ACC ACC Ginetta Academy races to Simracing.GP on Monday Nights [Deleted]

[kleeorg72]

That was my first ACC and SGP race! Thanks everybody! I was very worried about having so many op cars on the track since I'm about 5s off, but made positions, had a blast, and only had to swerve to avoid dying a few times! I don't think I killed anybody so... successful lunch break! Back to the grind. Cheers!

Thank you all for the race! Couldn't really get a good qualy lap in and like Danielle, I was about 4-5 seconds off the pace. Managed to have a fairly quiet ride mid-field after the lap 2 chaos. Looking forward to Donington!

 

[Enzo Fazzi]

Given that this is sort of a rookie series, is it maybe an idea to extend the practice time from 15 mins to an hour? (Or at least 30 minutes).
You obviously don't have to join at the start of practice, but if it's extended, the less experienced drivers have a bit of time to see the faster guys and learn from them before the race starts

 

[Jan Larsen]

Yeah, not a bad idea that ^

I can trial extending the practice time to 30minutes. We have to make sure at least a few people join towards the start of practice though. I think the server closes automatically after a set time if no one joins. Will double check that.

Server now goes live at 19:45 UTC. Practice is set to 30mins.

If no one joins the server by 19:55 it closes the event down. It's an SGP thing to stop empty servers using resource.

There should be less issues on the other tracks as they are more open than Oulton.

Thanks! I'll make sure to join at the start of the session

 

[Spinfluencer]

Happy to join early and just leave the car in the garage if that helps keep the server alive.

 

[Trox]

Dang I never noticed this, signed up for next week

Edit...
Unfortunately I have to pull out tonight, sorry guys...

 

[SwannyUK]

Great race guys, really enjoyed that one. even if I didn't finish!

Enzo was on another level tonight, just couldn't find an advantage and through pushing so hard messed up in to the hairpin and almost sent him in to orbit. Luckily he saw it coming and waited to turn in, thank you for that. Then got a DT for cut tracks but my pit limiter didn't kick in for some reason so called it a night.

Looking forward to the next one. Just remember the GT4 cars like lower pressures than GT3, aim for 26.8 to 27.4psi.

 

[kleeorg72]

Thanks everybody! Enjoyed the race. I tried to stay on the line and hope I didn't mess up any top 5 battles when I got lapped at the end.

 

[Rich Green]

Last nights race wasn’t as enjoyable as Oulton Park , but after an incident in the first few laps, I had a steady run to the end. I managed to get behind someone who was at the same pace as me and settled into a nice rhythm.

This is a great series of races and I’m looking forward to the next. It’s at a circuit I have more experience with.

 

[Greg Southall]

Just joined this series, albeit a bit late. Been supporting RD as a premium member for years but this will be my first foray into the online racing scene outside iracing (which was patchy anyway), so I’m looking forward to sampling the RD community and race offering. Cheers. Greg.

Just me or are the listed times a bit off?

Just me or are the listed times a bit off?

Not sure what you mean?

 

[kleeorg72]

Not sure what you mean?

Practice: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET (30 minutes)
Qualifying: 20:15 UTC / 21:15 CET (15 minutes)
Race: 20:30 UTC / 21:30 CET (30 minutes)

Sorry, looking closer it’s really just the end times. Each session shows as 1hr long but the start time for each is right.

That's the start time for each session in UTC and CET time zones not start and finish times if that makes sense.

 

[kleeorg72]

Ack! You're right. My bad!!
