Round 1 - The Road Atlanta 6 hours

There's one guy, 9 laps behind, that managed to send the leader off track  See you on track in one hour  

That is the AI when we went to switch computer took control! 

 


osni kniess on 0.006 sec excact ............ sector 2. since 8 laps.

OUTSTANDING totally

since lap 127


well Mick, well done so far !!!!!

As my partner Austin said, the IA took control of the car in pits, from the lap 109.

I ask kindly apologize for the inconvenience and that the administration disregard the laps after that.

I still remained those laps remaining on the server, in the hope that he could control the car again, but this did not occur.

    

Cole gave me a heads up TS3 about the OsniAI car. As soon as it got close I knew. Could hear the AI throttle blipping. He popped me right in the ass in a bad place but I expected it. Car went nuts in the pits I hear.

Good race overall but we had issues. I scrapped a wall pretty good and spun it 3 times throughout the race. Cole did an Summer Olympics caliber tumbling rolling run down the hill after clipping the dangerous right turn curb going down hill. Thankfully the car fixed up as we did a driver change immediately.

I think we are dead last of the cars still alive but that is fine by me. The Escort is a beast with elevation changes.

Nice driving Cole! Bring her home. Maybe a 10th is still possible.

Edit: JP is out for some reason. Time for a vulture pass. Man JP was flying too. Much suckage.

Damn that was a hard last stint for me the car had NO LIGHTS     

Apologizes to anyone I might have surprised when braking turning in or whatever. I know a car trying to unlap himself touched me slightly (But I think there wasn't any big problem) but I couldn't even see the headlights of the other cars so I didn't even know if they were attempting the pass or not   

Anyway, feel sorry for JP's bad luck since they had been doing an amazing race, way over the rest, but we inherited the lead and I'm confident that Richard will be able to bring the car home so at least a podium seems to be in the cards

You are two laps up with 50 min to go. Hope for the win!   

Edit: 1.1 laps ahead and Ben is in a hurry  

Edit 2: But Richard is in a bigger hurry!

@Alberto : bah, it wasn't even bad luck. I wasn't attacking, I lost focus one second, didn't even brake late, and bam, I just clipped that yellow wall that's so far from the track, if I wanted to crash in it, I'd have missed it  
The neck ache I'll get tomorrow would have been less painful with a victory...
This exit is ranked pretty high in my simracing disappointments  

Whatever happens in the last part of the race, congrats for your race 

Utoh another late DNF, time for another vulture pass.

Jan and Mick are on the same lap for the SCCA Sedan B race.


Ooopsie Cole had a one sided argument with the S/F straight wall    DNF

Excellent race guys, I really enjoyed it. I was learning the car better and better each lap, and eventually had it down to near consistent 1:36's and 1:37's. From there I got overconfident in my ability and smacked the wall blowing the motor.

Even so, as I said, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing you all in the next one!   

Best Regards,

Cole

35s ahead of 3rd place Porsche, but we might have to do a splash and dash, 25mn to go... suspense...   

So So sorry Alberto.....       Car just clipped a Kerb and hit on of those markers seprating the long and short tracks.

So so sorry again, Fell a right    You can place the word

 

Well it was fun while it lasted   I feel really sorry for you because you did the better part of the race and the whole of the lead. It was a tremendous effort and it should have gotten a reward, but such is life. We'll do better next time   

We will be classed as 3rd in class i think, But i just cannot believe it.   

But yes, if you will still have me, I would gladly team up again   

On another note, During the pitstops i was having a problem, Everytime it was my turn to take over, it would only let me click race after the pitstop was done and it always put me in the paddock? Also my rfactor hud was saying the race was over and i was only car on the track? Wierd

Jean-Marie me dit avoir été viré par un attardé qui l'a envoyé dans le mur, ce qui a causé notre abandon.
Un peu dommage s'il s'agissait de cet AI...

I think we can open a Porsche graveyard here, it's exactly where I crashed too (but without clipping the kerb).
You guys did a great race, it's a shame it ended so close from the finish !

Philippe and I had the same problem.
But I noticed that I could click Race when entering the server, and that the button disappeared after a few seconds. So when it was my turn, I exited the server, came back, quickly got onboard with Philippe and clicked race (say 10 seconds after entering the server)
Our luck was that the finish line is at pit entry, so those who got the bug didn't lose a lap.

I didn't think those separator's would be solid, Usually plastic in real life no?

But yes you drove a great race, No was i could match your pace at the end of the stints, Maybe a little chance at the beginning of them, But no chance at the end.

Well done Ben/Antoine on your win! You inherited...... I mean earnt it!

Only joking well done guys, And a massive well done to the guys who tackled this monster single handed!   

Great work!

Those are the real heroes of the day   

4 of the 7 finishers did 6 hours.

1 of the 3 did 4:50 hours.

It seems in the track they are indeed plastic (the texture is), but the track maker didn't feel like making them movable   One of the numerous modding mistakes on this track  It's not like it was an anticut...

BTW, Alberto, if you didn't have the headlights, it's because you didn't download again the track. It has been corrected for this race.

True, I remembered too late that Ben said that
