AC Legends Ford 34@Brands Hatch Indy, Tue 18th October 2022

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

After an exhausting championshiprace it's now time to relax in a fun way. The Ford ‘34 Coupe can deliver fun and excitement to Rookies and Pros alike. Its Yamaha engine powers the car quickly to compensate for its 1100 lb. weight. With the weight being under 1 US Ton (2000 lbs, 907 kg), this tiny car remains a popular short-track racing vehicle to many people that go to those tracks. Not a very fast racecar but to the fans, action and good fun matters the most. It's family of the Ford '33 Coupe 'Eliminator' that you may know from the videoclip of ZZ Top's song 'Gimme All Your Loving'. The chosen short track is Brands Hatch Indy.

IF THE KNOWN S.GP BUG APPEARS (all cars disappear when the lights go out), please don't do anything. The host will restart the session in a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME.

Awesome car choice! You need to stay on the throttle to be able to turn! So much fun!

I saw these IRL several years ago on the Indy circuit, it was the best race of the day with very close racing. Looking forward to this one!

 

[Shed 17]

Just a taster of what's to come, hope we get a large grid because the more there is the more fun to be had! Just need to find a pig to hang out of the rear window now!

OK, just tried out your plastic pig sty and it is horrible. I will give it a go if i can at least change that squealing pig sound for something i can face hearing when i have to drive it for a whole hour!

Fixed the sound guys. Swopped the sound from a Honda S800, revs for ever and sounds so much better than that **** noise it makes, In my opinion only of course.

Hi guys! I wanted to drive this car with H-shifter in order to keep on getting used to it. However, I can't shift. Isn't the car prepared for it? I've tried other cars to see if controls were a trouble but no, they worked.

In the description of the cars it says: manual sequential so I guess no H-shifter

Probably because they use a Yamaha motorcycle engine/gearbox which is sequential IRL.
However, IRL they don't have a reverse gear unlike this mod in AC!.

Am losing the will to live here guys. Could someone please persuade me that all the effort i am giving this plastic pig to make it behave is worth it. Is this not supposed to be a fun hobby or am i getting it confused with board games

 

[Kek700]

Yes, i kind of get what you mean.

[Alfred Wayne]

Classic first lap accordion effect Sorry to those I outbraked behind me. Found myself staring at a driver side door instead of tail lights all of a sudden

Outside of that little dust up, had some really good laps with a variety of drivers today. Good pace following Neal and Colin to catch up to Han and others. Really fun trying to find that line between speed and tire spin and beating the guy in front to getting the throttle down.

Also, I think it was Jari, your cars livery had a giant owl staring back at on the trunk lid, which was fun to follow behind

Good choice Han. Would run these again at a similar type track. Even maybe a short oval could be fun for 30/45 min

Good racing all, see you tomorrow for the championship

 

[nepal roade]

well that was a lot of fun, thanks Han for a great combo. I had some great battles either chasing someone of keeping someone at bay or a bit of both, had a nice consistent pace and finished 6th (started 9th). Over fueled again by 5 liters or might have got a bit higher. And I liked the multi pit stops, gave a proper break so I could adjust my cooling fan. haha. Some good clean and respectful racing too. "Happy happy joy joy"
