I don't know when I blocked in those races, but I did make some mistakes and caused an accident for Gui, which I am very sorry for.

You started on race 1 lap 1 by zig zaging and blocking in the first straight, when cars that were at least 20 mph faster than us trying to avoid you. I had one car hitting me because you felt the need to block the lane.

Sorry, I was trying to figure out where others were near me. If you remember, for some reason my center mirror was not working. I didn't mean to zig zag, I was not intentionally blocking. But if you call that pushing, shoving, blocking then ok lol. That was only lap 1, straight 1.

However, you did give me a tap in the hairpin at Hockenheim, which I didn't forget. But it didn't affect the outcome, hardly.

When ??? I certainly did not push you off track on the last lap like you did.

I can't remember what lap it was on, but you did tap me and it pushed me up the track and you went by. It was just close racing.

Now in the Caterhams, I never blocked you until the last lap. I did push you into Club on the last lap, but that was after you blocked me and then you started to slow down when I was right there.
I didn't mean to push you at all. I saw it as a racing incident. I pulled out, you blocked and slowed down for the corner and I ran into you. And when you blocked I tried to keep moving to the right, but you kept moving over also. What was I supposed to do?

Because I was braking for the f*cking corner ! It was the friggin last lap of a touring car race, I was supposed to let you by ?

I understand that, but did you have to keep moving over? Was I also supposed to give up?

Then you dive bombed me into the chicane. I kinda suspected this would happen because you had been dive bombing at lot in the race. I thought it was a cheap shot, so yes I blocked you all I could into Woodcote. If you think my driving standards are low, then look in the mirror. You retaliated with more force than my push on you, which again was not on purpose.

Payback is a b!tch, but I'm not done yet.

At least I know your standards now.

I admit I was closing doors in the first race, [...] so I took my racing line.

Well, for example, in the Caterham championship, I'm fighting with Gui at every race, and we never needed to close doors or push the other off track. But since I adapt my driving with the guy I'm racing with, I'll race even harder the next time you dare show up.

Oooh, I shaking in my boots now.
Sorry for closing the doors. But I never chopped you quickly. If you noticed, I stopped closing the door when I noticed you weren't on me. I appreciated that and so I stopped.

Thanks Ben for trying to get me back on my wheels but it was unfortunatly a lost battle and I had to retire

I was alone in race, I was bored and I saw you making the turtle. So I've tried to get you back on the wheels and when I saw Cyril passing near me, I've stopped my trials, and finish my race with him.

et moi qui pensait que tu reglais tes comptes avec un mec sur le bas coté ( je me suis dit en passant pendant 2 tours , bon sang il l a du vraiment l enerver car c est vraiment pas le style de mon Ben de ce tendre comme ca )

Me connaissant, c'est même surprenant que tu puisses envisager que je fasses une chose pareille. Foi de hippie
Mais ça me fait rire que tu aies imaginé ça. Ceci dit, il faudra que j'essaie de maraver un gars comme ça un jour.

je croyais que c'était la semaine prochaine , désolé ....

Merci Greg, pour la bonne soirée que tu m'as fait passer hier soir. Je n'avais jamais eu de fou rire au volant, tu m'as offert le premier, il m'a tenu bien 1 tour et demi, 2 tours à pleurer devant l'écran, avec le mal au ventre. Mon dieu, ce que tu as été drôle sur ce coup là. Tu annonces que tu vas être sur le toit à la chicane, et je te retrouve en plein salto-axel-octuple loops piqués retournés.
Encore merci, c'était bon ton trick.
Sinon pas trop de souvenirs de course du coup.

Vous vous amusez bien tous les deux

Ca va on rigole bien. Surtout quand il nous sort un trick spacial.

Last lap....... A Corolla Spinning infront of me in the last chicane. For a split second thought my race was going to be over, No worries about the bump Pierre, It helped me get going again, And Ole, Maybe if you wanted to get out of the way, You should have just accelerated into the gravel trap you were facing instead of spinning around.

Indeed, I was just panicing, I might have thought you guys will drift to the outside of the corner, so it would be safer for me to get to the inside, if I thought anything at all at the moment. It was full panic. Really sorry, and glad nothing bad happened! And that your heart didn't stop!

Pour ma part, je présente mes excuses à tout ceux que j'ai touché/poussé hier ... ce n'était pas une bonne soirée pour moi !

ps: ben, tu pensais passer premier en faisant l'inter entre le mur et moi en cat au départ de la seconde course ? A un moment je ne te voyais même plus, me suis dit c'est bon il a freiné et bah non, je te vois sur le vibreur huhu

Great evening yesterday with a bad finish...

Qualifs good...3d(class c) behind Miller.

Race...good start..for the most part of race i'm in 2 place until the spin of Ole..i became 1 in front of Roy...but i made some mistakes and they catched me...long amazing battle in 3 for few laps...but i am too angry because in the last laps i had the necessary speed for to pass both but Roy went to the grass causing an accident when he returned on track(not voluntarily surely)...the unlucky Ole and me went off track....but of 3 i had the worst end...i finished between the wall and the hill losing too much time for returning on track while they immediately resumed their race.

A friendly question for the admins...when a driver causes an accident(involuntarily like in this case)must have to wait or returning places or not?

Roy was first..then Ole and me...all too much near....Roy taken the grass and returning on track making spinning Ole that i hitten after...all chain...


this was my bad fortune








then here at corner Roy and Ole to recatch

Je crois que le classement ne m'aime pas, j'ai 11 points mais je suis au milieu de ceux qui ont 9 et 10 points

Tu te trompes de personne, ma voiture est bien plus jolie. .C'est le pauvre Carl que tu tasses sur le côté.

Course BTCC, Je prends un départ moyen, mais je reste au contact du gruppeto de tête. J'arrive à passer mon concurrent de Class, Jonatan au T3, et j'accroche l'aspiration d'une grosse class A. Ce qui va me permettre de créer un petit écart avec mes poursuivants. Je fais le reste de la course avec l'ami Carl et sa grosse Sierra.
Very nice race with you Carl, a good understanding between us with the headlights to let you pass or to say sorry for tiny bump at the chicane. I like to drive with you, it's always nice and fairplay.

En Caterham, c'est comme d'hab du grand n'importe quoi pour ma part, à base de grandes glissades, de blocages de freins, de mises en travers. Mais c'est rigolo. . Désolé Philou, dans la première course au freinage de la chicane, on est côte à côte, et je viens te bumper sur le coté, je crois que j'ai calé 2 vitesses d'un coup, et la voiture est partie sur toi.
Dans la seconde, je fais mon hippie en voyant Jonatan faire la tortue. Mais ce sera en vain. alors je termine avec Cyril qui me montre des tricks de conduite.

Les premiers virages et les premiers tours de BTCC étaient bien sympa avec un peu de poussettes par derrière au départ... Pas grave.
On s'est bien amusé avec Olé et Mathieu pendant 2 ou 3 tours à se dépasser... Puis Mathieu est passé à l'attaque et s'est échappé et moi j'ai lâché Olé... Résultat, j'ai passé le reste de la course tout seul car trop lent pour les uns et "trop rapide" pour les autres... Course chiante... C'est comme çà.

En Caterham, dans la première course, peignée avec Ben qui me bouscule (aucune délicatesse ce garçon... ).
Je me loupe à Buckets, je coupe à travers champs pour revenir sur la piste, je laisse passer les gars (Ben et Laurent je crois) mais je prends une pénalité de 10secondes d'arrêt aux stands... Pas très sympa avec moi rFactor...

La deuxième course était bien meilleure, avec des belles bourres avec Carl et Laurent encore, s'était marrant, merci les gars

Bravo aux vainqueurs scratch et classe et aux padiums

Grats HSO et à la prochaine

Ouais, c'etait bonnard. N'importe quoi mais genial.
J'ai fait l'un des plus beau dépassement dont je puisse me souvenir.

Merci encore pour le fun que ça procure.
