Round 5 - Adelaide [Apr. 4th]

"current session closed"

Le serveur est fermé pendant les qualifs?

Damn something really weird happened to me!!!!

Don't know exactly when, the game failed to count my lap, as if I was no longer on the track From then on, I got no timing and my position was always last and with no laps at all!!!! I kept racing behind Carl as I hoped the admins would later give me points if my final rela position deserved them, but I got blue flags fron ANY car behind me, even those I had overtaken for position

Ths situation was so ridiculous that I simply decided to quit

What a good race tonight

I was in second position at the start, thank to a good last lap in the qualification session.
I was under pressure at the start with the 2 groupe A cars of Gui and Yves (I think) but I've defended my position with succes.
After a couple of lap, it's time to overtake the lapped cars and it was a bit difficult with the chicane.
Thanks to it Gui come back and overtake me.
Hopefully the situation turn over for me and I was able to overtake Gui after a little mistake of him.
Gui will never come back and I finally ends 2nd and 1st of the groupe B !

Ah et sinon j'ai fini avec les pneus vert ! juste un carré usé ! Jamais vu ça, j'étais content

It's a damn shame Steve and Frank eventually dropped out of the battle but me and JP took it right to the finish line I knew I could beat him out of the last turn and over the line if things went perfectly but I suppose he did too and also knew how to keep me behind Well done JP, it was a pleasure

I'm so shame... I raced like a
As I predicted I was slow on this track and car.
I had very long mental fight with Phillipe Martineli (Great race mate); And Sorry again Frank, I should't have tryed to pass you there.
My sponsors are closed on the roulotte, discussing if they should continue to finaciate my ATCC racing.
They don't seemed pleased with me at all

Standings are updated on the site

Not a great race for me.
I took a terrible start but thanks to my superior skills in straight line, I kept my 3rd place. Took about 10 laps to warmup and lost up to 7s on Lorenzo during that time. Then something clicked and I pulled together a series of fast laps, took 2nd place from Pierre, and almost caught Lorenzo, who had troubles in traffic I think.
But I got a strange and pretty violent headache, made me lose my concentration. I lost time to Lorenzo and went down to 3rd after several mistakes. I was just trying to bring the car home in one piece, which almost failed when Patrick decided to almost stop his car on the racing line just before T1 Couldn't avoid him as I was already braking, and hit him hard but luckily didn't damade the car too much and could finish 3rd.

Grats to Lorenzo and all finishers.

J'ai adoré ce circuit et cette course il est regrettable qu'elle se soit terminé en eau de boudin
Gui je viens de voir le replay et j'ai fait la même procedure que lorsque tu m'as pris un tour dans mon 31eme, je suis resté à l'exterieur de la courbe tout en ralentissant et en laissant une grande place pour que tu puisses prendre la corde
Vraiment désolé que cela se soit passé de la sorte surtout que c'etait le dernier tour
Je pense qu'on c'est mal compris mais je veux bien prendre les tords pour moi puisque j'etais le lappé

Sinon autre fait de course, dans mon 16eme tour je me fais bumper par David qui m'envoie dans un 360° en début de ligne droite, pas tres fairplay je trouve surtout qu'avec la puissance de sa voiture il m'aurait facilement dépassé dans cette même ligne droite, m'enfin ce n'etait pas ma soirée et j'essayerai de faire mieux la prochaine fois

Encore Bravo à Lorenzo pour son festival

Pas grave j'ai rien perdu dans l'affaire. Je regarderai le replay, mais franchement je ne pouvais pas t'éviter. Tu étais quand même loin devant moi et je ne pensais pas que tu me laisserai passer ici, et ton freinage brutal m'a surpris. Et comme j'étais déjà en phase de freinage, plus possible de changer de ligne

Haha yes Jukka, that was fun ! I wasn't very confident about that last corner, considering you took me on the outside a few times
Big fight with Jukka, Steve and Frank during the race, I even managed to overtake in a 3 wide thanks to my superior skills in straight line (copyright Gui).
I (in fact we) was catching Greg for 5th, but didn't have enough time to close the gap. 6th, 3rd in category isn't that bad I guess

Sorry Patrick,
I had serious trouble in balancing the car on that last corner, I was trying to let you room and I let the car go to the outside, I was getting out of grip, and when I lft the accelarator... it unbalanced the car even more and I bumped you. I realy tryed to avoid that, believe me. I just couldn't.
Sorry mate I was out of room or grip.
Also congratilations to Lorenzo (I still think he drinks benzine) and to everyone.
This was tough to me. Couldn't get confortable with the Commodore.
My Australian Sponsors are not talking to me anymore...

It does not matter David, we try to do better next time

Je fais un léger spin au 11ème tour dans l'antépénultième virage, qui me fait crever l'avant gauche. Je rentre aux stands, 40 sec d'attente. Au bout de 20, j'en ai marre, je fais Esc puis lance Skyrim.

Let me ask you something, I know its not maybe the place, but I can't think of any other:
I have some messanges sent to Tiago, that are on my outbox and won't go... First I've noticed I had my sent box full, so I allmost emptyed it. All my boxes are lower then 20%... what's the problem here, can someone help me?

If they are on the putbox then that's because Tiago hasn't yet logged in from the last time, so he has not received the message. As soon as he logs in again, the message will be sent and go from your out to your sent box.

yes Alberto, the thing is that he is online now...
I've spoken to him on the phone just now.
Thanks anyway

soiree bien sympa pour moi qui a commencé des le warn up avec Franky

la course , grace au plr de Romain j ai peut etre reussi a reglé mon pb de temperatures des pneus , hier max je montais a 112 degrés a confirmer lors des suivantes . vite fait de memoire une belle bataille avec Yves en début et en fin de course , une incompréhension avec Carl , lors d un " lapage " a mis un terme a ma bagarre avec Romain , mais je ne lui en veux pas car il m avait l air un petit peu perdu sur le circuit hier soir . puis apres j ai ramene la voiture jusqu a l arrivée non sans beaucoup trop de petites erreurs a mon gout

Grats Lorenzo et Pierre ( je me demande comment tu fais pour avancer autant avec ta merco qui plus est sans user une once tes pneus )

Moi aussi... mais j'étais en very hard/hard

Je sais pas comment tu fait, surtout en partant avec le plein... Tu étais en soft

Pas pu participer aux qualifications pour cause de serveur fermé, départ de la dernière ligne, je gratte direct 4/5 places, et après les premiers virages je pointe aux alentours de la 11/12.

La course s'installe, un gros gap devant, un petit derrière, je vise l'arrive en me disant que quelques imprudents montés trop tendre pourraient me donner l'opportunité de gratter encore une ou deux positions.

Vers la fin je dépasserais Vincent visiblement à la peine, et Steeve qui aura l’amabilité de se sortir 2 fois pour me laisser passer

Que les points sont durs à attraper dans ce championnat

Bravo devant, Merci HSO

Sorry Greg , Frank and anyone else i got in the way of

no problem Carl

J'étais en Hard - Med comme toujours.

I was so stupid.. I was on meds on both ends!!
