1989 Targa Florio - Rallye di Sicilia [November 3rd]

Frank,

The drivers briefing will be on Teamspeak or typed characters on the monitor?

Looking forward to this even if only for the single lap...

Briefing as usual in-game via the chat. Same for individual starts given by the admin for SS1

Thanks..

Frank-feel free to place me at the very back starting last. At most I'll be able to complete 2 laps...

On the contrary maybe we could move you up the list a bit so that you get more track time ?

I am really fine with last, and do not want to hold up the others...

My speeds will resemble more of a fast tour than racing...

le serveur sur lequel je me suis entraîné semble ne pas répondre, c'est quoi l'ip v?

IP : 91.121.135.76:34500 logiquement  

Game keeps crashing to desktop. Hasn't done this once since I started practicing for the event. :/

Evan you can join, no one will be entering the server during the race, so you won't have freezes then

Well crap. I can't even get in now. I am able to join the server, see my car for a moment, then bam. Back to desktop. ERR.

Also, I turned down max visible vehicles. Ill try some other stuff. Forgive my constant rejoining.

Super, je fais un bon 1er tour et je manque le pit ... elle est ou l'entrée pour le ravitaillement ????

C'est la petite allée sur la gauche dans le virage qui précède le départ de l'ES 1.

oui donc j'y étais mais allez savoir pourquoi, pas de bouton de pit programmé ... Ca me fait chier d'un lourd la ...

On the third stage, I hit a sign and broke front right suspension. Crawled somehow back to the service, but at the beginning of the second loop, I crashed really hard into wall and engine was dead.

suis resté planté sur un piquet !! 

impossible d'avancer ou reculer
dommage je m'amusais bien !! 

Unbelievable...

I managed to finish lap 1 after completing 3/4 of it with a flat right tyre(damn markstone!).

3rd lap, I went a bit too wide, went over the edge and hit a tree. Some are untouchable, but this one killed my engine.

Was so much fun, what a shame  

Bon, bah, j'ai fini le rallye. Je me suis garé, arrêté le moteur et j'attend les potes !

Par contre, le chrono ne s'est pas déclenché lors du départ de la première spéciale de chaque boucle (ES6 et ES11), malgré le respect du feu vert  

Plus qu'à attendre les résultats, mais quel plaisir !

merci HSO ! 

Great event!!! Had so much fun, Even the missus was enjoying watching it!

Thanks Frank for organising and thanks to JP for making the stages    

Cant wait too see the results, Don't envy who has to work it all out!

Thanks again

 

I am amazed I survived. I Did a 720 once and crushed the right door on the 2nd to last stage. Downhill high speed left under brakes almost ate me. Car had a lot of dings and scratches but it never got hurt too bad. Whoever that was who started behind Richard and I was FAST! Richard was no slowpoke either. I wish you two had stayed out ahead of me after 1st lap. I watched you guys too much in the intermediate sections! I think the survival rate was much higher this time then last. I doubt my slow pace will amount to a high finish.  

Great race HSO! Enjoyed it.  

une rencontre imprévue avec une borne après 10 virages, voiture déjà pliér, j'ai poussé jusqu'à la fin de la 1ère spéciale puis abandon, j'aurais même pas pu rejoindre les pits
j'étais pas préparé mais je connaissais la piste et ça allait bien au warm up, donc je ne peux être que déçu  

bravo aux finisseurs, merci HSO

If even the Missus enjoyed watching it then it must have been one awesome event  

Might try to upload a stage or two (my best stages out of the 15 perhaps, in other words 5) if I find the time during next week to record it all, have 2 exams coming up  


My event went fairly well. Had a hard time finding my pace and had a few spins over the first 2 stages but on SS3 I managed to pace myself really well and even caught up to Ben who was ahead of me by the end of the lap  

Went for the pits for fuel and tires but forgot it was Practice so had to run back on the road and enter the pits again to fill up which I belive bugged my lap as, for L2SS1 it didn't register, thank you very much Frank for allowing me to do SS1 once again after the event should have been done  

The rest of L2 went really well, had good pace, didn't make any big misstakes except for on SS2 where you have a quick right and then a caution right which is second gear where I came in too hot and almost hit the outside wall (Hit it quite hard on L3 but thankfully no damage)  

L3 and did the best I could and had resonable pace but tried to hard and crashed on the last stage and recieved a puncture in the last Fast Right that you have on the stage (tried flat out in 5th and understeered      )


Then I stopped and asked Frank to do SS1 once more and he agreed, again thank you very much Frank   

The stage went well except for an understeer moment just before the slow left hairpin left area  



Really enjoyed myself, was a lot of fun      

Now for a well earned snack and, maybe, a watch of the replay....... Or no, a snack and then sleep, exam at 8 tomorrow  


Thank HSO and everyone, was an awesome event  

Great race guys... I did a mistake in first lap and spinned out. Thankfully I didnt wreck my car. Then in lap 2 my concentration went somewhere else and i couldn't do a decent time. Lap 3 was ok somehow  

It was a great first race for me on HSO. Thank you all and see you next time

Just thought, after i finished SS1 on lap 2, The spotter guy didnt say my time as i crossed the finish line, but the timer started again for the liason section? is this a problem or will it be ok?

I Had that also i'm sure it should be ok though  

The liaisons all had a laptime, which makes it fun to do the classification  Nothing abnormal for you guys.

Well, that was fun, TCL and Targa Florio makes a good combo  Too bad we don't have the full Isle of Man to do the same
