On getting going again I was charging ahead but on lap 3 got hooked up with DaveO and hit the fence, completely taking out the left front. Limped back and repaired but really to far behind to make a come back.R2 This was much better. Although I did run into the rear of the pile up on lap one I was able to make good progress. I had Jeremy hard on my tail for a number of laps before slipping through and only a small error near the end the only blemish. I didn't realise that I was getting cuts (app issues) so copped a 10 sec penalty post race which cost me two spots.All up, the DRS was very good and certainly adds some spice to the racing trying to chase people down....

Just warnings as we got used to how it should work (I sent a PM to someone who was clearly doing it wrong). But see the RBR thread - next round there will be penalties.I didnt get home til very late last night with road works everywhere and a delay in the flight. With DRS it would be good to see in results any illegal uses but also not giving a penalty to those clearly using it all race is a big disadvantage to those that did. I think people running out front at faster then their qualy pace likely used it every lap in race 2. After getting used to the DRS app, people used it well. There was only one guy who wasn't using it properly, who was not on TeamSpeak and so probably misunderstood. Yes, I'll aim to display a bit more DRS info in the race results.

I tried to leave enough room butthat corner tends to take you wide.

So from there I was doing qual laps trying to bring down the 4 sec gap to jeremy and phil, i realised i didnt set the tyre pressures for my incoming so i stayed out to lap 17 or so to reduce the hurt lol, i tried slowly driving in the pit lane to adjust the pressure but my box was to close to the pit entrance so it was in vein and it cost me coming out of the pits in front of jeremy and phil. Car handled crap with the over pressured tyres but i then saw jeremy got a time pen so now phil was leading in front of me so that built the motivation to pass and i got him in the drs zone and that was that Race 2 got a nice clean start and picked people off 1 by 1 until i got to p2 and saw kcender to far out the front with good pace so i settled for p2 A far simpler race compared to race 1 but all good fun!DRS app was a nice touch too Logged do you even motorsports? grat Hero Member Posts: 1174 Karma: 16 Re: S17R1: Imola Post Race Chat « Reply #24 on: May 31, 2017, 06:53:06 PM » Quote from: Mael on May 31, 2017, 10:25:23 AMHey Grat, you owe me a position for the race 1 punt Maki Engineering would have finished ahead of DA Racing if it was not for that strategic accident.Yeah,... sorry again about that.
