Formula Palmer Audi Rd 8 - Oschersleben

[real_illusions]

Back to Germany again for another race of the Formula Palmer Audi, where we believe hostage negotiations are underway in releasing the rest of the field from their German hippos..uh..i mean..women, kidnappers, in the hope that this race series will have more cars than fingers on an averge persons hand.

Hopefully we'll be back upto 2 hands, and therefore double figures, by the end of the season, but some people say that this very far fetched and we're living in a dream world.

The show goes on however...

Race laps - 16 laps.
Wrong way - on
Corner cutting - on
Careless driving - off
Flags - on
Pit Stops - on

Setups - Only the following can be changed - Gears, Anti-Roll Bars, Suspension damping.
Other setup restrictions, just for a bit of fun. Downforce set at 0 at both front and rear. Tyres - Compound on default (50), but the profile is upto you.

More fun bits -
Qualifying - none at all, you must start in the middle of the field.
Must make one pit stop where you change tyres, and fix any damage if need be. And a drive through pit stop (stopping isn't compulsory), that must be taken between laps 5 and 12. So, you can drive thru only from the end of lap 5, to the end of lap 11. You can stop and change tyres, fix damage etc if you want to. But this cant replace your other compulsory stop, which you can take at any time that the computer allows you to.

That should keep you entertained till the results deadline of April 29th at somewhere around 22:00 BST. Hopefully post the results that night or on the 30th along with the next rounds details.

Have fun and dont crash too often

I'll be at Oschersleben this week

car #33 for Spike Motorsports (since the car has never been sold and is just sitting in the garage)

I'm not expecting any miracles and expect to have a poor performance

I've hit the track for our 2nd stop at this fine german circuit.

the first time here, with free set-up, I was lapping in the low 1:05's - and that was in the begining of the season when I still had little experience with these cars.

in my first short session this round, I was only in the mid 1:09's! I didn't use the boost though, which would be worth a second or more I'm sure.

[real_illusions]

just a quick note - dont use the kerbs! In the short test i did on defaults just as i announced this round, i rolled the car a couple of times by taking the kerbs...

need to do some more testing soon.

[johnny shell]

agreed - hitting the kerbs, or the curbs, with these rules is a very bad idea!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I bet there is a big crowd at this event as it is on the same weekend as the DTM race here.

[harvick#1]

well I ran a 1m 9.85 second lap which is ok I guess comparing to Johnnys time

can I use my Audi DTM though : I was 6 seconds a lap faster with it here

can I use my Audi DTM though : I was 6 seconds a lap faster with it here

only if i can use an f1 car

[johnny shell]

then can I use a Champ Car?

I believe those are the fastest race cars in the world now.

i'll have to use a time machine then built into a a bugatti veyron
