Thats why raceclub is the best. Battles from top to bottom. You having more fin as you have improved so now finding peolle to compete with. Shame about the incident but it happens. I qualified P5 for the sprint race and by end of lap one took someone out near front of field and basically wrecked both our races. Just got to keep going. You do good mate i actually wait for your vids 😂

That lap or so worth of battling with Johnny and Mark was the highlight of my season! Getting a glimpse into how fun it can be! Sorry you also had a bump but glad to hear you pressed on and that look forward to my highlight videos each round - it really makes it worthwhile. Im targeting COTA in 2 weeks for a step up, going to try to do some more structured practice in the hope of getting a good one out of the 2 35min races 🤞

Great pace mate getting into the 1.31’s my only advice for this track is if you overshoot the last two corners don’t then try and rejoin for the last corner that when your more likely to hit someone. Just go straight over the gravel and rejoin on the start/finish straight . 👍🏻

Your fault. He went wide and you cornered tight. You then went for trying to shut the door on him, but ended up slamming both your feet in the door way. While yeah, His turn was bad, you ignored (or didn't see) his vehicles position and stayed tunnel visioned on your preferred line. You should have went from aggressive to defensive to reduce impact intensity and get both of you out of the corner smoother. Rubbings racing, but crashing is DNF.

I would say so as you could have lifted off a little more to give him room and still have a better exit to pass him before the next corner. My opinion bro and keep it up man, we all just human 👍 After watching it a few more times, I’ve noticed just as your about to pass him it looks like he might just turn right into you but not 100% on that one. Let me know what you think. Just watch him closely

@richardhall1243Ай бұрын
Keep chipping away at it mate. My bit of advice for race 1 Need to start wet races on wet tyres. Wet tyres want to be around 30psi after a lap or two. Turn your tc up in the rain to give you a chance of controlling the car. Race 2 Again turn tc up to help you while your learning. Turn automatic pit limiter on if it’s not on. Practice pit entries for each track so you know where the pit entry is so you slow down enough and don’t keep getting penalties. Also I would also watch a few times you turning it on a corner when there’s a car right behind you and there looking to undertake you. Could cause an unwanted accident.

@yorkshire_mickАй бұрын
Love following this, huge improvements and great to see you starting to find battles. On pit entry even though you have auto limiter you need to be at the correct speed still as you go into the pit. It's better to be safe at pit entry and a little slower than get speeding penalties. Dries will sort that out for you. He is part of the endurance team so is used to lots of pits and will give you all the tips. But yes that was why you kept getting penalty as you was expecting it to auto slow your car in pit. Limiter only works when in 1st and already under the speed limit it won't automatically drop down speed for you. This is a sim not F1 😉 Huge shame about the pits as other than that it was great. I also started out lane with you. Again sometimes tracks like this it's sometimes not an issue. I purposely wanted to start from back (not necessarily out but had to quickly do a pink car for Pedro which is totally worth the pit stop start) often I'm in the mid pack at start of races and get frustrated been taken out. As you saw here we went out from outside and within a couple of laps we had gained places 😊 Pace was good and you almost did 30min before first major incident. That's almost a full sprint race. Not sure where we are next week but gotta be better than this track. This is one of hardest tracks on game so you did well. I look forward to next week's 😁
@SpikeHartGTАй бұрын
Thanks Mick, glad you're enjoying following the progress so far! Definitely misunderstanding the role of the automatic pit limiter and will look to improve there. Glad I had company in the pit lane at the start and was really glad to be able to get back into the thick of it, to a degree, after the first few laps! I didn't reflect on the fact I went nearly 30 minutes without an incident which is great news when it comes to shorter sprint events, I may actually make it to the end without incident! Looking forward to next week!
