ROUND 12 - ADAC Hessen-Cup [Wednesday November 28th]

Je ne serai pas la à l'heure

Present

Sorry for late

Desolè pour le retard

I'll be finished with my thing by about 21:05, so I have about 10 minutes to come onto the server. Hopefully I'll be there.

EDIT: That other thing has been moved back so I can start the race, but if it goes longer than 22:05, I'll have to retire

What's the expected race time?

présent

Server launched

Lap time around 1:02, 21:15 + 40 mins of race time = 21:55

That's very close as I have to do the other thing by 22:05

I can try though...

Bon desolé pour ceux que j'ai gené/bloqué,j'ai fini par me crasher,la voiture étant devenu inconduisible apres mes nombreuses sorties...

Je me suis arrêté dans l'herbe au 30 tour pour faire un barbecue avec le flat six

Je teste une nouvelle méthode pour rétrograder, par exemple descendre direct de 4 en 2; la 935 c'était peut-être pas la bonne voiture pour inaugurer le truc

Je me suis bien amusé!

Bravo au M1 lappées, beau boulot!

I Never expected this race to be so much fun ...

A Race full of accidents and Incidents I Loved it ...

Had some great laps with , Jean Marie , Peter , David and Phillipe
i was having a good race until the mistakes started to creep in towards the end of the race ...

Peter sorry for the bump i pulled over to let you pass but then i lost the plot

It was very exciting trying to race with the cars in your own class but also having to keep an eye
on who was overtaking in the Gr 5 cars ...

Well done JP and Lorenzo for the class wins and congrats all finishers

Thx Guys

Results on the website.

Sorry to some lappers, put it in neutral when I wanted to flash a thanks

I might deserve a penalty for using LC at the start and touching a car even though I tried to avoid it

2nd place, but I felt like JP kind of touched me into a spin but didn't give the position back, so I it has a light bitter taste. I got a bit heated up and tried at the last turn, sorry.

Can we protest?

I had fun though, but needed to leave quickly after the race.

Wow! 22 drivers, nice! Sorry I missed it. Was filling out paperwork and taking a drug test for the new job (starting Dec 11th).

En tout cas,c'est vrai que c'était fun,c'était tendu entre laisser passer les GR4 et batailler avec les Gr5

Good race all..the start was chaotic and I was taken off so I was dead last after turn 2

But then some good fighting with Carl, Placais and Martinelli. Sorry Martinelli for bumping into you

Looking forward to the next race

Took an average start and then found myself spinning for no particular reason exiting turn 2... Sorry for the chaos guys. Luckily, Gérard hit me and I was pointing into the right direction again I managed to climb up the field from 7th to 3rd, not making a lot of mistakes except for a spin in he last few laps. Lots of engine fires and offs for those preceiding me, as expected, so my steady race was rewarded with a podium finish Grats to all finishers and especially to the winners, it was good fun

Le DRM et les voitures Turbo c est definiftivement pas moi

bonne bagarre pendant 13 tours avec David pour la 1ere place , puis lors d un dépassement de 2 lappés il plonge sur leur droite moi sur leur gauche manque de pot les 2 le voyant ils se rabattent un peu sur la gauche , 2 roues dans l herbe en pleine accel et bin bam boum dans les murs , je repars mais bon la voiture part complet en live puis mes pneus brulent puis moteur me pete a la gueule

Just read the rules again, no words about what happens when you get spun

There was definitely a light tap at 43:11(race time) that spun me around.

I'm sorry, but no I'm not really. I was mad for the whole evening because my accelerator didn't work at all, all the time I lost on the straights compared to other Porsches was ridiculous (see replays to see what I mean).
I lost the pole because of that, I missed the start because of that, I had the lead and wasn't going to give it up because of a f*cking G25.

BTW, I just ordered a G27

It says somewhere that the one who caused you to spin should wait for you to recover. I have seen some ignore this but most follow this rule. I have seen it ignored by many coming back on the track after they spun themselves and collided with me or others.

Welcome to the club. I clean the bathrooms.

No it doesn't

Although doing it is cool

Yeah each collision is different from the next one so we can hardly enforce a general rule about that. The best is to do what all the parties involved consider the most fairplay thing to do, I guess .

Oh, maybe it was in some code of conduct thing I read. I thought it was a rule. No worries, I am usually too slow to catch someone and spin them.

If you would allow the installation of rear bumper trigger activated machine guns this would solved many problems. In racing terms this is called "active ballast".

Maybe one day we'll get a James Bond mod - that would do a nice Open event ^^

I am sure JP would have lost if not for the tap(not saying he did it purpose, heavens forbid!). I am just saying, there wouldn't have been an opening to pass me

I got him twice, but each time I passed him my line got compromised, but he just got me a tiny bit. Just at the wrong time when I accelerated

Let's say I dug my own grave by spinning some laps from the end. I got a bit to wide after lapping and spun. I was amazed I even got closer to JP, I guess it's as he said, pedal problems.

(But the pedal problems don't excuse the tap, sorry )

If you're not really sorry, I won't be sorry for attacking you into the last corner aswellxD

You do realize JP is really Juan Pablo Montoya in disguise, correct? And Juan Pablo does not apologize, he autographs the dents he causes. And he has lots of pens!
