Patience is a virtue and as RL is still in beta we first iron (lol) out bugs before posting it to the ranks.

Thanks for the update, Bram. I can wait, no problem.

 

[Norman Bruce]

I was having frame speed issues so i pulled out.

I also had to screw down my settings as I was getting stuttering on this track, I tried another track and everything was ok so I think that it is just this circuit that causes the low frame rates.

My race was very enjoyable, I spent most of it either behind or in front of Dennis, sometimes side by side . I made it into the top ten due to Rupe's end of race problems, but top 10 is good for me
Thanks to everyone who organised and took part in this event

 

[Kamil Paczos]

But I already am licensed member? You're talking about another license?

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Kamil Paczos, you are all set! When you first posted, there was, for some reason, no "Licensed Member" banner above your name. It is there now

utp#10Server is UP!

 

[Nox]

I'm in, please!

 

[Justin Swan]

Grid's filling up nicely

 

[Matthias]

ah ok why not this one too.
sign me up please

 

[Justin Swan]

I'll have a go if just for the experience of it
They drive just like a mini right? just a little quicker? and a little lower? and a little noisier?

 

[Dennis Phelan]

They drive just like a Mini. You never really feel the speed. It's more like music.

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

Like a mini? Sign me up then.

After this, everything will be in slow motion...

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Oh yeah, plenty of time to see the Belgian country side while cruising on that stretch of road from Francorchamps towards Malmedy!

 

[Dennis Phelan]

I thought that maybe with plenty of time on track and having run through so many setup iterations and having a good feeling with the car that I might be competitive. As Quali progressed I could see I would still be at the bottom of the classification so a bit bummed, stayed in the pit. Managing to only have to slow a bit for the gathering in T1 and not receiving any damage when I ran afoul of the Guus & Warren love nest. L1 did in fact end up giving me a good feeling. I had a good plan for pitting and stuck to it and it ended up putting me in a position to have a great fight with Norman and Jason for ten laps or so. I can't think of too many times I've been with two other drivers for so long and only about 1-2 seconds between us. Certainly we "flubbed " a bit under the pressure but it was always close and fair! I "Flubbed" enough on my own but never hit anything or got damage, that was good!

I hope Rupe can find out why his fuel consumption was so high. Warren' car had much more understeer in the race than in any practice. In looking at the replay Warren, I can see that after Guus hit you there was a huge dent in your rear bumper and I think that was the cause of your problem.

Most of the racing looked to be fair and clean, but I haven't looked at the entire race. Seems the tussle at the first corner greatly affected only drivers that crossed over the white line with all four wheels, of course there's no telling what can happen when you're out of bounds! Guus wanted to make up time quickly, his first bump took out only himself, the second Warren and I, but a trooper, he waited for us to rejoin before starting up again eventually coming in on the podium.

You all know that this even and the preliminary run two weeks ago would not have happened without the desire and dedication of Yves Larose. His love of fast RWD cars brought you all this event, I was just the messenger. He prepared all the flyers and promotional goodies, picked the venues and made the special edition of the mod to make the event a real challenge. Please send him a PM thanking him for his effort and maybe he'll do it again for us!

Lastly, a Thanks to all that signed up and made the race! What would it be without you.

 

[Arunas]

I'm in

 

[Yves Larose]

thanks Dennis it was my pleasure to set everything up and its not finished a video is in the making

and for all the V8 Supercars lovers stay tune in a few months the IronMan will probably return

 

[Duco Jansen]

Having a hissy fit on chat and trying to restart the server was pathetic as was this post.

Watch the replay and it's not nearly as bad as you make out, could even be said that you cut across in front of him. Either way mistakes/accidents happen and this is not the correct manor to deal with them.

You clearly have pace so even if you kept going you could have caught up with the pack and still had a good race, no need to rage quit just because of 1 incident.

Well, when I got t-boned I couldnt keep my car straight and got hit by lots of cars going full speed. My front tyre had fallen off and damage was unrepareable, I had to retire, this was not my choice. Now, I assumed all those cars that hit me and the mess I saw from my point of view, that I probably wasn't the only one who's car was unrepareable damaged, that's why I voted for a restart.
Clearly I was dissapointed, having signed up like 2 weeks before the event and having practiced a few times, so I was really looking forward to it.

What's even worse than making a mistake is someone who doesn't admit his mistake. The guy clearly hit me quite hard from behind, long after I had turned in. I did not turn in on him. He was never alongside at any point. Shifting blame is pathetic.

I'm just here to have a good time, to race seriously and I don't expect to be taken out after turn 1 when the race is like 65 minutes. Please join public lobbies then, or maybe I should join a different league.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

Did you look at a replay? Seriously, you were cutting the corner, off the track, out of the bounds of the track surface, beyond the white line with all four wheels, before you were hit by someone else in the same situation. T-boned, get real.

Yep, that is what my replay shows too.

Very strange. My replay clearly shows you recovering from the initial crash, driving on up the road for a while (with no obvious tyre / wheel damage), then slowly driving into the wall at the next turn (possibly while typing the chat???).

It all looked like one of those unfortunate racing incidents that happen from time to time. Best to just accept the bad luck, learn from it, and move on.

EDIT: I might add that cutting that line in turn 1 did seem popular with many drivers.

 

[Erik Bennett]

Don't sign me up yet but I think I can make this, its hard to make the races being an American but I REALLY hope I can get off work for this one, love this track.

 

[Guus]

sign me up please

Just done some laps and what a lovely combo btw for setups you can take a look at the PrestoGP forums, they have setup threads. No setup for spa but a setup for another track will work just fine with some alterations I would think.
