Fake 24 Hours of Donington - Friday May 27, 2022​

 

[Kryztov]

I'm in please!

 

[MarkModdy]

@Bram Hengeveld and all, sorry going to have to withdraw from tonight been called into work… sorry for late notice

Have a great race all

 

[jimortality]

I'm also withdrawing from tonight, hope you have a good race guys.

I'm finding this a bit beyond my capabilities, the cars are a bit too fast for my old man's responses.

Have you tried the porsche? I find it more forgiving than the others. I'll probably choose the masochistic option and go for the McLaren though as it sounds great

 

[Kryztov]

I don't know if I will make it in time, my dog suddenly can't walk anymore so I'm off to see the vet shortly.

I did just now, but unfortunately it is not really any better. At the speeds these cars go on a tighter twistier track like Donni, compared to last weeks race of historic Hock, the direction changes are just too much for me and are making feel a bit ill. I guess this is partly the reason that I like the historic versions of tracks like Hock, Silverstone, Monza, Ostereichring, pretty much all of them. Thanks for the suggestion Deaks, but I'm going to have to skip this one sadly.

i'm a late sign-up

 

[Smidgey]

Late drop out for me. Broken finger making driving for any length of time too uncomfortable.

 

[Bhutch88]

I missed the start, said half 8 quali start but race had already started. Sorry lads

Same here, was already in the last minute of qualifying

I think you got lucky, it was chucking it down the whole race and was really hard work to just it keep on the track.

 

[Paul Glover]

Had pace in the dry but then came the rain, tough race physically and mentally. @Bram Hengeveld Think it might be worthwhile avoiding rain in the future, even the more experienced racers struggled.

I agree with Paul @Bram Hengeveld. The rain is a fun mixup for shorter sprint races, but 60 minutes of clenched butt cheeks is a bit uncomfortable!

@Peter Stokman , was it you I shunted just after the chicane? Apologies for that, I was so darn focused on not losing it through there that I didn't notice you backed off to let me by

 

[Kek700]

given the wrong car, could not compete.
Might have been a lucky call reading the above.

Hi yes i was the 2nd chichane but no problem this rain was making a lot off things invisable and yeh understand you needed focus as crazy to stay on the road , when you guys passed me (a lot) i couldnt see also a damm thing from the watercurtain behind other cars.
II agree also with you that 60minutes rain was a bit to much(Bram likes being hard on us ) It was so hard (at least for me) to keep car straight the slightest amount of throttle made me spin , lol i spinned more times then the #of laps i completed
