A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.

Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. You will get 2 warnings before a 5 second penalty for exceeding track limits to your advantage. Any warnings/penalties are displayed in the chat window at the end of each lap.

That's an "interesting" idea

I'll join if "Death from Behind" is not on the grid.

Anthony Reid?

 

[stigs2cousin]

Nope.

There's another driver who divebombed/punted me three times last year.
I won't name him, most people have heard of the argument anyways.

 

[Reik Major]

Wow! This combo is really a handful.

In comparison the R8 GT3 a few weeks ago felt like a sunday walk.

+1 , had a few nightmare laps tonight, just trying to hang on. Lyrics from 'The Passenger', floated through my lonely brain cell, no idea why

 

[Reik Major]

Nice one John! Song and lap time. Not bad for "a few nightmare laps".

When I drive this combo, I'm sometimes in the mood of the following song.

Steaming through Pflanzgarten and Sprunghügel makes my inner voice scream like they do from 1:52 in this clip.

 

[stigs2cousin]

D.f.b. is not on the grid, but work threw me a curve ball.
I'll be working late tomorrow.

I hope the English players do their job within the 90 minutes. I definitely need some more training.

More likely 0-0 all the way to penalties!

 

[H_Belane]

So training and qualification in one.

Yep, we've done similar recently here.

 

[Medilloni]

Hope you guys have a great eve's racing

Get well soon John.

Two absolutely fantastic races this evening. Great battles with Robert and Ernie in the first race and an epic battle with Reik in the second. Really cool, I'll keep the replay of that. These cars on THIS track simply look outstanding!

All in all: awesome!

Same problem with the Nissan, the Volvo also has no ABS it just buggers up my racing, I just cannot brake consistently plus I am on 80% brake power. But at least the Volvo was nice to drive from my perspective. just could not get the lap times out of the old crate.
dragging 25kg up the hill was no joke either.
Let’s hope BTCC remains back in the 1990’s
The power diffential is almost right to the Primera and BMW, so no complaints there, but the 25kg really tells out of some corners, and up the.hill even with a tow it was struggling only coming alive in the last 200m, but by then it was a very risky situation for me, especially without ABS it was an accident waiting to happen.
Had two terrible races which did not lift my mood about these old crates

 

[Kek700]

@Medilloni
Yes John make sure you look after yourself, hope to see you back soon.
Cheers

Yes, I meant that for myself when it was clear that the England game was going into overtime. But after the goal in the first minute I got into the car. I was sure the thing was over now. And that's how it was.

 

[Shed 17]

Some very impressive times at the front guys, well done to the podiums in both races.

I was happy to get the Bimmer around without too much drama, that was the first time I had raced it since my first online race here five years ago and it was fun.

If anyone is interested, The BMW is one of six cars in our ACEurocar race at Silverstone on July 11th.

We could do with some more drivers to make it more interesting in both classes.
