Do the two races (FWD-RWD and Classic) really take place in the same week? Not alternating like before?

 

[JamKart22]

Yes, same week. Gives you chance to practice for the same track in the same week. Plus you can do the FWD-RWD race while the track is fresh in the mind. No one else has mentioned it really.

If folks would like the races on alternate weeks then like this post. There are 11 entries atm - so I'd want 6 likes before changing the calendar.

 

[H_Belane]

I hope for change. If there was a day off, ok. But right after each other, too strenuous.

 

[BaldPaul]

Well that's a bit of a tricky Johnnie isn't it...

For the first time in a month or so working from home tomorrow so hopefully be able to get a few laps in between meetings otherwise I feel this is going to be another solo event...

Comfortably leading the race (that's a first) then went off and hit a lamppost. Tried to get it back to the pits but the pit crew refused to straighten my bent wheel. What a frustrating hobby I'm addicted to!

Well done if you managed to finish the race in one piece

 

[H_Belane]

That was the craziest race I've ever done here on RD!

Yeah and many apologies for hitting you on my pit entry Hank. A complete mess up on my part misjudging the closing speed as you braked for the last corner, damn and sorry again.

No problem. It just happened. But thanks for the apology.

The pit entrance at Feldbergring is getting even better

I just quit,was getting really bad stuttering,something im looking into right now..

 

[JamKart22]

I get that if there is some backup activity going on in the background. Or a virus scan.

Five different leaders! It looks like Richard's start from the pits was the way to go!
It was so easy to make a mistake and we all know when you go off here there are lamp posts just waiting to ruin your race.
I saw all the smoke from Colin's incident and it reminded me that the same has happened to me here, I think it was in the Lotus 25, so the 10% damage can be breached if the impact is hard enough.
Some good racing though, well done to Richard and all who finished. That crest was a killer though, you think you have it nailed then next lap you do the same line and boom!, you are going backwards through the jungle!
Thanks for setting this up Colin and bad luck on your race, I'm sure you will get that win soon though.

There is more good racing to be had with the F4 cars on Thursday, you need to sign up if you want to race, even if you have raced before.

AC - Formula Thursday-F4 at Silverstone on October 3rd

Welcome to the AC Racing Club. After the first test last week, we are trying out the F4 again, this time at Silverstone and this time with an open set up. With the recent release of another excellent car from the guys at Race Sim Studios, we are trying out the F4 car with a view to running it...

so the 10% damage can be breached if the impact is hard enough

I kept this picture to document what damage 10% can do. Was also in an RD race.
