Round 1 - 24e Trofeo Mario Angiolini - Monza [Jan 20th]

Booking in please

IIRC, the kerbs do NOT count as track surface. Correct?

Only asphalt counts as track. You must have the inside wheels at least on the edge of asphalt vs kerb, not already over the kerb itself and the outside ones at the grass (If that is even possible without crashing )

Which server is being used please?

In short, as long as two wheels are still on the asphalt at all times, it counts.

Race server launched.

Remember qualy start to 8:20pm.

I will join the race in the #31 Sierra as it is one of the two races I can do this season

as I've signed up, I'd also like to race tonight

You both are welcome

Sorry but I'm having the most weird braking problems, my pedal is failing intermittently and I struggle to make a single clean lap. In these conditions I would be a danger on track, so I have to quit

Jan come back, quick, I relaunched.

thx for waiting and let me reconnect

Race report:
I havent trained much so i qualified 17th on the grid. Due to my disconnecting just before the start, i was near the end of the field. In Race 1 all went very well although i had a bad start. So i managed to finish 16th. In Race 2 all went much worse, i hit someone in turn 1 and damaged my suspension i think. At turn 3 i missed my breaking point and unfortunately hit Roberto Mello. Sry for that, next time i will take care.

Vu depuis mon poste d'observation.

Whow, that was a race ^^
Race one was pretty cool for me, I had a pretty nice start (seemed Richard Wilks didn't have a good start in front of me ) and that race I finished 11th (because I lost 9th and 10th place, sadly)..

Race 2? Please no...
I first forgot to load my setup, that meant standard suspension, standard gearbox (250 kmh? You wish...) and standard fuel.... 6 laps fuel.... 6 god damn laps fuel... That meant I had to go from the start straight to the pits, got some fuel, had some repairs done and .. Boom I was last..

Well I tried to be as careful as I could, in the beginning of the last lap, I think I was 25th, I saw Lee Gibson on the grass in the first chicane and in the end, I somehow managed to close up to Philippe Henrique and catch him in the parabolica
So I'd say everything went better than expected ^^

Richard Coxon and Ben Paulet are the primary admins for this series. If you have a complaint PM them directly. Do not post it here (except for minor "hey, if you really want an extra bumper just ask!" type stuff).

The results are up.
About standings, it will be later. We have some moves and cuttings to analyse.

i really need to stop messing the first race in these double headers

So, qualy went well, then first race, (no starting lights of signal yet again.. you guys must tell what you use to know that the race started...) huge battle for the lead! Was having fun, altough there were some questionable actions from some people, but then i had a brain fade when my cell phone ringed, missed my braking point, and swerved away of everybody to go and stop on the wall


So yet another second race starting from the back. This time no incidents, i slowly climbed up the order to rack some points Sierra was a treat to drive! On with the next.

I will bring the popcorn. And flamethrower with napalm accessory.

I would like to apologizes about limited laps during qualy.
Indeed as a stupid guys, I set the qualy laps on track default, and it sets on 8.
Sorry, I should had to set that on unlimited directly. Sorry for lost time.

I just think it's weird that it took that amount of time to spot it. I saw it the moment the qual started. Told Roy it on out teamspeak. Then went to do some stuff because I wanted to wait 15 min to drive due to the limited laps.

The same goes for the restarting of the server/race.

I completely get that it is important to try and keep everyone happy etc. but sometimes it's better to just take a proper boss-decision and do things

The races themselves... Well... They were... uhm. Interesting to put it that way. The Alfa was freakingly slow in a straight line (I get why there was only Alfas left to choose from), and some people went back into the racing line just in time for breaking after passing me. That's not cool at all.

If you noticed it at the beginning, why only mention I on teamspeak, why not on the in game chat, it is a technical issue and your allowed to talk for them.
It was human error, we all make them. All we can do I apologise.

But anyway, thankyou Ben for hosting in my absence.

Ole we agree the decisions were a little slow. Apologies there. Reason was we were discussing options on how to fix. We attempted a fix to remove the DQs via admin commands but it did not work. As soon as that was determined Ben reset.

The second reset was to allow a rejoin to the race.
