    ROUND 3.jpg
    The Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit is situated in Midrand in the province of Gauteng ideally positioned between the 2 major cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria. The name "Kyalami" (liberally translated) means "My Home" in Zulu, one of South Africa's official languages. The original circuit was constructed in 1961 and soon established itself as the premier motorsport facility in Southern Africa.​

    Is this one still hapening or was it postponed??
    Anyhow, for those who might interest, from what i've found, qualy times on this track (dry) should be around 1:40.high - 1:42.low.
    On the Vantage V8 i'm stuck at 1:42.high and i don't think i can squeeze it any more saddly :confused:. But it certainly is a tricky circuit!!

    Absolutely it's still on !~!~:D
    Nice looking Grid ! I see a few more drivers joining us !
    Remember we are using the ZERO CONTACT lap one rule ..The only way to have a clean race is first to have a clean start ! door banging is fine but spin a car or force a car off with contact on lap 1 is an instant drive through ! Any contact later in the race resulting in a spin or off will allow you to simply give the position back or do a drive threw as the SRO punt rule explains !

    Looks like I’m out of it for tomorrow now.
    I have a DNS issue on my computer that I just can’t seem to resolve no matter what I try

    I was three minutes from the end and the game crashed me out, I can’t believe it!! I was running in six place... I’m going to cool off before I lose the plot.. after the first lap bumper cars

    What a lucky race for me. With my pace 1s slower than the mid pack, I still managed to make it to the checkered and even in 8th place. Although I did a lot of mistakes because of just too little practice on that track - it turned out again - just dont give up and run till the end - you never know what happens during a 90min race!
    Btw: Sorry once I spinned a BMW in the last corner - at least I gave the position back again, sorry for that... Rest of the race was awesome battles and some nice racing.
    cheers Christian

    Man A very strange day indeed .. First, apologies for the server/timing/session .. The wind knocked the power out sometime last night (im in US. pst time zone & these races are at 12 noon for me I will add that I also work swing shift so I get home before 2 am my time , meaning 12 noon is equivalent to say 7 am for me :rolleyes:o_O:D) So I have no power with 20 min to go to q .. ready to use my phone to post that I can't make it ,thinking what a disaster ! Then the power came back on with like 20 min to Q :eek::D..so I was able to get there ..wheew .. I had like 30 min of practice when I got home the night before (at 2 am) & that was it .. (work is insane for me right now as I work for the school district & this coming Monday is our first day with kids coming back from covid closures so we have been scrambling like crazy to get ready) . Ok wheew powers back . Im on the server ..this will happen ! ..then the carnage , not sure what happened but will check the replay .. All of you guys have proven to be good drivers so I'm sure it was a simple loss of grip that caused a domino effect of some sort, I'm always cringing when these things happen and tend to take them personally as the host & admin so I'm already thinking about flames in the forum & how to put them out . (over reacting I know:rolleyes:) lol , We will have a look & I'm sorry it happened, Kyalami is a tricky track with some blind turns ... Then as I'm wiping the sleep out of my eyes having made it through the carnage my PC starts black screening :mad::cool::confused: ! WTF I better open her up and clean all the fan screens ) these black screens start happening every other lap & I kept trying to fight threw them lol, 2 times I found my self in the fence with enough damage to take 2 sec's off my already slow pace .. o_O I was about to simply park it but I never want to quit so with not a lot of traffic around me (in last or next to last) I just kept going & made it to the end ..
    Thanks to everyone who stuck it out & sorry to those who had incidents ...

    action all round it seems

    my race was a tad frustrating

    car felt quite different from practice moving around and understeering more.

    so i though why bother. hehe couldnt even get a quali lap in. arrggg
    so race starts and all is good i let an aggressive guy pass and try find rhythm.
    then come around a corner with no where to go.
    i say hello to all the stones in the gravel trap and rejoin last and 3 months behind.
    settle into the race and do the best i can .
    car started to improve thru the stint despite being above tire temps
    then pit stop time and all hell breaks loose.
    select pit menu, want to select pit with no tires...... and ..... no response.
    my buttons weren't assigned any more.
    so had to roll into pit, park it and escape to menu to assign buttons.
    then back in game and select pitstop, i stress so much i mess that up and select full service and 1 lap too little fuel.
    so last 5 laps were total economy runs.

    but i finished so all good.

    starting to enjoy the Porsche.
    itsa an odd car, but good when i can get it right.
    bring on the next one

    Sr. Carlos Delgado, acredito que o Sr seja um piloto rápido (afinal foi pole), mas por alguma razão estava como retardatário (13º), e como tal é extremamente deselegante e não recomendado que fique pistando os faróis para o carro da frente, que esta na 7ª posição. Acho que uma boa o Sr. ler o regulamento do automobilismo em geral, de forma a evitar tal comportamento, ok?
    Ver aqui...
    Sua atitude, fez com que eu encostasse no carro a frente, oque não ultrapassei por não ser hético, assim o Sr. consegui passar por nos dois, e logo apos, o sr, mesmo sendo retardatário não abril para nenhum de nos, oque ocasionou que eu tocasse no seu carro e o fizesse rodar, como manda os bons costumes, mesmo eu achando que não deveria, devolvi a posição para o Sr... (que coisa né? o 7º colocado devolvendo a posição para o 13º) INACREDITÁVEL... Em fim, a sua pilotagem extremamente agressiva prejudicou em muito a minha corrida...

    Sugiro imensamente que o Sr. reveja o seu estilo de pilotagem, com certeza os demais agradecem... como um piloto rápido que mostrou ser, não precisa ser tão agressivo assim...

    Aos administradores do campeonato, que este relato sirva como um report.

    Atenciosamente,
    ====================
    Google translator (English)

    Mr. Carlos Delgado, I believe you are a fast driver (after all he was pole), but for some reason he was a latecomer (13th), and as such he is extremely inelegant and it is not recommended that you keep your headlights on for the front car, that is in 7th position. I think it's a good thing for you to read the regulation of motorsport in general, in order to avoid such behavior, ok?
    See here...
    His attitude, made me lean against the car in front, which I did not overcome because I was not hectic, so you managed to pass us both, and soon after, you, even though you were late in April for none of us, which caused that I touched his car and made it run, as good manners dictate, even though I shouldn't think so, I returned the position to Mr. ... (what a thing? 7th place returning the position to the 13th) UNBELIEVABLE... In the end, his extremely aggressive riding affected my race a lot ...

    I strongly suggest that you review his riding style, surely the others will thank you ... like a fast pilot who proved to be, you don't need to be that aggressive ...

    To the championship administrators, may this report serve as a report.

    Regards,

    Good Morning all
    I write this before looked at my replay
    To Jos and who ever could use it: Crew Cheif and ACC is a mess this days , for every update it loos more info as it seems
    timing and etc all wrong for awhile I used it only for tyre management but that is also fword by the latest update.
    I read that the developer off Crew Cheif has resign try to fix it, I´m no hacker but it was something about how ACC send out its info.

    It was real good to come back to ACC GT3 racing again. But I was:rolleyes::rolleyes::eek:
    It was great luck we didn´t get 33 cars on the grid, those 2-3 first laps :eek::eek::rolleyes: thought that I have read
    the registration wrong it looked as we where to do 15 min race and no pit stopo_O. By now I know the most off
    you guy´s ,this is not how we do it :oops::oops::oops:
    But as said in the start haven´t got time to look at the replay .

    To Rob thank you for all you´r hard work ceep it together.
