Sign me out, sorry. :-( I swear one day life will stop being a bitch and I can actually do a race. I miss you guys.

 

[Nobkins]

Going to try and attend this one. Only getting about 20 mins to practice at best but I really enjoyed the other 90 min race we did a good few weeks ago.

Sign me up but don't worry if I don't make it

 

[Enzo Fazzi]

Sign me up. Really need to drive something else than rF2 and [CENSORED] Silverstone.

 

[MoerasGrizzly]

Whoa 90 minutes.
Hmm.
Sign me up!

 

[Connor Duffy]

[Yves Larose]

Sorry guy's i took a nap and over slept since i have no practice and i doesn't know the track i won't be there

 

[Eric Stranne]

Well I had to bail race 2 as I had promised to pick up my younger brother so I had to run out and jump in the car and, believe it or not, actually decrease the amount of horsepower... I didn't think it was possible after driving these cars

I also managed to stall on the grid for race 1 so I caused a big problem for basically everyone, big apologies for that. Drove through the field to finish 6th in the end I think which wasn't too bad I suppose. Was interesting trying to follow people at times as some peoples' cars just seemed to snap around now and then. Race 2 on Saturday will certainly be interesting (if I make it in that is...)

Hard to race when you a 7 year old constantly asking question leading to spin then had damage if I had to pit would lost more time since my pitcrew would of fixed it good battle at the start hope you all had a great race

 

[Matheus Machado]

Was able to set my headphones (mic still not working) and start the race. Then I spin after 3 laps and gave up. Had to practice a bit more than 10 minutes for races. Hope yall had a good one.

 

[Warren Schembri]

Was 12th after 2 or 3 laps but worked my way up the field and finished 4th so I'm very happy with that!!
Great race and thanks to all for joining in, thanks to Dennis for the organization and till next time

I thought that track worked out very well for a short endurance event! I had only a couple of OOoooops moments, one taking too much time and near the end I had an off, a crash, caught out by my tires just before making a pitstop. Haven't the pit crew heard about duck tape? Why does it take them 71 seconds to replace a front bumper?

Maybe they had trouble unsticking the end from the roll

I've really enjoyed this race. Specially thanks to @JimNobbs as we were battling for many, many, laps in every turn. A very fair and clean battle trying not to ruin the other's race. It's a long race and it's better to wait and brake in time than being at 0.1 from the car in front.
I don´t know if some of you could do the race with one pitstop. I pitted twice and I'm not sure if the v8 can do 90' with 200 liters . I didn´t take the risk.
Dennis, I had some damage too, but I ordered the pit crew not to repair it, as the car was drivable and didn´t want to have a coffee while waiting these slow people to fix it.

See you next time

 

[Stig Bidstrup]

sign me up please, lets hope we will have a few drivers since its the first Roumd of the RDTCC S9.

@Jarek Kostowski you know you want to join me

Have my kids , so no driving today, but have fun guys

Hard to race when you a 7 year old constantly asking question leading to spin

Know that feeling. 6 year old twins for me. Hoping the next time a race start time is discussed it moves to more like 8pm in the UK but that does not work for all.

Enjoyed the race and I do like the longer races more. Chance to settle down into a rhythm. At one point @Dennis Phelan was letting me past and because of my worn ties I could not get through in the gap he made for me! After he generously did the same for the next two corners I managed to make my car stick to the road (just) but I think I ruined Dennis's rhythm as he had a spin shortly after.

Sorry Dennis!

@Genci Estebanez I tried the 1 stop and it did not work. Close but would have ran out about 3 to 5 mins from end of race.

Got to work on my pit stop strategy though. Gambled on 1 stop (car takes 100l fuel max and I calculated I needed 205l for the race (absolute minimum). I hoped that with a pit stop and the fact I would not be in the top runners I would make it. It didn't work. Decided to pit for a splash of fuel and fresh tires about 20mins before end. Unfortunately I did not realise that my fuel load settings meant that it filled the car to what I set the fuel level to rather than adding that amount of fuel to what I had.

So when I went in the pits asking for 5l of fuel it just said sorry can not remove fuel from the car! Doh! Had to leave the pits and go in again a few laps later. My 1 stop strategy turned into 4!

I need to find the setting that controls if the fuel setting is added to the fuel you have or just tops up to the level set.

*edit* found the setting. It is called "Relative Fuel Strategy" in the player.plr and needs to be set to 1 rather than 0 as mine was.

Guys i'm sorry i won't get my wheel set up in time i think, fiddled all day with it and now i can't get the ffb tool to work anymore.
I'll still be there if i find a fix in time but it doesn't look too bright for the moment.
