Do we have a setup for this??

The Fast setup scraps its belly all over the show............but has a perfect brake setup.

Yar I remember we had that last season, it did scrape but it never seemed to affect the car so nobody has really bothered to improve it

Are the rules on SimracerHQ fully up to date?, as I found this thread http://www.simcentral.co.nz/forum/viewt ... ight=rules

about new penalty rules based on Incident points, which dont appear on the Rules page at Simracerhq.

Please clarify

You better buck your ideas up, Murphy, before the main race. That looks extremely close to a deliberate punt...

Right, first rant of the season done with.

Good VRC race, was a lot of fun until a certain moment.
Hoping the Inspire League race produces better results.

See ya there!

Alright, what a way to start the season.....you are leaving out all the juicy details Noon

Not too much to tell, tbh Odie.

He came up behind during Turn1, slightly faster.
I held a steady, predictable inside line to let him slip past on exit to the straight. He decided that instead of just passing like everyone else, he would:
- cut across the back of me on the exit of the turn
- get slightly alongside
- and then cut back into my rear bumper, taking me & Unbound out

Looks extremely close to a deliberate action, but not quite enough to have him ejected immediately for the punt. If not deliberate, it was just plain stupid.
For someone with such a history and with all eyes watching this season, it wasn't the cleverest move...

Nobody,BUT NOBODY, ever tell me again about maintaining the draft. I got taken out twice by smart arsed drivers in red on my F2 screen who showed absolutely no patience at all and attacked the moment they got to my bumper even though, in both cases, I was on the tail of a good-paced draft. And in both cases they crashed me and ruined my race.
Seven seasons and some still haven't learnt

Well young chequers, part of it might be you not holding your line. You moved down on top of me instead of staying in your lane.

Wraith · Post by **Wraith** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 11:14 pm

banger race, started off so gd, 5 crashes and still 15th so cant complain, let the abuse begin!

go sacks!

BAZZIL · Post by **BAZZIL** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 11:14 pm

I got right ripped, might I say:

If you find you spin into the pits you have to brake much earlier and it might help to stabilise your car with a little throttle on the way in, I got a 30 sec penalty for entering dangerously because of someone spinning infront of me.

Also, if you have a fast train coming up behind you hold ya fecking line because you're gonna cause a ding storm.

other than that a rather entertaining race :P

Apol's to Bazzil (I Think) for unintentional rippage

Slipped under Marty by mistake at turn exit as draft arrived. Brain fade on my part.

I think there must have been heaps of rippage as I ripped myself a couple of times, ran out of fuel once, a black flag, and got caught up in some other peoples and still finished quite high.

Welcome back to Wednesday Night Nascar

Good fun, roll on next week.
