I got a manual shifter this week, and this was the first race with it. I really like it. Tons of fun, and shifts feel crisper. Since I can't heel-and-toe, I wanted to be in the right gear well before each corner. Because of this, and also skipping all the in-between-gears on downshifting, with a necessary blip, racing with a stick turned out to be as easy, if not easier, than with the flappy pedals.
Race 1: was fun, I was in a pack with NRTH, Stewart and LC_Stunts, who spectacularly powerslides out of most turns. I was able to put in solid laps and came 10th. The first turns Urlauber and Stephen GCosens and Offcorsa (right before an incident) First race of Stunts Stephen Hill doing everything to fend off the midpack. Race 2: Pace was good, but got tapped in t2 of l1 unfortunately by GCosens, which spun me sideways. However, luckily I didn't get to spin all the way because his teammate Stewart tapped me straight again. Good teamwork. Then a while later, I unfortunately lightly tapped Stewart which caused him to spin. Unfortunately, my teammate Iovenitti was just a bit too far away to fix this in a similar fashion To make it worse, I didn't look around well enough so as I went to the side to wait, I also took out GCosens in this process... Sorry team Rev'it... As it happens, by pure coincide, I was wearing a Rev'it shirt while all this happened, hope that makes up for it. Finished 14th. OldEarl leading the Porsches Me not so gracefully moving to the side. My Rev'it shirt. Race 3: This race was mostly Stewart and me swapping positions, which was fun. Other than that it was uneventful. Some crashes got me from 14th to 9th. Mr. Urlauber, Sleepwalker in their laps long door-to-door battle, with B1gPappa following closely. Thatdanield crossing the line for his (first?) podium. edit: for the full res versions of these pics: right mouse click and open in new tab. This works for all previous pics too.

I love seeing your photos after the race, amazing work as always Johnnie.
That said, if you continue to sabotage our team, regardless of whether you're wearing a shirt by our sponsor or not, I will find out where you live... Good races for me this week, but another instance of bad luck (this time a large frame stutter in heat 3, turn 1), had me spin out. I ended up finishing 6th that race and considering the spin, I was really happy with that. My main take away from this Sunday though is the use of the shifter. Ed would no longer just drive away from me and the speed difference between the RUF and Supra wasn't nearly as pronounced. Despite making a shifting error in race 1, I was actually able to just keep with Ed this time, so that's a huge positive for me. If I can get used to using the shifter, I hope to be able to bridge the gap in later races this series. Big congrats to Thatdanield on the podium in race 3, but also the 7th and 5th place finishes in race 1 and 2!

Sven, thanks for pointing out the Dunglish.

Great pictures johnnie! but where's all the green gone?
Race went well today. Qualifying was just about keeping it clean, but I managed to get a great lap in. Heat 2 put in a great couple laps after the beginning to catch pappa, but I ran wide t1 and lost him, while allowing sven to get ahead. We had a great battle! I got past with a good cutback at t2. The next lap I think, Sven managed to get to the outside through t3 and 4, I tried to cover for t5 but he had the inside. We were side by side from there til the final corner where he made the pass on the outside! Great driving I then made a mistake, ran wide t3, but kept 3rd. Heat 3 was the god of starts XD went from 6th to 2nd by the first corner. Managed to get the lead and Sven had got up to 2nd. He was really pushing, putting in some great times, so I really focused and managed to keep the gap. gr!

Excellent photography!
I can’t decide if I like that track or not. Or if I like it but just not very good at it. Qualified not that good and was dead cautious on t1 and t2 of h1. Had a good race and finished 10th I think. H2. Crap start and cautious t1. T2 JD needed a bit of help pointing in the right direction so would have been rude just to leave him in the middle of the road : o ) Was having a good race with Earl until we caught a troubled Stephen, which backed people up and as JD said ended up in a small tap. I must of over corrected as I went flying in the opposite direction. Doh! Got going again but then caught Stephen up again, he was glitching and teleporting, think we touched, got away with it but then on the second left hand sweeper ran into the back of him which sent me off. Finish 15th. H3 was good. Think I got to 9th at one point. Made a mistake that allowed JD to pass and get away, then my wheel started coming of the desk when I was trying to hold off grant and one of the pigs. Didn’t want to cause any accidents so had to easy off and let them go to take it easy so it didn’t come all the way off. Overall, good racing, mediocre result. : o )

I feel like I've set something up wrong though, as all the car liverys were either plain silver or plain red to me, not sure why that happened

Installed the skin pack ?
08 February 2021, 21:54
Yep, for everybody ;-)
The easiest way, is to install the whole package in one time.
08 February 2021, 22:16
Ahhh I see, that makes sense! Ok I will get it installed! Thank you!
