Round 4 Kyalami 2020 - Sun Feb 21, 2021

Should i have all the mods?
I just loaded the dpi, not the gt3

 

I learned John!

FFB at idle (with a g25 it is easier then) and less degrees of steering

 

Yes, you need to have all the mods on the server to race, that includes the gt3 cars

 

When rallying, I drive one-handed a lot. I can imagine, ignoring shifting and button assignments, road racing isn't much harder

 

Congrats Michele. Unstoppable. Hats off to you.
Andrea Ricco. I was in back of him. Just racing and not pushing. I got mixed up with a corner marker/braking point and instead braked at the second braking point which was waaaaaaaay to late. Why is this turn ending so soon!! I took Andrea out. Man, my mistake for sure. I did serve the drive through and two pits. I know that's not correct on the damage I caused you. I almost hit the escape key but thought it would be incorrect of me to just leave after causing that accident so I stayed since you stayed. Little while later, Andrea escaped so I was stuck. Should I also hit the escape key? I don't know. Felt shitty doing that damage to a clean driver. This track was hell. I also noticed people all around me were collecting each other so it was also a good show. I need a smiley face with the hands up in the air.

I'll take whatever comes my way. It is what it is. But it was fun for sure.

I had fun with other drivers. Their also probably hating me haha. . All the emotions I went through on this track.

Johnny

 

Good fun racing with you, @Marcos Junior. A couple others there as well, for a time. Boy, Porsche tires sure do fall off, every. single. time.
Had not planned to do this race, and probably shouldn't just jump into races over an hour long like this, but did anyways. After struggling the first hour, and fighting the car after the tires dropped off, I simply exhausted myself. lol. After an off, started feeling like I was soon to become a hazard, so quit out at my pit stop. Had some suspension damage that was making the car wacky anyways.

Tricky track, but good for racing in GT3 for sure!. DPI traffic was considerate...probably cursed me a few times, but considerate no less

Thanks for the fun, SRO!
ETA: Oh, and grats to winners and podiums!!!

 

Andrea, how do you drink your IPA and drive at the same time, there are NO STRAIGHT straights!!!!!!

 

Weekend without tobacco..just no nerves to go with this one.

 

Inhad 2 perspectives of the race, trust me, you weren't a hazard. Although the free position for the 24 car was appreciated
Longer races like this need to be thought, rather than felt through. I think there were 7-8 retirements, most from GT3. Doesn't matter how slow you are, if you're safe and get to the finish, you'll be better off than not. Just need to learn to drive within the limits of the setup you have

 

Frustrating is all I can describe that race as. Had a decent enough start, had a great clean battle with @Jens Roos, that was awesome! Then made an error attempting to overtake @Darrel Kruger, I attempted to outbreak Darrel into T5 on Lap 3, realised a little too late that I wasn't going to have the space so tried to break harder and back out of it. Unfortunately caught the back of the car and spun with Darrel and also collected @Jens Roos My apologies to you both.

Up and running again, had a battle with Darrel and made a pass into T1 (Clean this time!) then went chasing after @Fausto Ricci, managed an overtake around the outside of T5, clean move. Everything looking better until Lap 11 - T5. @Fausto Ricci ended up divebombing me into T5, smashing the side of the car in and causing me front and rear Aero damage, managed to limp around for another lap whilst I adjusted the Pit Crew for an unscheduled stop and then run to the end with some fuel saving- race over from that point.

 

Yea, I let you pass, didn't want to be run into again.

 

Toni what happened? He pushed me very hard. I was able to go mix 2.

 

What a race! Had an almost race long battle with @Andrew Harper where we were only 4-5 seconds apart for most of it, only got a break when he had to put for a second time.
Realised at the pit stop that I might be able to one stop and had tonfuel save like mad to finish with 1 litre remaining!
Just a quick note on the GT traffic generally it was really good but there were a few times when cars moved off their line to help, if you can be as predictable as possible and stick to your line it will save me a heart attack!!
Good race guys, looking forward to the next one!

 

I spun and then i had tandrums which made me quit after a while

 

A great race @Mark Hightree A couple of times I thought you were going to have a go, but it seemed that you could close in but just couldn't get close enough due aero wash? I elected to change tyres in the pit. There is nothing worse than watching the seconds tick by whilst the gap shrinks until you pass me whilst I'm in pit exit! Good battle.
Think I caught @Marcos Junior by surprise with how much I needed to slow for some corners in the Porsche compared to the Bentley. Nice 'love tap' in the final turn, but no damage for me. @Marc Brink rejoined in a less than desirable way after an off track and collected me, causing a half spin that allowed Marcos to pass us both. Feel a bit like I lost a second place because I fancy I could have kept him behind me until the chequered flag but still very happy with a podium finish.
Just one crazy DPi dive bomb, hence the flashing lights and horn blowing but otherwise all drivers seemed to behave themselves.
@Peter Williamson I think your probably referencing me? Your closing speed was such that I thought you were going to flash past so tried jumping out the way. Sorry for the confusion.
