AC Multiclass Abarth500/Mazda MX5@Magione, Wed 20th July 2022

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

Magione is a short track divided into a long straight and a technical winding section with fast and slow corners. So well suited to this multi-class where the Abarths have to try to stay close to the Mazdas in the twisty section for a high speed overtake on the straight.

At first this looks like a circuit in favor of the Abarth but the last race at the RedBullRing taught us that surprises are possible with these cars.

It's a multiclass and for some more excitement and action we bend the rules a bit: BLUE FLAGS CAN BE IGNORED IF THE LAPPING CAR IS FROM A DIFFERENT CLASS!

So join us for another exciting race and:

Signed up with the Mazda!

I must say, I tried the MAD Kart here also and it fits like a glove in this track.

Both versions!

This track is short and narrow so I just ran a race with Ai to check traffic... it's gonna get cozy I can tell you already! Oh, and we need more crabwalkers!

 

[H_Belane]

Send Han @HF2000 a PM for the password. Heads up: you'll need to use your real name on AC for the race.

Not sure yet that I'll be in. I just returned from a diagnostic check and it appears that my shoulder presents calcifications and the trapezius has a contracture. In addition, I'm still waiting for the processor of the new computer and as the last race was so plagued by the poor performances (of both the computer and the driver ) I'll decide on the way.

Hopefully at least the hardware will be here already. Getting to have a functioning computer, is all another story

 

[JamKart22]

I built my own from scratch a while ago and it was remarkably easy. So best of luck

Man, that sucks... did they give you a treatment to follow? Hope you get well soon.

Yeah, anti-inflammatory for the pain and evaluate the need of further actions for the calcification, and physiotherapy for the muscles. How this will come to an agreement with the 1+1 hour drive to the office is yet to be decided..

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

@maxilogan plenty of rest,ice/heat packs,try light excercises to keep muscles going,i had it when i did bodybuilding many years ago..Rotating the shoulders while squeezing into your neck helped me,mind u it was 24 inch lol..

 

[stigs2cousin]

Omar,

I've provisionally entered for tomorrow but work will determine if I am available.

I'm also short of practice on the track and probably off the pace but I will give it a go.

 

[Douglas Aird]

My money is on Han for the class win.

Are you sticking with the Abarth to see if it's good for the overall, Han? @HF2000

Switched to the Mazda. Not much fun in this heat only to annoy the other drivers. And I expect the MX5 to be so much easier on this track so more relaxed.
I will be off the pace though without any practice.

Not sure if it's a applicable to AC, it's supposed to be..., but if you have trouble joining the server you might need to login to s.gp on your racing pc.

[Alfred Wayne]

Yeah, when it's this hot you have to choose the convertible

Hope I can make it today, have some plans that are teetering on getting in the way of this
