Round 5 : Brands Hatch [September 18th]

Well that was fun i think everyone agrees that the NEW Physics where great a huge improvement

I Made a really bad start and dropped the clutch way to quickly so got bogged down at the start
had a nice fight with Laurent in the 1st few laps until he made a mistake and was trying really hard to
catch Franck we must have been doing virtually identical laptimes as i was trying really hard, then he
made a mistake so i then inherited 7th place .....

Well done to Carlo on the Win and Adam for 2nd and congrats all finishers ....

Highlight of the race watch Greg and Steve on the replay what a race well done guys

It was nice to see 10 cars but would be nice to see even more in Austria ...

Thanks for this one, guys. I really enjoyed the new physics (played a lot with mod ver. 1.0), the track and the race, especially the fight with Gerard after my mistake to get my position back.
5th for me is good enough for start, better then i expected.

Nice one Matthew and very good job for your 1st race

Une vidéo de mon premier tour, le seul qui était intéressant

Adam lost 2nd to me,when he went wide
But had great race with greg

Thanks for your comments on the final physics. But Brands Hatch is a very peculiar track where all cars feel different due to elevation changes and lots of braking while turning. Wait until you try the car in more normal tracks, it is now really much more enjoyable

pour moi une course super sympa avec une tres belle bagarre avec mon ami Steve

thanks for the fun Steve

je vous prépare quelques extraits vidéos .

4th in fact momentary lapse of reason (at lap 22 and 23).
One slip and i was almost in the wall, mistakes I could explain only by some brain damage. My high hopes for this race ended in sorrow.

Steve Parker VS Greg Goissen

Standings are updated on the site

What a great fight

Martin and Frank thx for the update

You know what I love about the final physics?

Watching the footage is like watching the real races, the cars do exactly the same! I have watched almost every procar video that is around, and believe me when I say that the videos posted in this thread by Greg and Matthew are astonshingly similar to how the real cars raced

Looking forward to Hockenheim, but specially to Imola, which is my favourite track

Celui qui allume ses pneus,dans la vidéo de Matthew,that is me.
twenty-seven separates us.what a fight.

I Agree Alberto , I feel much more confident when racing closely , before i was worried about wandering 1mm of the racing line but now i feel like i can push much more especially when in close combat ....

Grip is much better but you can still push the car onto the edge
and its great to still be able to slide the car .....

Matthew and Gerard Another nice video ......

Incidentally, I just checked the real life Brands Hatch race pole lap, and it was 1:30,270 by Reutemann.

Carlo's pole on sunday was 1:29.848, only around 0.5 seconds away

Funnily enough i was thinking that it was 1:23 something last year
