AMS2 LMDh / GT3 @ Road America, Thursday 18th January

[The Almighty Snark]

Yep will definitely have a looksy. Not sure what is going on, VR didn't have that issue before, could have been a track specific issue as well.

 

[SwannyUK]

Are there any mappings for indicators? If not I'll do the usual of staying on the racing line unless safe to move over for the faster cars.

Hopefully I can join. Motherboard had been fixed. Depending how quick I can rebuild the whole thing I will join.

I don't think so. I just quickly looked through the control mappings and I could not see anything.

I didn't get time to pop on with the GT3 and see if it can do the whole stint on one tank. I don't want to change anything at this stage anyway, but I was wondering if someone had already worked it out?

I was going to work it out in practice

I calculated about 28 laps for the whole race at my pace. 30 laps of fuel just in case. I was planning on doing one stop and didn’t check if a full tank would last the whole race.

I can't make it peeps down with Flu

@SwannyUK Sorry for my mistake and that i took you with me

 

[Rich Green]

Cheers guys. See what next week brings.

No worries buddy, you would have won either way not having to pit. Great pace, was really close.

Nice race despite that fault in the 2nd last corner on lap 5 i guess.
Had some understeer afterwards and needed some laps to get used to it.
The fuel was tight at the end but it was enough..... 0,3l on the line...
Thank you all!

These GT3 Gen2 cars are nice to drive. I have a better feel than in ACC.

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Great race everyone! Had a lot of laps following @The Almighty Snark . Could not catch you @SwannyUK - seemed to only keep up with you in the earlier stint so I guess it was because you had aero damage

Well that was a tought one. Quali didn't go well, never got a really good lap in but luckily was enough. Had tried the time trial the last days and maybe my tire settings were off or the track was just much more splippery.
Race started off nice though @Oliver Bunz (you're the one named AFreak in game right?) always put some pressure on. Just when I had a bit of a gap I lost focus and spun, completely stupid move
Just managed to stay ahead and had to pull another gap. Olîver pitted much ealier which I thought was an undercut attempt and that nearly worked as I ballsed some of the next laps and also miscalculated fual and took way too much. With some ERS usage I managed to come out just ahead which I guess was very important. Had the tire adavantage from then on and finally could open and keep a comfortable gap.

Apologies to @Rich Green, checked to replay, not sure if it was my fault but definately didn't want to scare you off track there. Looked like you left the door open so I went for it. Sorry if that was on me. Usually I'm the one in the slower class car so still trying to get used to the other side.

I'll post next Thursday later today, but just wanted to also do a quick plug for the race next Tuesday: https://www.racedepartment.com/thre...4-beunos-aires-8-tuesday-23rd-january.267761/

The car is wonderfly lively, but still very drivable. It's probably more fun if you like using your left foot for something other than braking and taking your hand off the wheel to change gear though

Next Thursday is now up!

I intended to leave the door open, but slid off track due to a running out of skill. Multi-class takes a bit getting used to, and we were all in the same boat. I didn’t think anything of it and carried on, but thanks for clarifying your side of it.
