AC Fat-Alfie Championship Round 4@Deutschlandring, Wed 30th October 2024

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

For the fourth race of the Fat-Alfie championship 2024 we're moving back to Germany.

Deutschlandring - a showcase for 1930s German engineering, boasting the fastest corner in Grand Prix racing, designed to host the 1940 German Grand Prix... destined never to be used at all.

In the 1930s, the government of Nazi-Germany constructed a circuit that was to replace the infamous Nordschleife of the Nürburgring. The new track allowed for much faster speeds and, being exactly 10km in length, was to have much quicker lap times. The circuit extended from an old hillclimb track near the town of Hohnstein, just a short drive south of Dresden, into a large oval. The designers got their inspiration from a number of legendary racing circuits around the world, including Mellaha at Tripoli, Linas-Monthléry, Monza and of course the Nürburgring. And there was no doubt that propaganda for Nazi Germany played a key role. This was to be the track to end all tracks. On April 27th, 1939, the circuit was
baptised Deutschlandring.

I was curious too, can't see anything in the main thread about tyre choices. But then, I'm easily confused

It shouldn't. It's configured with only V80 allowed.

EDIT: I get no other options than the V80 on the server.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Im getting V80 in the tyre menu

Timing says that you drove hard slicks (H)...compare my column which is (V80) https://acsm.racedepartment.com/live-timing?server=0

 

[Medilloni]

Haven't seen Jason and Fulvio around for a while, they still racing here?
Asking because they really set a (ridiculously) high bar to aim for, nice guys too

So maybe a bug in Emperor that was corrected when you reloaded the car. So you're now driving on the V80. The results in Emperor now shows that you're on V80. Earlier results showed Hards. But looking at the laptimes compared to the one you did in single player on hards, that you were on the V80 on the server although Emperor showed Hards.

Not going to be in today's race as i have been unwell the last day or 2 and feel at my worst right now. Was hoping I would be better by tonight but no luck, with that i will do my best to make the next one.

Oh crap! My gearbox broke 10 minutes before the end. I didn't think that could happen. I recently lost the damage report. Does anyone know where to turn this on and off? I couldn't see it getting redder and redder. Should have slowed down a bit. Well, it happens, just like in real life. Congratulations to Han!

It was still fun!

Get well soon Jason.
Nice racing tonight guys, I forgot to put the car in gear at the start and then early battles with everyone in mid field, so an early pit stop and clear air allowed me to take P2 at the finish. Great racing all.

Tomorrow night some JCW fun, join if you can.

Take care, Jason!

Wow, I think this was my best race ever. Both in pace and racing it was my night, loved this. No(!) crashes, just a small code brown at the chicane of death.

PB in practice right away, pb'd in qualy again. Race from P2 with a good start, but three seconds later rocket renaults flying by and trolleys all over me and Thomas at the end of the straight. After that, battling through the hillls with Thomas, Jari and Rico. Thomas again some laps later and Ernie and Allan got in the mix as well. A shame Hank had to leave (and Jose with connection problems, Kimi in the pitt most of the race).

Really enjoyed this one, thanks all!! the most close racing I've ever done in multi class and survived, so nice!

Congrats Han and Paul on the top steps and thanks Han for organizing.

Next!
