Welcome @Bounty05 hope you enjoy the rest of the season with us. Has anyone got you to set up your pit stop stuff yet? Say that fast ten times. If you haven't remind us to do it before the race in a tune room. Have fun and good luck Ant
Nah haven't set up anything yet, just did some laps last night but that's about all. Just trying to learn the track and get used to the car. What's the deal with pit stops?
@Bounty05 welcome to the Sunday league Just wondering if you could add your psn id to your info? So that I can send you an invite to tonight's race
@Bounty05 not sure if you have seen @Beau_Albert has a tips and tricks page http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/pcars-season-5-tips-and-tricks.2424/ Also there is a pit stop page http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/season-5-pitstop-thread.2425/ These may or may not help. Hope you enjoy it with us tonight it is great fun with a good bunch of blokes.
So short race review this week. my first clean lap was my qualy lap, which was good as I top qualified with it. Yay @Anthonyb got the jump at the start but spun. I then was maintaining a gap to @Mick then just before the straight I hit an invisible wall, which put me un the air and slowly destroyed my car and my reset button didn't want to work...oh well. At least I got a point for tq.
@George great qually lap what a shame about the wall I saw your car in pieces and thought how did you spin there. My race. Qualified 2nd and got a great start trying to stay wide and give @George room i got on the loud pedal and shot across track and hit the wall got back on track in 5th with @rossi0nsx coming up quick then I copped a 5 sec penalty for cut track. Chasing @rossi0nsx and @bluebounty05 bounty made a small mistake letting rossi and myself through I got a run on rossi then as I got along side the good old magnetism happened we both got out of it ok. Rossi made a mistake and got a penalty letting me past on to chase down @fezza I can't remember getting past fezza but I must have then @mwkw1520 pitted and i grabbed 1st holding a 1 to 4 second gap I tried to make some more breathing space before pitting on lap 4 Mike got past and had a 10 sec gap I chased him down with 1 lap to go I was 1 sec behind mike held on with all my pressure I made a mistake on the left before the last carousel and spun the challenge for 1st was over. Great race Mike well done with first and fastest lap congrats on 3rd @fezza. Also well done @bluebounty05 on 4th in your first race with us. See you next week Ant
Thats brutal, i felt like i had some good pace but i made to many stupid mistakes. i also noticed after the second lap that i needed to change my brake bias and anti roll bars to my prefered setting, which i had already changed in quali.
The bias and bars reset for start of race you can do it on the start line. I was doing it in turn 1 I just remembered so that did not help me when my right foot got too heavy.
Quali - I was heading for a pb on my hot lap but unfortunately I clipped the second last ripple strip at Hohenrain causing a spin that lost me any chance of a valid lap. (defaulted to Q7) Race - Started well and slipped through on the inside of T1 & gained 2 spots then the nerves kicked in and started making silly little errors, over shooting my brake markers and under steering like a . Made another small error allowing @Anthonyb and @rossi0nsx through pushing me back a couple of spots so I thought it was time to concentrate on finishing the race more so than racing the race cos this track is gonna kill me. Found my zone and slowly made my way back to 5th with 2 laps to go, now looking for that 4th pos and at the same time I grabbed my pb of 7:17. It took another lap and a half to catch 4th place (not sure who it was sorry) and was running out of klms to find a way past. suddenly saw an opening at adenauer forst so I jumped into impulse mode and grabbed the spot, my heart was pounding. Knowing the finish was not far away I made sure I took every corner with car and crossed the line in 4th. That was AWESOME fun guys, thanks to all you guys for a great race - let's do that again!
