REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS ENTERED IN THIS RACE
It is a mandatory requirement that you install this App into Assetto Corsa for any AC races run at Simracingonline

 

Scott I'm not aware that we have encountered a problem with this App not closing with AC. At least it has not been reported to us that I know of.

 

Installed it now. Didn't know

 

24th March uk time reverts to BST
28th October uk clocks go back 1 hour to GMT.

 

We did not change the race time our clocks went forward 1 hour which is BST (british summer time)

 

Come on Zoltan, this message was posted everywhere on the site for days now, homepage, championship page, event page ... You really should have noticed.
It's standard on top of the site everywhere. Do you really think it's fair to be mad?

All event are now BST time so adjust your local time accordingly.

 

Only if you have registered with Liveracers I think (?)

EDIT Forget what I said, I see what you were referring to now Scott

 

In hindsight let me apologise to you Zoltan & Sandor. As I am the series Host I should have made it clearer what the implications of the Summer Time changes in Europe this weekend would mean for this series. It's easy for us to assume that everyone who has been simracing on long-running websites before and have International members from around the world, would've understood that the race start time of 18:00 is the ACTUAL time in the UK, whether winter or summer, irrespective of clock changes.

I would very much like to see you participate with us in this series and look forward to seeing you on track at the next round.

 

Qual;
I thought I had the pole and came in early, but then Ken Jagger pulled a great lap from somewhere and I started second.

Race;
Starting the race, Ken was pulling away a bit as I still was calibrating into the race and letting everything warm up. Came under attack from third place, but luckely held my position.
When I felt relaxed with the car, it was time to knock on the backdoor of my good friend Ken. He was going like the wind, so only in the second part of the race I found a change to try a pass on him, but he was still too fast and late on the brakes to make it work. When I finally did pass him, I went off the track the next lap and was second again.

There wasn't much time left, so I decided to push really hard now. Ken left a little gap and squeezed past.
Have to say, outstanding speed from Ken and I could not let up for 1 second. It was 60 minutes of qualy haha.

 

It makes a big change to be so competitive against you John
It was very intense trying to run for 60 mins without leaving a sniff of an opening for you. When I did make my 1st mistake at T4 and slid back onto the track clipping the back of yours, I slowed up to give you the position back, but it looked like you decided to accept the contact as a racing incident and dropped in behind me to continue the battle. Very sportsmanlike so thank you for that

I just wish you had done the same for me when later in the race you clipped the rear of my car sending me onto the grass, finally losing the position to you, but maybe you didn't see/feel the contact? I had a chance to challenge you again after catching up, but by then I was feeling the lower grip from the tyres and couldn't push it harder. Eventually a spin put paid to our race-long duel and I had to settle for 2nd position.

Fingers crossed we can do it again sometime!

 

Ah, that second contact ... I know it's hard to see for you where I was at that point. My nose was along side your rears, and I was almost with 2 wheels on the grass. Look at the white line to the right of your car for reverance. You will notice that your car slightly moved over to my side when my nose was there already. I did also wait for you then (or 1 incident earlier? Can't remember when) when you spun,

Fun race, give me more of that

 

I think you meant to put this in the Interlagos race thread?

From my many years experience Sean, it's not just about setup. I've tried setups from guys considered to be Aliens and I just couldn't drive them! You really need to find a setup that works for you and your driving style and accept that some guys will just be plain faster, no matter what you do :O

I'm happy to share my Interlagos setup with you, which is almost identical to the one I used at the Chinese GP race. Send me a Pm with your email address and I'll send you it.
