I just think that, without BoP, the Alfas are too fast for the others. I forgot about the the format change Hans. It would mean that I need to practice. Does anybody else have any input on this? I know that for some people 2 races is better, but ATM we don't have that option - ask on the forum please.

To make myself clear. I don't want to reduce practice time. I can go along with Bram's vision on that. But I find qually too long, even becoming tedious and annoying in failing to improve my time in the last 10 minutes. I'd rather see those minutes added to the race for more battles and fun.

The idea of a 40 minute race is interesting as it may bring tire choice and pit stops into the mix.
I don't mind the shorter qualifying time.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Merc is a bit easier.

Hey Denis, it looks like the practice server needs a reset.

Thanks

 

[Monkified]

is that why i carnt select 1st gear, thought id broke down before i started

 

[Partick Eaton]

My new G29 wheel arrived 2 days ago. Finally got it working well today. All i can say is WOW after so many years and never used FFB. Sure adds a lot of fun to the experience.

I'll give it a try, looks like a good combo. For me 30mins of qualifying seems a bit too long. My favorite would be 15mins. Just my two cents. This time I'll take it as extra practice time.

And yes, too bad the 2 races with reversed grid format is not implemented yet, I do like that.

 

[Monkified]

sorry ill have to dip out of tonite i have to chauffuer my daughter about

 

[Denis Betty]

Sorry, I stopped getting updates for this thread. Server reset is becoming a PITA.

 

[GEO147]

Really enjoyed the combo. Cheers Denis.

Really enjoyed the combo. Cheers Denis.

Yep, was a fun race. WD buddy.

 

[Partick Eaton]

Good race guys. I started better than ever with the new wheel. Not used to the effort needed for FFB! I started to fade about half way through.

Thanks for hosting Denis.

 

[HF2000]

A very nice combo! Thanks Denis. I had a good start gaining one position to 4th and managed to keep up until I overshot my breakpoint for the corkscrew. For that I received a penalty for reducing to 35km that I didn't noticed (I'm relying to much on CrewChief). I got disqualified by not executing the penalty. The only option is then to leave the event and return. I re-entered 2 laps behind Sam Cobb (4th) and could stay there for the rest of the race. Finished 11th.
