rFactor 2 rFactor 2 F1 1979 Round 4 Silverstone 75 Race Reports & Screens

Good moning all,

Well, first of all sadly i want to announce that i'm gonna retire from this championship, the hour is not suitable for my family and personal tasks. The lack of practice (my setup was a mess) and the lack of trying/choosing other cars is also another reason, because when i'm no commited 100% in something i have no fun at all.

Talking about the race, i just want to apologise all guys that were involved in my first corner stupid mistake (lack of practice), but i was caught on the "kerb of death" and my car became uncontrollable, not really my intention or my usual behaviour while racing, so really, really sorry for that!

As i arrived in the server i saw people very fast, with very good lap times, i was nowhere near that performance, but i thought i had a chance in the race... so after the first corner incident my car became in really bad shape, had to pit and returned to the race with the determination to finish in the best possible position. With the wheel turning right the entire race, my front left tire overheating and the back end trying to escape all the time in slow corners, (oh boy that was really a challenge) ruined my wishes to finish in a top3. Anyway i managed to do a 5th position and that was really good for all that happened during this event.

Cheers all and good luck for the rest of the championship, it was a pleasure racing with you, we'll see each other again soon, maybe i'll keep doing the Euro F3 championship

P.S - I agree with Michal, i saw people going over grass lots of times, i agree everybody should have a chance, but seeing same guys on the grass i guess there should be a limit for a worthy driving skills from the admins part...

 

The race ended for me like this and not differently and now it does not matter to me
but if you introduce rules that are inconsistent with generally accepted rules and regulations, I would rather read about it on the forum early (I do not agree that this was the racing line, but I have different experience)
The same for the start. It was established that there is formation lap and ok, but as you can see the deviation in the previous event introduced a small confusion here
But with this there is no problem, because either there are lights, or there is a message that there is formation lap

 

Agree with Michal, every event or specific corner that people can go out (violating the rules), should be informed on the forum.

Example: "All drivers CAN GO wide on first corner" or "Nobody is allowed to go wide on (X) corner, allways 2 wheels on tarmac"

 

Just copied & pasted my race report in the right thread

Qualified in P9, finished in P6...my car got damage on the first lap by taking avoiding action and hitting the cones but at least the car was relatively ok to drive, right handers were my main issue. After a lap or so things settled down, in my hud I was keeping a steady eye on John (VD Geest), at first he was 17 seconds behind and was slowly but surely closing in on me, at one point John closed the gap to about 6 seconds and I was expecting a battle but then for some reason he fell back (assuming he had a spin), thereafter Luis caught back up..got passed and then went off...caught back up again and passed me again..Lol. Last lap was exciting when Rui had a go and made it through, all fair no problem although I was rather frustrated about a couple of peeps who wanted to unlap themselves which cost me time and probably 5th place in hindsight.

Next race I am taking the Williams

Regards,
Bret

 

Q: only P7 but I was driving on another track
R: P3

Start: I managed to get to t1, this time it was not good luck for others, thanks to which I had a calm and boring race. The track eliminated more drivers and so I climbed to the third position.

No preparation for the race, poor tactics and generally poor pace. Fuel for a lot, and the tires I used maybe 10% I should have taken soft tires

The fourth race, the fourth car, but due to the fact that the previous two races could not be completed, I will probably take Williams and Renault again.

Thanks for the race.

 

Race report








I had fun.

Over and out.

 

I was stupid.


Have to stop multitasking while racing.
Once I ate an apple during race and it slipped and hit esc.
Not to mention numerous beer can hssles...

This time I was just dreaming and crashed solo on a bloody straight line.

 

I hope you can join another one or two Rui, you never know you might get an opportunity if your personal tasks get done,take it as it comes.

I am also sorry that you overtook me on the last lap............

Regards,
Bret

 

Thanks Bret, let's see if it's possible, but not easy... anyway great fight on last lap, allways a pleasure when we fight with clean drivers

Good luck mate!

 

Missing the video and the Replay

 

Fair enough.
I also believe the safe zone will make things better. It has a cost, but until we get it right, it's the a good solution!

Just upload the replay when you get the chance, if you don't mind.
I would like to see it, always do
Thank you!
