Ditto.

I'm quite angry right now, so I will write tomorrow. I just can't understand why some people go around as if these were touring cars, doing some crazy moves and chopping the corners for the car behind. 

DNF to early too

Surprised on lap 10 (1 lap after restart of second SC) i was (too) fast behind you Alberto, who seem to brake maybe be not to early but hard not on the apex but middle of race line
me too in middle of race line, i added to much brake
car slide side ways

end of race

disappointed after many laps of training over 100 (alone) ......

Right leg was killing me after all the yellows made a mistake, bent suspension.

See you all at the next one, thanks for organising Jason

It was a lot of fun when green flag was out. Sometimes maybe a liitle over the edge and there were contacts here and there. You just don't want to hear "tree wide in the middle" I also made some mistakes, the most serious was hiting Pascal while entering T4, sorry for that. It was just intense. Btw, the highlight of my race was my MONSTER powerslide in T4 in lap 19. That is something to remember  See you next time

I liked the racing here, and pleased with my effort, but not terribly happy with how it ended. Crashes during cautions are absolutely unacceptable.

Very sorry to Mathias, that tight situation out of T4 was a bit too tight. Couldn't back out of it enough until it was too late.

Results are up; points will be updated late tonight or perhaps tomorrow...

Jacob I apologize, I was not watching the road .I does not deserve third place.

At the front, it was the same, I had a Ganassi driver that drove into my right front suspension as if I wasn't there... How surprising. Probation much ?

Haha indeed ! I was shocked, I thought you were spinning for sure Well done

Vraiment dommage ton abandon Pascal, tu as été très prudent dans un peloton de furieux et tu as payé pour le spin d'un autre...

Yeah sad end for me, I could follow JP/Rocky very good at that time and didn't want to lose too much time, so I thought it should work driving through Turn 4 together, sadly we touched each other, couldn't save the car.

I have to complain about my ugly new pit crew, why they just don't put that wheel back on

Great racing under green I think! Sorry @ Petr that we touched on turn 3, was just to much input for me "three wide in the middle"

Points are up

Yep, it was in T2. "Three wide on the outside" and BOOM, i was in the wall But it didn't bent my steering that bad and the car was still drivable. Sadly, it all came to an end when Dana drifted out waaaay too wide in T4, we touched, i lost the car and ultimately my rear wing . But these things should be more avoidable now, as i'll finally get my first 16:9 monitor today. I used 4:3 resolution until now, so the viewing angle was rather poor.

Why exactly do people think that you can go on a track like this three wide? You and Pascal did that to me on one of the fast kins, one at the outside, the other at the inside. Three wide can happen at California or Michigan, and with people who know how to oval race. At the kinks in Rio it's crazy and you both were lucky that I did not do the exact thing I was victim of after some laps: Road racing style cornering, chopping the car inside as if it was not there.

Jesus, you can't block at ovals as in road courses, and you can't overtake the same way. Everytime someone got by me on the brakes I got him back after the turn, isn't it evident after two or three times that things work here differently?And isn't it evident that once they got you, the worst thing you can do is  hold on the brakes and chop into the apex at like 15-20 MPH less than normally???

I'm going to tell Jason to add an M1 Abrahams to the USAC73 roster for next year, or it won't be possible to finish races

Merci JP

la course était encore longue et pensant que les pilotes restants étaient capables de finir sans faire de faute...

J'ai fais un saut aux stands pour refueler et gagner potentiellement 6 tours qui auraient pu être un avantage pour le finish

Evidemment cela me faisait reculer de la 6eme à la 10eme place...a l'arrière du peloton....mais bon voila

Cétait sans compter sur l'énorme faute de TITZ   ....  qui s'encadre lui ......mais surtout moi  

Mais bon depuis le milieu de championnat..... c'est devenu mon quotidien .....

Ce doit être la quatrieme ou cinquieme course .....au je paie pour la faute d'un autre... .

Ce qui est surtout gonflant ce de ne jamais passer la ligne.....mais bon c est le jeu

ca fais partie du trip......

j'apprend



PC:  
est il possible de diminuer la fumée des autre concurents lorsqu'il se sorte   ,

c est sur que concernant Henrique au michigan et Titz a rio le fait de ne pas les voir ca a pas aidé pour

que je les évite....


Et autre chose, est ce que l'on peu réduire voir anihiler complètement les tresautements de la voiture
sur ce circuit c'était infernal a pleine vitesse ....je voyais carrément plus la piste  

Question:


Is it possible to decrease the smoke of the other pilots or clean it when they crashed ?  


And something else, is it possible to reduce or stop completely the vibrations of the car ?
On this track, it was infernal at full speed to drive well ( it was undriveable......... )

Pour la fumée, je crois qu'il y a l'option des effets spéciaux. Pour les bosses, y'a une option dans le plr, mais je sais plus quoi exactement (head movement ?). Moi qui suis en vue caméra embarquée, et qui a moins de mouvement qu'en vue cockpit, les bosses me donnaient le tournis.

Par contre, j'ai regardé le replay, et un truc que tu n'as pas fait, c'était de freiner. Dana a évité de peu, et il freinait ou en tous cas n'accélérait plus, alors qu'il avait moins de temps de réagir.
Or quand tu le touches, presque 2 secondes après l'amorce du spin, tu prends toujours de la vitesse
J'étais presque à côté de toi, et j'ai pilé, ce qui n'aurait pas été une bonne idée s'il y avait un peloton derrière, mais sur ce coup là, on était derniers, donc aucun risque.

Speaking of head movement, do you know which parameter exactly in .plr is to be changed to get more head roatitng along the wheel. I meean rotating left and right around "y" (vertical) axis, not rolling (bending) around "z" axis..
At this moment Im having this, but Id like a little bit more, but just cant pick the right value or parameter!

thank you

Doesn't the menu option for look to apex already do that?

I think rF doesnt have that option...
