Great race everyone ! No pace from my side, really tiring but some good moves.
Sorry to the guy I've made contact with at the end of race, bad awareness from my side after all these laps :/

Cheers !

Giando Fraschini · Apr 9, 2023

Great race, overall. I just got wrong the fuel quantity, again!, and stopped right in the middle of last lap when i was fighting for 2nd +3rd position. Fulvio Fenix as always on another planet. Amazing.

Edited for rule 8 violation. sorry

Sorry for lap 1 spin in the lead I lost my force feedback again. Had to exit and rejoin and it worked fine agian, that's strange. Don't have replay so apologies to whoever couldn't avoid hitting me or had a disadvantage. It's a shame to have pole and lose it all that way. Could have been a close great race.
Thx all for racing, cu next time.

yep, someone hit me in the back with lights still red!

Kek700 · Apr 9, 2023

Strange race, qualified no where, got knocked off on the first lap, then had to do a drive through. ( jump start ) ( I will just look at the red lights in the future and not the car in front )
Managed a reasonable final place. Not a clue how that all happened.
But I am not complaining.

Really crazy race for such a simple track

Sorry to everyone I bumoed at the start, I don't know where my head was. As karma must be a thing I got knocked out while doing my greatest switch back ever and got stuck in the barrier

. Teleportes to pits, landed in 21st, made it to 16th where I had a nice little battle with Gary which also ended in a crash, but that time all nice and fair, we waited for each other and drove into the sunset.
I'm just glad someone disconnected at the last lap, because I'd come in 17th if it didn't happen.
17th would be bad as I asked my wife
"How do you think, out of 23 guys in what place I'll finish?"
"17th she said without even turning to me from tv"
Damn that psychic woman

The first 4 or 5 minutes were just pure survival, but overall fun race! Several good battles with Matthieu, Casper and Robert.

Other than the chaos on the first few laps, my only real issue were the divebombs into the T1 chicane - which had me taking some agricultural detours to avoid collisions.

Wow, what a blast. Great race, big thanks to Brian and RD for organizing. Nice job to all the new guys. Hope you all had fun!

Sorry to Ken Scott for the bump, it wasn't intentional. I was trying to get around you but it seemed you were blocking me.

See you on the next one!

KFMaster · Apr 9, 2023

First, thanks Brian for organize the race!

I was one of guilty ones for jumping the start, but stopped fast enough to not hit the guy in front. This triggered the person behind me to also jump the start and then hit me pushing me to hit the guy in font. At that precise moment the light turn green and the guy in front got a nice assisted start I think

About 200 meters into the race, this Porsche guy on my right tried to over take guy in front of him (while everyone else was left because of a crash ahead) jinked to the left and knocked me right into the guard rail

Then it took forever to get going -- need to practice getting int reverse and restart by first get into neutral and rev up the engine

Doing the stop and go penalty was uneventful thankfully, was not sure if I was going to do it right as this was my first time for that.

The disaster struck at the next lap. Spun out pointed down hill against the barrier. No amount of rev up and kick into reverse can get the car out. Had to teleport back to pits with something like 20 second penalty in the garage.

Still a good learning experience...

Hi Stefano, sorry you couldn't join. The server log says you were failing checksum on the track files (surfaces.ini)

Also, I'm not used to do this... but i have to officially complain about mr x i'm not entirely sure because you were lagging a bit but i don't really think you're racing very fair once you have someone faster behind you. It's not the first time since you also ruined Voss race last week. Mate, you should give a little bit more space i think. Be mindful of others on track. We all could have more fun. Because of you i also unvoluntairly ruined some Ginetta's race (sorry). See you

Hi GIando,

See rule 8 here for how to handle incidents with other drivers.

https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/racedepartment-racing-club-league-rules.10977/#post-530016

8. Try and discuss any incidents with the other drivers involved after the race in a friendly manner. If you feel stressed out by an accident then take 24 hours to calm down, review the replays of the incident and resolve it in a mature way via PM. Do not make angry posts about it on the forum. If you cannot resolve the problem then please contact the staff member whom organised your race via PM, sending them an incident report that follows the procedure outlined here.

I usually have the replay saved so you just need to let me know the lap and corner/sector, who was involved etc.

Giando Fraschini · Apr 9, 2023

I do apologize. I haven’t read that rule carefully.

Btw i was trying to be polite.

I’m gonna PM you and the other driver.
If it may help, i could erase the ‘complain’ from my post, please let me know.

Thanks
