As they say, anything can happen and usually does.  Unless it's F1 which changes to "rarely does".

Will miss this one as well. May be good for the start of the next season provided there's the usual break in between.

 Anyone having trouble connecting to the practice server.  I re installed the track from the link, but just get a brief black loading screen then back to launcher.
Same result from both AC and Content Manager.

I just updated the track on the server in case it needed it and restarted the server

Can't get it to work off line either!  Starts to load, then drops back to launcher.
Have re installed again  . . .
No errors given.

Unfortunately I have no idea because after looking at ptracker others have set times so must be able to get on and I can get in offline and online :(

No problems here either, just did some laps on server. I seem to remember a post a while back where
someone had to cull some tracks from their Tracks folder because of problems?? (too many tracks) just a thought.

Try: Settings\Custom Shaders Patch\Tracks Configs...Install all entries...then disable 'Install automatically'*
Same for: Settings\Custom Shaders Patch\Tracks VAO
*Disable 'Install automatically' for all the entries underneath 'Patch'

Mine won't start either.

Great season, Wally and good last race.  This track is very nice.

It was a bit frustrating for me; last week I kept gaining positions, this week I kept losing them - I just could not keep it consistent. 
Still, a good night's racing.

Good round for me after a couple of rounds getting caught up in others misfortunes. Some great racing with Freezer and Bird and some good pressure in race 3 from AB.

Congrats GB and thanks for another season Wally the effort is much appreciated.

Unexpected good result for me. It really does seem the less practice the better for me in these cars.  A cas of not overthinking it.

Three good races mainly watching for Freezer and Joe in all 3. Was fairly happy with 2 passes on the outside in race 1 to set up the night. Had a few fun laps with Joe in R3 before the slippery last turn caught me out.

Finally sorted my start issues so got to spend a few minutes in the lofty heights of being able to see the leaders in the last race before deciding not to try and destroy my race by trying to do the impossible ‘32s!

Thanks for another well run season - here’s hoping numbers stay high for S29.

Post by: Wally on June 26, 2019, 08:12:33 AM
Thanks for the thanks  :)

That was my best round. I finally got a nice stable setup that wasn't too oversteery. I stiffened my load cell brake which gave me more confidence and control in braking. I also focussed on corner exits (slow in, fast out), and looked further down the track when cornering rather than focussing on the apex. All in all, I felt I drove much better.

Race 2 was oddly lonely, even though I was mid field. Race 3 was excellent, sandwiched between Bird and Freezer. I was really expecting Bird to pass at some stage. Race 1 was also good - I actually passed Mael and Bacchulum without them making a mistake.

It was good to see some stiff competition up front between Guybrush, Kcender and Phil.

Thank you Wally for running the season and gratz to GB on the win.

I came into this round with high hopes as it is the only track so far that i have known so was expecting good midfield racing, not to be however. i'm guessing after a 13 yr break from sim racing it going to take time to get back up to speed and consistency . After about 20 laps practice i was into the 36's then in the next 200+ laps of practice i broke into the 35's only a hand full of times. Feel like the old fast bowler that can only come in off a few steps and roll the arm over.
 
First race hit a wall stuffed up my steering so pitted , then decided to fix up my graphics settings to stop stuttering ready for race two.

Race two got a good start then spun in a stupid spot , tries to chase down Dave O but as soon as i got close i would spin off again.

Race three a stop and go for a jump start, was the highlight.

I know how you feel Jarmel, I couldn't find any pace at all here and I really like the track  ::) Was a shame you kept spinning
was enjoying having someone to race with. See what next season brings  ;D Cheers Dave O.

We can only hope next season's car is a bit easier to drive!  Thought I had the car sorted for this race but it handled like a dog during the race. At least Russ kept me company, his setup looked as bad as mine.

Yeah  Mael, hoping for something a little more forgiving its been fun tho in between the frustration , The Gpl cars around Deutschlandring were awesome fun and a reminder of just how great GPL was play .  I've actually loaded that track up a few times with the Mclaren just for the joy factor

Dave O yeah was a fun trying to catch you . Was that you i tried to out brake at the hair pin but i had to end up flooring it to get out of the way ?

Bit annoying that my pedals stopped working properly on the last lap otherwise I would of got second in the championship, They had  some response but like maybe 25% input, so I just pulled over :(

anyway I discovered that the dog I presume had at some point chewed through the usb cable, so I was probably lucky to get as far as I did

Race 1 I got away OK - had to cover off Phil as I know his car has some grunt so I worked my way over the the inside.  Got through corner 1 and 2 OK but was off with the fairies in the fast left right which let KCender through.  Followed KCender for the rest of the race which was very enjoyable trying to pass.

Race 2 was basically the same as Race 1 with me following KCender around, but had a few better tussels I think where it got pretty close at times.  Great racing.

Race 3 I managed to get past KCender out of T1 and around T2.  Then worked on building a gap and maintaining it which seemed to do the trick.  I think the Ferrari had the advantage around this track.

Thanks for the season Wally.  I think I've had some of the most enjoyable races on a Tuesday night in memory.  Old Monza swapping places with Phil the whole race was a particular highlight, followed by the first two races on this track.  Just driving the first 2/3s of the Deutschlandring or whatever it's called was also a highlight.  That track was awesome in these cars.

Glad to have managed to finish the points table at the sharp end, but KCender had the pace this season and I was pretty lucky he had a couple of rounds off.  Great racing though, despite me getting back in the grove and tapping a few more people than I'd like, so good to be back.  Looking forward to the next one.
