Alfa Street Challenge

I am so gutted, I give up with racing online. I'm getting disconnected and screen lock ups to much and its ruining my rank. I was really happy to qual 6th in another new car to me. Is this car a race or rally car? LOL. I think some dirt and grass would suit the handling style!!!

I was even more happier during the race, running as high as 3rd. Knew I wouldn't keep it, was to slow through some of the fast corners, but I knew I could maintain 4th and thats where I thought I would finish until everyone vanished along with my internet connection. It took about 30mins for it to come back on and I wasn't happy. I am seriously losing interest now.

Anyways, congrats To Jeff, Sanio and Liam, great racing guys.

I think I might need to refine my driving style for the Alfa GT-R. I was going through a set of tyres in only 3 or 4 laps!

Anyway, it was a fun race and I don't think I impeded any of the faster drivers too much.

Congratulations to Jeff, Sanio and Liam. You guys were really flying!

Pretty poor race for me.

I grabbed pole by 2 tenths, but I knew my starts weren't up to scratch as I just couldnt get the clutch point right, so I got bogged down and dropped back in the field. At one point I had a driver barge me off track, ruining my line into the last few corners and causing me to drop a rear wheel on the grass just before the corner, driving me into the tyres and dropping to about 5th. Nice driving mate, can't wait to meet you on track again! :|

Then I got some tricky guys to pass (reluctant to say the least) and some aggressive; controlled driving got me back up to 3rd with a great last lap battle for 2nd with Sanio. Couple of taps here and there but it's touring cars and it happens :)

Any idea what you had your tyre pressures at Jon?

well.

Did not Q because i did not know why drivers start in this rFactor series.

And i am happy for that, going from last to 11 position only
because off other bad driving.

after that i was getting same good racing where i overtook same cars.
the sad thing was i got puntet after the long straight. The driver took his DT but he gained around 10 second on me even with is penalty done. How fair is that?

then the car in front started to lagg. from my veiw it looked that the car was going sideways down the straight, hitting the wall or going outsidfe off turn. this made it inpossible to make a pass because i had no ide where the car was. And this sim shall be better then RACE07 regards
internet play?????
after same laps he made a mistake which i gained one posistion.

sorry to hear about your problems Kenny. Dont give up :)

Hi Liam,

I had 150 in both front tyres and 160 in the rear tyres. It was only the front that went off and were reaching temperatures of 120 deg C.

I'm guessing you're on metric measures...kPA?

120 is hot...you might have to try turning in a little smoother and using less steering lock to get through the corners. Although it can make you a little slower on laptimes, they'll come back up soon.

As Alain Prost did, he never turned the wheel more than needed.
