You can find more informations on the track in the control center

You have to own a copy of GTL...

I like to be back on this track, because at Donington was my very first race with NKPro (last GPC Champ. with F2000), so it brings back nostalgic memories .

yea......GPC champ ...great memory for sure...............

So who's going to tell me how to get this track if you don't have GTL?

I sent you a PM few days ago.

lol I'm blind! that new pm icon is so hard to see. Thanks

it's the only orange buttom

Anyone care to share some set-up tips for donnington? I've got 1:30.95 but with a car that has some bad turn-in/snap over steer under braking. I can't imagine how folks are turning in 1:27's.

don't worry. those are aliens

Entry List.

Please don't forget your allocation. We need to know in advance how many servers are needed.

Fair: 0% rain

mi scuso per la chat partita per il nervoso (ho chattato una volta in gara 1 e una volta in gara 2) sono anche troppe lo so'
e' stato uno sfogo...mi dispiace pero', gara 1 Mika mi tampona in red zone 2 curve dopo lo start, e in gara 2 (sicuramente involontario) Mosca mi stringe dopo la S e la sfiga vuole che chi ci rimette sono io...loro niente ne Mika ne Mosca, e forse sono arrabbiato più per come si comporta netkar (nelle collisioni/danni) che come puo' andare una gara cosi'....capita.
il regolamento parla chiaro, non voglio giustificarmi, so' di aver recato danno a tutti voi. Andrà ,meglio la prossima volta se mi riprendero' da questa brutta esperienza, ho il collare da tamponamento

race1: I'm very sorry for this incident in the last turn of the first lap.. . I just shifted down to neutral -one downshifting too much- instead to the 1st gear (I really had just too much shivering fingers.. ) there this time in the last turn of lap1 and because of this I lost control of the rear -no throttle there in neutral . Because of standing immediately on the track there some cars after me crashed with mine.

race2: Was ok -had a 'battle' with Delega all the time on track- until my car made a 180 degrees screw after the first curb of the chicane two laps before my second pitstop :\.
So I was send back to pits and had to continue the race one lap behind until then. Also I had to make a third pitstop, because I had a little bit too less fuel filled in as I continued the race after I was send back to the pits.

I made an edited replay of this 180 degrees screw (1MB):

A bit unrealistic those things, netKar's flying physics, those screwings happen quite easily sometimes especially with the Osella,
but 'I like it'... you just have to be more careful over a possibly bumpy chicane, otherwise the car flies to the side.

Bummer Sergio! Looks like you had some bad luck. If I may make a suggestion, in the 2nd incident it looks like you're looking at the wreck instead of the apex which drew you into the wreck. Next time just focus on your apex and keep one eye on the wreck.

there will be better situations in next races Sergio .
my downshifting to neutral error is a mistake that does only happen something like one time in hundred years and especially at such a corner where it means 'death' to do such a mistake.

-unfortunately the Osella has no gear-display directly on the wheel like the formula cars, because if it would have been so I would probably have realised that I shifted to neutral a lot earlier.. and then immediately react and shift up one gear again.
edit: what am I saying.., of course there is a gear-display in the cocktpit of the Osella behind its wheel (almost forgot that), but in my more high viewing setting this display can not be seen anymore.

Luca Due volte ........da veramente fastidio, perdi completamente la concentrazione e succede a 14 persone che gia contano lap e benzina ,curve e frenate ,dietro e davantichi c e...e ne posso dire ancora mille.....il full mode ,.........un errore viene pagato con la gara...
preciso posto il replay apposta... nel mio replay Mika non ti tocca realmente....mi sembra che ci sia un po tra la tua macchina e la sua dai un occhio se vuoi... poi dovremmo sentire lui se l ha accusata ...

Maybe you right, but when netkar cars touch each other they react very fast and unpredictably, so is not a easy job to avoid others.

I don't blame you, you just spin, full mode here just made me a trick, without the full mode, I would be just near the pit entry and could repair the car, with losing just a small time.

Luca Seghieri has been penalized for chatting during the race.

I appreciated very much the fact that, at least, you apologized here on the forum.


I hope this will not happen anymore. Chatting during race is strictly not allowed.

The results of the server out of group B seems to be funnily corrupted, the shown quali positions are really totally wrong (mixed) ! -I think Kehagias was on pole, me around 5th and so on..-,
but the race positions are correct anyway. If Canseco was not on pole, the real polesetter should get the point for the fastest quali lap, that needs to be corrected.

Yes it seems there is something wrong in both races, and the times are not correct.

By the way, awesome race for me last night, but i would like to have some battles. Next time
I think it was the first time in my simracing experience that I win a race like this. 8)

Grazie, ho solo una domanda... ho giustamente subito -10 pt per la chat ma vorrei sapere se c'e' una tabella predefinita o c'è libera interpretazione sui punti da decurtare ?
ho dato un occhio a questo documento per la Ks2 series ma -10pt non arriva nessuna penalità(vale la somma?)...esiste un'altra tabella? se i punti sono giusti e che credo siano giusti e che non le date certo "a caso" ha più gravità la chat che creare un'incidente in redzone....mi pare un pochino esagerato ecco ma è solo una mia impressione ci mancherebbe ...scusatemi di nuovo e non risuccederà (stacco la tastiera)
