Fabcar fun-run

I have made a mistake in pits. Went on soft tires, has changed on hard. Result -2 positions. I'm idiot))))

Congrats to Tristan on the dominating win!

I wanted to say sorry to Matej Ahacic for punting you in the brake zone of the bus stop, completely my fault. Also to Scott Berube for almost running you over will you were slowing on the front straight for what looked like a pit stop. Very sorry guys.

Those happened very early on, after that I just drove around to finish the race. Switch softs on the front during the first pit stop, picked up my lap times, but too little too late.

Thanks everyone for racing.

Thank you stewards.

I lost my FFB after the 1st. lap, I went to pits after moving up to 14th. place...I did not go out until my FFB was resetted but took almost 1 minute... I went out and I had an incident with Noelte and lost my rear wing.Again to pits all the way to 20 and a lap down...Half of the race I was closing in to George Pol and I moved left, human error and we touched and he went to the wall...My apologies George...

Almost forgot this.Once again got fuel cal wrong,need to go back to school.I think i gave George a little tap on lap1,so did a drive thru just in case.Then on my 1st pitstop,just comng up to my pitbox,i noticed a car start to move out of the pitbox just behind mine.I kept thinking he will stop,no,kept going and blocked my entry forcing me to back up a little to gain access to my box.Stiil enjoyed the race,although i would like to know Tristans secret on fuel consumption.

Bugger, made a bit of a mess of that but the last stint was great fun.

Happy with starting from 4th, and within a couple of laps I managed to get by Paul, to move up to 3rd. Stanislav and tristan where far too quick for me to catch them, so for the remainder of the first stint I had Paul up my arse, bump drafting me on the oval :). Then it all went wrong :(.

Coming into the pits I slowed down and put the speed limiter on. Now the wire to the button I have mapped as the pit limiter has gone a bit dodgy somewhere (as have most of the bottons on my faithful Momo Red if I'm honest :( ). What this means is that sometimes with the wheel at a certain angle the button wont work, as the wire looses contact where ever it`s broken. Other times if you press the button, the wire will loose contact for a split second but then reconect, which means if you're still pressing the button it will be the same as pressing the botton twice and unfortunately that's what happened today.

I hit the limiter button which turned it on, but then instantly it turned back off without me noticing. I only realized when I thought the revs where a little high on the car, and when I looked at the speedo I was doing 55MPH.

Of course that got me a stop and go, my first one in RF so I wasn't totally sure what I had to do. Anyway came in on the next lap, and the bloomin fuel man starts pouring fuel in the car, so instead of a 10 seconds stop and go it turned out to be 19 :@. Guess I need to do a couple more to work them out :).

I was now down in 10th and trying to chase down Sandeep and Richard, I managed to close the gap a little by the time the 2nd pitstops came around but not by as much as I was wanting.

I pitted before both them and charged like hell in the last stint, and I was able to leapfrog them both after they had stopped. After the stops where done I found myself in 6th, with john about 10 secs up the road so I kept on it to try and catch him. It was going to be hard to get a 10 seconds gap in 10 mins but it was worth a try.

Pushed like crazy, and I was catching but it wasn't fast enough and in the end I missed out by just over 3 secs. The race just about ended a lap too soon for me, but then catchings one thing, overtaking is another :).

Grats Tristan, Paul and Dennis. Looks like I missed a good battle up their for 2nd :).

Cya all in Canada :)

Pennzoil Pontiac was pretty good for most of the race, even after nerfing the LF quarterpanel on the guardrail at the apex of T2 while focusing too hard on what Richard was doing. :) That was some good racing, Rich, you were faster when it mattered. Congrats to Tris FTW and thank you for posting your setup as I know nothing about how to set these things up, and also to Kieron for some additional tips.

I knew I was in for a hard race when Sandeep was 0.004s behind me in quali.

First stint went well, although I never had more than 2s I was quite comfortable. Ran a lap or two longer than most around me, thought my position would be fairly safe. Unfortunately just as I pulled out of my pitbox a backmarker did the same and I got held up round the pit exit. No foul, just bad timing really.

Before I could warm my tyres, Sandeep was past. With more downforce on my setup it was all I could do to keep up on the straights, with no chance to pass until he ran wide in the infield and I had to go for it.

Before the second stop I'd pushed hard and got to around 5s ahead and looking good. So of course, I then somehow span the car under braking on the pit approach lol. 5s gap now...0s gap.

There wasn't much time left after that and I just had to hope Sandeep didn't get close enough to draft by on the straight, which luckily he didn't quite manage. Great race, really good fun.

I had a good quali, and good start to race hassling Dennis. then it went tits up, spun the car almost every lap for 3 or 4 laps and was banging into walls.. Also got in others way while i was spinnig.. thought it was pointless as eventually i got lapped. Esc key was my only option to keep from punching something

Sorry for jumping in late and leaving early...

I really enjoy this track.

Had throttle probs on my black Momo, thought it was fixed, jumped in late in qual. Soon as we started I saw my pedal was only giving about 70% of full travel, 130mph on the front straight. No use racing that way.

Guess I need a G25.

Cruising to a 9th place finish, too slow for the front group and fast enough to keep the rest of the pack at bay. Second pit stop and not enough fuel for final lap, so needed another stop. Didn't get info to pit crew to not change tires so it was a looong splash and go. I used the Spotter utility to calculate fuel and it has been very accurate up to this point plus I always add a little for safety besides the 10% the spotter calculates.
Also had trouble yesterday in GTR2, the pit crew skipped my first pit stop strategy and went with a short fill which is my second strategy. I think Barrett had the same problem. That's what happens when you use the same pit crew. I told Barrett that threatening them with bodily harm, might work against us.
