[Alfa Fan]

KWS Racing have confirmed that their driver Jonathan McLeod will be running the opening race of the season at Hockenheim. He is looking for a top 20 result.

[jso1985]

enjoy Hockenheim Alfa Fan, cuz we're all gonna be some kilometers away in Nurburgring :p :

anyway I like this track so I'm aiming to stop being the Adrian Sutil of this series!

[Alfa Fan]

lol just realised that!! DTM always starts in Hockenheim though :confused: :confused:

[racer69]

Always does, i just mixed up the calendar from the last two series though, for no reason other than to be different :)

[johnny shell]

damn, that's the first time I've drive - or seen - this track! what a bitch!

I worked my way down to the low 1:06's, but judging by last year's results I still have a ways to go.

I hope I can pull away at the start and don't actually have to RACE any other cars on this track. that would be a bear!

[harvick#1]

I was in the low 1m16's with a default set-up along with lowest tire pressures and compound. so I should be able to pick up alot more

[Alfa Fan]

If you're only in the low 1:16s I might have a chance of not coming last! :D

[I am evil Homer]

Taking the Audi out for a test this weekend after swapping from Opel last season.

[Adam Sloma]

1:04.54 it's my old record. Tomorrow I'll try to improve him.

[johnny shell]

well considering that I got a 1:04.90 last night (50th on codies), and that people were qualifying in the mid-to-high 1:03's here last year, I fully expect you to be in the LOW 1:03's Adam!

now get to work!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

The tyres on the chicane here are a bitch :mad:

[Adam Sloma]

well considering that I got a 1:04.90 last night (50th on codies), and that people were qualifying in the mid-to-high 1:03's here last year, I fully expect you to be in the LOW 1:03's Adam!

now get to work!

1:03.52 so far, but I think that I can a little bit faster ;)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I got a 1:04.0 in the race last year so I hope to get into the 1:03 with soft tyres and maybe even 1:02's with the set-up I found at the media day test session ;)

[harvick#1]

I ran a 1m.04.79 seconds :s but its ahead of J.S.

some corners are a complete pain in the ass, espcially the turn that makes the track the short version.

I've been having some trouble getting through the Chicane

[jso1985]

that chicane... the term "hard tyre" has a new mean to me :s

[maxu05]

Monkeyboy racing is yet to run at this circuit, but will roll out the mighty Vectra tomorrow for some sighting laps and testing. The team is not expecting great results in its rookie year, but a top 10 finish would be a great result at this circuit.

[Peter Vuko]

Took the Merc out for a session - posted a 1m.03.59 - I think there is more in the car - not sure about getting inyo the 2's though!!
Best practice times so far:
1.Sloma... 1m.03.52
2.Vuko.....1m.03.59
3.harvick..1m.04.79
4.Shell.....1m.04.90

[Brown, Jon Brow]

not sure about getting inyo the 2's though!!


You said that about 1:10's at Hockenhiem though ;)

[Adam Sloma]

With reason of technical problems during race (very low fps), I have to withdraw from DTM (and all the other) championships. Besides I have problem with access to internet, and will be absent for some time on forum probably. I hope, that I will get through with these problems quickly.

See you soon.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

That's a shame Sloma

I'm struggling with this track. I can't get the car balanced under braking for the Chicane. My best lap so far is 1:04:00.

[harvick#1]

Since I have been struggled very much with speed and reliability, I've decided to leave the track and go back to the shop and find out whats going on with the car.

with harder tires I was running very slow and decided I am going to run a limited schedule in the series as I also start work on monday again.

I hope for the best for everyone at Nurburgring and I'll be back at the tracks I enjoy :)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I've managed to squeeze a 1:03:56 out of the Merc. I still think that there is more speed in the car.

[real_illusions]

last time i tested i couldn't get near 1:03's. If there is any more speed to be gotten then JB and Vuko are hogging it all..you greedy b*st*rds!!

:p :

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Best practice times so far:
1.Sloma... 1m.03.52*
2.Brown...1m.03.56
3.Vuko.....1m.03.59
4.harvick..1m.04.79*
5.Shell.....1m.04.90

*Sloma and Harvick have withdrawn. (I think :dozey: )

[RaikkonenRules]

Mega confusion while running my race. Accidently ran 13 laps instead of 14 but only realised after sending my time so I told racer 69 to add 1 minute to it.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Plus a 10 second penalty for dozeyness ;) :dozey:

[harvick#1]

*Harvick have withdrawn. (I think :dozey: )

yes I have, but not from the championship

[tannat]

Mega confusion while running my race. Accidently ran 13 laps instead of 14 but only realised after sending my time so I told racer 69 to add 1 minute to it.

Ummm that would be shirking a bit, wouldn't it, as the fastest lap posted thus far is a 1:03.XX.... :p :

[I am evil Homer]

1:04.02 is the best i've managed....I don't really like this track much

[chrisfinch]

Ummm that would be shirking a bit, wouldn't it, as the fastest lap posted thus far is a 1:03.XX.... :p :

Just a little bit

[Peter Vuko]

Did some re-thinking with set up & it has paid off - posted a 1m.03.23 on time trial. Qualifying was super quick on soft tyres but in race trim using 85% tyres was not able to get near my qualifying time. I got the car handling very well -to do consistent times - which is very difficult on this track. Pretty confident of a podium spot to start the season!!

[johnny shell]

times due Thursday!

looks like it's time for me to stop working on unlocking the international V8 tour and get back behind the wheel of my DTM car!

this'll be an interesting race. I've had a respectable pace in practice, but I haven't done any work on a race set up yet and time is running out.

I hope I can finish with-in, say, half a lap of the winner.

that would be huge for me, and seems doable.

IF I have a perfect race and can be fast over a whole race, instead of just fast over one lap every so-often.

ok, I take that back. I'll just shoot to finish ANYwhere on the lead lap :D

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Try and get all of your laps within 1/2 a second of your best lap Johnny ;)

[johnny shell]

a half second??? :bigcry: that's too hard. but that's what I'll work towards.

[I am evil Homer]

Done my race - pretty pleased with it. Qually was good - managed to better my PB by a little way.

Race was trickier on much harder rubber - couldn't get anywhere near that time even when the tyres were fully heated about 8 laps in. After that the times were pretty consistent lap-by-lap, although they dropped off again towards the end as the tyres started to wear.

I'd be happy with a Top 5, Podium would be fantastic.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

If I remember to soften the suspension before the race and avoid those rocks....sorry.......tyres at the chicane, I think that I should get a podium.

[I am evil Homer]

I did that...but even with harder tyres running the curbs affects the wear rate towards the end.

[52Paddy]

I've got to stop popping up out of nowhere. I keep doing that and disappearing again. Anyway, I did this race. Wasn't too pleased with the overall performance but with no race rules, I was delighted not to be slapped with a penalty. I didn't do anything to the setup of the car, which wasn't wise because I struggled with a lot of over-steer and was fighting the car around a lot of the corners. This aggressiveness lead to me blowing a tyre on lap 10 and I had to pit. I am no where near the pace of you guys and don't expect to finish well but sure, at least I've made it to the end. I don't think I'll frequent this series too much. I'm not hopeful of a top 8 and couldn't go a third year with no points at the end of the series.

[johnny shell]

that's the most ****ed up race I've ever run!

driving those beasts around that track is like trying to get it on in a broom closet!

twice per lap you got to stretch you legs though. that was nice.

I bet this is the slowest track on the whole circuit. take a lot of finesse.

can anyone confirm that?

[I am evil Homer]

Oscherslaben has some pretty slow bits...but IMO is a more interesting circuit. Shame the game doesn't have the DTM on the longer track config....was it TRD! that had that or 2? Either way that was a lot of fun :)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I've done my races and I think that it was an average performance.

I got an awful start and dropped down from pole to 10th, but I was back in 1st place after the 2nd turn. Laps 2-7 were very consistent with only a 0.15 second range, but after about lap 9 my 82% hard tyres began to give up. however my slowest flying lap was only 1.5sec's off my fastest race lap.

My raw pace though was rubbish and it felt slower than last year's race :bigcry:

[Peter Vuko]

This track is one of the mosty difficult to set up for. I think the secret was in the downforce - I initially was using 50% rear & 75% front but the car felt too unsteady after 4-5 laps. I eventually used 100% rear & 150% front & the car felt much, much better. I was able to tweak the gearing so the car had excellent acceleration out of corners.

[tannat]

:eek:

WTF happened John?

[tannat]

Will be a token appearance for us at this venue.
Kids were sick (stomach virus) all last week, and I've not had the energy after night shift to practice any..

Will run our race when we get home tonight....

I had downforce at about 100% front and 70% rear and the car didn't feel edgy or difficult to control.



:eek:

WTF happened John?

Gearing! I shorten the top gears and lengthen the bottom gears so I can maxamise the the use of every gear and get rapid acceleration that Vuko talks about. In a race you rarely go below 50mph, so I set up 1st gear to work at this speed, but when the lights went green I had no acceleration from 0-40mph :( . So I lost about 2 seconds at the start.

[RaikkonenRules]

My race was largely like the one I had at Eastern Creeks with the V8s. Too soft tyres cuasing quick start but erratic 2nd half. :(

[johnny shell]

:eek:

WTF happened John?

(psss... Tannat... I don't want to spread rumors, but I read in a tabloid that JB has been seen out drinking lately, and partying with ladies too. people are saying it's messing with his performance)

[johnny shell]

reading about your races just reminds me how ****ty my own was the other night.

makes me feel like such a fool to be running around the way I was - tires squealing like sick pig all over the place and all.

I wanted to try the race again last night, but my sponsors want me to focus on the FPA and V8 series.

these are for sure the fastest & most challanging cars I've ever driven

[PiotrB]

I just do my race. I don't made a pit stop because I don't see mandatory pit stop in race details. Am I right?

[RaikkonenRules]

Yes you are. There is no pit stop unless told otherwise ;)

[johnny shell]

correct PB - no pit stops

unless you want to

but I wouldn't recommend it!

[PiotrB]

LOL ! Thanks guys.

I must say that I did really impressive time in Time Trial. Balance of the car was perfect.

[chrisfinch]

I'm ever so sorry but I wont be able to compete this round-a mixture of coursework and work. Aplogies, but I'll try to be back for round 2

[Brown, Jon Brow]

(psss... Tannat... I don't want to spread rumors, but I read in a tabloid that JB has been seen out drinking lately, and partying with ladies too. people are saying it's messing with his performance)

I am outraged by these rumours :mad: I am very proffesional about my racing career, I don't drink before races or smoke during them, I also make sure i have a balanced diet (plenty of beans on toast) and 14hours sleep a day. Mercedes don't pay for me to go out partying, they are trying to lose that image after Kimi left the F1 team. :p

[real_illusions]

i've heard the rumours that JB lurks around the local zoo's, flirting with the giraffes..and also swims with the penguins, feeding them fish, or at least he thinks its fish, but its actually the remains of the curry he's had that he had to bring back up due to swimming upside down, and trying to get it on with an elephant.......

[jso1985]

I guess I had the worst race of my life I'm quite sure I'm gonna be last in this round!

First of all never found a set-up that made me happy, alright qualy was good so was the race start but nearing the end of lap 2 I went a bit off-road and got some suspension damage didn't care at that time but from lap 6 I realized the tyres I chose were too soft and the suspension damage wasn't helping, after some quite bad laps the cherry on the cake was my back right tyre exploding at the beggining of the last lap, had to limp the car on 3 tyres(2 after the chicane) so I wa lucky enough to get to the finish line, should have pit around lap 10 anyway...

[maxu05]

Damn, Monkeyboy Racing missed the first round due other commitments, but, we will be on the grid for round 2.

[racer69]

Sorry for the delay guys, have been having computer trouble still and haven't been able to log on.

Results will be out probably tomorrow :)

My race was a shocker, too soft tyre choice and some stuffed suspension....

[Alfa Fan]

Just noticed that for some reason I'm absent from the entry list on the TRD3 website.

[RaikkonenRules]

When are the results coming.

[real_illusions]

Just noticed that for some reason I'm absent from the entry list on the TRD3 website.

your not on racer69's entry list either...are you?

As i've just uploaded that entry list to the website...

[racer69]

When are the results coming.

Provided my computer doesn't continue to mess around, tomorrow.


Also to let RR and everyone else know, a 2 minute penalty will be applied to you RR for running less laps than prescribed. A 1 minute penalty was never ever going to be fair to anyone, as the lap times are more than 1 minute........

[RaikkonenRules]

2 minutes :eek: That's over 50 seconds more than a normal lap. make it 1:10 then.

[johnny shell]

1:30 would be ok. 1:00 or even 1:10 makes no since at all. there has to be a penalty for being dingy :D

[racer69]

your not on racer69's entry list either...are you?


He is, under Jonathon McLeod :)

Results shortly :)

[real_illusions]

very surprised with 3rd

would of thought homer would beat me

onto oschersleben then...i dont expect a repeat result..but at least some more points.

:)

[PiotrB]

I'm happy to be 2nd in my first race. I choose too soft tyres for the race (45% Compound) so I have some understeer in closing stages of the race. Peter Vuko was only 1 second faster so I'm happy despite that. Now I have more experience and I looking forward to second round on Oscherslaben.

[jso1985]

not happy with the result, didn't expect to be 4 secs off the pace of mid-pack.

we need to test a lot!

[Peter Vuko]

A good way to start the season! I think Piotr B will be hard to keep out though. He must have been struggling by the end on 45% tyres - good for quick times but... I used 80%. What happened to J.B? He did the race, but I see no mention of his name in the results!

[BTCC2]

Could I enter this championship?

My entry is:

BTCC2
# 36
(GB)
Playboy Opel Vectra GTS

[tannat]

Happy to get some points..
It was a good, steady race, but my laps were consistent, and perhaps a bit cautious. Tire hardness was spot on in the 80's...

[racer69]

JB's results seemed to go AWOL, i never received them in my inbox, yet it is obvious he had done the race, so the results have been amended accordingly....

What we've got to wait an entire week for the next round. :(

[racer69]

The dates have been set so as not to clash with Peter's TRD3 V8 Championship, making it easier for everyone running in both series.

The V8s are this week, DTM is next week. Thats how it will be all season.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

JB's results seemed to go AWOL, i never received them in my inbox, yet it is obvious he had done the race, so the results have been amended accordingly....




Cheers :up:

How about we use the hadicapping system used in the V8 series.

Pos 1-5 No Hadicap
Pos 6-10 -1 second
Pos 11-15 -2 seconds
Pos 16-20 -3 seconds
and so on

Not a bad start...R_I got the better of me - last few laps the tyres went off and I struggled. Chose 65% hard...maybe should have gone to 75% in hindsight.

Still, quite like the next track :)
