Project Cars 2 Round 3 Catalunya National (Barcelona)

Thx Gerhard, really not problem ,its always difficult when your in the heat off battle, I'm a chilled guy but will always race hard, I understand, never give up , race hard , and most of all enjoy, Im so glad to race with you guys and to join SRO, My tonic for sim racing, Thx to all.

 

Thank you all for the race, for me it was probably the most fun event I've had so far.
I got spun on the first lap and went to the back of the field but afterwards I managed to claw back quite a few positions and finish 3rd which felt really good.
My pace was very similar to Ken's, so if I had been in a position to do so I would have loved to have a battle with him for second place.

Overall, congrats to Julian, thanks for giving me a different challenge in trying not to be lapped by you by the end

 

Congrats to you all guy´s at podium .
Thanks to admins for all the hard job.

Qual was ok going 5th at nearly the same time before break down.
Race got a desent start , but got a bit to far at the left could see a yellow
Merc at my inside had to let off not to touch that in doing so got some one to
touch me and spun out again going last chase Rob and Klaus for a couple off laps.
But soon Crew cheif complane about to warm engine and to hot tyres, forgot to change that
in the race set up and then 12 laps in to the race the weird thing happend ,first I couldn´t get 5th gear in at the straigth
ev just before the corner it went in, going in the corner the wheel was all loose no feeling and
got me out in the gravel, got the resume session sign? At that time I had enough even though I hate DNF.

 

Congrats to Ken and Victor on the podium, and thanks to Ken for saving the day after all the problems with steam that came out of the blue.
I didn't think the race would go on, sorry for the guys that couldn't make it back in to the race ,so look forward to the next race at Silverstone.

 

Had some good pace this time.
Comes mostly from the setup changes and the familiarity of the track.
The car still drives a bit like it is on ice, the whole time.
Qualified for 6th, and stayed out of trouble in the first corner.
Found myself in the second group behind Ken, Brian, Gerhard, and Helmut.
IMO the BMW had the better pace in the second sector which gave me a good exit before the second straight that opened for some opportunities to pass Helmut and Gerhard.
Fortunately, I could avoid contact with Brian when I overshot the second to last corner.
I need to check my eyes , completely missed the breaking point and the apex.
After roughly 20 laps @Brian Donald was suddenly behind me (did you have a crash?), and I found myself in P4, after Viktor passed me.
Never would have expected that.
With lots of fuel in the tank, the car handled very good, but in the later stages of the race I had more troubles with the steering and outbreaked a couple of times.

With 10 seconds to go, and 5 seconds to the 4th place, I saw Julian breaking in front of me, who probably did not want to drive another lap .
So I joined him and rolled the car over the start/finish straight.
I noticed, too late, that Julian crossed the line with 1 second to go, so we had to drive another lap.
Brian and Gerhard, fighting for 4th place, did not break of course, so the gap was down to less than 1 second in the first corner.
With a bit of defensive driving, I managed to keep my 4th place until the last corner.
However, Brian, behind me, had the better acceleration and passed me just before the finish line.
Just like in Hockenheim you had the better pace, you deserve it

Björn doesn't seem to catch a break in this series. Hopefully this will change in the next races.

I did manage to the save the replay this time.
Is there no option to jump to a specific time code?
Do you really have to watch the whole race?

 

No race for me unfortunately, after rejoin for qualy my wheel was not working, need to exit and rejoin PC2 but not in time.

See you guys next one.

 

unfortunately there is no time line with pc2, you have to run it at full speed from the start to get where you want.

 

It is ok as it is. I have no idea how I passed you after that. Therefore we could consider that you already took a penalty.

But I hope there is a bit more space next time

 

Congrats to Julian, Ken and Viktor.
I had a disaster in qualifying after a touch (I don't know who with) I went into the wall and sustained heavy damage so qualy over and my final
grid place 7th.
I had a fantastic start and managed to get 2nd place on the first corner.
A few laps later Ken was on my tail. I tried to defend but was loosing too much time so early in the race so it was better to let Ken through and concentrate on my pace.
A mistake mid race when I spun out which let Franz and Gerhard through. I managed to get back on Gerhards tail and eventually get past in the dying laps. Julian then lapped me (awesome pace Julian) Last lap I managed to get right behind Franz and off the last corner I out accelerated him to the finish line by .005, Phew!
A great race and a great bunch of drivers in this series we have. Thanks to Ken for your time and effort to keep us racing.
Looking forward to next race.

 

Got some time to check the gears today. Sorry to say I think the wheel base is toasted
Sent a Support note to Fanatec , but I doubt that it will be fixed in the near future

Ken I will give you a note on what to do with both PC2 and RF2 serie.
depending on the answer from Fanatec

 

A fanatastic support ,got a answer early this morning and with a bit software updates / firmware etc
it seems to be good to go. Now I even took the chanse/time to get my McLaren wheel ready for the rig

Could never had thought that was sure it was a hard ware problem
So a big thank you to Fanatec support !!
So back in the saddle try to regain some practice
See you

 

Great news, glad you've got it sorted, well done Fanatec, hopefully see you in Silverstone.
