Here is a quick run down of my warm up at Infineon Stock Car Circuit:
Car: Alfa Romeo GTA
(RED)
Laps: 8
AI: +6
Tyre Wear: Mild
Penalty: Time Penalty
Time: 12'24.785
I could definately have gone quicker, but had to 2 rather large offs together with some real bad driving from me.
First issue was on Lap 1 at turn 10 (fast right hand sweep before hairpin) where the AI in P3 went a little wide and got 2 tyres onto the dirt. The AI then came back onto the circuit, T-Boning me in the left rear door and spinning me off into the grass. I eventually came to a stop just short of the concrete wall
, relegating me back to 6th position.
By Lap 3, and lapping in the 1'31's, I eventually passed all the AI except for P1. I passed P1 on lap 4 going through the left-right combo before the Sports Car Course turns off. In my haste to get away from him/her (being politically correct here, you never know
) , I ran wide into turn 10, which sent me farming into the sticks again, with a rather large concrete wall approaching me and "Little Red Riding Hood" at break neck speed. With nerves of steel (and soiled underwear), I managed to gain enough control to pull it back onto the black stuff before the race was red flagged and an ambulance with life support was called.
The brain fade on my part
, helped me loose oodles of time and my first postion.
The good news is that I did manage to overtake P1 again, on lap 5, with a copy cat move of the previous lap. This time I managed to stay there the rest of the race and took gold by some distance.
To sum up, I only ran this once, but am considering re-doing it at a later stage with AI prehaps on +10 to get them out of my hair in the first half of the race so I can pick them off one by one.
I did find that, although the penalty setting was "activated", it really was not needed. I also noticed that there was no way that I could match my "hot lap" done in time-trial mode, probably due to lack of tyre wear and almost no fuel.
Lastly, my tyres were still green at the chequered flag. 👍
My apologies for rambling on, so gonna stop here.
Good luck all, see ya's later. 👍
