Ho well, what can i say about tonight's race... One bad luck

and one good luck

I WON !

I did the pole, and the top 3 were so close. At start i went from 1st to 2nd and i was stuck behind Mercury and having Hitman pushing in my ass and Brad smelling Hitman ass. It was fun following in front. Brad manage to get over Hitman and then it was my turn. Brad tried to overtake me and i manage to keep inside but 3-4 turn later, we were side by side, and i didnt want to let him easy, but he got me. That was fun. In S Brad made a mistake and i was in his ass, instead of keeping my rythm, i push and lost front wing. I put 35 liter of fuel to skip 1 stop, that was heavy, i even had Xzwins at 2 sec behind (wow you were flying tonight). From there i was 5th. After that, it was nightmare in front, Merc had problem, Brad, Kaali went DNF. from 3/4 of race, i was + 46 sec behind Hitman, then i started to save my brakes. But sudenly, Hitman was gone, dam i felt bad for you Hitman, that race was in your pocket. But you blew your engine, oups!

Congratulation for majority, was a nice fun race.

Well, that was a fun race even if I only made half of it. I started 6th but was dead last after T1 due to being hit (part of my fault). Had some fun catching up and battling with by Koma, Steve and Xz up to my first pit on lap 20. On lap 24, I did a mistake and lost my front wing. On my (slow) way to the pits, I decide to go for it all and fill the tank to the max (24 laps completed + 35 laps of fuel = 59 laps but I was already a lap down at that point so it looked good). After a lap or two of adapting to the extra heavy car, I found it surprisingly good given the weight.

Unfortunately, on lap 30, my engine blew up in smoke with no warning...

Anyways, the battles to get past Steve and Xz were fun enough that I'm still pleased of my evening even if there were no points for me. Spain, here we come!

Hello Guys
I don't get it but oh well
I never blew an engine and this game do's not signal any problems
That sucks IMO

I was haveing agreat race I battled with Flow and Merc I battled with Brad
I even had a little battled with Kalli.
Then I found my self very far in front and all alone so I backed off and was crusing to a win (Well I thought) and the car was running like a clock the setup was IMO perfect I had done Telem work plenty of laps (Dam I did 45 hard laps just to test the tires and brakes.) I nevr got any indecation. Dam cheep BMW Motor I guess I drove the Bitch in to the ground.

Ok done crying
Congrates Flow for your win and for taking back the Championship run.

i had been doing alot of testing on radiator size 2 and got upto 55 laps, but for race i got scared and put it back on 3 as i always use.
right after pitstop is very risky i saw a few times. i do have an option activated in plr that shows me more than just flags.

Display Icons="2" // Icons displayed if HUD is off: 0 = none, 1 = flags only, 2 = all

showing overheating enigine sign and wheter the pitcrew is still waiting for you and stuff.

hope this helps to prevent tears for upcoming races

Also Hitman, take a look at the info about Heat temp of engine, put your rad at 1 and make 3-4 laps untill it blows. I think its around 140... not shure.

What was your rad size Hitman? But your gearing and rev can make difference.

Hello Guys

Kalli I use full Icons also (The over heating engine icon never came up.

Flow my Radaitor was on 2 and I have had it that way for many races and never lost a engine. There was a few laps that I really pushed but that was in about the first 25 laps after my 1st pit stop I was able to push but not over do it.
I would tell you my gear situation but then I would have to kill you. JK:lol: It is a secret the way I set them.

But I do not over rev I can say that I stay in the yelows hardly ever wait to see a red rev light.

Later today I am ging to go thru the telemetry maybe there is something there.

Flow · Post by **Flow** » 09 May 2006, 01:58

Hitman, watch the engine temperature, it blows somewhere around 140. I tie to kepp it around 120 and i have no problem, but i never use rad under 3.
