Hey Luke mate, i am so sorry, i just dont know how you will get around it.
Noone could see you, and after the 3rd new room you were in, then lag, then dc.
Its so great that you have all the enthusiasm for our series, and would be great if we could somehow get your connection working better.
If you can sort it out anytime Luke, just post your back in the game.

I want too say ty too all the players at todays race , it was quiet fun for me untill the rain reached 100 %. Apparently thats the max I can manage in the rain , not long after it reaches the 100 & Iam in a world off trouble sadly.

So in the future I will only drive in the dry races iff thats ok , I have chosen too say this because when I look at the settings for all the wet races Iam pretty sure it will begin too rain at a point.

Ps. Please dont come with all kinds off ideas on what I could do , beleive me when I say ,that I have tried it all :)
 
Well, Mr Racingline,
yes i agree it is very very difficult, however in my opinion it makes it very exciting.
After i have a few stable wet laps i try to push a little too hard and then i spin off, even with my car very safe in the wet
sadly i always try my luck a little too much.
Oddly enough last night i only had 2 major offs, however the unsettled weather brings so so much more excitement.
Even though i did not think it would rain, i still went with TC on 3 and low Drivetrain settings just in case.


MY RACE
Well, firstly amazing Dr Aug, :gtpflag: and congratulations for what i thought would be very very difficult for you guys in g8 and g7.5.

I had a good start and headed off at the head of G3 , i had UA342 not far behind and knew if it rained he was faster, but i was ok and managed to gradually pull away into a clear gap in 2nd place.
It was a while after that the gap increased a lot, so i was very excited.
Then the leader AP19 who started in G1 went awol and i was promoted to the lead, with a good gap back to second.

It started raining at 20 minutes, and even as the spray started, the wet track indicator was at 0% but the grip seemed ok, although the indicator should have been showing a lot more i thought.
I have not experienced the track indicator not working before, so even as the track became very wet, and was very slippy, it still indicated 0% and i was a little confused.
Then suddenly the indicator sprung to life and raced upwards to 90% then to 100%.
Then at the turn before the pity entry i just went straight on and on and on and ok, the indicator 0% something very odd here.
So into the pits for heavy wets, and annoyingly the wrongs side of the bollard so a drive through and now very very slippery still on RH i crawled around and went inside the bollard into the pit and went to HW.
From then i had dropped a long way back, and i have to say, i have done many many wet laps practice, but this did feel a lot more slippy.

As the race unfolded and people spun and recovered i was going up and down the order, sometimes 3rd then a few laps later 5th and it was all much fun, although seeing Aug getting near to the front early on did make me think winning was not now an option with all my messups.

It seemed most gradually built up a bit of confidence and lapping ok, then a spin would put make them go slow again for a while while they built up confidence again, so there were many times i passed drivers when they were on their slow phase, then i would have a big moment and slow down again, while they where on there confidence phase and they would repass me, this happened many times over the 40 minutes the track was at 100%.

At around 70 minutes i just noticed that Niss was going quite a bit faster than me, and just happened to glance at the wet track indicator and noticed it was falling although still raining.
So i speeded up and several pitted for RH but i thought i would stay out on HW for another lap until it was dry offine,
at 72 minutes it was dry and stopped raining and everyone was in for RH, but 2 minutes after the track dried and the rain stopped it started raining again and i was just about to pit but stayed out on HW, but the rain was light for 7 minutes and the track stayed dry so i came in for RH, just messing p the entry again to take my second drive through, very annoying.

It looked like Aug had a good fight with AU342 and Delta for many laps from what i could see.

Again for me it was just so much fun.
I really felt that i could win this race lol, i had a lead of around 25 seconds after 15 minutes if i recall correctly,
i was not making any mistakes, and all my practice just seemed to be working, just running consistent laps at high23s and low 24s.
I knew most of the guys were faster than me but at RBR there are several turns that can bite and loose you a lot of time.
When the rain came, my downfall was relying on the wet indicator even though my eyes could see the track was mush wetter.
But anyway, all through i had some great little fights, and the last 15 minutes as the track dried
then the rain came back again threw it all into confusion again.
 
Great race at RBR. I found a setup I like and I put in a fair amount of practice without TCS which I think paid off. Dramatic weather changes does make it tough but held it together! I think the torque of the car with a mid turbo means it can kick out quite easily and many a time I was on the grass/facing backwards. I eventually found a little consistency in the wet, low speed/high gear/low throttle, and importantly not spinning out completely too often.

There was no absolutely no beating @DrAug though....BUT he did spin on the last corner in the wet not long after overtaking me, allowing me to overtake back, for position!! ;)

I was of course re overtaken a couple corners later, haha.

Cheers mate, great and deserved win, I have a funny feeling when the rain ramps up in the weather races that not many of us will be able to offer you much in the way of competition :cheers:

I will of course by trying my hardest though :mischievous:
