Thursday Nights fun racing / Re: Salzburgring - post race chat...« on: August 22, 2014, 04:02:45 PM »
Yeah. Great fun. Really works to have a second "fun" series using some of the older/slower cars. Hope Historix or P&G arrive on AC eventually.
I got some good results by not spinning Also, highlight of the evening was passing Bird - not once but THREE TIMES. I am sure he will tell you that he passed me 3 times but that is NOT how I prefer to remember it 2012

Maybe you don't need to stress too much about 'levelling the field'. From my point of view ( and I stress only talking about my own position ) I am very happy with how the races are panning out ie I don't need/want any handicapping help. By this I don't mean that I am against what is planned with the cars etc. I am just trying to say that as a driver in the middle-to-back of the pack I am happy with the racing as it is so don't worry about getting my part of the field too accurate.

I do remember the z4 being quite a bit worse then all the other cars there but I was able to match some guys driving the lotus elise s2 having to fight very hard to hang on to the evora gte. But the lotus is very slow in straights its very good in corners, the z4 is very slow and also the worst car in corners so it may be a bit too far behind the others I think.Don't worry Marty - you'll be in the same car as Guybrush so nothing will change for you 2016

Race 1 totally forgot about cold hards and 97% grip and went into Parabolica flat out. Would have been alright if it affected just me but I also took out nearly everyone on my tail! Apologies. But lesson learned. Again
Race 2 I was more careful. Had a couple of tight battles which were pretty entertaining - hope my close driving is getting better. There were a couple of clips with other cars while fighting for corners. I think they were just racing incidents but appreciate any feedback if not. Very enjoyable yet again. Great series. 2017

Sounds good. Perhaps most of the field gets a Lotus and the fast guys get the Abarth 500

We could do a rolling start - just follow the pole sitter around for the first lap with no overtaking until the start finish line. Turn 1 would probably still be mayhem....

Australian Assetto Corsa League, Tuesday nights / Re: Round 3: Mugello Race Chat« on: August 13, 2014, 04:34:43 PM »....at one stage I nearly combined my front nose with Gratulins gearbox, he scared the crap out of me braking harder than expected but I managed to avoid it....Ha ha! I blame you for tailgating me and making me nervous Seriously, I had that corner (turn 4?) totally wrong the whole week and never realised it until you almost tapped me so sorry for the incorrect early/heavy brake. Seems everyone else was simply lifting there? I seemed to pull away in turns 2 and 3 so never had anyone on my tail through turn 4 until you showed up. I heard Rob, I think, calmly explain his cornering technique halfway through the race after he almost got tail ended 2024

Have to agree - a great night's racing. Either everyone is giving me a wide berth or I am getting better (more relaxed?) driving in traffic.
Race 1 start was really good since I was mid pack and worried that I would get tangled up in turn 1 but everyone seemed super aware of other cars and we got through it without incidents (?). I then just tried to keep consistent and keep a lookout for the clouds of smoke that kept appearing. My race position kept improving each time I passed one of these clouds - not sure if this is a bug? Pretty happy with my finish but it was very much "inherited". In Race 2 I got a fantastic start. Not sure what happened but the cars ahead of me all pushed over to the left and I had to go right. Ended up with clear track ahead and ended up 5th after turn 1 from about 11th on the grid. Then I was sweating because I had all these fast guys hunting me (I won the most hunted award!). Man, that was pretty intense watching out for cloud ahead and overtaking cars behind. Luck I had my new quadraphonic sound so I could hear the angry buzzing of the cars coming up behind me I also never really felt comfortable with the car in the second race - forgot about the track grip starting low and lost confidence in my hard tires. Managed to finish 10th I think due to more cloud bugs. Thoroughly enjoyable to be in the mix. Seemed to me that having more severe consequences of spinning (ie getting beached) leveled the field a bit in this race. Is that what others also felt from this round? |
