Fucking walls

Yeah I can't wait to arrive to road circuits, not surrounded by walls. Street circuits ... pfff

I´m gutted my h-shifter broke i was gearing down and suddenly i had the stick in my hand . It had snapped off at the bottom .. but inspite that i had a blast tonight it might even been a points finnish Now im gonna send SST Lightining a mail and a pic off the shifter and clame a new one .. it came with lifetime warrranty .

See u all next time .

Picking wrong engine rad, looking at your engine smoking and you can't do anything = Worst nightmare.

Didnt forget to start Tiago, I had no lights and the start took me by supprise, Anyway Not very quick and not much luck, Now my gear paddles are not working right so will have to get the wheel repaired.

Well done to the finishers.

Dur dur ce début de saison.

Apres une collision, et une réparation mais voiture n allait pas droit en ligne droite, et c était plus dur dans les lignes droites qu'en virages!!

Apres 10T je finis par abandonner.


A la prochaine!!

this was looooooong...hey...it was my best race on HSO and maybe the longest I´ve ever finished....and



ALL MY THANKS ARE FOR MIKE, WHO GAVE ME SETUP...without that i won´t be there for more than 3 laps...

thank you MIKE!

great racing with Thomas in first part of the race...great racing, thank you

I started from P12 and didn't had any lights either so I just started when I saw the other cars moving...

Well, didn't make to the end but it was fun while it lasted.... lost my engine on lap 63, when I was going through the bumps after T1. Those bumps made me over rev, so probably that caused my retirement...

Bravo Martin
Splendide podium pour cette 1ere course
Merci pour la retransmission TV, c'estait top

No offensive intention there Richard, just trying to somehow explain why I didn't have a front wing just after 10 meters

Gregoire, please tell me you scored points. Please!

What a crazy race!!

Je vais reprendre en francais,sinon ca ne va pas durer 5 lignes

Je prend un bon départ,au 1er virage je prend l'interieur mais rate un peu mon freinage et pile,je ne touche personne
Apres ca va etre une bonne bataille aux alentours de la 15 16 eme,malheurement j'avais mis trop peu de frein moteur,le carburant s'écoulait trop lentement,et je l'ai compris qu'a mon premiere arret,j'ai donc passé les 40 derniers tour sur le mix map a 10..

apres les 10 premiers tous je reprend ma place (a peu pres la derniere)et j'essaye de ne pas faire d'erreur,ce que je réussi a faire,je remonte 13 eme avec les abandons mais une quizaine de tours avant la fin je me rate dans la courbe du T2 et je casse mon aileron,j'ai évité le gros accident
Je finis donc 12 eme avec des jambes crispé,quel course!! ce fut vraiment éprouvant

Results are up on the website

Congrats finishers ! 12 drivers at the end is a very nice score

Well done to my teammate Martin who did a stunning race

I got a great start which allowed me to have a decent gap over Gui, but i felt immediately that the car was not going as i like..loads of understeer which was completely absent in the laps i did earlier this afternoon, lapping in low 28's (and even high 27's at times) very consistantly with full tanks, while tonight i wasn't able to do a low 28 before lap 30 or so, by the time i let Martin through as he was so much faster.

The rest of the race was quite uneventful, i just had to be consistant to bring home a nice 2nd
And a huge result for the constructors champ!

See you in Brazil!

What a race!

Started as 10th and missed the start because of confusedness (was searching the time-table and wasn`t aware that we start that fast. After the first two laps, i was 10th again and startet to gain some positions. Went on to P7, but spun out. Luckily just lost one position. Then i started to made some really good laps and was able to drive on to P4. Had some nice fights with Greg and Franck. Was on a two pit strategy with soft tires and that worked very very good. Was then on P4 and tried to hunt Gui, but we had nearly the same speed. He went into pits twice and so i was able to overtake him. But spun out a second time and lost my front wing. Back into pits, after 28 seconds of still-stand, i was on P5. I was able to go a good speed, so catched Franck pretty soon again. I think he was on mediums and a one stop strategy. Finished on P4 and am very very happy with that.

Congratulations to the podium, especially to the winner Martin. Unbelievable, what the Larousse guys and Gui do with that slow cars.

I also like to thank all finishers and lappers. Well done, guys!

Roll on Brasil, can't wait to get back onto permanent tracks

C'etait que du plaisir cette course et ce mod! merci encore au eam HSO
Comme prevu avec ma premiere tres longue je ne decolle pas de la ligne, puis je prend le rythme et remonte jusqu'a gregui et finis par le passer a l'usure ...le tonton a frappé
Comme d'hab en milieu de course (lheure de mes pilules surement) je m'endors et pete mon aileron avant ...mais le mod est bien fait te je perd que 30s aux stands ...
je remonte jusqu'a la 4eme place et les pneux sont nazes lorsque Warrio euh Mario remonte comme une balle ... pas de resistance inutile et une belle 5eme place + ...
Bravo à tous pour le peut d'accrochages sur une piste si dure ...
Et super Martin qui est vraiment le meilleur ...quand il finit bien sur ...
bonne semaine a tous
Tonton flingueur

I don't understand why some of you race with the autoclutch disabled, having to DNF because of a stalled engine is so stupid ^^

I guess it's the same thing with some people using paddles and others using H-shifter... adds that little touch to realism

Just the same as racing with an h-shifter i guess, realism. However those of us using h-shifters can get into neutral in a whim, not easy to stall a car this way. If you are in sequential gears and no autoclutch you are certainly taking serious risks.

Je regarde le streaming et il est vraiment excellent !

Merci a ceux qui le réalisent

No problem Tiago, Sorry if i came across strong, Just P***ed off fact my steering wheel is playing up, Reason why i pulled out of the race, Was going from 3rd to 5th or not shifting at all, And im using Paddle's

Well done to podium and all finishers, You deserve a drink!

All cars (yes, even the Larrousses) were declared legal after the post race inspection.

Je viens de regarder 40 min de courses avec les commentaires de Franck et Antoine, c'est tout simplement génial !
quel beau boulot les gars, tres pro on s'y croirait
Merci beaucoup

You are SUPPOSED to let me finish agead...did you not get the team orders???

A good race overall. I could not see the start lights and I guess I was not alone. I was wathching for movement and there was not much of it until I got tapped.

Sorry Phillipe for the very VERY poor pass at about the 1/4 on the back straightaway heavy braking area. You surprised me with your early brake spot and I locked up the fronts and barely got them rolling in time to avoid a complete disaster.

Was very fun going back and forth with Vinent B for almost the entire race. While I was in fuel saving mode he would catch me and then watch me pull a "Ferrari" on the main straight then he would proceed to catch me. Repeated this at least 20 times. After pit 1 I started dropping to 2nd in the slowest corners since my fuel was good (espeically thanks to the speedy leaders). I was able to hold off Vincent and Phillippe a lot easier then.

Only 1 stupid mistake at the 1 minute to go point. I glanced at the message just as I should have been braking for the 180 degree turn by the pits. I locked up and hit the wall damaging my wing. Last lap was wingless and not the thing you want to do after 2 hours of wall dodging.

I am very pleased with 9th and was targetting 10th. I hope to contend up front at some of the non street course races this season!
