RD MINI Challenge 2012

[Mark Gormley]

@Mark Gormley
I just want to apologize once more for the incident from race one.
I didn't want to hit you, I even didn't want to pass anybody in this turn. After changing the raceline to have a better look for my brakepoint, I just was focused on it. Unfortunately I saw your brakelights to late and after hitting the brake I went on the gras trying to avoid an incident. After this moment I just was a spectator of what happend next, and it didn't went well.
I'm realy sorry.

Have this sprayed yellow and sent to me and we'll call it even :

Only joking mate I didn't really think much about it at the time as I'd thought you and Dave had just hooked up under braking; it was obvious you were out of control. I think you'd probably have gotten it stopped in time if you'd kept straight and rattled it down the gears a bit rougher, but no worries, and thanks for the apology

It would be handy to know what track I am setting my fuel to in the next round. I will have some spare time this week and would like to do some testing as next week I am going to be busy with work. Would hate to turn up to the race unprepared.

Just noticed @bramhengeveld unfollowed, thats a shame. After 31 years as teammates, I thought we respected one another but clearly he doesn't.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Never followed @lucasdegen...makes a story though!!

Testing is not allowed this week . Not until I have a new SSD since the "old" one died 2 day's ago . Getting a new one within 24 hours, reinstall W7 . So testing is not allowed until I have a new setting up and running.

I dont think the 20 meter difference between layouts will affect fuel to much. Myself i prefer the short layout with the chicane, but i know some people dont. This is why i set up club events for both layouts. This way i can get some feedback of how many prefer which layout.

 

[Von Butters]

Feedback? Short!

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

Fuel wise, there shouldn't be a noticeable difference, I think.

In Vanport there was, because the chicane cuts the long straight in half and slows the time per lap quite a bit, so you do a few less laps without consuming more per lap.

But here, that part is quite slow in both layouts, so fuel should be close. If it's really going to be a problem to you, I'd expect 25 mins+1 lap of the short layout to use more fuel than the long layout.

Anyway, I'll probably end up using 26L like in most other races (Vanport was the exception, and I think I had plenty left anyway).

 

[Nik Hughes]

Done some laps of the long track, I think I prefer it. Both have the potential to get it horribly wrong, but the long track presents a better overtaking opportunity.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

We have received a few incident reports. Some have been looked at already, others will be taken care off on Monday so please if you have something to report do it before this day.

i don't think the skinpack will be updated m8, to much hassle for everyone to download once again, im sure dave or bram will clarify this tho

 

[Dave Begley]

No updates no no no.

To much risk of someone not getting the update and causing mismatches.

This thread is too quiet, so here's a few pictures from Vanport. Been procrastinating tinkering with my skin to get my Mini fix, since I can't practice until I get home on Friday.
