Round 5 - Montreal [Oct 30]

hi, i'm so sorry, i forgot completely this race.

This Mod is so much fun if you can get it right  

Had Many great laps with Ben .Jonatan ,Jason ,Philippe towards the end tried really hard to catch
Gerard who i think might have been struggling with his Tyres i was really enjoying the battle and was closing could really have done with a few more laps ...
Was Quite happy with 7th place .That was the good bit ...  

The Bad bit is i seemed to be really struggling on the brakes and it would seem that i was in the way more than a few times so sorry for anyone who's race i spoiled under braking ...  

I Think i may have been running a little too much wing as even Jonatans little March
was quicker than mine  

I Was not sure but Ben did you push me off the kerb as i thought i might have been stuck but then i got going again if you did then many thanks for that

Congrats to Greg ,Yves and Frank for the Podium but also Simon nice 5th in the Boxer ...  
Congrats all finishers  

Course de merde

Gui je n ai pas du tout compris ce qui s etait passé dans le 1er virage et comme je ne peux pas voir les replays sur ce mod , si j ai une part de responsabilite dans ton TAQ tu m en excuses , de ce que j ai vu dans mes retros , j avais tout juste pris l avantage au moment d aborder  le 1er gauche , je ne sais meme pas si on s est touché ou pas et apres il m a semble que le vibreur t avait envoyé en TAQ :oops:mais tout ca n est que mon impression de l interieur de mon cockpit

De ce que j'ai vu de derrière Greg, à priori c'est plus la faute à pas de chance qu'autre chose, mauvais timing quoi  

Bah oui t'as une part de responsabilité, disons que si t'avais pas été là ça m'aurait arrangé quoi
Tu me laisses pile la place à l'intérieur, je monte sur le vibreur et zip. Mais bon j'ai respinné plus tard dans le premier tour, pour ensuite mourir dans le T2 au 3ème Ca va être tendu à Mosport !

ha yes, now I understand this strange action, I was thinking Ben crashed on you, even if it didn't seem possible... that surprised me

It was awesome battling with you mate  

I was running 2 wing on the rear and was blasting through the corners and the braking zones but you gained, from the chicane to the next chicane before the last hairpin, in general 4-6 tenths every time but I then gained back under braking and cornering  

My race was filled with a lot of fun and a couple of scary moments   

The start was nice and clean, no contact and very nice racing from everyone around leaving a good bit of room

After a while I had caught up to Carl, Ben, Jason, Gerard and Simon and I did my best to hook up to the back of you all and get past, not easy when there are long straights after most corners here  

Had a few brilliant laps with Ben and then Carl with me trying my darndest to keep up on the straights nearly killing the engine just to give me a bit more speed so that I would be close enough to get past in the curvy 2nd sector of the track  

After a few laps and I got past Carl and Ben and then also caught Jason who was running very well and was putting up a good fight until a small misstake from his part made for an opening which I gladly took and then set after Simon in the other Boxer.

Caught Simon and had some great battling going on and got past for a bit before I turned in a bit too early for the quick Sweeping right hander in S2 and damaged the rear suspension when I hit the outside barriers. Made for a difficult ride and had one spin which held up Gerard for a bit, sorry mate , but which then turned into a nice battle with Carl for a few laps before the last 10-ish laps was a cruising section to try and bring the car home which was crabbing more and more for every passing lap  

 to everyone for a brilliant evening with lots of fun     

See you all for the next round and I'll be looking forward to another brilliant race with lots of fun   


Also, congratz to everyone, this was not an easy race to survive  

Practice little and I went out to turn quiet. The idea was to finish the race. sorry Jason, I always leave the race line for pilots going to get me around, and we crashed. I had fun every day I like more this mod. Thnks for all

Had about the kind of race I expected.  I did a full 33 lap test run on Monday night, just to make sure I could get through the race without a carbecue.  I was locking up way too much at the time. Carl suggested I shift my brake bias a bit to compensate, and if there had been more time before race day, I might have, but I was reluctant to screw with the balance of a car I have really come to like   The start was surprisingly uneventful, and I ran as high as sixth before some of the consistently quick ones began to assert themselves. As the race wore on, my tires got very hot from late braking, so I started making tiny errors here and there   Thought I would finish the race in 10th, but was astonished to find Mr. Martinelli slowing at the hairpin! 9th place again, 12 more points and back in the top 10   I'll take it on a course this confining and demanding. Thank you HSO for organizing!
On to Mosport!

Bonne petite soirée  

Le circuit et le mod étaient parfaits, seuls manquait quelques pilotes habituels de fin de grille pour que je puisse batailler un peu plus longtemps pendant la course

Je remercie Marcelo pour m'avoir tout de même tenu compagnie jusqu'à la mi-course  

Bravo au podium et aux finissseurs  

ça va être chaud pour le titre à Mosport
