Round 16 - Goldcoast Indy Grand Prix (Nov 15)

Excellent coverage.
A shame about the early yellows and they take so long but the commentary team filled in well.
Jason your volume was quite a bit lower than the others, you need to turn it up a bit next time.

Results are up. Points to follow...

Yes. will keep that in mind for next time.

Complètement oublié qu'il s'agissait d'un départ lancé avec safety...le temps d'aller faire pipi, le peloton est dans son tour de lancement et comme un c..., je passe au feu rouge... DQ... Mais ça n'a aucune importance.

J'espère que vous vous êtes bien amusé

ah dommage Yves tu avais ta place
ton depart depuis les stands n'aurait pas été une grosse perte car on a eu un Sc des le 2eme tour tu aurais eu toutes tes chances

pour ma part, je vois l'arrivé sur un circuit tres difficile et apres plusieurs DNF dont certains frustant
peu d'entrainement en version qualif misant sur une course tranquille pour enfin renouvé avec le damier
quelques tours pour aider jason et les orgas a trouver un circuit sympa (en + en Stream ce soir)
et pas beaucoup rouler depuis presque une semaine car mon heureux évenement majeur de ma vie va arrivé, la naissance de mon 1ere enfant Jeudi 12/11, un garçon Mattéo, donc j'arrive ce dimanche soir en vitesse de ma visite à la maternité.
j'allume le Pc le volant
je me connecte j'ai délibérément choix de parti dernier donc pas de qualif j'arrive en debut de warmup
et là gros probleme de volant je n'arrive pas a regler l'angle de rotation par defaut a 900°
je conduis avec 280°
l'interface fanatec ne s'ouvre pas
je relance RFactor rien
je decide de prendre quand meme part a la course de faire le 1er tour et de m'arrter aux stands pour regler le probleme (je joue en fenetré) mais un SC arrive j'attend donc l'ouverture des stands
je m'arrte et je repense a utiliser l'interface volant je passe de OFF a 900 puis 280
je repars dans les derniers mais mon volant est enfin OK pour la course !!! gaz !!

la premiere moitie de course est  tres haché par de nombreux SC (dont je ne suis pas le sujet)
j'evite par 2 fois des voitures crashées Petr et pascal (et un joli 360 pour repartir)

la seconde moitié de course est lancé et je fais la seule grosse faute de la soirée je touche un mur and le secteur1, suspension arriere gauche tordue la fin de course va etre longue
je mise sur un nouveau SC pour réparer mais il y en aura pas malgré qlq crash Alberto et Jacob,
un autre petit travers me fera encore perdre qlq sec au tour
je decide de finir la course a un petit rythme et ne pas ravitailler pour eventuelment garder une place ds les derniers tours.
je comptais doubler Jan Titz mais ce sera le malheureux Jacob qui se crash a 3 tours de la fin qui m'offre la 6eme place alors que je n'aurais pas fais mieux que 7eme avec mes dégâts.

tres heureux de terminer, merci pour le Stream Jason que je regarderai cette semaine
a la prochaine

for me, i see the finish line on a very diffuclt track and after many DNF with some very frustating
a few training laps because it was (finally) the week of the birth of my first son, Mattéo on thursday 12th)
with such few laps but with a good setup found on RFCentral
i decided to start last, but i struggle with Wheel angle setting,
i start the race with the bad angle 900° but at 1st pit stp i will solve it as i play in windowed screen
start is ok, 1st pit a bit delayed by 1st Safetycar
i solve the problem and go back racing with my standard 280° angle

first half of race is cut with a lot of safety car (not involved) and i avoid crashed cars petr and pascal (with a nice 360°

2nd half of race

Points are up  

Thanks a lot for all the nice words about the broadcast, i noticed the sound wasn't so good, also on my part, i will see what i can do for a possible next time

Id say that Richard volume was too high, he was much in the red than Jason.
But it was a good thig too, since then I recognised who was talking

Great work and really nice fun with you all!

Just watched the coverage - excellent job!!!!


After watching this, I think my problem hasn't been my normal setup - why didn't anyone warn me, that I've got the wrong wing configuration?

Clearly visible in the stream, that explains my great straight line speed

Ah, happened already at Long Beach, some people did not change the chassis config at the menu and still had the short oval one.

The game forces speedway config when applyable, but not the default road one. That must be selected manually.

A last minute difficulty made me miss the broadcast.
I watched that at my work on a phone this morning. What to say about that? Amazing broadcast, nice comments duet, even if I didn't catch a word, excepted "JeePee", but fun to follow. Splendid image, surely, Jason has a big cable.  
Great job Jason and Richard.
And thx to all participants.
Specialy grats to Gerard for his podium.
P.S: Nice flying pace car.

Merçi Ben.Il fallait rester concentrer,pour négocier les chicanes.Je suis parti dans les derniers,avec un stop/ go en prime,pas compris
Congratulations to fast furious in front.
Thanks a lot for all the nice words about the broadcast. You are experts.

I just finished to watch the broadcast, excellent " JP takes the lead, UNBELIEVABLE".
Bravo JP for your win. With Rocky, you were 2 dogs of war on the track. And dogs of war don't negociate.  
Caution, Pink Floyd inside

Thank you everyone for the nice words regarding the broadcast.  It went really well, and I'm sure the next one will be even better with some audio tweaks and additional graphics

Sorry for you, but with this broadcast, you signed your racing career stoppage. It's not too serious, a great director-commentators career starts for you.

Getting more and more angry with myself after my stupid wreck last night.   Had just done my fastest lap by almost a second, and had no other reason to keep on pushing other than trying to better that. Point gap down to Gerard is down to just 7 points now.

Henceforth, Richard Coxon will be known as Richard "The Coxster" Coxon 

Thanks to Mr. Wilks 

Erm, no he will not. 😶 hehe
