This is a little off topic but I thought I'd show some skin concepts I made wayyy before the one I'm currently using:

I shall but looking so closely at the track map to make sure you don't impede someone contributes to this! See my penalty screenshot, nothing within cooee of me, but all my fault all the same. The rule couldn't be any clearer:thumbsup:
Hopefully I wake up next round.:sleep:

Ever thought of getting into livery design? Like I'm sure motorsport teams would take notice of these. Seriously good mate. Makes the real life F3 grid look positively bland.
 
Just wait, Spa's going to be a bloodbath of cuts.
I swear if it is I'm just going to straight up DSQ people. Only kidding, lol, but seriously, 56 cuts at Copse alone is absurd. Heck I accounted for 1 of those cuts at copse, and I took a 5 second time penalty, but man oh man.

Oh well, the Penalty system is there, we all know and agree to abide by it so at least people know what to expect if they do decide to just flatly ignore track limits.

Eau Rouge, Turn 9, Pouhon, Stavelot, Paul Frere, Blanchimont. All may be a problem.

2KF1 Racing after RDGPC Round 1 at Silverstone

Tobi Kederer (#3): Q4, R6

I nailed my lap in quali, giving me 4th on the grid which was better than I expected. The start was good, I managed to keep my position. But it all went wrong went I lost the rear in Becketts 2. Luckily I kept it out of the wall, and could manage to continue in 11th. From that point on it was damage limitation, trying to gain as many places as possible. Got to 9th rather quick, and was in 8th soon after as Ed let me past. Lost some time behind Micheal Stead before I could pass him. Closed the gap to fighting duo Matheus and Jamie in front of me, at the same time keeping an eye on the gap to Chris behind me. Got to 6th after passing Jamie, but couldn't hold it as Chris behind me was a good bit faster. 7th in the end is ok, still a bit disappointed though as it could've been 4th or 5th without that mistake.


Edward Rockett (#259): Q7, R10

Qualifying went well. I set my fastest laptime in the 1:58.1s and ended up 7th.

Lap 1 was not too bad. I had a decent start, didn't lose and positions and ran close to the two cars ahead of me. There was space on the inside that I was kinda forced into, and it almost ended in tears, but I just got it stopped. After a few people spun out, I was in 5th for the next few laps. Becketts was too slidy for the first few laps, which ended with a wild moment in which I then lost 2 places down the next straight. Enter lap 4, and we find that side-by-side through Abbey doesn't work if the person on the inside doesn't accept that the car ahead on the outside has the right to stay there. A whack left me with a damaged front wing.

Crippling understeer meant all the fast corners were now lifts. I slowly lost positions as the loss of grip meant I was slower. Dropped down to 11th in the end. Spent the last 10 laps in a cracking battle with Jeremy Talbot, the driver I have been the exact same pace as for ages, and I just kept the position at the end.


Aidan Keranen (#4): Q25, R16

I was disappointed from qualifying, I felt I had more to offer than the rear row, but I am never worried about starting from the back, it means you can see the mid pack pile ups and miss them.

Which is exactly what happened. I missed all of the danger on lap 1, was just outside of a points scoring position and playing safe. I wasn’t defending hard, I was making sure that no harm would come on lap 1. But for all of those well laid plans, I still got hit from behind. The rear wing was gone, I realised this a long time after the collision, but after nearly reversing into two walls on high speed corners I knew repairs were needed. The stewards handed down a penalty but it still ruined my race, I had good speed late on and kept my car on the track, points were possible today, we’ll see what happens at Zandvoort as it is clear we have two great drivers leading us, so I better pull my weight!

Well I was sitting there waiting for the lights to come up, so I had a quick slurp of my cuppa
and low and behold everybody took off, (nearly spat it all over the screen:roflmao:) Thought to myself WTF and then got drilled in the rear,
I feel sorry for @petsku67 as he hit me real hard, had lots of damage had to pit for repairs,
but instead of Quitting put my head down and tried to put in some good laps, You never
know what might happen up the track, might get a point you never know unless you give it ago
so I did but OH well it didn't work out but at least I gave it a crack.

So I'm sorry to those that got mixed up in the start line Farck up, my apologies to you all.
Congrats to the front runners well done. :thumbsup:
So it's onto the next one.
Yes no hard feelings, i try to be more gentle next time we meet :p
