A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.

Golden Rule

If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
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

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 member.

Setup here by @Enzo Fazzi I used it at Bathurst last time without adjusting much. It's pretty nice. I see @Medilloni has one in there too.

The real Porsche cup cars are in Miami this weekend. This was yesterdays full race replay (video quality wasn't up to usual standards)

Unfortunately watching them drive it for real didn't help me learn where the apex is for a few of those turns

eN1xes · May 7, 2023

gr alot of fun also Ernie watch this before last lap and last lap

Kek700 · May 7, 2023

Really enjoyed this race, Fulvio kept going into the pits, then chasing me. He would overtake, then he disappeared, only to be spotted going into the pits.

So I tried my best to stop him, but 2 seconds in one lap advantage, it was not exactly going to be difficult to asses the outcome.

But as I had no reason to worry about losing a place, or anyone else catching, I was allowed to enjoy myself, with out having to think about all the factors that are apparent in a race.
Most enjoyable

PS thank heavens to TC.

robthesquare · May 7, 2023

Fantastic race! Really fun cars. And surprisingly, the track was pretty good.

The 20 minute battle with Patrick was really entertaining. The best I've had in a while. I appreciate your clean racing.

Fulvio's strategy was really entertaining as well. Congrats on the impressive race.

Partick Eaton · May 8, 2023

Rob, that was some of best racing I have been involved for a long time.
Thanks for the clean driving.
I pitted to try and see if I could take advantage, but it didnt work out.
I had couple of sloppy laps and a spin and lost 4th place to Robert.

Great race all.

Alfred Wayne · May 8, 2023

Glad I passed my "memory scan" 9min into the race

Unfortunately it halved my fps and made things choppy, hard to race. Tried to alt tab and close it, but I ended up in the wall after a few failed tries. Then tried to pit, but went in 2 seconds early and it didn't count for my stop

In the end I got some places back, but didn't have too much wheel to wheel racing. Shame, these were fun to drive

A nice mix between the Ginetta and full GT3. Gave them a try offline without the TC and they still seem fun. If we run them again (got my vote

), maybe we could get one of these skin packs going with it. Not that it doesn't come with a few, but they're not too fancy

Great racing all, think we did a fine job stewarding ourselves

See you all next race

dbx71 · May 8, 2023

Nice race guys. Small grid, but good racing all the same. I got to have some fun battling with Dai at the back. Honestly, never really warmed up to this track. I found that series of turns at the back to be excruciatingly painful to navigate, I don't know what kind of a sadistic individual would dream up such a thing. However, the 911s were a real treat to drive.

See you next time.

ill guess its a new way to get p1

davejevons · May 8, 2023

Yeah, thanks for that. Agree with the comments on the car. it was very enjoyable. I suspect Brian’s decision to bestow TC upon us reduced the spin count for those of us at the back. The track was fine but I wouldn’t rush back to race it again.

I felt confident at the start and was keeping up with the pack but slowly fell back into a no-man’s land. Apologies to @robthesquare for the t1 dive a few laps in. It was unintentional and you wisely made the cut back to come straight back past.

Rob and Patrick’s battle looked fun from behind but I wasn’t close enough to join in. I saw @Alfred Wayne have his spin and went long on strategy to try and come out ahead but I was fundamentally slower. By the end I was in no-man’s land between Patrick and @dbx71.

Kek700 · May 8, 2023

I take the pragmatic view, running with no TC is quicker, "yes", would I stay on the circuit without TC, "no".
