First race was learning the track. Second race much better but also had the advantage or having a bad first race and starting near the front. Good fun. A shame to loose it right at the end but my tyres were gone.

Was enjoyable even if T1 still confounded me after  the two races. Would have had a better race 2 finish if I did not get lost after the contact with Phil, we need a compass app for Assetto Corsa Wally!   ;D

Very interesting finish to Race 1

stracker shows that Mael beat me by 0.005!

5 Mael lotus_2_eleven 21:28.214
6 AJ ac_legends_lola_t290 21:28.219

ptracker on my side showed that I had just got in front by 0.065! I guess this is due to latency. Great race and great finish regardless! Also had a fun battle with Bruce for a few laps in the middle too.

Race 2 was also full of fun but unfortunately I had forgotten to load my setup after rejoining the server and I ended up about half a lap short on fuel! Apologies again for the crash this caused Wally.

Another enjoyable night even if I did come last in both races. I just live for the thrill of being surrounded by a pack of human drivers in different cars. The sound of the different cars is unmistakable as they come up behind you and being boxed in by several Lolas was just magic.

Congratulations to the podium people and it looks like Blievable has the championship just about sewn up, hang in there Bacchulum it is not over yet.

Roll on next week, apparently the Hockenheim track has pretty bad AI so I will need some human times to compare with.(hint,hint)

It was fun racing. Very busy, compared to last week which was really just with Mael. I tangled with a variety of people and cars last night (literally!).


Next week, can everyone please check your fuel before you start ;)

Not a favourite track, I have a little trouble with the very slow turns and loose rhythm each time. Had a great start and found my self running 8th, fought out my place as best as possible knowing others were a second or two faster overall. Had AJ working me for the mis race and I finally seccumed to mistake and fatigue started to kick in.
Great race from my perspective, like Denis, enjoying the mixed field, and the Lola, one that I wouldn't have chosen off my own volition.
Race 2, I was running on adrenaline, but a few minutes to think, I realised the radiotherapy had won and it was time to rest :)
See next week at the latest.
