How many events can one man hold? You're a machine!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AUDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be publishing the specs etc for this after the BTCC.
Opel haters are mean people...
That's no fun I miss my Opel and this would be awesome. Looks like I need to go to the show room and get a new car. Think I will have the Audi
Ok OK the Opel is in.
Let me look at the specs of all 3 cars tommorrow then will post.
The race will be a 50 min Endro BTW
Yay the Opel is in :)
this will be fun but only 50 seems shot for an enduro lol going to love it either way
Ok Semi-Endro lol
I'd like to get in on this one as well.... I wonder if my hands can hold up for a full hour race, lol!
JDRT will join this event with following drivers:
Church
FlukierRabbit63
Stevie
Jorm
SIM
JDANKERT
Should be fun!
OP Updated with full rules and car builds!
Depending on the RIM's you choose will affect the PI.
The Highest PI you can get in the cars are the ones posted above as I used the lightest wheels possible.
TBH the wheels don't really make any difference at all
Pretty sure total race lenght will be somewhere around 75 minutes at the front of the pack considering 4 pit stops & lap times somewhere around 1.35.
Damn time Calculator.
The race length will be 35 laps not 45!
Any reference times from "slow guys"? I am in clean 1.41.xxx and I want to try any Audi #4 tune you have. Mine is either too slow or too agressive.
Jdan I am using the Opel and my fastest is 1:37.094 I can look at your tune if you want. And to all racers tonight I will be hosting practice laps set up as 3 lap bursts every 15 minutes from 15:00GMT so you can race and then leave make adjustments and come back by the next segment.
1:40. audi
1.39.5 astra
1.39.5 merc
Best of luck to you guys.
Awesome time!
I really liked the 4 pit stop and open pit window. Really added a lot of strategy to the game
Who finished in the top three?
KC, Me, Max
Great race!
Pit strategy played into this. Very close at the end.
I might do the same pit stops for the V8's
Hey guys,
this race proved, that:
- I am not able to talk during racing.
- I hardly can concentrate following your conversations.
- I am slow.
Some infos: Hockenheim is in Germany, in South Germany, not far away from Mannheim and yes, I love that track too.
I made my personal best time during the race, but ................... the first three overtook me two times. Sh....I am 5 seconds behind.
I followed Max advice from some weeks ago and drove with TCS, but .... no improvement. After lap 25 I totally lost my rythm due to massive back problems, which occur yesterday. Now, in my real life free time, my body reacts to the stress from the weeks before. Aaargh! But I did not give up!
I used a tune, which I had developed with that tune calculator from slave munky. I am learning, but .... like "how to race" ..... slow for "how to tune".
No excuses. It was bad driving form me tonite.
As team boss I am satisfied. Church and Stevie raced great! SIM had to leave and I will send him a message, in which I explain our offers (cars, money, tunes, etc.).
@Max: Is there really a problem with the cloud? Should everybody save his cars on harddisk?
@HLR King Cobra: If you really want to join a "top team" - a team with joy, desire, respect - than you will have to "ask" for a JDR-contract, but I think you would like to be a privateer. Sure you can join MPR, they need your help, but such a decision and step from you, won't have any advantages for you. We - JDR - are on our way to built up the top racing team for FM4, FM5, GT6 and rFactor.
Any jokes and funny comments about JDR and this team challenge are heard, read and welcome. Even if I am taking it too serious and even if I have too much time for this (blog, contracts, fotos,...), it is all about fun! And by the way: I miss Grim and GGGM.
I was 8 from 8, but ....... I made it. I did not quit. And - thanks for your nice comments! - I will leave the middle field and reach alien times. The question is in which year?
See you,
JDANKERT
The chatter was a bit up tonight sorry about that.
Nice write up though chap!
@JDan All the people i know that have saved to the cloud lost everything, and i mean everything, credits, cars etc
