Season 4 Round 2 - Eastern Creek Gardner GP - Chat
« on: April 03, 2015, 07:37:17 PM »
We'll run the server as a password server as we did for Round 1. Therefore anyone is welcome to join the FUN

Round 2 will be held Eastern Creek (Gardner GP Circuit).

This layout shows up in AC as just plain Eastern Creek but if you hover your mouse over the track selection panel you will see the layout name at the bottom of the panel. The track was updated by Rainmaker on about 22 March 2015 to support AC1.1

All, We'll run the server as a password server using the usual password.

Are we doing a reverse grid race 2 again? If using Wallys method would you not need a prebooked grid?

Reverse grid is a bit of faffing around to get setup. Gratulin may be able to get it set up by tonight, maybe not.

I could try it out as a test but the problem with doing it for Thursday's is that while the entry list is about 18 people only about 8-10 turn up each Thursday. That in itself is not a problem but there would be too many gaps in the grid.

We will still run race 2 as a non-points race with no quali. Feel free to "jocky" for the back of the grid  :-*

Server's up.

RACE is 10 laps - otherwise race is too long.

This was really good fun - I'm really warming up to these cars, they're fun and easy to drive. 
And this version of EK feels nice, too.

How I managed to get any points I dont know! But thanks for having me. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to compete around mid pack within a few weeks. Thanks for having me, appologies for the corner one shunt and looking forward to more laps!

eazy, not a problem at all. I think I may have tapped you in one of the corners :(

The racing is proving to be excellent in these cars. The only problem with first/second mayhem is that it can end up spreading the field too much. Better to stay bunched for the first lap or so without too much aggression. Then we get some good side-by-side racing.
