2008 RD Touring Car Championship (RACE 07)

[James Yates]

People are usualy disqualified because of previous round incidents or non reported absences. However, while the incident report+briefing shows who is disqualified and why, some don't read it and still go to pre qualify

 

[Ukrajinka]

Thanks

I learned more Pitty for disqualified people, as they are driving really fast, but the fact remains the fact

 

[Chris Noble]

Hmm this is definately a good BMW track! always run well in the BMW here.

But i am driving a Honda this time.

Managed a 1:35.135 so far, going to be hard to improve on that I reckon, just dont have the power out of the corners.

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

eeerf, i don't know how guys can turn in 1'32''xxx, i have to do more progress!

 

[Cristian Haba]

The BMWs are the fastest again but the margin is small when looking at the V-Wtcc, but when the race comes little of that matters. I'll be struggling with tire wear again like I always do, I hate tire wear. Also this track its very easy to lose your race with the smallest lapse in concentration. Theres little run off areas in key high speed places and that can make for a misty eyed ending to anyones race.

Hopefully I can continue where I left off at Estoril, got my fingers crossed.

BTW I put my set up in the setup section, lots of understeer still there's another 3-4 tenths easy if I can just dial some of it out.

 

[Nils Wijk]

Just did a couple of laps. Haven't touched the wheel since estoril. I was trying on a slow computer again and it was hard to control the car as the fps was to low for my comfort zone. I will probably not race here as it is to much of a struggle to do so snce my internet connection is still down. If I have some time left tomorow evening I will try and do some laps to get a normal quali and then I will decide on friday about the race...

 

[Luc Frachon]

Pfff can't put a decent lap together. I'll probably end up in the non-qualifiers' race...

 

[Keith Barrick]

Amount of laps during pre-qualification (solved)

I may not have searched hard enough, but I spent a good 10 minutes....

I could not find the maximum allowed laps for pre-qualifying. Is there a max?

Any help appreciated.

[Bram Hengeveld]

You can do as much as you want

 

[Keith Barrick]

Then im done testing offline, ill be on the pre-qual server for about the next 5 hours

 

[Peter Eriksson]

I may win the "most lap trophy" this time since i cant find the last touch off speed in the Italian beauty at Brands

 

[Attila Domján]

you are 50 laps short for it already Peter

 

[Keith Barrick]

After alot of messing with the setup, and some good advice I managed to nail a time I am confident will be group #1 which was my goal. 1:33.275

If it seems I might not make G1 I will do everything in my power to be there

Look forward to racing with the talent that dwells here at RD.

[Attila Domján]

and some good advice

:wink:

 

[Oliver Wickens]

I'm really struggling at Brands ( 1:33.4xx). I've never been quick there and i dont really know why which is frustrating.

See if i can pull something special out of the bag, otherwise prob group 2 for me :|

 

[Dave Gardner]

for some reason i can't seem to get it together at Brands,despite it being my favourite track alongside Donnington

as it stands my fastest is 01:35.604, can't get any more yet,will try again though.

[Maik Peters]

It does not seem to work for me today.. i better stop.
tomorrow more luck i hope.

 

[Cristian Haba]

This is a very frustrating track with the 08 cars. This was my favorite track in RACE but now with the additional power in these cars I can't seem to get the BMW to glide around the track like I want to, I have to be very patient and sometimes erratic to get the results.

I was on point for a 32.3xx today but mucked it a couple of times, regardless the time is safe and I will try get a race setup going as well as some laps with race fuel load to see how the car behaves. Ironically I'm suffering from lots of understeer here, go figure lol.

 

[Mtommi Tam]

i on Group 2 is must,
Can not fast on G-1

 

[Attila Domján]

poor little Cristian could only clock a 32.6, lets start to pitty him

do not dare to pull together a nice race setup for the tyres, you are killing my hopes for the race!
