Assetto Corsa Comp Round 4 Kyalami

It will be a late join for me this round, probably near the end of qually, which is just great, as I've never raced at this track

 

steep learning curve for this one, have never raced at the modern Kyalami track in any sim! got some real tricky corners to learn on the job good job its not also 34 degrees here...oh wait...

 

shame...gotta try next time if not working. starting to get hang of the game slowly.

 

Congrats Daniel.
I didn't have the pace after a few laps when the tyres got a little worn, and also caught the kerb which put me a couple of seconds down.
Quite a lonely race after that.

Just watched the live stream,nicely done. Like that you show a replay when you miss an incident or pass

 

That turned out to be a great race . Unfortunately I got some damage when Toni was spun across the track at the approach to the first corner but I managed to get going again in P7. I then spent many enjoyable laps in an intense duel with Mark but eventually I made contact with his car as I looked for a move and spun him around so I did a drive-through. When I emerged from the pits I had lost a couple of places and slotted in behind Endy. Another brilliant scrap ensued and just before the end of the race I stole P8 . Congrats to Daniel, Andrew and Jeffrey for the podium. My thanks to Mark and Endy for the entertainment.
After the race I made a brew and settled down to watch the broadcast ... IMPRESSED

 

Just got back in time to do the full qually, only to crash my car halfway through and not get any good runs in .

Got swamped at the start, so I need to learn how to read the widget better, or you can time it in a way that gives you more momentum. Was really struggling with sector 1, the back end just kept stepping out and with no practice time, I was trying to get into a rhythm.
Had fun chasing Roberto for most of the race. Got alongside when he had an oversteer moment, but then he lifted and braked, why was that?

I was too inconsistent due to lack of practice, so 3rd place is a good result for me.

Great broadcast

 

Forgot to add, most the cars seemed to ride the Kerb at Cheetah pretty well - Astons looked like they didn't care it was even there.
If I touched it in the Lambo, it was instant death

Just watched the replay - nice commentary and use of replays - well done Eike.

My race was hampered a bit by my brake issues - I lost connection just on the brake pedal in practice (Fanatec V3's) which has never happened before. Left the server to reseat the cables but then it happened again. I was about to call it a day but reset the pcb connection and then hoped for the best. It was then ok in qualy and race but I did feel like I could lose brakes at any point so drove a bit too nervously. Happy with 10th in the end but need to get things checked properly for next time.

Grats podium!

 

Cracking race last night, albeit i was slightly robbed by a pair of incidents. First time ever at this track so wasnt expecting much but still qualified 7th.
Got a decent start whilst trying to keep in line with the widgety graphics and then steam down the straight for about 100m only to have a spinning Porsche appear across my nose which forced me to hit the anchors to avoid it as it careened off track taking Bills Aston with him. Unfortunately this also allowed Simons BMW past me much to my annoyance
I then threw everything at Simon trying to get past on both sides of him at every opportunity but his wide ass BMW held the line. I seemed able to brake much later which gave me a few scares but then he had more grunt out of some corners to escape down the road a little until the next attack. It was costing me time every lap and allowed Bill to re-close and then start attacking me as i attacked Simon! it was a great 3 way fight for quite a while Eventually down at the bottom of the hill in the heavy braking zone, Bill unfortunately span me around. But he duly peeled off into the pits for a drive-thru so i kept my position at least although Simon now had a 8 second lead I pushed on until the end and got the gap down to 5 secs but ran out of laps and finished 6th i think.
Was a good race in the heat look forward to watching the video coverage of the race.

 

Apparently someone reported? but results are up so what is the verdict?

 

It was not reported ..it was an Admin race Stewart review . What does that mean ? All race start incidents are reviewed by SRO ..
Result was that it was simply a race incident, Meaning non intentional . The conclusion was that You did nothing wrong and held your line on the inside , as the other 2 cars got to the slight right hand bend in the track Ruskus started to merge left to defend as well as straitening out the turn , Balli then slightly behind but along side Ruskus also merged left as the track bends slightly to the right & the result was a funnel effect that caused the collision .. Balli is hard on the breaks to avoid once he sees what's happening but by then its to late .. it just one of those things where you were on the wrong end of a race incident .. If you look at the replay from the back of your car it appears as he simply runs into you ,then if you look from Balli's car it looks like you run into him .. then viewed from Ruskus's car you can see how it all starts. We concluded Neither of the 3 drivers did anything wrong in the split seconds it all happens .. The Ruskus merge seems to be the source of the incident but he also has position slightly ahead of both of you .. so in the end It was determined a Race incident ...
Sorry you had to take this one on the chin Toni ..
