[Simon Trendell]

I'll join this evening in the HPD.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Ill hop in as well, not sure what car to pick as i havent driven iRacing for weeks. Not sure if i can finish the entire evening though.

 

[Saul Boucher]

Well I must be a sucker for punishment, but I think I'll drive the Ford GT. I've been obsessed with attempting to tame that beast.

 

[Brian Clancy]

sorry guys, I bailed out, did about 10 practice laps and spun every single one dislike both the new cars, I drive with one leg and cant find a set up thats usuable and solid under braking. I was certain to take somebody out in the race if I had stayed in Thank God for the C6

 

[Simon Trendell]

Sorry Dave for the incident at Pouhon, I hope I didn't cause any or too much damage. That was entirely my fault as I timed it completly wrong.

 

[Rudy van Buren]

Hmm, thought i had it pretty much under controle until the pistops came closer, started to look to much at fuel and as soon as the focus is gone for a tiny moment i spin quite stupidly and hit the front cover of..

Had fun until that part though, Cu tomorrow at suzuka F1

 

[Rudy van Buren]

Ill try to be there!

 

[Dario Jagar]

one too many mistake from my side, or maybe two...sorry Xavier, tried to move after spin, looked at F3, it said few secs but for GT few secs are obviously not enough to re-spin...

thx RD, Ramon

congrats James, Joe

P.S. at least I had "best" avg time 2:27.925 :tongue:

 

[George Pilkington]

I had a GREAT time!
Thanks dudes.
Did not hit anyone, made 3 mistakes. 2 pits for repairs. 8th. Nice.
Thanks
George
who had one lap sober in that car before qualy... ; )

 

[Joe Hubbard]

This was a fantastic race everyone, I must say for the most part everyone did a great job with the different classes. I will do a pictorial for this event so stay tuned!

 

[Morten Wernersen]

Qually went ok I was 8th
racestarted okay I had a little spin on the 2nd lap I think, and just avoided to hit the barrier, but about 26 mins in to the race this happend :eek:

I then got towed to the pits and had a break for about 3.5min while my car was fixed, got back on track and had a reasonable race home to a 4th place, I had a bit of a strange race with the big chrash, but it was fun eventho

I have a little bug when I'm in the game, I cant engage the pitlimiter, it works on and off, has anyone else have this problem?

 

[Marko Buhin]

i can only say 2 things about this race:
1st is sorry to Dennis for a tap from behind on lap 2.
2nd is about my race, and thats that it ended before it started - in quali. but i'm not gonna comment it as it's not for forum

anyway, hope others had fun and i'm waiting for another chance, maybe a road america with this cars would be a good idea

 

[Marko Buhin]

I have a little bug when I'm in the game, I cant engage the pitlimiter, it works on and off, has anyone else have this problem?

You can practice this on practice session:
when you hit the Practice button you are in your pit stall. then hit pit limiter button and it will work.
when you are on the track and going into the pit, do this: when braking for the limit hit limiter - not after you got under the limit. i've tested it today on race. when you hit the limiter on back straight on spa it works and if you hit it in chicane it doesnt. so, if your going i.e. for spa over 60kmph you'll be able to use limiter, and if you are going under 60kmph you can press it as much time as you wont, it wont turn on!

hope evebody understood this. if not, ask

 

[Gerry Moersdorf]

I'll Be driving the Ford GT, here's a link to my paint on trading paints: http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/48243

I downloaded all the cars from the sign up list I could find.

Hopefully I'll be bringing another RD licensed member with me, is it required to be on the sign up list?

 

[Will Marquez]

Sweeet looking paint Gerry! Added it to the RaceDepartment Paints list on Trading Paints.

As long as they are a RD licensed member they are more than welcome to join in for tomorrow's event.

 

[Gerry Moersdorf]

Thanks! That list was very helpfull.

 

[Ryan von Steinen]

So tomorrow evening I will just look for the Rd server in the host list? I'm new to RD iRacing, thanks for the help

 

[Will Marquez]

Yep, just look for a RACEDEPARTMENT.COM LMS server and use the RD club event password (located in the first post of this thread) and you are good!

So tomorrow evening I will just look for the Rd server in the host list? I'm new to RD iRacing, thanks for the help

 

[Tom Van Put]

I had a lot of fun!

When I first tried to get on the server the game would freeze, so I tried a few times to get in. I saw in the chat that this can cause the game to freeze for a tenth of a second for everyone. I do apologize for this, I wasn't aware that this happens.

As for the race, I had to start dead last because I hadn't had the chance to qualify. But at the finish I was second of the GT field to my own surprise!
Only had 2 small spins, and haven't had any incidents with other cars. Al though it was very close on some occasions. Overtaking the GT in corners like Eau Rouge, Les Combes and the double left-hander is pretty, lets say, brave ;-)

 

[George Pilkington]

Morten, thats a funny comment at the end! Nice one!
