Qualified 7th on primes. Moved up to about 4th iirc due to people ahead of me going wide on turn 1. Can't remember who was ahead of me into hangar but I had a run on them, and they went a bit wide through stowe which put us level. I knew I couldn't just turn in hard through Vale so took a wider line into the left hander. Sadly lack of sportsmanship prevented whoever it was from returning the favour as they cut right across my front wing knocking me. Then as I accelerated out I was pushed from behind so that my car was in danger of going sideways. I had to coome full off the accelerator and hit the brakes to get control, at which point mattie overtook me.

I spent the rest of the race until the pit stops slowly losing time to mattie ahead of me, with him about 9s ahead as he pitted. I came out to traffic, and followed Bill around not being fast enough to pressure him to finish 4th.


There are some really sucky racers on here that care far more about their own personal finishing position than sportsmanship. Mattie I hope that was not you that was pushing me on the first lap because if it was that's the 3rd race in a row I have had where you have only gotten past me due to making contact.

Only trouble with practising on TT mode is that everything is so different to GP mode in that you have maximum grip, perfect tyres and minimum fuel, etc the whole time. It is a lot of fun but I really don't use that part of the game much any more and prefer to do all my practising in full GP mode. Having said that I may give it a bash later on just to see what time I can reach

What corner in 4th is it that you are referring to Mark. Oh and yes the cars are different in the GP mode of the game. Thanks for posting your sectors, I'll check mine out later today, first sector I am pretty sure is around the same as yours but am pretty sure that my sector 1 and 2 is at around the 52/53 second mark which would make sector 2 about 35 seconds.

The Fanatec wheels look amazing but they are just well out of my league cost wise. I am sticking with my trusty MC2 unless it breaks down or I win the lottery!!

David, if I see any house bricks heading my way during the race I'll know where to come buddy haha

I don't know where you're talking about tg, but the only one I hit yesterday was joery, and that was just a slight hit( joery didn't even mention it). you were behind me in the first lap I guess? but if you think I'm reckless give me your video.

On Saturday's race you had a dirty duel with jackfeelsnerves and with me you just rammed me on the inside in luffield. But you're laggin as hell maybe that's why everyone hits you, think about it!

I had a good quali run 1.31,2 on primes and was happy with it. In the race I was able to remain within 8 seconds to joery. I knew he was on options so I had a change to win this race. I had a gap of 8 seconds to tgwulfyn when I got in for options. when I came out I was just behind Joery who was on primes.I overtook him at hangar straight. Sorry for that little hit Joery. after I passed Joery I just got my car home.

 

[David O'Reilly]

Yes Pete,
deliberately avoided giving you the M/Benzas I know you sit in the car.

 

[Peter Hooper]

Cheers mate, if I ever end up in that I'll be having a word with my engineers to fit a few of your house bricks under my seat

its turn 10 just as you come from 9 full throttle, i was hitting limiter on apex for ten (if that makes sense) adjusted it now! didn't like changing up on the apex as it was sending me wide onto the rumble strips an those dustbin lid things.

 

[Dylan Hember]

Am i in the Lotus again? Just want to check so i can do some practice in it. Not really feeling good about this race, but i will have ago.

 

[Dylan Hember]

Yes Mark you can, please add me on XBL: H3MB3RD

 

[Mark Greenall]

Dear missus,
please can i spend some of my hard earned wages on a fanatec wheel,
i promise to cook/clean mow the lawn and walk the bloody dog,
if you cannot allow this in your heart.. i will gladly accept 2 tickets to silverstone for this weekend (2nd ticket for the big hungry grizzly bear i intend on setting on vettel if takes pole position)
thank you kindly

Oh now I get you.. that corner can catch you out at times as you can eaasily get caught out and sent into a spin. The following right hander used to be the one causing me most problems as I found it hard to judge the turn in and often ran wide but thankfully I have that pretty much sorted now. Just need to work out a better way through the hairpin now as I am sure that's where I lose most time.

 

[David O'Reilly]

Dylan,
yes mate, you are in the Lotus.
Full list is updated in the O.P. (original post).

 

[Mark Greenall]

A point i just remembered to bring up!! last race i was penalised for illegal blocking (the formation lap) this needs to be addressed as it was bloody frustrating been penalised for doing nothing. any suggestions?

 

[Richard Knight]

Oops. can't delete this message!

 

[Peter Hooper]

Yeah the penalty system in the game is prettty buggy. Drive throughs \ DSQ's etc are a pain in the backside when you have done nothing to warrant them. Our adhoc formation lap is bound to throw up instances like these i'm afraid.

 

[Deane Cockerill]

mmm you all seem to be forgetting my performance so far. Last spot is mine!

 

[David O'Reilly]

Yes Mark, good point.
What were the circumstances if you can remember?
We have that long straight in sector 2 to hopefully sort ourselves out.
We need the car tier 1 then 2 drivers to really go for it so the drivers in the tier 5 cars drop back without needing to crawl along at 50mph. Car tiers 3 and 4 prob don't need to be too anal about position just in the middle of the group.
Other than that I guess keep left unless overtaking and do a reasonable speed.
Maybe if you need to get back the order in a hurry have a slight off track excursion (but not a corner cut)

No you were behind me at the first lap and only overtook me after Vale. I did not have a dirty duel with anyone on Saturday, and this was another race where you hit me to get past. I did not ram you in luffield you missed the brake and turn in and went wide whereas I took the racing line and slowed to hold it whilst you came back in hard to make contact. But of course that only meant that you had the opportunity to hit me again to get past later.

You say I'm lagging a lot, but for me it's you that is ghosting, and you are the only one who is. Also check everyone else's videos and you see that I don't lag for them, just for you. Even if I am ghosting to you rather than take a correct line or be patient you just use a ghosting car as an excuse to drive through them, not thinking about the consequences of the lag ending - that's what ruined my race in the valencia rerun. This is supposed to be for sim racers, not crash kiddies. Think about it.
