2nd Race not too good for me, I dced in my own lobby
Bad night all round for RD Racing then :(

I didn't have the heart for it tonight, the first time I've felt that in 3 seasons of V8's

Race 1 might have gone ok had it not been for 35's frankly daft move at the beginning of lap 2 :eek:

Better luck next week :D
 
Not coming back, tire wear situation is too annoying, with my driving style a set of RS were 0% in 5 laps which is taking the piss
 
Can we just scrap the division 2, because at the end of the main race only 3 people finished. Due to everyone leaving.

2ND race for division 2

1st neljack
2nd TeamLotus_Seven
3rd haitch40

Only people that finished.
 
🤬 ridiculous guys, I won by 1.41.727. Division 2 has to go, THREE of us finished.

JB, message me. Not happy.
 
Its pretty fair on us who dont get the 10 points for getting into Div 1, when we could in theory be there......

Ok, ive said what I have to say, would like to speak in PM about it though :(
 
Divison 1 - Strawman Review

Another poor weekend for me. Really annoyed. 6th, bad track and I was pleased with the qualifying. Race, Oh dear. I get a BRILLIANT start up into 4th. Then R130, follow everyone else, and spin. I go down to 6th. Next lap even more careful and what happened. Span again. :grumpy: Then lap 5 , the tight left turn rear just spins around, no contact just goes. Lap 7 under the bridge - the car slides onto the kerb and I spin AGAIN. Really annoying working so hard and Im just feed bad luck, really out of my league when driving the Maserati. 9th finish

Race 2

2ND, again great start but miss my breaking point JUST, and go back to 8th. Make a great come back but going up the hill Tony ignores the fact im on the outside and taps me TWICE causing me to spin, lucky only to lose a few seconds but still 👎
Then I drive like a drifter. My car was all over the place, and I did think I was Senna at Monaco in 1984. Had a lot of trouble keeping JK2 behind but I thought in the rain I was the 2nd fastest, was matching Tony. JB was a bit of the problem, very dry track no grip and understeering Mas....happy JB just lost it giving me just enough to keep 4th.

Slightly happier than Fuji but still annoyed. Had bad luck again and really disappointed with the way it keeps turning out. Only positive from this weekend is : Im sure quick in the rain and the 4th place

But with the worst tracks for this car (I think :scared:) out of the way, Im hoping for a lot better, top5 every race

Results = 9th & 4th

Yeah thats a good point.👍
 
The idea of the extra points is to help get people fighting to get into D1.

I hate the fact people just assume D2 will be boring because its "slower" drivers but sometimes they can produce great racing.

D1 was pretty boring tonight, infact I didnt enjoy it - got more annoyed. I wouldnt judge D2 being bad, it might be slighty better than D1......

But no one appears to want to finish Div 2 finishes :nervous:

Sorry it happens, its annoying but what can you do? 👎

I know, it happened my league - I had two different leagues, and they were based on car pace. People think that if there not in the same league as the host, they think there in the bad league so they dont bother. Its silly but its how the mind thinks.....
 
We will look into the whys and whos for the Div 2 farse people quitting because they cant be bothered or are struggling is frankly a joke. Im told 4 guys did this Esprit feel for you bud nothing you could do. Gedi struggled like hell tonight but carried on in both races D1 all 10 of us finished both !?! To spend hours each week trying to sort 2 division racing out isnt easy believe me remember the 2 division thing was thrust upon us nobody really wanted it least of all me and gedi we knew how much extra work would be involved makes you wonder why bother tbh.👎
 
Had a quick look at start of race 1. Going to hairpin after going under the bridge i out braked myself and hit Jonzster. There was no malice involved and he only lost time no places but i think i need a slap on the wrist because it did not look pretty. :dunce: Sorry Jonzster. :guilty:

Maybe it's to do with being a long race and weather being on! I do think everyone needs to give jb and gedi a break though. The reason for D2 is because of the amount of interest we've got here and running more then 12 in a division is more trouble than it's worth!

I really enjoyed the weather on Suzuka it made things quite interesting, infact I was a little disappointed when it stopped raining!

Would have been better if the rain came back on about lap 15/16.

Yeah I agree. Just had a look at 2nd race and everyone changed to race soft while I went for another set of inters on lap 11 no wonder I couldn't keep up! Lol

Andy wasn't having a go at you mate!
 
If the guys that quit leaving D2 rudderless could pm please filling me in to exactly why i would be grateful thanks to those that did finish i can imagine how dull it must have been.:yuck:

Anyone who feels maybe Season 3 isnt for you for one reason or another once again pm me and let me know will be a hell of alot easier to sort things out each week knowing whos commited and whos going to quit when things get a little tough!:yuck:

R35 you i got!

We had a good one lap battle :lol:

And I know, I was just saying I understand how hard it is - which is why I respect JB and Gedi for doing this in there own time. I knew you werent mate lol
 
Got a 1:45.6 practicing for Monza after, 3 tenths faster then my Lexus with full power in pre-season practice.:D BMW is a dream to throw around there, it would have been epic on Suzuka.:(
 
Reason why I didn't finish was cause I had a momentary power cut which obviously turned my PS3 off.
