    I'm totally puzzled about my lack of speed here. I was running low drag and high radiator taping but I was still 7 to 8 km/hour down on everyone else. Cars were passing me like I was standing still. Well one driver tried to go right through me (twice) but I guess everyone read about that from his point of view :)

    Are all cars equal in this mod ?

    Maybe another track to add to my bogey list. Unfortunately Monza is already in that list :(

    I'm not a mod expert Paul however, I was running 10 rear wing & 5 front with 0 radiator taping for what that's worth. There is a app called CarStat that can determine what various performance aspects of the cars are which I find useful...Optimal brake/Tyre temps, maximum safe engine temps etc. What wings were you running out of interest?

    Think I was running 6 rear and 4 front. Would check but rF2 takes soooo long to fire up and not going there now.

    I was running front 2 and rear 4 wing. Radiatortape 40%.
    Race1: was running top6 or somewhere there when I had a incident that dropped me out of reach for top 4.
    Race2: pretty good start, but on the second lap I hit a spinner while in P5 I think. That put me all the way back as it was only lap 2.

    It's a pretty good mod, and I like the big grid for it. But I think some drivers are so focused keeping the car on the road, that they don't have concentration / space left to be aware of their surroundings. I ques they don't mean to hit anybody, it's just that they need all their concentration for their own preformance and don't know what's going on around them.
    It's something you have to practise.

    BTW, team GEAR is still in first place after all that :D

    Being able to rejoin the race after a network interruption is enabled for the benefit of our members. We are here to have fun and if you have the ability to rejoin the race, then you have rejoined the fun. Our mission is to provide the best racing environment possible.

    I've also seen the benefits of this feature where innocent drivers are involved in major accidents that caused cars to leave the track. F1 79 Zolder, lap 1 is a good example. Some drivers were able to rejoin the race. We practice hard for a race and being able to rejoin is a benefit I think most drivers will eventually enjoy. If a driver finds a way to exploit this feature and then uses that exploit to gain an advantage, then nothing we can do to prevent. But I would strongly recommend that driver find another site to race at because they will never be compatible with the majority of fair and like minded drivers at SRO.

    Race 1, after a good start from 10th place, I was 22nd after the chicane.
    Probably I was just too considerate and in the middle of chaos.
    At the end place 11, a good race!

    Race 2, a good start from 8th place, but in round 2 I was pushed hard into the wall.
    Unfortunately, in my anger I missed the fact that not all vehicles had passed me yet.
    So I was standing too early as barikade in the middle of the street.
    Sorry to Alexandr Meshkov, you didn't have a chance to dodge.

    After a slow drive to the box and an endless repair there was still place 18.

    Thanks to the many fair drivers in this big field.

    Yes bad fortune. But this is racing. I was amazed that you can race after all that damage. :)
    Standing in middle of track it's not a problem if driver hold brakes and not moving around before cars successfully passed. I had theoretically chance but saw you moved car and that forced me to change direction to other side of track, sadly there was debris on track, probably front wing that I run over and start slightly loosing control to the car. :)

    Q1, Q2: P2, P2

    R1: P2

    R2: P10
    A bad start, and then I was impatient, on the second lap Mark surprised me with the braking point ... catastrophe, John falls on me ... catastrophe. I'm falling from P2 to P22.
    The pursuit lasts for a short time because I set the cooling down poorly and I had to drive slower, on average about 20 km / h I lost about 3s per lap ... catastrophe.

    I misinterpreted% cooling. In the first race I had a bad set and in the second one even worse ... catastrophe ;)

    Congratulations to Andrea Sammartino
