Yes it must be Arnis punctures you are mentioning, but I lost a lot on the final puncture.
In the last safetycar period I wanted to go to pit, because I could see and feel that the tyres were going to puncture, but I didn´t know, if I would loose position on that, so I stayed out. Maybe it was a wrong decision, because Laas, who overtook us, when the Sc period was over gained halp a lap on us under the Sc period. Maybe it had been enough time to get out of the pit again and defend the 2nd position. But it would have been difficult anyway, because Laas car had a agressive gearing and therefore were faster under acceleration and we had a heavy gearing. It is quite easy to see and hear on replay, when the green flag came. He overtook 3 cars right away
This agreesive type of gearing was good under starts and green flag situations. And there were many in this race. This was also good for the FZR´s.
Thank you too for an exciting race!
We were very close in the end, even that we had 3 punctures....the last on the last lap on the race. I really had to drive carefully on the last 2-3 laps, because i couldn´t really control the car anymore, because of the beginning puncture. So 3rd place is a good result under those circumstances.'
Great race from you all, even there were the typical situations with people not respecting the blue flag, but most did.
I have seen more than the 3-4 last turns, where he had controlled the speed more than just before. Before those 3-4 laps, under full course yellow, the speed was going up (more than 80km/h) and down all the time and I think he only controlled the speed with his food in the last turns...and i´ sure it helkp to start pushing without disengaging the speed limiter first.
I just mention this, because, this is important to know exactly what is legal and what is not. I could have defended my position much better, if I knew that it was ok to lift of the speed limiter before the green flag. (but the rules says otherwise). Earlier there were also a Cp car doing the same thing, but i have not yet checked it on replay.
Something must be done, We lost 2nd position under the last SC period to a car who hadn´ engaged speedlimiter under the last full course yellow at all. When the green flag came, he could faster than us hit the gas pedal and overtake 3 cars right away.
"4) Races are started behind a safety car, driven at pit limiter speed, in single file. All drivers must use their pit limiters on the rolling starts, and must leave a gap of at least one (1) car-length to the car ahead. When the pole car reaches the final corner, the marshals will throw the green flag. Once the green flag has been displayed, drivers may release the pit speed limiter and accelerate carefully.
6) When the SC is deployed, the track is under a full-course yellow condition. As such, you are to cease racing for position, fall in line, and gently lower speed until you catch up to the leaders. Once drivers have caught the pack and slowed to SC speed, they must engage the pit limiter."
There were some cars driving witout pitlimiter under full course yellow, which I think helped to faster overtake when the green flag was given..meaning giving positions
True! It´s just an open preparation for the IGTC race arranged by Unity, so teams can test their machines and technique before the race I an not trying to misuse your name. Does it look like that?
Ps, I tried to write UNITY in front of TEST RACE in the headline, but there is a bug in the forum, which doesn´t let me edit it. But anyway, it´s written in here in the headline.
pheww, that was close ...but is it possible to confirm the teams, if they really are going to come? Could be nice to have cleared out in good time, for us who really want to come.
1st place: Fusion 2nd place:Unity 3rd place: Noobs 4th place: Apex100 The rest is DNF´s, which got one point more than the last finished position (edited rule)
Thanks for racing. You did it well. Remember next time to check the first post for password . (I have deleted it again after the race.) Points will be up soon!
Speedway,
I suggest that you come into the privateer team Apex100, which is especially made for people with no teams. It´s because it´s a team competition and when we count points it´s best this way.
