Damn, how can you still remember that?

Probably because I laughed so much about it back then !

Embarassing moment, that's for sure.......

Des que ça devient difficile à piloter je m'efface.

I'll be there

absent

I'm in!!

Quali in 10 minutes, have a good one everyone.

Crappy race for me, lots of traffic in a small and difficult circuit and I never really felt good. Lots of incidents at the start and first turns I managed to avoid, and finally lost the rear braking for the corkscrew and not sure of what the car before me was doing (My fault, not his, as I moved while braking).

Bad championship start

Désolé pour mon passage du corkscrew. J'ai harponné un pilote. Sincérement désolé.
Il y a peu de chance, à cet instant, que je recommence, car ça me donne plutôt envie de stopper l'aventure avec ce mod.

I was having a great race at the front with Greg and Martin when suddenly a backmarker slowed a lot before the first turn and neither me nor Greg could avoid him
I lost my front wing and probably i had a puncture, i stayed out trying to get into the pits but i got in the way of someone who hit me hard before the corkscrew , i must apologize for that

sorry Carl for taking all the place forcing you to the rail, i was just astonished by Gérard's move that blow my wing 1 second before...
Gérard, t'arrête plus sans prévenir en pleine accélération stp, j'en ai vraiment eu les jetons irl là

et désolé pour le léger cafouillage avec Philippe 3 tours avant au Corkscrew, j'pensais que tu me laissais passer
on ne se touche pas, ça passe juste, mais je bloque les roues en sortie et ça met la foire derrière... (phase durant laquelle Gérard perd don aileron si j'ai bien vu)

mais j'vais pas arrêter la F5000 même ça si craint là... en course j'étais bien confortable et rapide jusque là, c'était très bon, et puis ça peut aller que mieux

Nice race for me until lap 7 when one of the leading cars hit me from my back and i crashed in to the guardrail. i didn't lost any wheel,just the front wing,but for some reason my car didn't moved anymore,i got stucked in the place.
I know it must be difficult,but while lapping a car,be patient,no one will win a race in a single lap.
On the other hand, my short race was very fun,almost everyone was driving very carefully,avoiding mistakes.
Looking forward now for Edmonton

Oh crap it was my biggest fear and it happened : I blew up my engine
I need to learn the Repco's user manual.

I crashed at the corkscrew on lap nine; I was distracted by the action in front of me. Oh well, on to Edmonton.

Congratulations Martin on a great drive! Well done.

No Problem Jieffe it was a shame as it looked like we was going to have one of are epic battle's

Im not really sure what happened with Gerard as it all happened so quick but i had no where to go so headed straight for the rail and lost my spoiler ... Had to pit and i had no box as someone was in my pitbox so i had to wait for them to leave .....

I Came out in last place made up several places but kept having to give way for quicker cars
but still managed to have a nice battle with Philip Bousquet ....

A little dissapointed with the result , Cant wait for the next encounter .....

Une soirée très sympa pour ma part, même si j'arrive a 1/4h de la fin des qualif sans avoir pointé.(désolé, je pensais juste qu'il fallait prévenir en cas d'absence ).
En ce qui concerne ma course, j'ai assuré le plus possible de peur de casser mon moteur avant la fin.
Bravo au vainqueur,merci aux orga et a bientôt sur Edmonton.

Désolé Jean-François,mais j'étais sous drapeau bleu,tu prenais un tour,car en effet suite au contact avec Philippe,je suis passer par les stands.Reparti 22ème,je termine 8ème.
Bravo le podium,et a tous les participants.N'abandonner pas,le championnat ne fait que débuter.J'ai débuter l'année passer en F5000,casse moteur sur casse moteur,j"ai persévéré.Et maintenant, se n'est que du plaisir,en plus je roule avec la boite en H.
