I'll be standing by as a reserve but do have one question. If a car is upgraded will it de-tune on room entry or just not be allowed in?
you will have to reset it to be allowed on track so when you enter the room, it won't change until you manually change it... otherwise you won't be able to race. Please ensure your cars is the correct HP and KG
@Ozglenn Was watching the replay from Round 1 and thought some of the close (and clean) racing we had was worth a post. First video in particular at high speed from the last straight into final chicane. I suck at video / video editing and all that so.....it is what it is. Second video in next post.
Luckily enough, I have https://www.pagnianimports.com.au/r...-g25-thrustmaster-t500-rs-fanatec-wheels.html. She got it for a few xmas' ago!! I'm very spolit to have a missus who not only endorses gaming but enables it But getting one with a build in chair would be winning.

@Pat, thanks for the round 2 race hosting. I will be away from my cockpit for the next two rounds (unexpected work will make me miss bathurst). I will be back for the 3 December race. Sorry for the Hassle. @Cab Congrats, You almost lapped me tonight. (too many mistakes by me, @AroGantz sorry about the bump). Thanks again racers ANT
Well I feel that was a lucky win. The lead of the race was gifted to me early when Epic had a power outage and his car was left on the track and free wheeled into @Ozglenn. From there I just pushed as hard as I could and managed a 6 second lead. I pitted lap 13 got new tyres and enough fuel for the end to push all the way. Was getting worried as lap 19 Ozglenn still hadn't pitted and I wasn't able to close the gap much to him. So I figured if he can still lap that fast and save enough fuel to finish the race he deserves the win. Set my fastest lap ever a 1:53.9 and all of a sudden Glenn was in the pits. He did a splash and dash and came out right behind me. I figured he didn't take new tyres so I figured I could still push harder then him and finished the race with a few seconds up my sleeve. Shoutout to all those that I did lap they stayed out of the way perfectly. Bad luck Epic you were the one to beat here.
Yeah sorry if my outage caused some mayhem....I was GUTTED! Everything just felt right last night, got a good start from pole and was managing the gap to second nicely on a leaner fuel mix when my whole house went black. Turned out the wife was doing ironing and it tripped the circuit breaker.....which led to a robust debate and banning of that activity for all future Sunday nights - the iron also made its way into the bin safely even though I felt like chucking it into the BBQ and cremating it. Well done CAB and all who had a great result.
Great race CAB excellent strategy and driving Bad luck Epic looked like it was going to be a great race i would have like to see what was going to happen to everyone else good racing see you all next round
My first league race ever! Well done CAB, and well done to Macca87, who i caught up to when i was 5th (iirc?) when he made mistakes around the slow hairpin a couple of times, he had pace on me and managed to stay consistant enough to get 10-15 seconds on me. I was surprised that I made it that far up after qualifying so far back. Pity I wasn't watching my fuel near the end, ran out on lap 21 between hairpin and pits, got lapped and lost a few positions, tried to stay out of the way of you all! Very impressed with the clean racing, sooo much nicer than sport mode, even at SR S! I think fuel/ lap number is good, forcing a strategy move of at least 1 pit for fuel or needing to conserve fuel with mapping is a great part of racing. I managed to better my Q 1:58 with a 1:57 when I was on song too! I will be watching a few hot laps of Kyoto to see if I can get my times a bit closer to the pointy end of the div. Worked out a few corners i still need to improve on at Alsace! So hard to use the whole track coming out of the hairpin, getting on throttle earlier just seems to get tail too sketchy.
Congratulations to Cab Glenn and Naacs for the podium places. Commiserations to Mugsy, I feel your pain. Pretty conservative race from me last night. Started ok, got up to 3rd early on after a mistake by Naacs but made an error myself a lap or two later and Naacs powered by. Decided to go into fuel conversation mode which was a big mistake as the pit time is so short. My lap times were not competitive enough, my best lap of the race was more than a second down on what I've been running. I still managed to run out of fuel with two corners to go. A fairly lonely race, coming home 4th. As far as the room goes, I didn't see any issues at all. No one stuck on the grid and no dropouts besides Mugsy's power outage. I din't notice any lag at all, not sure what everyone else's experiences were. Qualifying: Result: Lap times:
Well that was 45 minutes of nerves but it was fun. My goal last night was to stay out of the way and I think I succeeded for the most part except when I confused myself at pit entry and got in the way of @Antmeg26, sorry about that Ant. Now I need to work out how to get some more speed.
