Congrats Bluebird on the win! d**n.. what an annoying race. :/ I qualified second, and all was good. I thought. When we started on lag lap, I realised that I was running with "single player graphics" (16x AF, 8xAA), which made the game stutter a lot when there were many racers on the grid. So after lag lap I minimized LFS and quickly adjusted the graphics. It can't have taken more than 10 seconds. But when I maximised the LFS window the cars were already on the starting grid. Before I realised it I had released my foot off the clutch, so my car jumped and I got a false start. It also screwed up my start. (I'm sorry about that, to whoever it was that started behind me So I served my stop-and-go penalty on the next lap and exited pits 30 seconds behind the lead. That gap stayed almost constant the whole race through. I was able to work my way from 7th to 3rd, though. So all in all a very good finishing position, but it didn't feel like I earned it. :/ In retrospect I should have kept driving to get some close racing for most of the race before serving my stop-and-go penalty. Now it was more like 30 hotlaps. :lol: Anyway, it felt good out there today. And after the race we had a quick session with UFR on SO6, which is the upcoming combo. I've never driven that car before, but it was really cool! I think next race will be a blast. I just hope I can make it.. my exam season starts up right about then, so I might have some truoble fitting it on my schedule. I'll try my best, though. So: thanks for the race tonight, and COME COME to the next race!!

Hello,
I really looked forward to fighting gnomie at the race too. But good for my ego from 4th to 1st in 100 meters ;D
But i don' t think it is legal to drive 20 laps with a stop-go for false start. Admin? help? I' m glad you did made your stop-go in L2
After that i had to fight early in race to defend my position. Af teh final stage i had to keep doing good laps because Dustin was going fast in the last 5-10 laps of the race.
I' m looking forward to next race, i hope more racers will join!

I' m glad you did made your stop-go in L2 Indeed : Rule 8.4 Sanctions for a to fast drive in the pit lane, such as, drive through or stop and go, are taken at the first next pass.. And as such this is a rule for all penalties !! Was indeed a nice race !!! Thank you all for beiing there !! The provisional results (have not checked the replay yet : Qual : 1. Dustin Luckenbill 2. Gnomie 3. Jyuetsch 4. Bluebird 5. Hanziboy 6. SLO_Scatter 7. SLO_Knuckles Race : 1. Bleubird (highest climber) 2. Dustin Luckenbill (Fastest Lap) 3. Gnomie 4. Hanziboy 5. Jyuetsch 6. SLO_Scatter 7. SLO_Knuckles

I suspected that this was the rule, so I "instinctively" pulled in on the second lap. But different leagues have different rules, so I wasn't 100% sure. Better safe than sorry. I was looking forward to a nice, long fight too. I would so much have liked to be up there fighting you guys. Looked like there was a nice struggle going on for quite a while in the top three.

Hello Hanzi, please check the standings on www.belsimracing.be again. It would be nice, but I cant get 10 points for my miserable 5th place J. And you were right.. jump from race result to qualif result and back to race result. Page changed. Also reduced Gnomie from 15 - > 10 points. But the end result did not change : 1. Jyuetsch 106 points 2. Bluebird 96 points 3. Gnomie 79 points Still 4 races to come. And next one will be difficult to end it without pit stop... Not a tyre issue but a "not hitting the wall issue"

Or ending your race early by ending up on your top. But those 5 lap test races we did last Sunday gave me a feel for the car. The UFR is pretty fun to drive, seems to have good power and handling. It's a little top heavy, but that's to be expected. Should be a fun race practice Sunday, I hope a bunch of people show up.

The car is absolutly topheavy, In T1 i often find myself riding on two wheels gliding into the barrier ;D

Very top heavy indeed. In the testing last sunday I had most problems in T2 (the right hander after the long straight over the bridge).
The car felt fast and good, but also very weird.. how is it possible to have such good grip on a car with no downforce?? I know it has very good anti rollbars and such, but it still feels a little odd.. I think one can push really hard in this car

It is not that fast, fbm is faster on so chicane. But it feels fast because last race we all drove the fz5-leopart II tank for at least a few laps
