What do you mean by problem?

Vintage tyres slide, on lower track grip they slide even more. Sliding is fun. No problem

I typed this on my fone and the (peep) software swallowed the smiley.

I have the same opinion about sliding as yours.

Hell, I sometimes do it irl.
( just yesterday I did a short demonstration run for some nice customers. It was a real chore

I was of the opinion that the Porsche was the more difficult to drive, now not so, you can really take liberties with it, not the fastest way around the track.

I have spent an hour with both of them. but losing it with the Porsche just means it goes into a four-wheel drift which you can coach back on to track eventually, without losing it, even going across the grass does not mean an automatic spin.
it really is a lot of fun.

I managed a sideways entry into the corner through the corner and out the other side and still the same angle down the straight after the corner, it all felt quite natural too.

Not sure it would be a good race strategy though.

But it is the most fun and stylish way to go round a corner! I do love the Porsche + Bridgehampton circuit. What a combo.

Here you are! It's also in the link in the 1st post.

And I saw you also signed up for the multiclass on Wednesday! You're joining a great community there with drivers that are very positive, helpful and respectful to each other.
Please read the first post from this thread also especially for the 'important' information in the green letters. https://www.racedepartment.com/thre...x5-monza-wednesday-8th-september-2021.207642/

And being on Discord is also important so you can hear my last minute pre race instructions.
Discord link for RaceDepartment is in the first post. I advise you to install the Discord app because the browser version doesn't support push-to-talk.
Here's how to navigate to the voice chat that we're going to use:

@Jordy van Oosten : Jordy, ook wel handig voor jou lijkt me.

@HF2000 Han, is auto blip disabled on the server? I ask 'cos I don't have a shifter so each downshift is locking the rear. It works fine offline btw

Hi John. Auto blip is not a setting on the server so I can't enable or disable it. You can see the settings in the event configuration.

When you log into the server is a small button "Assists" (bottom left I think) where you can enable those "cheats"

Or you could learn to Heel`n`Toe

Will look for that, thanks, heel and toe'd since I was 16, with no H shifter I feel there's a part missing

@HF2000 han, i have to miss the race this tuesday. Ive never been in a championchip before, so im not sure how to proceed. Can i miss a single race or should i drop from the championship to open the slot?

Hi Chris, you can miss races. Of course you will not get points for that event. But if you going to miss for example 3 out of 5 events, it's better to drop out to give someone else a chance. But missing one is not a problem.
