Great race guys, really enjoyed that.
My two place grid penalty for speeding in the pit lane (after warning everyone to be careful) didn't hurt too much. Had a nice battle for the first half of the race though I'm not sure who it was with... Steam names and forum names don't match.
It was great until I had a little stutter just as we were right on top of each other, and ended up punting him.
Wasn't too damaging, though afterwards I couldn't seem to keep up the same pace and dropped back from the guys in front. Nice race though, and surprisingly few errors compared to my practice during the week.
Curious, did you guys have to pit for fuel? I had the car setup for 32 laps.....when the session changed to race I noticed the max fuel dropped to 26 laps?
I had the same. In practice it said a full tank would do 35 laps, before the race it dropped to 30. That supposedly put me on the borderline of having to pit, but I ended the 40 minutes with fuel to spare. Not sure where the game gets it's estimate from. An average of all laps completed over all previous sessions maybe?
When's the next race? How do you choose the car/track for races?
Same bat-time, same bat-channel! (How many are old enough to know where that comes from?)
In other words, same time next week.
As for how I choose the combo, it depends. Sometimes it's what has been fun in the past, though not with AMS 2 since we've only run two events so far. Other times it's what I've picked up from forums etc as being fan favourites. Sometimes I go for authenticity, like this event... the real Stock Cars race at Curitiba. And sometimes I just get an idea of something that sounds cool in my head, though it doesn't always work out so well in real life.
