Round 11 - ADAC Rundstrecken-Rennen [Nov 26th]

Well.... What an evening

Race1

and a resonable start was followed by a battle for 8th place I think until my tires dies on Lap10.

Made a couple of misstakes after the tires went and in the end, I think, finished 13th having had a battle with Mick for a while (was a nice one mate ) but then dropped back when I had no grip left in the tires.

Race2

and another resonable start was followed by me trying to keep ahead of Phillipe who was attacking me a bit here and there while I was sideways.

After a few laps I sadly put it into the grass at T1 and lost a position to both Phillipe and Yannick but was able to rejoin just ahead of Alessio.
Me and Alessio, as he said, had a couple of laps of battling until he got a run on me and passed me around the outside into Turn4 (How did you pull that one off?!     ).

After this I did my best to stick to his rear end and I struck luck when Alessio, Yannick and Phillipe ran into a bit of troube, I can't remember exactly what happened

Managed to get a slight gap to Phillipe who was kind enough to keep Alessio back for quite a few laps (thank you   ) but in the end Alessio could make his way past.

A couple of laps later he had caught up to me and a fantastic scrap for 9th place ensued with Alessio giving me a couple of "hurry up" taps on the rear and looking for gaps but never being overambissioues nor stressed about trying to get by

Also, thank you very much for waiting for me when I lost it in the quick sweepers and sorry for the lack-luster rejoin, shouldn't have come straight across

After many laps of trying he could get around me on the second to last lap when I got sideways on power in the second to last turn but I didn't give up and put Alessio under as much pressure as I could muster in my tire-worn Beemer and, to my amasement, he cracked in Turn4 on the last lap and I could get by again.

Thankfully I could hold him and Yannick off and I could finish a happy 9th place

Thank you very much to everyone I had a battle with and, Also, Sorry Jose for the nudge into Turn1 in Race1, I braked just a little bit too late

Also, Alessio, Jason Plato has nothing on me, I'm a far better defender

And I agree, that battle was very similar to the fun we had in the BTCC championship


I hope to see you all in the next round and for some more fun to go with it

No very happy about somes cuttings, I saw yesterday.
During warmup, I told "always 2 wheels on the track" to Jose who asked for cuttings rules.
Sometimes we can miss the chicane because of a missed braking, but not on every lap.
We count on the fairplay of the drivers to be disciplined minimum. To make the cop and to watch the replays after every race are not our policy.
Races are a moment of detente, not a sausage party.

I agree with everything you say Ben, but sorry this sentence made me laugh my head off

Great race, Jef !

Que t'es t-il arrivé, Didier, à la deuxième course ?

J'ai juste vu ton message : "...pas vu le feu" et te déconnecter.
Tu as été disqualifié ?

The next time that I have a report about a driver cutting a chicane or a turn on purpose, I will check the replay and if it is indeed done on purpose, the concerned driver will lose all the points he earned on this particular event. If this driver do the same again, he will be excluded of the championship and not welcome in the other HSO races anymore.

Il a dû griller le feu rouge à la sortie des stands, et comme en vrai, c'est une disqualification pour ca

fantastic Jef

Can you post them on this thread?

Beautiful pictures I wish I knew some ENB settings that made the game look like that, should be possible to do

I have ENB plugin but these screenshots are extra photoshopped, would be overkill if u drove like this.
all kinds of blur, lighting effects, contrast, glow...... it's just what photoshop does best,
i make a shot, position it and then do different blurs and lighting manually right where i want it, every
screenshot, manually.
--------------------------------------------------
So here is ENB and GID files working together.
---->
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6404bjx29geqeqn/Jeeve%20files%202014.rar?dl=0

I use this in all my RF1 installs,

* ALT-tab does not work anymore,
* if u have screenflashes, press CTRL-F,  dont ask me why but it works.
* shift backspace disables the ENB effects

the trick i did is adjust ENB proxystuff to link to the right files called d3x blabla
plus having a working GID (global info display)
i never have crashes or disconnects  
its all there, if u need help, let me know

Wow thanks Jeff

That's 1-2 results, made me proud at home track
1st one was tough, clear.


I made a 100% results. That pole surprised me. I thought the mercedes much faster on this track

The Mercedes is 20 kg heavier, it can't help much in corners.
And, speaking for myself, it takes a little longer to master a track when there's more than 3 corners - which is the majority of german tracks.
I didn't expect a lot with no training, but somehow could win race 1 with a couple more laps (and not being blocked once again by lapped car).

Oh come on JP, lapped cars are for you like handicap for golfers, it would be no fun to race against the rest of us without it

What you did with the Mercedes in this championship is at least as worthy as what Balazs did with the M3, and most of us can see, appreciate and applaude it. But anyway I'm preaching to the choir here, because I know you are not like Carlorenzo just thirsty of victories and statistics, there's more in the game than that for those who know

Some good rivalry keeps the blood pumping

I'm planning to go FULL attack on the top bmw's at the long straights of Hockenheim. Last race, last chance

Some Beautiful pics there Jef ...

Peter why don't you and Jef join us at Bathurst 85
