NC - Rand Grand Prix [Jan 5th]

Race 1: hitted from behind by a Lotus, a miracle happens, car saved, race completed.
Race 2: knocked out very badly by another Lotus at 4 laps from the end, no miracle, car wrecked, race ended.
You can not make so, Mr. Chapman, your drivers need to be more calm on the track.
This message dont want to be polemic, but only educational, hoping that drivers understand the existence of other players on the track.
Be overtaked is not an offense, and it's not mandatory to overtake a driver in front at all cost.

lol I never said Jason almost crashed into me, of course he did not, I said he almost hit the Honda after he let him past. Because Jason posts this on the forum doen not mean it's true and something what I said Tiago.

Funny I don't see "Honda" anywhere in here, just a very general "us"
Next time be more specific or wait til after you've calmed down.

  Looks like Mike and Jens had a wheel banging session!

Probably a mirrors issue Peter. It makes it a nightmare for those of us at about Jason's speed (we be slow ). We cannot get a good feel for who is back there with the FUBAR mirrors. I rely on my GID track plugin to see who is coming but if you are in a pack it is futile.

I thought I missed all the bits on the road. Guess not! Needed a crowbar to bull the seat out of my butt. Sucked it in 2 feet.

I do not know what all those notices are about, Jens and I were never that close. My scary moment was the aftermath of Yves' spinning and others not being able to avoid him.

Edit: oh wait...that is after the race was over when I rammed Jens at full speed when he was stopped on track. His car clearly does not have enough red on it. Now the back end and cockpit are well covered

Getting stuck behind a backmarker car is part of racing. Also, it's never easy being laped in the twist sections. I would expect the car in front to let the door open, but not to stop on track for me to pass.

  

There was literally no more door for me to leave open.  I was all the way to the left, then had to turn in at Clubhouse.  In hindsight, if I had proceeded through Sunset turn on the left at an absolute crawl, all three of them might have got by at once -- but then if someone hit me because I was going too slow, we'd be having a different conversation.   

Yesterday, I watched the both races. I saw some crazy moves, sometimes dangerous. For sure, we are here for the fun and we like historic too, for sure we have adrenalin peak during race, and we like the good fights, but don't forget the gentlemen spirit. Caution to its neighbors, we have to keep that in mind.  
The race 2 was fabulous in front, thank you very much Tiago, Yves, Vincent, Mark, Peter and Richard for the show. Laps 18-19-20 were wonderfuls.  

 

Our pleasure as always   

Those 2 and especially the last race were pretty special indeed Ben...some of the best racing I have been in so far. Pure joy to drive with you guys

Joshua when you push out of the track someone , first you must wait him and second give him back his place .

I don't remember having such an incident with anyone - I may be wrong, but if I did could you please point me to the relevant point in the replay, and I'll take a look myself?

Pour Matthew il n'avait pas de connexion, pour Vadim pas de nouvelles...

On va rajouter quelque chose dans le règlement à ce sujet parce que ce n'est pas normal d'avoir des absents sur ces voitures quand il y a des pilotes non qualifiés.

My internet died yesterday afternoon, it didn't return until just after the 2nd heat was complete  
...such a shame, as it looked like it was a mega event!   

Merci d'avoir répondu, et de trouver un réglement !
  
Car derrière, il y a des pilotes qui se lamentent, et qui râlent de ne pas participer à la fête.....!

Mattew, je t'excuse, cela peut arriver !
