AMSCAR Sprints - Amaroo Park [July 12th]

Not really, but you can get your laps more consistently, sometimes, you'll have to mix up softs/meds meds/hards depending on the track, it's almost a lottery. In qualifying we only do 5 laps, so probably the softs can handle it, but don't expect much more from them

Absent, amusez-vous bien

Effectivement, Martin, j'étais resté sur le traditionnel mercredi, tant mieux !

Sorry absent finalement

Race server launched pass : hso87

Remember that his meeting comprises 6 sprints, so late arrival can join even if they missed the first(s) one(s)

Vraiment très sympa ces sprint

Que du bon sur l’ensemble des courses, de bons fight , des adversaires fair-play

J'aurais même pu accrocher un podium, mais j'ai buté sur Tiago qui prenait toute la route avec sa grosse Ford pleine de couple

Bravo à tous , félicitations aux vainqueurs , merci HSO pour cette soirée pleine de fun

j ai jaimais imaginé que ce champ serait passé du mercredi habituel au jeudi

Great stuff, REALLY REALLY enjoyed it!! Didnt enjoy my bump up the backside in the last race (Thanks frank only joking)

Cant wait for the 100 lps of this place, Felt more at ease with every extra lap. Thanks for hosting

Hi!

Yes, this was very funny tonight!

Grats for the mega-fast aliens in front of the grid!

Had very cool fights with Franck, Dave, Ben,... great stuff!

But I get nervous when I think of the Amaroo race with the distance of 100 laps, with the Mustang - this will be an orgy of tire changing...

Amen to that

OK so I'm having a bit of a hard time to do the race standings ^^ . The new site cannot compute aggregate results for one race if the heats of the said race do not all have the same number of laps. At least that's my understanding. I'm sure Gui will fix that in no time. But more importantly, and to my great shame , I switched too fast from race 4 to race 5 so the server did not have time to create the xml export file and replay for the second 5-lapper...

So in order to do the aggregate standings I need you all to please try and remember where you finished and if possible with an estimation of the gap you had with the people finishing around you .

1 Tiago
2 Lorenzo (+00s2)
3 Frank (+04s0)
4 ?
5 ?
6 ?
7 ?
8 ?
9 ?
10 ?
11 ?
12 ?

Sorry about the mishap guys... It seems running such weird formats is too much for my poor admin skills ^^ . I also had the pressure of having the best simracing fan in the world in the back seat of my car, so I was too much focused on being awesome on track I guess !

12. Mike Becnel (noooo doubt)

But I had a LOT of fun scrapping with whichever victim got relegated back there with me. Love this series. I suspect I will not be able to make any more races though, work schedule is going back to normal and the boss may not like me racing at ~1PM.

Edit: I highly recommend the sprints to pad those race finish % stats

And also once again all my apologies to Richard for the bump in the last race :s . Thought you died on the spot, was glad to see you survived and climbed back up the standings !

If the Nissan was a left-hand drive car i would have died the way the passenger door hit them barrier's!!

I have updated the AMSCAR championships standings in the first post of this thread. I'll update it with Race 2 (2A+2B+2C) when I will have sorted out the 2A mess.
The available Sprint results (5 out of 6) are now on the site. I'll look into the replays and the missing results later.

Not last?

Does this mean I can upgrade my status from "Sucks" to "Able to pass road kill??"

Note - were it not for Elia having a pretty bad DNF I would have safely secured dead last place.

I want to know where all the other slow pokes were who could barely turn the lap times i turned. I was expecting 4 to 6 slow pokes like myself. Bummer! Somebody has to give Lorenzo something to pass towards race end guys!!

A pretty amusing evening, we even raced with public in the grandstands though not as female and more hairy than we would have wished

Since I am not able to take part in race 3 due to vacations in August, I took it as a fun event and simply battled around with anything that moved. Somewhen in one of the stints my wheel took off from the desktop (It had been clean up day in the room so it seems it had been loosened a bit) and I went straight off in a braking area crossing Yves' path -sorry mate - of course with the wheel loosened it took only some more turns to go completely out and I stalled the engine. Fastened the screw quickly, restarted and joined near Mike Becnel, so decided to have some fun with him, and we certainly did

Stint 2 in race 1 was a fun battle with Ben, but softs did not last out the punishment and went up to 150º, so I had to back off

To top the crazyness I forgot to load more fuel for stint 3 in race 2, and had only for 10 laps I let everybody overtake me at the start and tried to make an econo-drive by early shifting but it was impossible and I had to pit for 4 laps of fuel

Good luck in the 100 laps event

rentré trop tard et trop fatigué hier soir
