I know what you mean about the brake travel, I have been trying it in the FGT. It works but doing it under pressure is like changeing the habit of a lifetime as I like you assumed you could just slam on with ABS set to one :(

Yeah I'm using abs at the moment but want to move to no abs but gotta get use to it as the g25 brake pedal isn't the best, just doesn't offer enough resistance.

Good luck to those who get in my braking line tonight because my car ain't up for stopping lol
 
Brake earlier? :lol:

I came fourth on the first race?

I hope we are going to introduce a race ballast or no setups.... Or both? Kinda takes the piss with one person obviously at an advantage over the rest.

Gutted I got disconnected, I was 2nd :(
 
Gutted for you Ray :(
You raced a good one tonight.
Can Pagey confirm where Ray finished please?

Well done chaps, I enjoyed tonight 👍
Will update the OP later.

sakery- You should have mentioned you were racing, I could have held on for a few minutes on the first race!
 
I don't know where he was, i couldn't see him on track

Race report:
Got taken out on the first lap by one of my team mates :( 3rd race in a row i have been punted off.
I got out of the gravel and was in last place, i fought hard and was battling with spurgy and joe, but they tangled up and i was in 4th and couldn't catch Brett who was ahead. 4th wasn't too bad considering the first lap incident.

Second race started well, i got into 3rd and was battling with sakery, but us fighting considerably slowed us down. And i just couldnt get past. Our slower pace let immortal catch up and pass. And i eventually got through and stayed in 3rd.

Well done Wordup and Brett on your wins :D
 
Was DEFINATELY fourth in the first race as I was behind Brett saying I could see him about one mile down the road and word up/immortal were racing ahead of him. Brett also said about me potentially jumping at the pit stop but didn't work.

First race was good, enjoyed a stint with Dave but the rest I was on my own.

2nd race I was first until immortal overtook in a much better setup car, you could tell as we were on identical tyres but he could corner much quicker.

Then I got disconnected.... Twice lol
 
We couldn't see each other on track, i was behind brett too. Spurgy could see both of us though so i guess the results he posted are correct
 
If you couldnt see each other that is where the confusion came in, on my board (and spurgeys) Pagey finished ahead of Ray so thats what we will go with.
Good racing tonight chaps 👍

Brett I did mention two pages (or one) ago that I could race ;)
But Monza with Rain in the Benz is anyway too crazy (but I would have won anyway => let the others get some victories xDDDDD) but I would liked it to race.
Missed 1 or 2 laps -_-
Race was superb to watch.
Pagey, Spurgy and Joe gave them a fair beating awesome 👍 Unfortunately Spurgy touched the grass at Parabolica and went on to build a Taj Mahal with Sand.

Watching wordup throwing away his victory was kinda sad but me think Immortal would have catched him anyway.

Race 2:
Well start as always good for a Benz but AWD flys by like a F1 against an 2CV :D
Had nice fights all the Race thx Pagey, Spurgy, wordup and Immortal (last one was veeery short pleasure)
Had some incidents for stewarding opinion but if wordup and spurgy say it was ok we could call it racing incidents (??).
1:23.9xx as fastest was ok but the 1:21 of Immortal*bow-down-to-the-king*pilot was out of anyones league :D

Very nice racing afterwards too :D
 
I suppose it was just a racing incident, I mentioned it in my complaints but explained that you probably didnt expect me to go round the outside and by the time you noticed it was too late. Was annoying but then again so was pretty much both my races :lol: Not going to bother doing a proper race report but this will do.
Basically Monza and a few good battles, but gradually got bullied backwards and held up by "interesting" overtakes at times. Also lost out at the lag spike at the beginning, made a couple of mistakes and got pushed off twice, although one was very slight and was just enough to send me flying at parabolica :(
Madrid went better, lost out at the start as usual, and then into the first corner where everyone seemed to find it ok to pile up the inside, luckily no one hit me. Then a few corners later got hit into the wall and lost 3-4 places :( Spent most of the race again being bullied back and held up by people being a bit too impatient round a track that is very hard to overtake on, my RWD didnt help either because I just got mugged out of the corners and couldnt get a decent run on the AWD people. But somehow finished 5th which under the circumstances I was happy with, but I know I should be higher up.
Never mind, hopefully next race will be better.
 
Sorry Sakery, maybe a message on PSN would help, I am forgetful as you know :(

Ill do the results later as I have been busy today.
 
Yes good Racing guys.
Was cool to drive from the bac in the front in Madrid.
Madrid is almost my favorite track.
How much is the Mercedes slower then the Alfa??
 
I would say 0.5-1 seconds in quali depending on the track and not quite so much in the race. But its also harder to overtake in the Merc because you dont get as good a run out of the corner, especially slow one, with it being RWD, its quite twitchy even with a good setup, but thats just me.

immortal, do you use manual gears and if so do you use clutch and 6 speed or flappy paddle?

also, it seemed like you could corner far better than i could on madrid... did you produce your own setup?

it would be interesting to see how your setup compares to mine as whilst I was understeering, you managed to keep cornering.
 
Monza was a brilliant race for me. Both for the fact that the first half of the race I had a great battle with Ray, and the second fact that I didnt come last!

My only bother was in the pits, I got caught up some how, and the few second gap that was behind me during the first half completly vanished, and I ended up leaving the pits at the same time as Pagey and Joe :( So I went from a possible 4th or 5th spot to 7th :(

Madrid was a disaster, and I am blaming Mike! :P

Blooming Welshman fell in love with the barrier on the outside of the track, and in doing so, switched on the invisible magnet that attracted my car and no body elses, sucking me into the same place! :P From there on in, I went from 4th to last, and had no hope of catching up.

Hopefully next week will be better, as we are at Circuit De La Sarthe and Suzuka (please give us some weather at both courses!!!!)
 
Sarth will be very interesting, with the draft we shoul all bunch up (or possible 2/3 groups) it may turn out to be the best race of the series 👍
I hate Suzuka!!!!!

Leaderboard is updated great to see some drivers making their way upwards :D

Penalties are not yet settled so you may drop down if you were naughty in any of the races :lol:

He had to fight hard at Madrid though......still won by 15 seconds but that's not the point :lol:
 
If he hadnt have got past me in the pits then I could have held him for a lot longer, I was relying on you lot in the midfield to go defensive :grumpy:
