[Rhys Gardiner]

Very nice indeed.

Qualifying: Arrgh, I can't remember. :tongue: I think it was somewhere in the vicinity of 10th?

Race 1: Started well, had a good fight with William near the end, and got the surprise of my Simracing life when I saw two cars flying into the air. :bulgy-eyes: Finished 11th.

Race 2: I realised from Race 1 that the Audi was extremely tail-happy. That combined with my tiredness from the first race saw me below my usual performance. Sorry for the hit on lap 1, William. Finished the race in ... Grrr, I need some Rosemary around my ears!

Very enjoyable races. I'm liking these STCC events. :thumb: Thanks William and RD.

 

[Adam Vaughan]

All cars for GTR evo now added... CCX here we come

You hardcore son of a gun, wont catch me in that thing, thats not a car, thats a beast of an animal.

 

[William Yunck]

Well, I have a great setup for the pug at Knutstorp, but I can't figure one out anywhere else. That and I seem to have switched pit crews with Warren, 12.6 seconds in race 2 for 2 tires? I was in the pit for like 6 seconds before anything happened, pooo.
Well I still had some fun fights, a few laps with Keith and a few with Rhys, good stuff.
See you all next week.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Yet again, the STCC Events deliver incredible racing, where everyone seems to have a chance. Good to see the numbers growing too, these are becoming popular. :highfive:

I wasn't confident coming into this one, Zandvoort often catches me out, and I don't usually like the Seat. But I had Jarrod's RPM paintjob, and that usually brings me luck, and it did again. :handshake:
Practice was looking ominous, as I kept spinning off track in the damned hairpin. It took me ages to get a setup I was comfy with.

Qualified P5, didn't stuff up the superpole this time.

Race 1. Good start for once, and picked off Adam exiting turn 1. Was in P3 when I decided to go for my pitstop, with my crew finetuned by William's pitcrew. However, Marcel had picked the same lap to pit, and seemed to be in my pitbay, so I waited for him to leave. Then found out my pitbay was the spot in front of Marcel. Oops, that cost me precious time. Came out right behind Peter, and had some exciting duels with him, side by side, and eventually sneaked past. Got a nasty fright to hear the fuel warning with about 4 laps to go (how do you conserve fuel in these hectic dashes). Had a big scap with Marty over the last 2 laps and finished P4 with about 0.2 L of fuel left.

Race 2. Started P5 again. Yet another good start, and at one stage, Raphael, Marty, and I were 3 wide around the right hander, amazing stuff. :laugh2: . I settled into P3 for much of the race until Marty put his chevy into the tyre wall, giving me P2, but with a very quick Jari hot on my heels. Managed a very slick pitstop (the training of my pitcrew is paying off, thanks William :handshake: ), and came out right on Adam's bumper. This set up a terrific fight for P1, but Adam drove faultlessly to take the win.

Grats to Marcel and Adam for the wins.
Thanks to William for organising the event, and great to see so many people joining these now. :highfive:

 

[Keith Barrick]

I think I'm going to go with the '07 Peugeot! I didn't know it existed until yesterday. So far that's my weapon of choice. I might end up going with the '87 M3, but I need to see how she handles in the monsoon weather we have on that track.

Are you referring to the STCC pug?

 

[Jari Vinnari]

Big mistake in race 2 where I managed to hit pit barrier when entering the pits. Lost the splitter and punctured a tire. :rotfl:
Perhaps I should have practiced for this event or at least make sure how to pit safely and correctly.
Thanks for organizing this event.

peace
Jari

 

[Cam Wedgwood]

Good to see the numbers swelling!

Can anyone give me some pitting tips? I can't work out where the speed limit starts when entering...

 

[Michael Mcalister]

singapore race

hey guys im trying to get into practice it tells me after entering the password that game version is incapitable whats up. thanks michael

 

[Keith Barrick]

Great track indeed. Mysetups are crap, but I got within one second of the best I've seen (Keith you ol' Extra Terrestrial! ) So I done something right.

Will make for an interesting race.

Is that on the old version or new version? cause there is about 8-10 sec different in lap times.

 

[Eric. K]

hey guys im trying to get into practice it tells me after entering the password that game version is incapitable whats up. thanks michael

You do have GTRE? Also do you see the right track name in the lobby? (it should say Singapore GP). If it doesnt it means you haven't installed the track properly.

 

[Michael Mcalister]

singapore

i have evo and yes i see the track when i enter the password(test) incapitable game version comes up

 

[Warren Dawes]

Can anyone give me some pitting tips? I can't work out where the speed limit starts when entering...

Cam, I haven't practiced pitting for this track yet, but if you turn on autopit, and drive into the pitlane. it should automatically engage the pit limiter for you. That should show where it is, and then you could choose to turn off autopit if you want.

 

[Warren Dawes]

I will try a preview RPM skin for the Viper here:

Hope it proves to be another lucky Jarrod Crossley skin. :laugh2:

Not sure Michael. Everyone else was able to get in. Have you updated your game through Steam?
