Round 1 Sao Paulo - Sun Jan 19, 2020

Hi Caitlan
I know you are having problems staying in the server
When you left it says you were removed as "server is not recieving updates from client,"
Hope this gives you a clue , I was thinking firewall or something your end
Hope you get it fixed we need you expertise

 

Just came in from shoveling snow and strained my back a bit. Think I sit this out.

I didn't realize you could just cheese the tyrechoice by only using q-tyres. The last mod I drove which had specific q-tyres blocked them in race-session. Since noone was talking about that here I just assumed it's the same thing here; stupid me

Congrats who all who made it through

But could we please banish them from race-session for the next one? The tyres in general are what gives these cars most of that fantasy pace in the first place

 

I hadn’t done more than twenty laps in the car so opted for softs to be safe but like you say I did wonder about the Q’s because they lasted a crazy amount of time. In real life you were lucky to get two laps out of them. Haha

 

I feel cheated

 

tough race.
got stuck allmost whole 1st half and then started to push but i lost rear so many times i cant count it anymore.
but 1st race is done, car made it to the end and learned something for next setup ( this one was bad when tyres started to lose grip ).

oh and Q tyres?! lol, didnt even think it would be possible. this going to be like a proper f1 season now with loop holes and all that!

 

I know I made a few mistakes today and I know I wasn't particularly competitive, but that's ok. I actually really enjoyed that race nonetheless, and I'm looking forward to doing more races in this car. Thanks for the event, everyone!

 

Sorry for the part where I spun you @Ricardo Almeida . There was a giant car park and I couldn't work out who was where. I gave myself a drive-through for it, and I was happy to see that you still won. Great job!

 

Knew I would not be competitive to make it to the podium... Had a good start, a gap opened up but then got sandwiched and some wheel banging took place. I think everybody had good respect on the track and gave sufficient racing space... I ran third for the 1st part of the race.. being the locomotive of the train Toni was on... When catching the back of the field... I made a sudden move and had a tank slapper spun... Getting back on the track in I think 5th I made a first pit stop and got back in 10th place. When catching the guys in front of me I missed my braking point and Hit Johnny (apologies)... I spun again luckily Johnny did not and Toni could pass me as well. Then I continued and climbed up to 6th.... Making my 2nd stop in lap 43... Came back in I think 8th or 9th and could get back to my 6th position... I had some issues with my brakes in last parts of the race but was in nomans land with 30s to the front and 15s to the rear so I focussed on making it to the end...

Had a lot of fun on my birthday with this intense race... Hope someone makes a nice race review of the race... I think it was quite eventful...

CU all on track...

Happy birthday dude!

 

Well, unlucky race for me I hited a sign on the main stright that shouldn't be there , and my race was over.
I was very fond of this mod, until the very moment I found that one can take the qualy tires and win

As Andrew said, and I most defenetly agree, 2 or 3 (max) laps and they were gone..
Probably won't race again.

Congrats to podium and to Michal for his lap on qualy!

 

My car was cut down in half!! haahah
And it's so beautifull!!!!
