It's looking like it might be a damp track on Tuesday.

Did a few laps yesterday using last week's setup and getting low 1:03s so still some practice to do. Once again a more realistic feeling track to the other mods, lumpy and odds cambers make it interesting. tapatalk on an °[●●]° Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."

Will have to see if it lags or not. Hopefully not...

Spent the whole night blaming Optus, got EGG on my face big-time now.

The racing was pretty wild on this track, nice and close, but damn hard to pass anywhere. I spent a lot of the three races on someone's bumper, hoping for a mistake really. That's about all you could do. I was passed by David G with an inside move on the last turn, and I passed him at T1 only to run wide and give the place straight back. They were about the only passing places, unless someone ran a bit wide at the hairpin. Sorry for the hit at the hairpin David G. I just didn't allow enough braking distance. It was one of those Oh Shoot braking moments where you hope you're going to pull up in time. I was pretty disappointed to have hit you. Overall, there were very, very few contacts in this round. It was very clean from that point of view. I think it was race 1, Tim, where I hope I wasn't too rude at T1.I was trying to keep it in tight on the inside and allow racing room, but I ended up drifting wide on exit, in front of you, I think.

Re: Round 4: Oulton Park Fosters Race Chat « Reply #10 on: February 26, 2014, 09:18:57 AM » Certainly frustrating Imp, you purchase things and understandably expect it to be working Great night for me, i had been practicing using the setup from the forum and was often in the 1:03s but in prac last night I just randomly grabbed a setup, reverted the gearing to the other setup and found a 1:02... named the setup "Nice", so that's it for the rest of the season. Race 1 saw me driving too hard when a slipped off the leaders, but race 2 with clean air, Tim (and I, I hope), being very gentlemanly at turn 2 saw me put my head down and drive my race coming home for a win, kowabunga! (Not going to mention the lack of ballast ).Race 3 went exceptionally quickly, it is a bit of fuzzy now, but overall a great nights racing. Thanks all, see you next week Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."

From there it was pits and stay out of the way.This meant starting from the back in R2, which whilst I was picking up the pace, passing was very hard..R3 three was a slight improvement in position but again I chased Dave Oshea hard and was able to stick the nose alongside a few times but never enough to get past. I applied maximum pressure but Dave held strong.As Wally mentioned, we were very close at times but no touches so it was good.Note: Suprised my 256kb shaped internet speed held up so well . . not what I expected.

Couldn't see the lights for R1 and totally muffed the start.. luckily no one hit me 6th was better thanI thought I'd manage. R2 had some great battles for a better result. R3 got a magic start, but became a real white knuckle ride trying to keep Glen behind me. Made a few little mistakes in a few places, and full credit to Glen we managed to avoid contact and taking each other out. Thanks all another great night. Dave O.

(I got a get-out-of-jail-free card there, my tyres were baked!)Race 3 started unfortunately, it was only the slightest of taps Wally but it was when I was right on the limit, so bad timing more than anything.I ended up having a race long battle with Jamie, managed to get up the inside a few times but never seemed to have the punch to get on to the next straight.(All this only made possible by some mistakes from Jamie, he was ultimately quicker than me )I'm kind of surprised it was my best round, this car handles nothing like an MP4-12c GT3.........

I haven't done any laps at Oulton Park since Toca Touring Cars 3 so that didn't bode well and I think it shoed in my complete lack of consistency. Having a practice day of over 100 laps in the kart didn't help either. It seems to have hurt my sim racing since the feedback is just not the same.I started race 1 in the middle of the pack with my steering 1 turn to the right. Doh!!!!!!! Got moving and was getting into a rhythm and managed to flip the car on it's side over the ripple strip. Came home last of the runners, I think.Keen not to repeat the mistake from race 1 I lined up for the start and ended up my steering being 1 turn to the left. <<Insert facepalm here>>> moved my way up the field and ended up 4th thanks to the mistakes of 3 cars in front on the final lap.Race 3 saw me start from pole and not much of an advantage when you cannot see the start lights . I made a bad start and plenty of silly little mistakes but managed to hold up Dave for the race thanks to my lack of ballast. Ended up having a ball and enjoyed the battle of race 3 immensly Logged Print Pages: 1 2 « previous next » Xtreme Gaming Network / Simulation Racing Leagues / netKar PRO (Moderator: Wally) / Round 4: Oulton Park Fosters Race Chat
