Round 6 - Zolder

Well not that bad for me, good start then watched ppl in front abandon ...

lap 14 : I'am lapping Alejandro on the straight before the last turn but surprisingly he doesn't lift his foot from the accelerator, thanks to my great experience in simracing ( ) I let him pass and thankfully managed to avoid his majestic "balai" ... I'm sorry but blue flag doesn't mean you have to fight the guy lapping you by braking late

Middle of the race I'm in 2nd place and the "car" gets lighter so harder to control, I loose my rear wing on a stupid crash and then another ... and surprinsingly mange to finish 4th

see you guys on Monaco, sad to leave the beast but now I'm going to play with the big guys

I saw that in the replay and said to myself "OMG that's some crazy ****

This time i was lucky and could finish the race. I had an incident with John. I was behind him and hit the brakes too late in front of the chicane. I tried to use the wall for additional braking force. But I could could not avoid hitting his car. I should have selected the wall on the right side of the track. Sorry for that. I am glad that both of us could continue the race with minor car damage.
For the rest of the race I switched my brain to survival-mode.

Sorry to seem so aggressive Tiago. I will explain more clearly my perspective. At Jarama I got a good start and passed by 5 or 6 cars and then came by you I felt at a good enough speed to be clear enough to pull over and take the position and a slow approach to the first corner. At the last race I just panicked when I saw you coming up so fast to that corner where I was having problems. I was actually trying to move over to give you room at exactly the same time you were going for the inside. Anyway it all happens so quick sometimes. Sometimes its better to be a little more patient when coming back through the field after an early spin. At least be patient with me.

Yes Uwe the big Merza will be free for Monaco, but some other "better" slow cars will be too (Ensign N179, Shadow). You'll see when i'll create the topic soon

Then i would choose the N179 which has a quite better handling than the f...ing mercario


Thx in advance and be aware of the red ensignmonster in monaco :raclure:
uwe

hello Uwe !
I lend you the Ensign with some sadness
I won't be there for Monaco, even if it's one of the races I didn't want to miss...
unfornatly, I can not yet be behind two steering wheels at the same time

take care of the car, it's very sensitive

thx very much - i will take care of the car - maybe i can catch some points for ur team
my first training session was good for a high 1.26 - i think this is ok for the ensign

greets uwe

I'm glad that things are all ok. I understand your perspective and I must say to you that I have patience in those situations, especially when I'm not taking part in the full championship. At Jarama I thought you saw me before T1 but after the crash I realized that after Ludo's car dissapearence, you might thought that the track was clear and when you had your car in front of me there was nothing I could do anymore, but in the video it's visible that I tried in the last milisecond to steer away from you. In here as I said in the first post I thought you were going to battle with me in that braking for the hairpin that's why I was caught by surprise with your early braking. Once again I felt bad for it and I'm sorry that I threw you out of the race. For the next ones I'm already aware what to do. Thanks for understanding my position also.

Cheers

Scheisse.... Am I that slow? I'm still at low 1:29.... What have you done with that Ensign? Feed it with hormones?

Last year I was in 1'28"3 and Gui 1'27"5 with that car, and with 28"8 I was 7th on the grid.
So I guess 1'26 "is ok" as you said
