Hi all, next one on the calendar is ... Aston cadet with the XRT. It is a short track and so we will have 45 laps. Racers who oversteer to much will not be able to cool the tyres down enough.. Will be not such a difficult race to complete but the winner will be the one to keep the tyres to the end. Cu all on track !! Hanziboy www.liveforspeed.be - www.belsimracing.be

Keeping the tires cool is the problem I'm having. If I try to drive fast like you guys it heats up the tires. But I shouldn't have to worry about breaking, flipping, or otherwise hurting the car too much.

I don't think I'll be back home by 8:30 tonight. (going to celebrate my brother's birthday), so I probably won't make it to the test race, if there is one. If I'm home I'll join of course.

Hi all,
there were not a lot of racers to test tonight .. But it was fun. I had some things to test.. 1. Do the Tyres hold? 2. Can I finish ? 3. At point do the tyres stop building up heat. 4. Taking fuel for full race distance or just 1/2 distance.
1. My tyres did hold..But often I had a full Red surface on the right front tyre. Then I've taked it more easy for a few laps to cool them down..But Xtian was playing with me (I was 2nd). He slowed down so we stayed in a close persuit with each other. Of course in such moments you do not take care of your tyres a lot and very soon ther were red again. Xtian his tyres were beautifull green because he was more occupied waiting for me then goiing to the limit himself. But of course we had some nice close moment. Otherwise this would be a more boring race. But the tyres hold for the full 45 laps.
2.Yes I can finish !!
3. After lap 35 the tyre problesm are over. And the come to a normal working green temperature.
4. I took fuel for the 45 laps from the start. This means earlier braking and less acceleration but not much..Just ice driving in the beginning with the larger load and cold tyres.
Cu all on track !!

I have personally witnessed members having unacceptable attitude like fooling around, waiting for other car to get some action or even stopping just before the finish line !!

What was the result of sundays testrace? (time?) Thanks J. That would give an average laptime somewhere in the high 1:02 region, not counting the first lap and subtracting 30 seconds for pitstop. Not bad.

I just did a full test race on the server too. It went pretty well! One set of tyres was fine. The tyres were green all the way (see the picture). And they were less than 60% worn by the time I crossed the finish line. Just got to be careful with the oversteer! Here is the set I used if someone would like to try it. I think camber should be reduced a little on the left wheels, but it's not a big deal.

Hi all, I Had a good close race !! Pushed the wrong button in all the admin commands and came offline. So i started as last. But as fair pilots do.. They all let me pass first at the start so I could start the race at my qualify place ..Thank you all again.. This says a lot about the high quality of racers we are lucky to drive with !! We are still not with enough racers I think but a rather have the ones we have now then more that ar fooling arround. During the first laps I could gain place on OLD_Mumhra and got side by side on the chicane downhill.. There I decided not to take the risk and hitted the brakes hard.. Then I was driving around just behind him waiting for him to make a mistake.. But Xtian did who drove just before us. But nothing changed..Then OLD_Mumhra was goiing to lap a slower car so he decided not to let him slow down by that situation and takes his pitstop (I think that was his tought) I made some mistakes and my tyres were building up to much heat.. so I had to go for some slower laps.. And by the time I had to pit OLD_Mumhra was almost back at my tail..I came out just in front of Jyuetsch but could stay in front of him untill the end.. Toke no risks in the last ones so he came back to me.. But so I could end 4th .. And I think my very first race without spinning out !!!! Again thank you all for this nice race. Can't wait to view the replay later on!! I hope no one crossed the yellow lines on the pit exit ;D Cu all on track !! Hanziboy
