RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - March 26th - Fun Event - Caterham at Targa Florio - gorgias1976 - 24-03-2017
Sim Racers 4 Life welcomes you to a very special fun Event.
We will have a 1 lap race to the Targa Florio open road track in the Caterham car. Qualifying will be very important if you want to avoid being held by traffic, drivers joining after the qualifying session has ended will have to start from the final rows.
Remember gentlemanship and having fun are our main goals so be patient when fighting slower cars.
SR4L wishes you good luck for the race.

I gave it try last night, but didn't finish a lap before it rolled over for qually. Just I couldn't get the low fuel light to go out even when brimmed. Does the light come on when a lap left like it does at say Monza or is it light a fuel light in a real car (comes on when down to say 2 litres?
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - March 26th - Fun Event - Caterham at Targa Florio - 1959nikos - 24-03-2017
Top it up Bruce and it will be ok for 1 lap.
Dont mind about the fuel warning.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - March 26th - Fun Event - Caterham at Targa Florio - Bruce - 24-03-2017
That's OK, the Caterham is much better (for me) on this track than the Cobra.

I don't know if online server is faster but I did a rather comfortable lap offline, no major incidents and the laptime was rather slow, 41 minutes. :-\

36 liters will do you with fuel to spare
ignore light

;D Should be fun. It's like 2 events in one.
First the qually lap, I'm guessing it's private session so we not see other cars?
Then the race. I'll try not to lay lots of wooden posts on the road to flip your cars with. 8)
Don't forget to put your clocks forward one hour.

I made a full lap in default fuel (aprox 19 liters-5 gals)

I thought this was a great event , good fun , Harri must have been laughing her socks off as i kept throwing myself at the scenery
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - March 26th - Fun Event - Caterham at Targa Florio - Harri Mac - 27-03-2017
I let you pass me and then you threw yourself at a wall just before the 1st hair pin. You got good height, sorry, I didn't call the RAC. Was a fun drive, I admit I took it a bit easy and tried to drive it clean as there are a lot of little corners the car can get caught up on at Targa as well as fence and wall ends hidden in the shrubbery. Gorka tried to kill me near the end

Not my best day here, nice qualy but very nervous in race.
Being close to Harri and Deecee, when aproaching the second bridge on sector 2, at the lower part of the mountains, I crashed with two sticks debris and get a very long, long fly, landing below the bridge with no way to exit: DNF.
Nice event, thanks a lot for it.

I had just landed from a 20m height after having gone wide at a curve and having no room to go back because of the wall. I knew you here coming and I tried to recover backwards, I must admit I wasn't any carefull at all about leaving any room :-X
