LVT Round 4 - 1971 International Spring Trophy [Jun 14th]

Yes, AMS won't let you load in DLC tracks if it detects that you don't own the DLC that the track is from. The Season pass is cheaper IIRC than getting all DLC's combined but it gives you all DLC's that have ever been and will (or will not) ever be released in the future. store.steampowered.com/app/521600/Automobilista__Season_Pass_for_all_DLCs/

30€ compared to ~55€ if you were to buy all DLC's separately.

i'm out of this one, sorry for the late notice. quite amazing what a simple sudden lack of motivation can do, and since i'd rather not want to accidentally take someone out or be a moving chicane judging by the times i've seen so far, it's best for me not to start at all.

May come late... Parents invited me for dinner... Only heard it last minute.

Sorry to Richard, car just snapped under braking.

First race:
I got a decent start and had a good fight with Cezarius, until he passed me brilliantly and disappeared on my horizon.
Then Kayo came much faster in the corners but slow in the straight, I tried to concentrate and doing a defensive line, I managed to resist and defend the position. In the final part of the race, Little Al was in the same situation as Kayo, much faster on the corners and not so fast on the straights. I did the same defensive procedure until Little Al made a small mistake by touching my rear, nothing that would damage the car, but enough to lose my balance and cross the curve. Okay, Little Al, I know it wasn't on purpose.
Ninth place fell right in my lap
Second race:
I looked like a stranger in the middle of the grid, I knew that several cars behind me would be much faster. My focus was not to make mistakes and that's what I did, trying to run as fast as possible. It was a monotonous race, as I practically had no disputes for putting a wheel on the grass and everyone passed me. I just tried to get the car to the finish line and, if possible, without taking a lap ahead of the leaders. And I did it! In the end, seventh place fell very well in his lap.

Congratulations Anders and Thiago for the victories.

of all the ways i thought i would exit the race in this event, blown engine was last on the list. up until race morning i was really struggling with the cars. was considering not racing but decided to put in the effort and stick with it since i had signed up. learned some things, specifically details of this undulating and twisty track that made the difference, but it was going to be a race of mostly staying on the track.

qualifying pulled off my best lap of the week by far, wish i knew what i did so i could repeat it. ;O

race 1 as expected, anders, thiago, and juha were well on the pace, and i slotted in where i could. race 2 i was pushing way too hard early and made several mistakes putting me a bit back, but i though it was still a good spot, clean air, decent position. just as i regrouped and decided to run my own race to the end and not push too hard, blamo. maybe i overreved it early, pretty sure i didn't at the moment of failure. nice to see some engine reliability being an issue, just need time to get used to the cars....... doh only a one off race ;P

congrats to anders, untouchable pace, well deserved!

thanks for the broadcast!
