[Piero Favretti]

Hello guys

Unfortunately I will not be able to make the race on the 9th I should be available the following weekend however. Have fun!

 

[BoogerMac]

Its a little too early for me in Hawaii (1500L) as I will be at my son's baseball game. I'm moving back to the mainland US in August, so I'll be more active then. Also, I'm planning to become a premium member in the next few days.

Those few days passed quickly

Please sign me in. Don't know if I'll love Amateur mode but I'll take this one as a test

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

grandprix or automobilsport version?

 

[Lorenzo Bonder]

GP, but honestly it doesn't make a difference same layout

 

[Kenny Paton]

Hungover or sober these will be an exhilarating start to the new year. Although just in case anyone's feeling fragile we'll run these at amateur level.

[Lars Hansen]

Open-wheelers.....meh.
On the other hand, it is Zandvoort.....
Yeah what the hell, I'm in.

 

[Brian Greenwood]

Not sure on this one....

Happy new year Kenny and all at RD

lets hope 2016 makes me a Champion

 

[Gerbuho]

I'll try to be there

 

[RustyDriver00]

Yeah sure, sign me up

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

GP, but honestly it doesn't make a difference same layout

didn't test both layouts but on leaderboard seems auto is some 2sec faster

 

[Lars Hansen]

Hmmm....
Well, I've had a brief run at it, and...
The FR2s aren't fun in Amateur mode. There's absolutely no chance of spinning, no matter how badly you treat it.
Just as a test I went down the front straight, and instead of braking normally for Turn 1, I went full opposite-lock and jammed the brake to the floor.
Not only did I not spin, I didn't even slide. Just came to a gentle stop.....
Assists are all very well, but this is ridiculous.
Worst part is that I'm only 3/10ths faster in Amateur than in Get Real.

Now, I realize that not all of us are equally adept at driving these things, and I'm also fully aware that the Hockenheim race was a bit of a nightmare, but....
First of all, Zandvoort is a hell of a lot more forgiving a track than Hockenheim.
You don't have those quick left/right-handers, nor any tight hairpins in 1st gear.
Zandvoort has two places where you might conceivably throttle yourself into a spin, the 180 at turn 3 or 4, and the other 180 near the end.
And as long as you remember to get back on the throttle gradually instead of mashing the pedal, you're fine.
Second....This is me.
And while I have been accused of being many things in my life (occasionally with some truth to it), I don' think anyone has ever mistaken me for an expert driver.
Certainly not in open-wheelers.

So try softening the dampers by 2 clicks all around to compensate for all those bumps, then give it a whirl in Get Real mode.
Obviously, if people insist, I'll still do it in Amateur mode.
But I refuse to have fun doing so.

 

[Gerbuho]

this goes amateur too?

 

[Lars Hansen]

this goes amateur too?

Second line in the OP.
