LOL, you're beautiful Simone.

Freezer, "I changed both roll bars one click each direction". What does that mean? One click each direction means you didn't change them

Grat, it's a given that two computers time-separated will see a different reality.   That's why a really good netcode is really important in these games.

I can report a very happy evening for myself, the two 4th positions were better than I dared to hope for. 

Quali did not go too well, I've lost 3 laps due to cuts, the only remaining wasn't the hottest (it was a second slower than my fastest race lap in R1!)
but it was enough for a 7th position start.

R1 I had some great battles & close & clean racing. 

R2 I was interestingly very fast early on (comparatively speaking) and managed to stick to the top guys, however, after the pit I met Simone and in that little tangle I've lost enough that I was nowhere near anymore.  And with that it seems my concentration has gone out the window as well.    Plus I think the Nissan was actually quite good in slippery conditions here - not *that* good when the grip went up.   

Still, 4th is very good in this strong field

You had very good speed in the Nissan, a couple of seconds on the rest of us. I ended up using a little more TC to make the car more predictable powering out of corners - about 2/12.

I was also finding a bit of a bog down between 1st and second gears, coming out of the final bus stop corner.

Driver's Briefing

This is the final round, and the second of the enduros, same format as the round we did at Mugello.

The format is a single race of 34 laps (about 1 hr), after a qualifying session. 2.5x fuel, and 3x tyres.

There are TWO compulsory pit stops, where you can refuel, change tyres or repair. The pit window for the two CPS is laps 6 and 23. You can pit outside the pit window if you need to make repairs, or splash 'n dash, but you must do two pit stops in the pit window. DQ if you don't.

Earliest you can enter pit lane is at the end of lap 6. The latest you can pit is the end of lap 23.

The scoring is a little different in these format rounds: additional points (50 down to 1) are awarded for your position at the end of lap 14. So bear that in mind when you pit.

Weather: 18 and Clear

I think everything went fine with the starts. That is good.

Unfortunately the grat-jeremy epic continues. I am really sorry for Jeremy in race 1. I think he hit the curb inside blanchimont and slowed down, but the strange thing is that I did what I could to avoid hitting him and I was sure I did, as there was no contact on my screen (I mean, damages). But his car moves exactly as if I hit him (mine goes absolutely straight). From my replay, there is surely no contact... I don't know: really strange.

I can post a link to my replay if some of you wants to see if it is a ping issue or whatever else (and if I find my  usb-drive)

I looked at that too (the new contact report makes these things easy to find now).
In race 1, it looked like Grat just ran straight into the back of Jeremy.
In race 2, I saw it that Grat and Jeremy both came out of the final corner side by side, by Jeremy didn't leave enough racing room to his right, and squeezed across into Grat, spinning him.

The contact reports in the server logs are mysterious. All they really tell you is where an incident happened and between who - then you have to look at the replay to see what really happened.

Thanks Wally. But please have a look at my replay. That is how I can see, and I manage to avoid him completely. I am on my line at Blanchimont (which for me is flat out no matter what) and he slows down because he touches the inside curb. At that point I lift and brake and swerve to the right. I looked at it from all corners and slowed down to 12x. There is absolutely no contact and my car does not react whatsoever to any contact. I am not making a polemic here of any sort, of course. I just want to understand if what is going on is that the code for contacts being local, small differences in ping can make so that one local run sees a contact while the other does not (and hence the differences in the contacts log explained!)

I am sure that if we compare my replay and Jeremy's one, they will look different. There will be clearly a contact in his one and clearly no contact in my one. That is why each local run decides different things!

Yes, it would be interesting to compare the replays. I can't do it now. In my replay, it looked like you just ran into the back of him. Maybe Marty can do a comparison video

RACE RESULTS (also includes contact report)

No penalties.

An observation about the race 2 start: Simone hit the side of Christopheraser because Simone didn't stay on his side of the track at T1, moving across to the left of the track.

We should ask KS to build that into the game... otherwise it's not a racing sim.
