[COMPLETE] ROOZ Assetto Corsa Season 6 - THE GAMESMEN CUP

Thanks guys. I really enjoyed both races. I'm really sorry @RobA , during the first lap of the second race in the last 2 corner there was a bit of confusion and I bumped him on the way back in the track but I was sliding on the grass.
The rest of the race was a bit like go up the hill, but was really fun.
Cheers

With 40kg Ballast i couldn't get the car to take off out of the hairpin and was a easy pass for the guys behind me. 1st time i have ran this amount of ballast as well, normally 10kg last season.
1.03.8 was the best lap i could master for the night ?? even though i got to the 1.03.2 in practice.
Race 1 was pretty good and towards the end having to keep @Driftoz off my bum, but he managed to catch the grass and i held out for 6th.

Race 2 was pretty much the same as 1, a few guys came together at the last turn and for a few laps i was in 2nd but the faster guys came through without a fight from me and thus i finished 6th.

Symmons plains made it hard to catch up to the car in front especially if you went off at the last turn. But neverless onto the next round. Well done to Loris, Mael, Pete C and Double Vision on wins and Podiums over the 2 races

Big Apologies to Rob C, i our braked my self coming into the last set of left handers, almost taking Mael out, hitting the inside curb and spinning unfortunately as the leaders came past i was in the path of them, and i hit Rob dropping him from 3rd back to 5th. 54ved and I swapped last place a few times due to him making errors and me catching up, but he got me in the end

2nd race i had it much better for the 1st 5 laps up mixing it with cars, when u not used to close racing like that it gets a bit nervy and i out braked myself in the hair pin and let the last 4 cars past me easily, after that i just circulated last till she was finished.

I just cant lap consistently average laps time around the 1m07-08sec but would pull out the occasional 1m04-05 sec lap, and on such a small track those extra few seconds per lap just pushes you way back. its lucky i love sim racing.

Tough racing!

Race 1 got a solid start running 3rd most of the time till Rob A made a small mistake allowing me to get pass him. Loris was miles ahead and going too quickly to catch so just worked hard to finish 2nd.

Race 2 was a mess. Got loose on lap 1 last turn causing Pete (I think) to touch the rear of my car. That caused me to spun out and led to Loris joining me on the grass.

Has mild damage which soon became significant damage as I overdrove the car in a attempt to catch up. Luckily @DarrenO had a bad last few laps allowing me to finish 5th.

Fun though

Good race yesterday. Using my modified 2 eleven setup on the exige 240 paid off.

Next week for sachsenring, that 50kg ballast is going to suck hard with the increased tyre wear setting. oh wells.

@Mael I didn't have a few bad laps, i just tried to hide me allowing you to go past .
Yeah just tried to hard to keep in front of you, but you were def faster.

I've turned some laps at Sachsenring and its a really good track, those with Ballast no doubt will struggle... or not. The 2nd last turn catches you out, sort of sucks you in then it turns in on you, there are lines to be taken to make up time.

i hate sachsenring lol i seem to understeer on every corner

Mate be carefull because the tyre marks on the second last are not properly right

It sure does, i made that mistake first off. but if you take a wider entry and come in you can carry some pace through there then the lead up to the last corner. You can either loose or gain time over those last 2 turns if you get it wrong or right.

lol so this is why ive been getting friend requests today

I enjoyed the racing on Monday having finally worked how to make the car turn. I was somewhat surprised to be second on the grid but I think not carrying any ballast was an advantage.

Race 1 was okay until Dave hit me but thats racing, it wasn't deliberate.

Race 2 I screwed up qualifying so started 8th. On the opening lap I hit Loris when he rejoined the track but didn't lose much time. I eventually finished 3rd but really enjoyed trying to get back through the pack. Its great to get a good result but I would swop it any day for a close, hard fought race.

In reply to Hatfield's excellent work here is some additional info, hopefully the calculations are correct!!

you get ballast, you get ballast, everyone gets ballast lol

I finished 6th at round 2. 20 kg is that correct ?
