A race marked by the dominance of BarryTrotter and constant battles between Whatshisname and MinDer K, where the mid field had its fair share of side by side racing as well! Final lap, the cars of Team Jake and Dark Wolf battling for 6th to 10th position Last lap, whatshisname and MinDer side by side (finished within a second on the first heat as well) Whats in third ahead of Sven, Offcorsa middle, with Eldoro, s0ul01 and Angeln1ck (BMW, top left) in pursuit <div style="position: relative;width: 100%;height: 0;padding-bottom: 56.25%;"> <iframe style="position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;width: 100%;height: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ov2GRkGdGYk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> More highlights coming up, promise Again a different driver and a different car on pole! After Angeln1ck, BarryTrotter8 and Whatshisname preceded him, S0ul01 continues to step up his Team Jake role. s0ul01 leading into turn 1 with MinDer K (left RX-7) and Sven in pursuit. s0ul01 in a close battle with again MinDer K and Sven, whose last corner collision would give s0ul01 the heat win mr_urlauber getting air time and losing a position in the process after MinDer K spins Sven on the last corner of the final lap Whats (#420) spinning on the final lap, allowing OldEarl (#23) and Angeln1ck an easy pass <div style="position: relative;width: 100%;height: 0;padding-bottom: 56.25%;"> <iframe style="position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;width: 100%;height: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GfBpzwNnbvE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> If you have an account at the official forum, please rate up our thread a bit if you appreciate these series.. (3 stars looks a bit suspicious) http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index....318/page-3 Hi Offcorsa, a bit of an unlucky series for you so far being involved in lots of accidents, what's going wrong? Yes, I've not had the best of luck lately. that combined with a few more than usual mistakes on my part have left me a little lower in the standings than I would like. It's a good thing Soul01 has been having such a good run, to keep the smurf train within reach. I did have some good luck to end up with two great teammates. we'll be doing our best to outrun the blue cars! ..and outrunning starts with a good launch. How much do you think the Skyline's launch has helped so far? It is pretty great being able to gain a couple places at the start, that skyline is pretty heavy so I usually give a place back at the first corner being careful not to contact anyone. The grip out of the corners is pretty good though, once you get used to that 'slow in fast out' driving style some good lap times are possible. Earlier braking is somewhat problematic for the poor fellow behind however. Last season you were the surprise package of the Am group, this time it's up to BarryTrotter and your teammate s0ul01. Is there a hierarchy within the team, and how do you look at these surprises in general and their influence on the team standings? I am quite pleased with the performance sOul01 has shown. It seems he's pulling the rest of the team along. Sometimes, on some tracks, I can out run him but it isn't easy work. No hierarchy, just teammates. all of us run as hard as we can, and try to avoid the cardinal sin of taking each other out. Earl has made some fantastic points to keep us in it when needed most. If we do happen to leave the blue alfas in smurf-ville it will definitely have been a team effort. Lastly, how big are those chances? Are 11 points ahead, with two races to go, enough? No way is 11 points going to be enough. We have to push to get maximum out of the last couple events. Hopefully our form as of late will hold and we come out on top. Hammertime! Hi Urlauber, going pretty strong in the team standings, but the question on people's mind will likely be where the logo on the car is coming from? A good and important question! The answer has nothing to do with racing though. It is my favourite Mudoken from Oddworld (video game series from the 90ies), a resiliant hero with a lot of heart! Another resilient hero for you might be BarryTrotter, who's been crucial for you guys to compete for the team title. What can you say about his performances? There's nothing to say, just look at his laptimes, just look at'em... simply alien smurf! We are very happy and proud to have him racing for our team! On the other side, Eldoro hasn't made the last two races, and again looks absent for tonight's race. Any word from him? His attendance seems to be crucial for taking the last few points to win. Last time we spoke on the phone I could hear waves and hawaiian ukeleles in the background, I wonder if that has anything to do about it... And about those last few points. How likely is it you'll be taking the title from Team Jake, 11 points behind, with a driver less to secure solid points? Can Barry and yourself still do it? I'm pretty sure Barry will be found at the top somewhere. I think it will be a close chase and hopefully a very exciting final next week! |
