Bram Hengeveld · Mar 31, 2023

Quick heads-up. I wont be there for this event. @Dave Stephenson has kindly offered to put up the server but I am not sure if somebody is able to maintain the sign up thread.

We need your creativity

I'm in!

aredM · Apr 7, 2023

Sign me up as well, please.

This is my first RD-race, so I hope I don't have issues signing in.
VR-driver here, so I'm not very communicative during races.

Be assured, during the Mini races others will talk for you...

Kryztov · Apr 7, 2023

I'm unsure to make it, came down with covid and kinda depending on how fit I am tonight.

Lucas Degen · Apr 7, 2023

So this is the entrylist for now:

1. Lucas Degen HOST
2. CK1249
3. F2020
4. aredM
5. Reiche

Reiche · Apr 7, 2023

For what I can see you're missing @F2020 in your list... (Edit: okay, doesn't make a difference as Ramon is out)

And I'm going to give this combo a try now, I'll be at least another 'maybe' for now

Reiche · Apr 7, 2023

Fuel consumption 1x? Standing start? 30 minutes + 1 lap?

Just did a test practice session and 25+1 lap race, accelerated fuel and tyres, with my game freezing with 4 seconds on the watch, approx. 5 car lengths in front of my waiting pit crew. Hope that’s not a bad omen

30 minutes yes. I'm hosting so bear with me.

CK1249 · Apr 7, 2023

@Lucas Degen thanks a lot for hosting and for the great evening. Just had a beer and folded some laundry while watching you and Stefan's race. That was a really cool battle. Liked the divebomb into T1 and the "nuts maneuvre". Hope to see you all again soon on track and Happy Easter

aredM · Apr 8, 2023

Yes, thanks @Lucas Degen, I had a great time. Looking forward to join more races.

It may have looked boring, but it was plenty intense in the cockpit anyway. I don't think I've done any races before in the Mini without spinning at least once, never mind 30 minutes at that pace. Serious Hamilton-syndrone. Are my tires going? Have I calculated the fuel correctly? Is he coming closer? Am I losing power? Is damage even on in this race? Have I abused the gearbox too much?

I'll have a look at the replay later today to see what I've missed!
