ideal race line there in the banked turns, wherever this ideal line actually is. I haven't been able to work that out. So I stayed in the middle to be as safe as possible.
Of course we had a couple of contacts ending up in drama because of me making mistakes. So I thought extrapolate that with a bunch of other cars around you...hm, need a lot of luck tonight ;-)
Yeah, and I got plenty of that. No major dramas, very few slight contacts, but managed to keep the car on track apart from the start of race 2 I think.
The finish of race 1 with I think AGK and Bacchulum was pretty exciting and that one worked out well for me too. First I was just stuck behind them going side-by-side and then a gap opened up and I slipped through...very lucky.
Otherwise I was racing by myself, pretty much no draft at all.
Cheers. I think that was my last race for this season unfortunately.

Race one was constant pressure from Bird, he got close early but didn't have the power to get past completely.  I eventually had a small gap, enough to keep him behind and with Bacchulum and Seanus having offs late in the race I was gifted 2nd.
Race two saw Bacculum blow by on lap one and from there it was a quiet run home in 3rd.
Like Bird I equally thought that was it, but had to suit up again for race 3 :)
Race 3 was looking like a repeat of 2, with a clear track but a few laps in the smallest brush of the guard rail saw me spin dropping back to 11th.  I pushed hard and only in the dying laps caught a bunch of cars where I managed, with a bit of bumping, to get home in 7th.
Side Note: Bacchulum was pulling 0.4 in each banked curve in the same car which after some post race investigation I think I can put down to my car being noticeably lower and maybe dragging a bit on the banks!

Hadn't really done much practice or work on a set-up, spent most of my spare time in acc trying out the new cars with the new wheel.
R1 trying to make sure I leave plenty of room I clipped the rail coming on to main straight, bent steering, lapping rest of the race with blue after pit. Last
R2 at one point t-boned a spinner and had a drivable but slow car
R3 same as r2, bit of battling though which was cool. Had an unexpected tank slapper on the last lap which caught out some behind me, slowed on finish to let them all go by.
New wheel is good even on the old cars, although it just doesn't seem right racing an old f1 with an ultra modern rim.

Sorry, that was me that took you out at the banking.

My Lotus never liked the bumps on the high side of that first banking, the second banking was okay, and I'd been avoiding the high side of that turn all night. I saw you coming out of the pits and stay on the inside, so I thought I'll take a chance this one time on the high side to pass and give you plenty of room - I did think about coming low and making a risky close pass.  Unfortunately it didn't end well, even with all the anticipation of the unsettling and preparing to catch it, I hit the bump and my car instantly speared off down the banking right while you were next to me  :-[
