Round 14 - Grand Prix of Cleveland (Oct 18th)

The pace car works, I tested it personally. It must be something on your end, Raul.

I'm in #33

tried it now with petr, it works, sorry guys again, it must have been a gleech or something..

well be here tonight around 22hrs, maybe sooner...

present if no baby pitstop

update is OK for me safety car work for me on offline

but i noted that it is quite slow 85-86 km-h

with such long straights i suggest 100 or 120km/h

the speed for safty car formation lap  and pace lap is missing in GDB

every track should be edited with this missing line

Absent.

absent after all, I'm afraid...

little bit late, but i'm absent for today too

Can't find the server now

Weird, you tried the searching with the IP?

have you tried entering the address manually?

Yes but I get "no games available"  

I can see the other two servers and some minutes ago I was in the CART one before it was reset, but now I can't find it

Enter the IP address manually via the plus sign bit, and it should appear.

Very weird. Only other suggestion i have is to reset your router and PC

Just did that, no joy

Sorry but then i'm out of suggestions, Only thing is keep trying.

People are still entering OK, so it must be something your end

Deleted multiplayer.ini and now worked, but I could only do one qualy lap

I almost skipped this one as it was my first road race with these cars and I wasn't happy with the times I was putting in. I was running 1:01s in offline practice so my plan was to run with the other backmarkers, get experience in the car to improve for next time, and hopefully get a decent finishing position through the inevitable attrition.

Then lap one came around and I was heavily punted in turn 5. Many missing parts and a blown engine freed up my afternoon pretty quickly.   Oh well, at least the next round is an oval.

en 13 tours 3 safety car ... elle commence a me sortir par les yeux celle la ...

désole a la voiture bleu et blanche au T2 , JP s etant un peu raté sur le 1 er freinage au depart et ne voulant pas interferer dans la lute pour le titre , ne le voyant plus dans mes retros , j ai levé le pied pour ne pas le dépasser et il y a eu un petit contact avec cette voiture désolé

Was going great, The potential was there for a top 3 result, but wasn't to be. Was very happy with my race pace, was suprised to see 2 yellows in quick succession, but then i spun, JM Placais spun, Greg destroyed his car with debris all over the track, but no yellows for those incidents

Still had fun, see you at the next one

Blown engine for me    I almost made a mess out of turn 1, but thankfully didn't cause anyone to be wingless.  Never liked this track much anyway, so I am sort of relieved to be out 

Qualif:

i think i had only one timed lap as other race on street and road courses.
so i go easy and i managed to do a lap under 59 sec without big mistakes i did 58 sec 993.
it put me in 9th place for the start on 18 drivers present.

But the 3 laps limits is not ON, some drivers take the opportunity (they did well of this new setting)
it does matter after all, but it is better when the rules are always the same.



Race:

i did an early pit on 3rd cauton at lap 14.
i was offbeat but with the setting of boost, i can adjust to finish line with 2 more pit stops
second pit stop at lap 45
i was on a good pace to finish alone at potential 6th place
i planed next pit stop at lap 75 till the checkered fag

But at lap 59, Petr Hlavac third (3rd) is behind to lap me.

i want to let him pass, but i don't know i chnage my mind why i let him pass before turn 8, instead of in the next straight  

(much easier and what i did few lap before for Rocky and JP).

i did the same at Houston race and i put my self in danger.
i won't do it again.

so i put my self one more time in danger, i take a bump out of the line and the car goes out of grip and i finished in the tire wall !!!
gggrrrrrrr
  rear left wheel broken end of race  

shame, i manage to control the car when on the racing line, and i avoid contact at first corner at the start.

see you next time thanks for this nice championship combo.

Jason, safety car speed was very slow. (around 80km/h)
for next race(s), if you want i can help for Rio, we can check and modify if needed

Dana, it was me... Im so embaresed, it was sooo rookie from my side... I expected you'll start to brake few meters later, but it was too late... I tryed to avoid you, but with locked wheels it was nothing to be done..


Got damagded suspension, car was pulling on the left a bit, got stop and go becose of speeding in pits, entered twice, but still managed to get P6 with descent pace and no threat. I was calculating the fuel for the next pit stop, and lost concetration and hit the cone of death..

One more time, apologies Dana, I was to colect some points and pass them to you, but hell... cone was there
