AC Cancelled Three cars @ Zandvoort on Tue, 19th July

[abecede]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club. Newbies and Pros alike!​

Choose one of three cars:

• Maserati 250F 6 cylinder
• Alfa Romeo GTA
• Abarth 500 EsseEsse

All of them are on pace with each other according to hundreds of hotlappers, but with totally different characteristics. (The Maserati is an especially wild beast to tame!)
Here are the times of all those hotlappers:

Car	Best time (seconds)	20th percentile (seconds)
Abarth 500 EsseEsse	127.0	131.5
Alfa Romeo GTA	127.0	131.5
Maserati 250F 6 cylinder	126.5	131.0

We'll drive in the Netherlands on Circuit Zandvoort!

Is this cancelled??

 

[abecede]

not yet, but I guess we'll cancel it. Only two hours left until qualifying. I made the mistake to not announce this thing a lot earlier, because I realized just yesterday evening that I could host today...

Let's wait an hour, and if we have at least 10 drivers in the race, we'll do it. Less than 10 doesn't make any sense I guess.

SO JOIN NOOOW!!!​

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Are you putting the track up then..

 

[abecede]

what do you mean by that? (not native speaker here - I don't know what "putting sthg up" means.) If you mean "cancel" then yes, I'll cancel the race if we don't have 10 people at 17:00 UTC (an hour from now)

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Where is the practice server??

 

[abecede]

didnt make one yet... ok for you to try in single user, since I'd have to create it from scratch

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Well thats the whole point in getting people interested..No point signing up if there is,nt a track to practice on..Using single user will not cut it

I am in. Please send me the password.

Looks like we're out of luck today... Four drivers simply doesn't make a race. Maybe one of the next times we can do this for real, guys. I'm sure this combo can be awesome with more drivers - but sadly not today... I'll cancel the event on s.gp. *sniff*

In any case, THANK YOU for trying to join folks! I'll post waay earlier next time.

Wish I could have made it but had some work come up. Definitely would sign up again with these cars. Had been playing around with the maserati lately

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Yup same, due to the heat I was out swimming but the combo looked awesome!
