AC Try out multiclass vintage cars #3 Deutschlandring, Tuesday 16th November 2021

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

Once again I'm asking for your help in this try out event for a new Vintage Car championship.
To see if the 4 cars involved are a good match for each other in a multiclass championship, we are going to race them on the Deutschlandring. This track has more corners (even a hairpin section) than Bremgarten so we can see if the Mini is a better match here where top speed is less important.

It would be great to have a full grid tonight with for every type at least 4 drivers. But the more the better. 7 Cars of every type would be fantastic!

So sign up here: https://beta.simracing.gp/events/KVMrXcxaH-DG8JVUdwum1#cars

TIP: With my limited driving skills I couldn't handle the Mini. Changing the Dif Power to 20, Dif coast to 45 and dif preload to 35 helped a lot.

A message to all Drivers,

If you run off track, you have to check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.

When entering the track from the pits, stay off the racing line until you are up to speed. Do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by. On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium

I'm giving the TVR a go this time, I feel the need for speed on the straight! now off to try and tame the beast!!

@Shed 17
When you given the Griffith a go, jump in the Ferrari, its sublime, and very fast on the straight,cornering is 40 yards before you come to it,steer it with the throttle and hold on like HELL..

 

[Shed 17]

Hey that's weird I'm not getting alerts for being tagged? IIRC you need to separate tags with a comma, maybe that's why?

Anyway WOO HOO! the TVR is on s.gp.... flippin YES! I'm IN! with the........ TVR.

Remember the TVR from GTL Allan? Them were the days.

We raced the Griffith and GTO at Monza '66 in AC a while back. The TVR may just have had the edge (I beat Enzo in the Ferrari. Can't see that happening again any time soon).

Gonna be a challenge to keep these two on track I reckon. Challenge accepted. Is there a praccy server up?

Thanks. Don't know the TCL mod. Will have a look.

I some how think in this company the little mini is going to at best; put up a valiant show, but inevitably it will disappear backwards down the field.
of cars.

So I have gone for the cheeky mini.

I tried a few others just from that mod and used the Skoda this time.
