rF2 1980's IMSA @ Buenos Aires #15(Historic) - Fri 11 Feb 2022 *BA Trophy Rd 2/5*

[Dean Maković]

Weird, weren't you in the Alba like me? My temps were between 70-80 all the time, had no issues at all

Sorry yes Alba. My temps were like 50 to 60 and pufff

 

[Michael Rudolf]

Due to the straights, probably not. Then again, the laptimes from my onboard-videos are what I actually managed with racefuel and tyres. So I were about the same with them.

Then again, you were a monster with the Alba today. Holy banana!

Oh by the way @Ole Marius Myrvold and @Roy Magnes, I'm going to need to employ you guys to vote for this song next Saturday on my behalf

Don't worry about me! That wolf will get its banana!

Don't worry about me! That wolf will get its banana!

That sounds soooo wrong

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

That sounds soooo wrong

"I'll make that wolf howl". Better?

After getting next weeks thread up, put up the server, uploaded results and stats and had some food.

Man, I've never had so much fun, driving alone for 50 min! When Gr.B entrants fell off, I ended up racing against Lennart and Pauli, and I knew I had no chance there. But the 50min flew by regardless. In Hindsight, the Gr.B cars should've been dropped. I was hoping to have the normal "Friday-gang" present, and be able to convince 4-8 historic-car lovers to join in, but it didn't work out.
Anyway, I had great fun, and it looked like Lennart and Pauli had a nice little fight in the non-prototype class as well

Same here! After I got used to the Alba I loved pushing it to the limit each and every corner, that 50 minutes went by super fast though I also was pretty alone after Dean dropped out only going back and forth with some C1s. Great stuff

We'll be back with normal cars again next Friday!

I think these "Gentleman races" are great, don't get me wrong. Yesterday Was not my day and these group b cars are much tougher than I thought I needed more Training.

 

[Herlev]

@Ole Marius Myrvold Maybe you and @Denis Betty should join forces and use the same car/track combo for the next classic event? These great cars and weird tracks does require some learning and having an extra race just might help with that and bring more people over to both "RF2 clubs"

And please keep doing these races. They are the ones that really stand out

Qualifying shenanigans, trying to get my Mazda up the ladder!
Which was so slow it couldnt even pass the M1 on the straight! (they were actualy gapping me). Did i mention that? i think i did

If that's for a P3, whats it going to be for a P1?

 

[Dean Maković]

Wow, that is quite the prize for yourself!

Lets hope that next friday we will have a good race without any issues

Damn what a rollercoaster of emotions

Haven't had time for any practice this week so the first few laps yesterday before the rain were the first in those cars. I was close to quitting before it even started ... and then quali started

Fastest in sector 1, fastest in sector 2, 1.2 sec up on my second run ... losing it in the last corner I was so down after that. Even I was never that close to the top runners and I also didn't expect it, it was a bitter p3 as pole was on the table and up for grabs.

After that, I said to myself: full attack on the start and maximum push ... well, latest exactly till T1 where I underestimated the cold tyres

Back nocked out of the skies it was pretty much catching up from last till it was a 'who finishes with fewer spins' competition with @Colin Peach Congrats on P3.

Unpopular opinion: Looking forward to those cars again

Nah its not, they're brilliant! They'd fit an oldschool track too, like the 60' Spa or something

Or even more time-correct. The F1 1986 trackpack is being updated to the current standards or rF2 in regards to PBR, rain puddles etc. etc. I think they are halfway done now.
