Round 3 - Archie Scott-Brown Memorial [February 12th]

  

Great race for me, Very please with 2nd   Had a good battle with Francois and was hoping to catch David, But too few laps and a small mistake on the last lap cost me.

Well done all the class winners    and unlucky Tiago, But chin up, Still plenty of races left   

Thanks again admin for organising    See you all at the next one

I'm happy to finish a race for a change Braking for the hairpin was horrible with the car darting left and right, elsewhere it didn't matter because you throw the car in anyway. Sorry for the bit of a mess I caused by spinning early on.

Enjoyed that a lot - thanks guys in Class B for some good dicing, track really stretches a Mini!    Looking forward to Goodwood already.

Well 1st of all.. one word for my mate Tiago, who was put out of the race under stange circumstances... (I haven't seen the replay yet)
I am shure he would put a big fight again, and probably win.
As for me, I had a fairly calm race, allways controlling the distance between me and Vladko (I guess) and then with Richard. Well done Richard, you fought well man, Cgts.

I wasn't expecting this but...   

Congratilations to all the finishers.
Thank you HSO  

This unfair and simply monstrous bad luck! The first time I could really compete with cars of its class and for the first time in four years of use for rFactor, I got a flight simulator on the Desk. This is incredible!
Net rFactor with only installed the mod(Historic) and the incredibly unfortunate incident!  
Despite the overwhelming disorder I firmly decided to bring the car to the finish of the race!
Thank you guys for the great company! Nothing will prevent to get pleasure from racing with you!

Also I apologize for the delayed braking and contact with the red Cooper(Samuel Muscat)!  

je demande un controle anti dopage concernant la vitesse de pointe de la cortina d Antoine      

bravo a toi , petite arsouille sympa mais impossible de te suivre en ligne droite meme en aspi

désolé frank pour l'accrochage

Désolé c'est une chose mais il aurait surtout fallut attendre sur le coup... Par ce que franchement défoncer salement quelqu'un comme ça et tracer comme si de rien n'était c'est vraiment le genre de truc qu'on ne tolère pas ici. Je t'invite à regarder le replay et mon comportement au même virage un tour plus tôt. Je fais à Yves le 20e de ce que tu me fais et je l'attends quand même...
Après derrière j'aurais pas du y aller à coup de portières dans la ligne droite quand je t'ai rattrapé et je m'en excuse, mais franchement j'avais la haine.

Sorry about the nudge into hairpin towards end of race Matthieu, Had I realised I had nothing to loose/nothing to gain staying behind class B battle, I surely would have. I wasn't keeping track of how many laps were left. I'm glad though you didn't appear to loose any positions. Hope I didn't prevent you gaining any.
And sorry about start...Couln't see lights (cos there werent any....forgot it was a flagman, so had to rely on those infront. Now I know what it is like to try thread an aye of a needle through a camel

If you was'nt expecting this i'm beside myself   

The Abarth was awesome here although i will expect the mini to be back for Goodwood ...   

I Had a great start for a change and went from 18th to 11th on the 1st lap I seemed to make lots of places up as the quicker cars fell of the track all around me just kept it smooth and could not see what happened to Sergio at the start , after many laps I could not see where my nearest GpB rival was as i had 1st Frank behind me and then Ben ...

Eventually when they both took me i could see Sergio in my mirrors about 5 seconds behind .. Luckily it was not long before we where lapped by the Bigger class cars so that meant one lap less for us i crossed the line about 2 1/2 seconds ahead for the win but I Think if the race had gone on another couple of laps Sergio would possibly have won although we where both nursing are engines towards the end of the race ...

So Happy with the win that makes up for 1/2 points at Brands  

Well Done David and Antoine ...Congrats all finishers  

Satisfait de ma 1ere course avec l'Abarth, elle est joueuse   
Je me fais un peu "enrhumer" au départ mais ensuite je suis resté au contact et je fini en queue de paquet   

Merci aux organisateurs   

A la prochaine   

Race results and championship standings updated on the site

Very fun race, as usual with these cars   

In qualy I couldn't make it past my teammate's time, in fact I did the exact same   but he was in front on the grid. At the start a white Mustang in front of me decided not to go, so I found myself very far back in the pack, and a few corners later I was back in 9th, as everybody was having a war all over the track and I could go safely through   

I was now 3rd in class behind Greg and Jukka, and grabbed the lead on lap 3 when they touched at the hairpin. Jukka disappeared, but Greg didn't, and a great fight began. He was faster overall (0.5 a lap), but I had the straight line speed. The fight was pretty good and balanced, and I eventually manage to get in front and build a 2s gap when he made a minor mistake exiting the hairpin.   Thanks to Alberto for waiting for a proper straight to overtake me, might have saved me the win   

Good to be leading the series   

Grats to David and Carl, cyall next time

PS : Vladko, that sure was an impressive beginning, I saw that you were quick, but you were also spinning all over the track all the time. please be more careful in the future

That was me. I couldn't explain what was wrong with my car for most of the race until I watched the replay and noticed my brake lights permanently on. A quick check to the control pannel reveals that my brake was off calibration, so I spent most of the race with some 5% brake on and a car that was evil to drive  

At the start I had to rev the engine much more than usual and got too much wheelspin, plus I had to steer left to leave room to Patrick who was hooting past on a very narrow space. Apologizes for pushing you off track, fortunately it didn't hurt your race.

The rest of the race was a fight with a pig of a car   and got to the finish line deservedly dead last in my class. I don't really have luck with this championship

It's nothing, don't worry.  

great race in ClassB, the Abbarth was very fast, it was hard to follow them.
I enjoy one more time, it was War in the end of race, i loose a place on the line   

Merci HSO pour l'organisation, c’était top une fois de plus.

je m'en excuse de ne pas t'avoir attendu franchement désolé ...

Simply awesome race , congrats david and Richard ,
i put in my update with a reworked TDF with all effects on, what if... stunning track
could last longer had so much joy ,   





BTW what goodwood you guys using for the next one
i have made one with all effects on , SMOKE and dirt is what we need  
its ready so Frank or Martin pm me for use

Bon, Samy, j'allais en remettre une couche après avoir vu le replay (premier réflexe : "je m'écarte hop hop il s'est rien passé" au lieu d'essayer de remettre Frank dans le bon sens  ), mais bon je vois que tu tu es désolé alors je vais rien dire de plus, fais quand même super gaffe aux prochaines, ce genre de pilotage, c'est très très loin des standards locaux.  

Bon je dis pas bravo à Frank non plus, peu convaincant dans son imitation de Stefan Mucke   

           

I Have a couple of New Mods i would like to try for Goodwood   

Commend the Staff for the championship and the other participants.
For me it was a crazy race, the start was a mess and the first laps very difficult, there Carl escaped, from there pull to death trimming slowly, but my engine was also dying and the end I could not reach another second position keeps me in the fight for the championship.

regards

Ahhh the long tail arbarth Carl, Looking good.  

Its a shame I could not make this round. Just not enough time to get ready after I decided to run. I am really looking forward to getting the Cortina into the fight at Goodwood. See you there

A mont tour de ne rien dire sur la conduite un peu triviale de certains.
