Peace and love brothers.  

Bel euphémisme ... c'est pas un peu plus difficile, c'est totalement impossible.

Server launched, qual in 50 minutes   

I have a problem with my RAM, which is slowly dying since several months, and today I found out that I can not run rFactor without having massive FPS problem, even alone on track and with low details   It worked well yesterday though.

I'll try to find a quick solution for tonight, but except ordering new parts, I don't know what else I can do   

So tonight if I can not race, I'll watch if all goes well from the server. Frank should be there though.

And later I will check randomly the replay for the chicane so be careful with that   

mais de quelle chicane vous parlez tous la ?   

Droite-gauche vers la milieu du circuit, en montée. A priori on peut pas mal couper la.

  ah bon pour l instant a chaque fois que je me suis planté la j ai perdu des paquets de secondes , mais merci pour l info   

L'info c'est surtout de faire attention à ne pas couper trop justement ^^.

Deux roues sur la piste minimum, comme d'habitude quoi

Tu as combien de barettes ? Si tu en as plusieurs, essaye-les une par une. Avec un peu de chance, seule une sur les deux est défectueuse.

Malheureusement c'est déjà fait tout ça   

Et les deux sont aussi foireuses l'une que l'autre

peut etre forcer le voltage (ram) préconisé par constructeur dans bios, parfois par défaut c'est pas bon ( si c'est pas déja fait)

 I am very, very sorry for the inconvenience I caused everyone this evening.       During the qualifying session, I was going to share my setup with Frank, and I hit the "restart weekend" button by accident   I've been hitting that button in practice a lot, so it must have been muscle memory or something; the setup button is in the same vicinity. You can imagine the horror I felt when the server said "PASSED" -- not to mention the utter embarrassment.

Frank pointed out that the server should not have been set so that anyone could restart the weekend, and that is true, but I still feel awful.  I really hope everyone accepts my apology and won't hold this foolish mistake against me.
My face is still beet red over here...

You guys at Scuderia Centro Sud are a cunning bunch.

I know you're trying to be funny, but quite honestly, that does not help.  

It's bad enough it's going to take me forever and a day to live this down.

J'ai oublié d'assigner un bouton pour couper le moteur   
du coup ça chauffais pas mal et j'ai fait échap pour repartir des stands
et en repartant derrière tout le monde ça m'a disqualifié

1 tour en 2 courses !!

Loosing control of the car in the first lap ... well ... that is stupid.
Now I'm really depressed.
I apologize to all who took harm by my mistake.

Stupid American   

No worries Jason, shit happens. Made for an exciting close to qual.   


Arrggh Vincent, you owe me a RR suspension     Car was very hard to drive after that and the first time I went a little off on the first fast right on main straight the car snap spun and went to the trees.   

I am happy with the weekend though. I struggled a long time learning the track until I realized the black marks were NOT the line to take.

Thanks for the great race HSO.

Time to go practice for the HSOA SCCA race for next weekend.

Note to all, the SCCA race is at normal HSO time next weekend. Would really like to see more Muscle cars entered. It is at Riverside which is awesome fun.

Race posted here.

direction et roue tordue a cause des " inconscients" du 1 er tour , deja que j ai du mal alors la je me trainais encore plus qu a l habitude donc echap , a quand des sanctions   

bon déja le volant du g25 lache hier je remplace par un vieux thrustmaster
je me suis fait arponné par des lapeurs un peu trop pressé et il me semble un lappé qui revient sur piste puis ne se laisse pas lappé je n'ai pas bien capté qui a fait quoi ça se trouve je suis aussi en tort je matterai attentivement le replay demain
30 tours on essaiera d'aller plus loin la prochaine fois
 
en tout cas merci à l'orga comme d'habitude le mode est vraiment top   

Until I check the replay for a couple of things that interest me I'll just say my race was looking good after a bit of a shambles early on until I stupidly blew the engine on a downshift

Again, not helpful.  

That was, quite literally, the worst race I have ever run. Thoroughly disgusted with myself.

As I was ready to crawl under my bed at race time, my nerves were absolutely shot.  In the race, I made mistake after mistake after stupid m-fing mistake    until I made the worst mistake possible, missing my braking zone because I was losing concentration, and running square into François after he had lapped me, causing us both irreparable damage.  I am very sorry François, and you have every right to be angry.

Starting to think this mod may be above my skill level, at least with this crowd.  We'll see how next round goes, but if it's more of the same, I'll gladly make way for someone who won't be cocking up every other lap.

je pense que le blew the engine on a downshift est la plus grande peur de tout qui roulent avec la boite en H

I am just joking with you buddy. You've beaten yourself up enough. Life will go on.   

mes excuses à Marc Gerard et Peter sur la touchette à la derniere epingle

Jason don't be so hard on yourself you have improved so much since you came to HSO
at least your heading in the right direction I  seem to be going backwards ....  


Don't know what happened to me it seemed like i got out of peoples way and then i felt someone
clip me from behind but i could not see anyone   and then ended up in the trees
which i could not get out ..   

I blew my engine after about 10 laps.
I'm sorry i push somebody (Mike Barresi i think) on turn 5. I brake a the same point than usual but it was too late. I try to go around on the left but i hit the right rear wheel and get off the track.

Sorry for that.
