Otherwise nice driving, this is the toughest car for Amaroo. Good luck!!

I must disagree with you... there's one a little tougher

Hey Ben,
Thank you very much for you advises here...
I'll try to keep that in mind today.
I just don't get what you mean by stabbing the car?? (not so good english) I mean I don't drive carrying a Knife like Tiago...
You mean looking up the wheels?

I don't carry knives.... I throw them

ahhh ok thanks Steve.

Shit I can't be there on time for the race.

Dire que j'en ai plein le cul de me faire sortir cette année serait un euphémisme....

Elia, that's not cool! You had a lot of place on your right, why did you push me out?

Bref, merci pour l'orga, à la prochaine....

Managed to get involved in the crash on the hill on the 1st lap , i Just could not avoid

I had no time to practice for this and it is far too dangerous a track to be a mobile chicane 1/2 distance was enough for me ......

I've not really got the best from the Alfa in this series and feel somone else could make better use of it at the moment ....

I'm Really Sorry but I would like to free my Alfa for the rest of the season

Don't do that Carl, unless you want my Mustang

Ha, so I wasn't the only one to mett Elia during the race.
1st lap, he tried to push me on the grass under braking. Then I find him twice in the middle of the Turn 2, which damaged my car and ruined my chances in the race.

My Holden is free, I'm tired of it.

Was having great battle with Greg for 3rd place,when on lap 58 an invisible object destroyed my car ,but apart from that a great race

--> REPLAY <--

I should be 4th in front of Tiago but I lost a lap after missing a sector line. I'll edit the export one day ^^

Unexpected finish here !

I did a good race without any mistake, but only one, I choose the wrong rear tyres wich has allowed Lorenzo to come back in the last 20 laps. The last lap was amazing, it started with a takeoff in my rear bumper from lorenzo ( ) and finished with a cross over at the penultimate turn (hum, google trad, not the last turn, the one before, it's the right word for it ? ) and then we cross the line and I win for 0.06 second ! Unbelivable !

Amazing job Lorenzo, was a great finish !

Thanks m8, and well done, sorry for the huge bump on the uphill section on the last lap, i didn't expect you to brake so early there
I expected to run alone for the whole race, being faster than anybody else but you, that was a pleasant surprise! See you on the next race at Oran Park, hopefully for another great race!

OK mate, that's racing

Was gonna be racing tonight but as I was about to start practise I had a phonecall from my driver saying he could not do the rally this weekend as he is very ill, great shame so I had to ring organisers etc.

ah well

Ok, after a very disapointing race (again) ,I can't take it anymore.
I can't be competitive with this car. I make countless mistakes. I mean... laped 4 times
So, my Commodore #8 its free for someone who can make a good use of it.
Congratilations to the finishers.

Une fois n'est pas coutume je vais commencer par les points negatifs

La qualif, je n'ai pas compris pourquoi certains pilotes ont fait plus de 3 tours lancés (soit 5 au total)
Surtout que certains de ces pilotes ont améliorés leurs chronos dans les tours supplementaires sans être declassés

Le départ, certains pilotes sans doute frustrés d'avoir raté leurs qualifs se sont crus autorises à prendre un depart de kamikaze et mettre le bordel parmi les pilotes plus prudents et à leurs places sur la grille

Ceci etant et malgré le fait que je me soit retgrouvé dernier suite au carambolage du départ, je me suis bien amusé une grande partie de la course
Une petite incomprehension avec Frank au moment ou il me prend 1 tour (vers le 30eme), desolé mais je pensai que tu allais prendre la trajectoire exterieure pour mieux aborder le virage suivant
Par chance tu n'as pas trop perdu de temps

Sinon à partir de la mi-course je reviens au contact de David et Elia en difficulté avec leurs pneus, il s'en suit de beaux duels, je reussi à les passer et je termine à une belle 9eme place, la meilleure perf de ma saison dans ce mod

J'étais souvent aux premieres loges pour asister à la fantastique bagarre entre Pierre et Lorenzo, messieurs c'etait tres tres beau

Merci à HSO et à la prochaine

Great job !

Very nice video and very fast to made it !

(if you want some more, you can check the last lap too )

Cool video Simon

Splendid video Simon

Did an unexpectedly quick 2nd qualifying lap that placed me in the 2nd row, but I knew already that I did not belong there. As I supposed, the guys next behind me were actually quicker, so my first laps were a bit of a nightmare trying to stay out of the way and not cause a big collision while they went through and I settled on my real race pace. Went out once or twice but never collided, so my car remained in one piece and rejoined in 13th place, chasing Vincent and Elia. Vincent went through after some laps and when my turn came, I had some very nice laps with Elia, who resisted the pressure like a champ Then in the blind left-hander 3rd turn I was too close on his bumper and lost my references, exiting again and losing 10 seconds. Went back to track and restarted the chase, catching finally Elia, David and reaching 8th, but Frank was coming fast from behind and I knew he would sooner or later catch me -Again I went wide on one turn and he went through. From there on, the rest of the race was a matter of not destroying what was left of the tires, as the closest car was 28 seconds in front.

In all, again a pleasing race, I really like this mod and have reached a good mojo with the M3

Nice video by Simon, had not seen what happened in the rear. Who died in the white BMW on the first turn uphill?
