Round 3 - Gran Premio di San Marino [Feb. 17th]

That's nice to hear Ben Can't you get something else than the Fondmetal? Although you run in something famous

Okay, the race: I intended to start slow so I don't get caught in any crashes.

Turns out I have a good start and keep my position. Hell brakes loose as Yves has his crash infront of me and I narrowly make it past the wreckage.

After that, I ran behind Alessio(I didn't like him so close to my rear so I let him pass but ended up overtaking him again and again until he spun ) and Tiago, who I was able to overtake as he spun aswell. Mario passed us during that time, ran away by 15s, then pitted and got a DT, and finally spun infront of me at the pit entry.

I approached the car of Mr Senna(Martinelli), but he looked a bit confused as he blocked me a bit, but I kept a cool head and waited until I could pass.

The rest of the race was trying to get closer to Samuli, and then keep 5th when he pitted and tried to catch me on fresh tyres.

I had only one last scare when I blocked my brakes at the last chicane and went through the pit lane

But I managed to keep 5th in the end, double points for Minardi once again! Well done to the podium and everyone who finished!

Je n'ai pas vu le replay, et je n'en ai pas besoin.

Donc, si tu me dis que je suis la cause de ton abandon en t'envoyant dans le mur, je te crois, et je m'en excuse sincèrement.

A l'inverse, si je te dis n'avoir pris aucun risque lors de ce départ, et que si je suis sorti, c'est parce que c'était pour moi, à ce moment, la seule solution d'éviter d'harponner les F1 un peu en vrac devant.
Je te concède que mon retour, avec un volant tordu, a peut-être un peu chaotique, et qu'effectivement, je n'avais plus grand contrôle à ce moment et je m'en excuse.
Je te donc prie donc me croire sur parole, comme à l'inverse je crois sur parole tout pilote HSO sur quelque fait de course que ce soit.

Cette confiance réciproque, cet esprit gentleman est la première raison qui me fait rouler chez HSO, les résultats passant au second plan.

Another points finish with Lotus is nice achievement.

Needed to attack all through the race because there was always someone just seconds behind my tail. Fighting for seconds is serious bisnidz!

Around lap 20 I got proper excitement with my cat jumping on the back of my chair and bumping her head against my headset. Then trying to steal the chair by sitting on my neck, trying to push me away. Had to scream loud to make cat disappear.

Dear gentlemen, I may present: Leucat(only LFS drivers might understand).

Ohh man that was a hard fought one , Constantly trying to go 100% is taking its toll now i´m nackered But a 4th place is a really good result for me feels almost like a victory I overtook both Greg and Frank when they did there pitstops but i wasnt a match for them so they both overtook me and drove away . Was great fun and grats to victory Gui and to Frank and Greg for podiumfinnish .

Cu all at Monaco a place i never seen the checkered flag

/Anders

Bravo à tous ,

Aux gagnants et aux perdants.

Hoho le Benou aux commentaires

I watched the broadcast, and even though I didn't have a clue what anyone was saying, it was still surprisingly easy to follow.

I also heard Ben Warren followed by très bien, so I'll say thank you to that.

Tres bons commentaires d'Antoine et de Ben qui viennent de me faire revivre la course

Ma course fut limpide jusqu'à 5 tours de l'arrivée ou je vais malheureusement taper un mur, il va s'en suivre 2 arrêts au stand pour essayer de réparer mais la suspension est tordue et j'aurai grand mal à terminer cette course mais je l'ai fait

13eme et dernier classé, c'est un peu mieux qu'au Brésil et c'est prometteur pour Monaco surtout si j'arrive à passer les qualifs

Bravo à Gui pour sa magistrale démonstration
La bataille entre Franck et Greg etait superbe à voir sur le live
Une pensée pour Alberto mon coéquipier, il etait bien en course avant son abandon, ça va finir par payer Alberto

Rendez vous à Monaco

Merci Ben et Antoine pour cette superbe retransmission

PS: Mr Antoine fait erreur quand il dit que Greg m'avais battu aux E.U. ...je lui avais deja mis sa race au p'tit fillot

I didn't realise I caused any problems, sorry Good battle still, although I was pushing with fuel mix 5 and you seemed to be driving in a more relaxed manor

Congratulations Franck, getting the Dallara points on the board! Hopefully I can do the same, but relying on attrition

No, but I was racing full-time in the cockpit view for the first time and you were so close in my shaking rear view mirror when I braked, so I let you pass.

But I noticed you didn't get anywhere, so I took the position back(I started on boost 1, but by the time I fought you I was up to boost 10)

I wasn't relaxed, nervous puts it right I guess. I raced on B front and C rear, but still was seconds off Greg's time , guess he used softer tyres.

I think there were some small errors, did you guys say I didn't score any points until San Marino and that Ben drove his first race?

Very nice broadcast enjoyed it alot

Oh gawd

You managed to get my embarrassing moment on the broadcast. Dropped a wheel onto the grass, slided too far and, as I knew Samuli was a bit too far away to get me, decided to drive through the pits in order to avoid a crash. And it wasn't a drive through like you guys thought that it might have been

But I happy you mentioned that I was coming from P17 on the grid to finish 5th

But next time, I seriously need to be inside one second of Greg, for example in qualifying(Not to mention it will be very important at Monaco). It's getting really embarrassing for me to be so far off, in both Q and R

hey be quelle soiree ffuujjj!!!!!

J ai pris un départ de fou de 5 eme a 2 eme , (si la 1ere courbe n avait pas ete celle ci j aurai bien tenté de me manger un Siebert aussi , mais bon apres m etre mis a cote de lui j ai prefere sagement me replacer dans son aileron)

etant l objet a nouveau de multiples micro lag ( toute la course ) a la fin du 1er tour sur la ligne de départ je m ecarte de la trajectoire et laisse passer Martin en esperant qu il ira chatouiller notre cher leader pour peut etre me permettre de les "accrocher" . Mais Martin en décide autrement et prefere aller faire une petite balade bucolique , je repasse et la me dit " toi mon ami maintenant si tu veux etre devant , faudra me passer sur la piste . ce fut 3 tours tres intense avec de la grosse bagarre c etait vraiment bon malheureusement pour lui il ira planter son oignon dans le mur des stands .

puis apres comme vous pourrez le voir sur le stream , j ai passé toute la course avec un " chien enragé " accroché a mon aileron arriere grande bagarre avec mon cher oncle ( mais mon dieu qu il m a gonflé )

sur le stream a partir 1h01 min vous pourrez assiter a l une des bagarres les plus virile et belle entre Anders et moi ( au vu des commentaires en live elle a l air d avoir bien chauffé et plu a nos 2 commentateurs )

puis a 7 tours de l arrivée du a des pneus morts et un mauvais moment choisi pour trafiquer ma mixture , je perds la 2 eme place au profit de Dadou .

malgre 200 l embarqué j ai du faire la course qu en mixture map 5 ( et deja 3.20l au tour ) alors que tous mes concurrents ont roulé a 10 il me semble ( la conso de ce V12 est élévée ) .

Un ENORME BRAVO a Ben et Antoine qui ont fait un boulot de malade au niveau des commentaires et aussi de la qualité du stream


superbe course Gui , il etait juste impossible de te suivre hier soir

ca me fait mal de dire ca , mais grand bravo a mon satanas d oncle qui a fait une course magnifique aussi ( la prochaine fois j aimerais bien que les roles soient inversés pour voir si tu fais toujours autant ton malin )

Well done Anders for this awesone battle together

bravo a tous

mon 1er podium sur ce mod acquis avec beaucoup de sueur

Not much to say about my race. Starting with full tank (220L), I couldn't do the full distance with boost 10 so after the first few laps I switched to boost 7 for ~40 laps, then went back to 10 until the end. I could have made the full distance with the super soft tires but pitted just to avoid any troubles with used tires. What can I say, I think I had a great setup and I loved the track (yes I like chicanes ). Monaco will probably be another story.

Congrats all finishers and point scorers
Pas grand chose à dire sur ma course. Je démarre avec le plein (220L) et boost 10, puis descend le boost à 7 après quelques tours car ça ne passait pas en conso. Vers le tour 45 j'avais assez d'essence pour finir en boost 10. J'aurais pu faire toute la course sans changer mes super softs mais j'ai tout de même pitté pour éviter les mauvaises surprises en pneus usés. Que dire d'autre, je pense que j'avais un super setup et j'aime beaucoup le circuit (oui j'aime les chicanes ). Monaco sera probablement une autre histoire.

Bravo à tous les finisseurs, aux 6 premiers et à Antoine et Ben pour cet excellent broadcast.

It was a matter of only not making one or two mistakes and the points were in my grasp. Had a diabolical pace during the entire race; I had the feeling that I was turning qualifying laps (of course I wasn't ). My concentration was at 200%, but God of Simracing wanted me to finish 8th again, so that'll have to do it

Thanks guys for your positive comments about the broadcast. It's a pleasure to read. Thanks.

I also saw a bit of the broadcast later and I liked it, even though I didn't understand everything. I can't however identify the two commentators, who was the leading one and who the one who made the occasional comments?

leader : Antoine de Mautor , occasional ( and perfect ) Ben Paulet

So I guess Ben was the one who screamed

No wonder I wasn't that quick, when people are on the softest compound for the race!

It was my 2nd points finish after Brazil btw, and Ben has already started at Brazil for Leyton House. You might have made a mistake on the broadcast, but I wasn't sure. But I was able to understand quite much, still better than having to try French myself
