wd kiwi

Massive wd kiwi. Look how close it was!!!!

Great races and Cheezy was a pleasure to race with, bloody quick too, was happy with 1-all outcome.

Some of the other guys were a reminder that other leagues don't have the same driving standards as we do.

No one was practicing TCL or VK Cup tonight, so i jumped on the V8 server for a drive.

Having never driven this track before tonight, and having about an hour to practice it, i am very happy with how it went.

Qualified FOURTH in a field of very fast drivers, i have no idea how this happened lol, maybe a few people didnt show up tonight or something.

Race 1, starting from FOURTH spot, (my best grid placement in my rFactor history), basically i was going ok, and was in 5th for a while, just being very carefull and braking early so i didnt rear
end one of the front runners, which i couldve done very easily.

Managed to stay clear of them, and ended up behind D!2t who ive never seen before. But me and him battled for about 17laps, well i was chasing him, but he was defending very well.
I was very happy to stay with someone and trouble them over a long distance. So the 7th spot i achieved was awesome.

Race 2 i started in 7th. Lights go green, i light it up and WEEEEEOEEEEE around the car goes and slams into the pit straight wall. Lost my front wing, and ended up 2nd last.
Wow, it makes such a huge difference with no front wing, you lose so much pace. I managed to complete all the laps, and brought the car home in 15th place.


Such a great mod are the V8's. Great fun to drive.

WD to the winners, of the races, and the series.

Big thanks to Webber, who donated his setup. keke. worked a treat.

Congrats to Kiwi, Benny & kris on the podium for series 2.

Heading into this last round Kiwi, Kris and myself all put in plenty of practice and were all pretty similar speed. The unknown for us being that that was four of us battling for championship was Nibiru's speed. Unfortunately Niburi didn't make the event and it was left to the three of us to battle it out.

Firstly before I continue my apologies for the hold up and change of format. For those that weren't aware there was a problem with a few players not having a pit box allocated. To add to this it actually was there but it was in the middle of the main straight. This was a new track and we tested everything but this never happen to us during testing. We tried numerous options changing cars etc which did fix the problem but as we fixed one other dropped out. So to make it fair the only option to get the show back on the road was to change tyre and fuel wear and make the race as long as we could on one tank at 75 litres

Ok for Qual with massive numbers needed to stick the car close as I could to the front and I managed fourth which was pretty happy about was very impressed with Shayn's time wd mate as I said last week you will get better as you get use to the cars.

Race one
Good start able to defend into turn one and followed kiwi down into turn three. Webber and chezzey were so quick and never had any attention of try to run with them. I was happy running in fourth and Drove one of my most controlled drives of my rfactor racing. Was sure the tyres were going to be ok but with not running this many laps one set (in theory had but it was when the tyre wear was x2 and the laps half the amount) I made sure I didn't lock a brake or have the car slide and the tyres temps were fantastic barely creeping over 100 deg. By doing this I was not just following Kiwi he was a fraction quicker but I could see that was using tyres pretty hard. about lap 8ish I think the tyre life became more apparent and I was able to close in attack and make a small break. From here was able to control tyre life again until duzNZ started closing a little after getting past Kiwi and after Kris telling me on Vent that he had bumped him last corner and spun kris wanted to stay clear so used up remaining tyres to the end to keep clear. Was great race the first half with kiwi and I battling allthough there was no passing attempts following that close for so long does bring quite a bit of enjoyment specially when I believed we only rubbered a panel once at turn 3 going side by side through there.

Race Two
Got a good start again and unfortunately kiwi didn't not sure what happened and was looking great for a top four finish. Had Skaife give me a big bump into turn six which was a accident and he ended up running off while I survived but can't say I was over-ally impressed as we explained pre race about championship battles. Eao Evil caught me slowly after this and I made a mistake I probably had the pace to hold him out but decide to let him through as I had a good gap back to the guys I was really running with. Kris in race one got spun Kiwi in race 2 had a issue lap one and cost him heaps of time and finally it was my turn heading into turn 3 complete black screen couldn't do a thing 20sec's at best before it came back and I was buried in the sand at turn 3 with no front spoiler and in position 17. I tried my best and got up as far as I could but it wasn't enough finished in 12th.

Well done Kiwi we have had some great battles all series. As I said we all had issues that cost us about the same amount of places at different times during the night, and on the night you made the strongest recovery of all of us and you are a truly deserving winner

Also WD to kris on your third position

so true

Absolutely stoked with with series win. Just a shame it was because of Benny's "black screen" (gotta love computers huh?)
Wonder how close it would have been otherwise...........
I was driving pretty hard at the end of race 2 because Kris was behind me and I thought I was defending 2nd in the series... (didn't realise Benny had an issue....)

Shame some of our visitors had the "Paul Morris Syndrome" but I guess that's racing .

Congrats Shazam on her first V8 race... hope you become a regular

and thanks JD

You one fair and square kiwi my issue may have glitched because of numbers your lap one was because of extra numbers so all even at the end
