3 x 16 lap sprints.
If you already had this track, it was updated Sep 26, 2019, so it might pay to check that you've got the latest version.

That looks a little easier than Zandvoort :D hopefully less bumpy also
-
Can't wait to get back into racing after dealing with a customers crypto virus the last 2 weeks. Might have to drive the car before round 1 which will be a nice change.

I'm hoping it was zandvoort that made passing hard and not the cars. You seem to be able to have good close racing but making a pass was near impossible. If you fell back a bit too seemed very hard to catch up.

I think that was very much Zandvoort, where it's always hard to pass. Mind you, I did swap positions with Phil and Mael a bit in the last race. Slovakiaring should be easier to pass, especially at the sweeping corners either end of the layout.

I suspect qualifying is going to be important in this series, and Milli-seconds will be important at Slovakiaring. Any time lost while battling will never be made up :)

There's a long straight, will drafting come into it?

As long as Mr "I don't need traction control" is there at least there will be someone to pass as he spins off

LOL Joe.
I reckon people will have different exit speeds from that very long last sweeping corner onto the straight, and there will be moves at turn 1, perhaps with the aid of a tow.

Can we have a highlight video of you pitstop Wally, just as educational purpose on how well Audi's TC works ;D

Hey Wally, lots of real life distractions atm...will join in race 2 or 3.
Have fun :)

OK, Killa.
Server's up.

Results are up.

Sorry for the bump wally. Misjudged your exit speed.
I was feeling good until near the end of race 2. Not sure what changed but I was getting slower then race 3 was a shit show spinning off twice.

These things are really tough to race. I can’t remember the last time I felt so tired after a couple of shortish sim races....When everyone was spinning off the track at the start of race 1 I was just waiting of them hit me as well, but they didn’t and I managed to go from 9th to 4th in one lap! Had the race been called at the end of lap 4 I would have been really excited but as expected the faster guys managed to recover and eventually made their way around me. Mael, I don’t know how you could get your car to stick on the outside of turn 1 and still overtake, because I was struggling just to make the corner, but kudos to you.
Race 2 I got a so, so start and managed to catch up to Wally for a bit until I got a bit of a hip and shoulder bump at the last corner which sent me heading off into the pits at warp factor 9. I managed to avoid entering the pits at race speed (& the speeding penalty) but I still managed to get a curb strike....hmmmmm. As we discussed post race, there really wasn’t much in it but it became apparent that these cars have a fairly large blind spots when running side by side. Whilst I run triples and even when using my look right/left buttons I was struggling to see cars level with my b-pillar and Wally didn’t know I was there. I’m not sure how we address this but it’s certainly something to be mindful of during close battles as the season progresses. After my recovery I managed to catch up to AGK and Simone and had some of the closest racing I’ve ever been part of. For many, many laps the three of us were nose to tail and it was only in the last lap or two that due to various mistakes we were able to pass one another. I then followed Simone home as we were lapping within a couple of thousands of a second the whole race but I never really could get close enough to try a pass.
Race 3 was more of the same, super close battles with Simone which was made even more stressful by Freezer and Mael taking each other out meaning we were battling for a top 5 finish. Due to the nature of these cars my brain space was empty by races end and I think I managed to over cook my front tyres which forced me to run wide at turn 1 and lose 4th...never the less a top 5 finish is like a win for me!
I think this is going to be a season of inches and it will be interesting to see what effect the weight penalties will have on next weeks racing.

A racing accident after a few mt and a disco put my racing noight in the gully.Turned out my 16 years old son was downloading cod patch+watching netflix!!!! After that i never recoverd and i knew it. But i had a ball regardless fighting Bradc and AGK ...good stuff!!I I am a bit disappointed after qual 4th i was expecting more but i am already sharping the knife for the next encounter.

I think you need a custom skin with a prominent sponsor:
