AC GT3 @ Imola - Sunday 9th August 2020

Assetto Corsa Racing Club event
ok I just signed up.....and now I have to sign out again ..already....seems me wife decided we go for a drink nextdoor lol. Woulda been nice if she discussed this before arranging it ! Ah well....next time
 
well, had a good start and then saw too many incidents in front of me and with some luck i manage to avoid it.
Was in 7th place looking forward for a good race and batle with th 6th and 8th real closing but then i washit on the back and off road.
IWhen came back to race, tires were warm and spun.

I know we all do mistakes, and i do it too, but there are some corners that u realyy shouldnt even consider try to pass.

Myself took foot off in lap 2 to let someone teke meto avoid a dangerous turn.
No fun.
 
What a frustrating race. I filled the tank and went for mediums, and suffered in the first half of the race only to start reaping the benefits in the second half.

Then I was disqualified by the server for not making a pitstop (just after @Chris Down lapped me), except I did make a pitstop about halfway? I pulled into the pits, stopped in my box, but did not need to add fuel or tyres since I already had enough. What did I do wrong?

Really frustrating as with 10 to go I was running in 7th or 8th, and I feel I've slogged for 50 mins with a heavy car for no reward :(

I'm afraid to "pit", as documented at the top before the race, you must add either 1l+ or change tyres (or both). Sorry to hear that :(

You have to add a minimum of 1L fuel to make it a valid pit stop
 
Great race everyone! That's the first time I ever did a faster lap in the race than qualifying in a GT3 event, so I'm chuffed with that. I spent the whole of the first stint pushing as hard as I could just to see if the tyres would hold on, and they did, so I just did it all over again for the second stint. A lot of fun just pushing as hard as possible for 60 minutes :inlove:

Congrats to @Spilskinanka for his first ever 2nd place!

I know it was pretty tough with the heat and the technical track, so next week let's go somewhere a bit more relaxing. Stay tuned tomorrow to find out where it is :thumbsup:
