Round 1 | Spa Francorchamps

Done a quick skin for my Corvette




I've based this skin on this Historic Porsche



Hope you like it. Thought it was funny. Aceeeeeeed!

 

Not feeling too well today... Will still make it to the race but I hope I can hold up the whole 90 minutes.

 

Apologies, I'm still having colossal issues with my wheel and Windows 10.

RF2 wouldn't pick up the steering axis. Odd as it seemed all ok in Assetto Corsa last night.

Just can't get my PC to accept the Fanatec drivers, keeps replacing them with Windows versions.

The game was treating both left and right on the wheel as the same so I couldn't assign the steering controls.

John if you wish to remove me from the league I understand, don't wish to waste anyone's time.

Going to dig out my old Windows 7 laptop to just make sure it's not the wheel rather than the drivers.

 

Wasnt your fault Alex!!!!

Dont know whats wrong but car is not going fast on straights...aeropackages and all ok.
Think its the graphics and fact that computer just dont run it so it slows down.

 

Hello, I can send a racing incident to myself . position 373

 

game froze on me. painful

 

Thanks for calling me out publicly

 

What can I actually say about that race?

Qualifying was a lot how I expected, rather close to the back. But on the formation lap, I chucked it into the wall and hey presto. Following that, I did have contact just a few laps later, that made me realise the damage was too much to handle. I was going to apologise for the contact, but I think I won't in the end, so I pitted early. From there it was just a hot lap feature.

A few positions gained here and there, with mistakes, and pitstops. Great driving by most of the GT field. A few cars still have a few things to learn about holding their line, and remaining predictable, but there are more races for that

I do apologise to John for diving to your inside after the long straight. I had just pitted and was distracted by the cold brakes, and missed my braking point, causing me to have one of two decisions to make. I could have dived up your inside, like I did. Or I could have rear ended you and ruined your race (mine was bad enough as it was anyway), so I do apologise for that.

A brush in with a totally oblivious GT driver, almost crashing me out of the race, put me on the edge of the seat for the rest of the event. In the end, dragged it home to a suprising P5, after pitting with 2 or 3 laps to go, and seeing P5 do the same. So luckily, pulled that last slot back right at the end.

Good racing all, and overall the traffic handled well for the most part. Onwards to Le Mans. Can't wait, but it sure is a long one.

 

Wrong John I meant Mr. Melichar of the GT's

 

Qualifying went okay. Start of the race went okay. Then the accident happened. My ass still hurts. Wasn't intentional on both our parts but in my defense, at that speed, at that corner, you have to keep your line and I did and I paid for it .

Anyways, on Le Mans!
