But eventually, that 2nd hit caused your off. I felt I've left you enough room, but for some reason the cars seem to drift sideways, as I said, in a weird fashion.

I put in some consistant quick laps but winning race 1 was nowhere near as much fun as race 2.Race 2 starting from the back was probably the most fun Ive had racing in AC so far. Pretty darn good racing all round with lots of side by side and 3 wide action that somehow turned out fune nearly all the way around. Almost avoided contact all race but sadly spun Stan on the last lap. He just got in the grass on exit which slowed him a touch and tapped his rear slightly which looped him. We had a pretty epic battle for pretty much the entire race going side by side in sections I didnt think were possible. Dont even remember what place I finished maybe 4th but this was so much more fun then winning race 1. Would love a season with 2 races in same class cars cars with race 2 being a reverse grid of a similar distance to tonights races.

Was up for a very quick lap last lap of last race but then unfortunatly gave Stan a tap which ended that lap but yea way too much action for laptimes that race for the mpst of it. About 2 seconds a lap slower when you run a full lap side by side with Stan I think.Im uploading a full race video from race 2, was some epic racing there from my position on track. Shame you missed out on the races Wobbly hope to race you next week at the creek. Probably best to make sure you have the track a day before incase RD gets silly slow again. « Last Edit: April 02, 2015, 11:11:37 PM by marty » Logged Wobblyone Jr. Member Posts: 186 Karma: 2 Adrenalin is brown...

It ended up possible but took nearly half a lap to complete the moves. But a small error loses the momentum and then your a sitting duck.

Got home at 7pm after a 28 hour transit and literally couldn't keep my eyes open as soon as I sat down. The good news is that I'm now wide awake at 12:30am!

We can adjust the allocation of championship points keep it interesting. The idea I have is to "flatten" the points allocation table eg.Positions 1 - 5 get 20 pointsPosiitions 6 - 10 get 15 pointsPositions 10 onwards get 10 pointsObjective would be to allow "racing" and "finishing" to take priority over "winning".Thursday's are about fun, close battles rather than the championship ladder. Tuesday's are reserved for "proper" league tables etc. Logged Print Pages: 1 2 3 4 « previous next » Xtreme Gaming Network / Simulation Racing Leagues / Assetto Corsa / Thursday Nights fun racing (Moderators: Gratulin, Phil.8, Joe, Seanus) / Season 4 Round 1 Donington Pre-race
