AACL Test Race - Saturday 17th

[pixelboy]

server hardly raised a sweat.. and had about 5 blokes on AACl - 2 at the same time..

I think I could run 4 or 5 servers..

[petey]

That was fantastic fun.

Learnt the hard way not to be on the wrong side of the rumble strip on corner entry, spat me straight out into the sand. But still had heaps of fun chasing norbs and neil, very tricky to find places to pass particularly when the tyres are fine one corner then understeery the next.



EDIT: Apart from being randomly disconnected shortly into practice, then having it not contact the server for the next 5-10 minutes. Server was fine. Issue could have been AC (likely) or network on my side (less likely).

VERY intense, loved every second of it!!!

Did not expect to be so far up the list early with a burning start, nope I gave the faster guys that spun off and coming back through enough room. I think I squeezed past norbs at one stage as Neil came back through

Top 10 woohooo go MPR!!!

[Cursed]

Great fun!
My first online race since LFS.

Not sure who 'cursed' is?
But sorry mate, thought the gap was bigger

Looking forward to more racing!

That's me. No problem. It was only the first of several trips off the track for me.

Those results aren't right, though. I definitely did not get lapped. I was 80 seconds behind the winner.

Good to know. So potentially I could run 1 on the freebie server?

Well, I had fun but we need to work together more on the track it seems. (probably I need to be more patient and learn to behave again, like in iRacing)

I had a bad start, someone rear-ended me well before the 1st corner...
Then I have tried to overtake slow69 when he run somewhat wide but he came back hard and we had an off, and there was another somewhat botched overtake of mine where I could not cleanly get away later, it was with Steve Green I think, apologies for these, gents, I thought I had better grip on things there...

Then I had an off by myself, simply getting spun off by a curb...annoying

[DarrenM]

I kept getting a little spike every now and then on my FPS thing. Was fine unless it happened at a corner.

I had a 1/4 second pause in the middle of the fast esse and nearly lost it

Completely my fault... I was too busy looking left and missed the entry to the chicane....

I have to say, for the first race back in a big field, the mid packers like me seemed to give each other room.

I got a roaring start and knew I would have guys passing me a few times. There was only 1 iffy move on me, and that could have been because I left the door open into T2.

I have to learn to breath. I had Petey up my date for 2 laps and I think I was holding my breath the whole time.

[dvestate]

I wondered what happen to you ysu, almost like you missed a gear or something. Thanks for leaving a car width on the outside for me to use

I was so nervous the first few corners and was waiting for someone behind to mess up T1 and give me a touch up as I went right around the outside.... Need to work on my setup, the tyres were very squirrely from lap 7 to the end when you wanted to pour on the power.

I agree I didn't get lapped either so something weird there

[dvestate]

Not sure if that move was me Norbs, I can't remember if it was T2 or T3 but I think we had a rub. I was going around you before I knew it

Have to agree was very clean racing where I was only a couple of rubs with guys which made it even more fun with door to door action!

good to know, thanks, I feel a bit better

[NeilPearson]

Well had fun.

had a great start, couldnt get around the outside of darren, though i sure tried. followed him for the first two laps i think then gizmo got under neath me into the final corner, and i stupidly punted him into t1. just didnt break that little bit earlier like i should have. So sorry mate.

Then i came in behind Mik and Norbs, i got Mik straight away and then chased norbs who held his line perfectly, then had a run on the outside of T3 and just caught the grass, spat me into the wall, regathered and found myself in 8th. Passed Mik again and got into a nice rythyme trying to chase Norbs and petey, Norbs ran wide in the final corner alowing petey and myself though, and I got passed petey when he made an error. he was on my tail for the rest of the race, managed to pass me at one stage but I got him back when he made another error and held it JUST for the remaining lap.

those mediums sure go off quick

had a blast! sorry Gizmo, all me man

[dvestate]

Anyway to save replays of the online races? Would love to watch it back

Neil I knew you were way quicker so was happier to have you in front rather than trying to hard and taking us both out

One of those little spikes got me.

I turned the air blue, I can tell you.

[Righteous]

Apologies for not making it tonight guys. Had surprise dinner guests. Good to see the server held up. Looking forward to the real deal on Wed.

Haha I was certainly applying the pressure. It did seem odd when you ran wide, I thought you would pull it up for sure.

I was wondering if you were on mediums Neil. I took darrens advice in the end and ran hards which were still getting a bit slippy towards the finish.

It appears that slipstreaming does nothing as a by note.

No no, don't get me wrong; I should have expected you coming back. I did not mean to blame you.

There's only one person I blame; the rear-ender

[slow069]

Lol

Maybe my arse looked to good for you

Thanks for the read blokes, was great to see some of that old LFS banter post race again, maybe it is time I drag the wheel out of mothballs.

Come on shonky
Get you wheel out
Put you walking frame in the boot of the BMW
And have a drive

If you do it today you can class it as your Sunday drive

Missed the test run, doing some work at the time, might Fired it up and did a few laps for the first time playing took a while to sort out the 'apps' until I knocked my mouse to the side and hello there..

Did a prac 15-20 laps few 2:08s at the end on hards before the arm got sore, she under steers a bit. Was fun all max settings sitting over 60fps.
