This track has 24 pit boxes, so I'll be dropping Grat, Gratulin and JamieP.

I can't really see how this is going to be good for Tuesday night. I remember this track from one time we did it on a Thursday and it was fun but it had its quirks.

We've had some pretty tough and 'easy to wreck' tracks this season, and while I've enjoyed that challenge this one is the most challenging yet I'd say.

In maybe the last 30 mins of practice I've done the suspension about 8 times just from clipping a curb. I've flipped the car on it's roof twice and back to the pits, again just from clipping a curb. Though the park bit there is a big pond with no surface, and twice I got loose hit a curb and fell through the pond, then back to the pits. Also twice had some really weird damage; I hit a hay bale pretty lightly and tried to reverse, had no power and next thing my engine was gone, then had the same thing happened again but my rear left was gone completely and I couldn't move.

I'm not even pushing it at the moment either, and with this much carnage just on my own I can't really imagine what will happen with other cars around  :o

Yes, it's going to be a difficult round. I like to have one challenging track in the season, where you'll have to be more cautious than normal. It's all part of mixing things up and it's a chance to reward drivers for other skills rather than speed. Someone's going to win each of the three races!

But I did turn damage down to 10% for this one, as like Joe said, there are some weird impacts with hay bales that suddenly destroy your engine.

It's not an easy track (caution, turn the sound down first, lest your brain be fried by the soundtrack).

But here's how it should be done (in the wet, no less):

Definitely a track to do some practice laps on. Bravery can bring good lap times but usually ends in tears  ;D

This just happened to me with the 10% damage after a slow 360 spin onto the grass through that left right section. I just let the car come to a stop, then tried to pull back onto the track and it just went into a crazy spin until the right rear went.

Are you able to race this round Jamie? If so, I can drop someone else who can't make it.

This seemed to happen to some peeps at Imola too. I haven't had it happen to me and I can't think of what is causing it. You're in the Ferrari Joe? Has it only happened to members in this car?

The hay bales are sticky like the walls in Imola, maybe that has something to do with it?

I didnt even go near a hay bale that last one just a 360 spin onto the grass. And yup in the Ferrari.

I had a run in the Ferrari last night and after a spin at the top of of the hill opposite the lake, engine was gone and rear left tyre fully red (on damage display).
Weirdly, as I was coming to a stop the engine revved flat out despite not touching the throttle . . . then blew!

Wonder if there is something about this track making it happen more frequently. I haven't had the issue anywhere else but I've had it happen 4 or 5 times here and one was the slightest of spins onto grass where I didn't even hit anything.

Getting the fastest lap time is a good strategy - the safest place is going to be out in front!

race 1 and 2 I just had bad luck and kept running into spinning cars

race 3 was great; had a really good battle with AGK including going around the T2 hairpin side by side a couple of times. Unlucky you spun off AGK as I was enjoying it. After that I closed in on Mael but it's so hard to make a pass anywhere so just sat right behind him trying not to run in to him in his slow ass car

Not a great night for me. Too many hits on walls, collisions with hay bales, and that dropped lap in race 1 that saw me blue flagged when I was actually fighting for position. I let one car (Rob) through under blue flag, but then thought "Hang on, where did I go a lap down?".

Race 2 was a shocker. I was driving like a peanut, hitting walls, going off track and spinning and breaking my car due to the Ferrari bug, so I quit and came back in and followed a few guys a lap down.

Race 3 was good fun though.

Post by: Freezer on June 19, 2019, 09:51:37 AM
The only plan tonight was to survive.  A PB in qualifying saw me still starting mid pack which highlighted my tentative approach
to this track!  Unfortunately in R1 and R2 I had tangles on both opening laps.  R1 saw Mael give me a small tap at T3, and I moved slightly
right off the start grid to bang wheels with a fast starting Wally in R2 which saw me at the back for both races.
However as I carefully avoided many other peoples incidents I managed to get home with the car in one piece in P9 for both.
R3 saw a much cleaner start and a P8 finish, but I like many had my share of hay bails and hairy moments, but a conservative
approach saw an overall 7th for the night which with the crazy times some were achieving, I was pretty happy with.

Congratulations to Phil on the round win and Bird on the podiums.  And to KCender, but he is always too bloody quick!

It was really enjoyable when racing in a bunch, I just couldn't really guage when someone was going to be slower or faster at various parts of the track which led to a few taps.

Interestingly, the Ferrari seemed faster in the tight twisty bits but lost out on the straights.  Particularly the last sector compared to the Lotus and Brabham or whatever Phil was driving.  Made for good yo-yo racing.

Interesting findings Seanus. That explains why I'm not winning the championship. We'll just put up with it for 1 more round. Okayama is much more forgiving.

The night started good with a solid 8th place qualifying. But a innocuous little touch with my team mate followed by a vicious attack by Joe on my poor Honda  meant the first race was a disaster, finished many laps behind the aliens. (Absolutely nothing do do with the terrible driving on my part  ;D)

The next two race were much better, just tried to stay out of trouble. Ended up getting the most consistent lap times for the two races which makes me wonder what everyone else was doing!
