Far better than expected, the Acty at Monaco!

Unfortunally I have to take a longer break for health reasons.
At the moment I can only use a controller to drive, which means to learn from zero. Nevertheless you will still see me on the practice servers last position from time to time. And I hope you will still allow me to take part in the racing discussions here.

Hi Dirk,

Take care, man. And get healthy as soon as you can.
And please keep active in our discussions! We like that!

I gave this combo a try yesterday and had more fun than expected. When getting used to the car, it's pretty much fun to take its behavior into account.

There's a slight chance I can sign up for this one...

 

[Partick Eaton]

I reinstalled the track and truck manually and it works now. Thanks for your help all.

With the current fuel usage we will need a pit stop as it will only do 6 laps on a full tank.

 

[Reik Major]

btw crazy lap time Jason! Did you find a short cut?

 

[Twoddle]

I can't share all of my secrets.

 

[HF2000]

I can't share all of my secrets.

Wouldn't be much of a secret then!

 

[Reik Major]

I can't share all of my secrets.

I'll keep watching you...

 

[Reik Major]

Ok, just signed up for this funny one.

Do I get it right, the event takes place an hour earlier than most of the other events here?

Uh, no. I'll check it. It should be 20.00 CET.

 

[Reik Major]

So for me in Germany qualy should start at 21:00 (= 9 PM), right?

Sorry for being a pain...

 

[JamKart22]

The OP mentions BST and CEST - a bit confusing when it's not summer

I did the same copy and paste error on my races!

Can someone DM me the server pass?

It's the same as the Wednesday races.

 

[HF2000]

Guys,

As you night have read, the provider of the RD servers had issues last night. It kinda ruined our second race. I'm sorry for that.

But it was fun until the moment the server went completely down. So I think we will see the Acty sometime again in 2024 on a free Thursday.

It was fun while it lasted Han, the wobly-wobly thing took a few laps to get used to, though . But after watching ‘The Bagley Beast’ or ‘Jolly Jason’ (*please select the one that suits most) flying in that thing and me being able to use his setup, I could finally break under the 40’s. So, thank you Jason!

One really has to enter a corner way before it there to make it to the apex. Like I said, took some time to get used to. And shifting up at just the right moment. Uphill felt sluggish when entering fourth gear, but there seemed to be some torque available to crawl up the hill.

And… you can flip this one on it’s side! I thought it was a kerb but it was more like the bounce back from a barrier at the wrong place wrong time.

Second race, chasing Partick at some point with Jason in the back of my truck, I was fast through the chicane behind the pitt and just too late to avoid hitting Partick, causing mayhem there, (sorry all!) so Han could take the lead

Shame the server went nuts halfway, but, just like Steve, I kept driving on my own, hehe… never give up!

Thanks guys, happy new year!

 

[Partick Eaton]

That was a ton of fun while it lasted. Great little truck. I used to own a Subaru Domingo, pretty much the same type of vehicle but a van. I never drove it like that!

Thanks for organizing Han, happy new year to all.
