Thanks for organising, unfortunately I got disconnected after a few laps. Then couldn't find server again. Not sure what issue was unfortunately

Where you on discord? We all had the same issue and we restarted the server.

Thanks for the racing everyone. Had some great little battles, mostly concluded by me being too heavy on the loud pedal I thought I was going to take out Chris with one of my spins, but I managed to just keep it my side of the track.

These things are a bit of a handful, but a huge amount of fun. Still haven't quite figured out how to keep them properly balanced to stop them pushing especially on this track through the Schumacher-S.

Yeah, like Eric mentioned we had a few issues with the server. We have been running without the online reputation enabled for quite a while. We turned it off after we realised it was causing issues with the races, but decided to try an experiment to see if things had improved recently. As you may have gathered, we turned it off again

I think, after watching Stefan's wild style drift lap, that I was running the car too low in the first race. I can only manage those drift corners for a short while - I don't actually like fighting a car that much, it's too much effort and needs total focus. Anyhow, I was using the same gears and lines as Stefan but the Schumacher esses caught me out twice as I tried to go through in 4th and caught too much of the green on the inside of the right hand exit and spun. My car was as low as I could make it. I raised it for the 2nd race and was cautious through that chicane for a much better race.

I just went with the baseline setup, but it’s nearly impossible to get a clean lap
The entry/exit shift should be fixable with damper clicking, maybe I’ll try it in the next one
