Well Im pretty sure everyone spun during the race, so with 55min to go, was still plenty of time to come back, particularly with your pace. I spun with 15 to go and dropped back down the field. But others made mistakes and which allowed me to move back up... so you should never give up!
Yes I had a self inflicted spins my self but then I had a helping bumper spins also so wasn't the best night for me but I did still enjoy ed the racing maybe next week will be my week ? If every one drops 100 bhp lol
1 - Bryan - 2:22.171 2 - Aussie - 2:22.763 3 - Saved - 2:22.816 4 - Slambo - 2:23.730 5 - S_close - 2:23.009 6 - Nat - 2:23.824 7 - Groover - 2:23.729 8 - Naacs - 2:23.465 9 - Blindman - 2:22.722 10 - Seeeeth - DCS + pole ~2:22 flat
Bryan had FL, not sure what FL seth got, will try to remember to check later, as he left on lap 3? edit: I see my post is a little confusing... I meant that his pole time was a 22 flat in Q1. Quite impressive!
Thanks for the fine work putting all the results together @emmo46 and @Hatfield , is greatly appreciated. Can't say I enjoyed backing the field up during the opening stages, but I figured my only chance at getting near the podium was desperately trying to save front tyre in the middle sector, then sprinting out of bus-stop & LaSource to rebuild a gap. I over-did the conservation though, I was turning Low-24's most of the race, but still managed a high-23 on the last lap! Bring on the Daytona Drag-Race with 3x Hairpins!
Dunno about Daytona... I'll have to see about the GTR pace in some mock races, but I feel I'll be a sitting duck again as soon as we exit the infield.
Turns out there is quite a lot of information out there for sticky G27 pedals, and the potentiometers can be taken apart and cleaned. Not wanting to go through much more trouble than required, just ended up switching the brake and clutch pedal, hence the potentiometer. Should be alright now for the next race, although I won't be near as strong as I would have been in Spa. Will be a happy camper if they just work right. @Slambobagan I'm looking forward to the next time we meet at Spa, second time we have battled down to the line in the last lap. Still 2-0 in your favour
Sure it feels better to win, but you both end up winning in this case as you found what every online racer should want. A close clean adrenaline pumping battle
Yes I remember season 2 in the macca, just hung on there in this one I thought u had me but managed to sneak it back in the inside. Was awesome watching the final 3 laps on the replay. Same thing happened a few weeks ago to my g27 pedals, I just sprayed contact cleaner in the pots and blew them out with compressed air they have been working fine since.
Just watched the replay and was so disheartening observing the blinking brake lights flicker down the straights, not to mention that bloody awful engine sound lol.
This sux with the penalty system i couldnt even race last week at spa as soon as there was a straight i was getting past like it was nothing and now im getting more of a penalty down to 401 hp and on a track where more than half of it is straight. Well bring on last place
Yes i'm in the same boat(GTR) - thought the penelities were more based on each race performance not where you were on the ladder - really means we have no chance to be in the mix for the rest of the event.
Here are the updated pens for Daytona. The addition of half the pen from the previous round has been removed to even things up:
So penalties are purely based on championship standings now? Mwuhahaha my plan to totally suck at Motegi and be last with almost no points is working beautifully! !
