Le pass du mal n'est pas bon..

relis les 3 posts au dessus peut-être...

I'm here

eh meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... plantage de ma partition d'amorcage. Reinstallation depuis un ghost...sauf que cela ne reconnait plus Nascar 2003. Hop vite le CD...bing.. mon lecteur de DVD HS.

Quand la poisse ne vous lache pas

allez double poisse. Je reussis à trouver un vieux lecteur qui traine, je reinstalle tout et je me dis que, comme d'hab, va y avoir du retard. 18h01 c'est bon... connection...grid full or race started. Là j'en ai vraiiiiiiiiiiment ras le bol

I lost connexion 2 times so decided that was enough and didnt come back.
Anyway, i hated the track and the car, so lets forget it and move to Brands Hatch.

Damn damn damn... Instead of shutting down NR2003, I just retired... Damn damn damn damn!!!

Ohw that's a tough one Gil . Too bad you were in the winning pace I reckon.

Had a great time guys, met my goal of making it to the end.

Hard track, bad setup... retired too early but i avoid a nightmare
Sorry.

I can't believe I did not win that one . Easily the greatest disapointment in my simracing career... I did do my best to lose it I must say, spinning a handful of times and colliding with about every car around at least once. Apologies to all in this respect, particularly to Antoine which I sent spinning twice early in the race, and to my dear Philou whom I hit pretty hard while lapping him ...

Besides my mistakes NR didn't help me - I took a 30-second penalty on my first pit stop ("dangerous pit in" ) and it took me three tries before I could reconnect after my disco. I also had one more pit to do compared to Antoine which added to the handicap. Still it was one of the most fantastic races I ever ran, 3h30 of duel with Antoine that went down to the wire. I did my last pit 20 laps from the end and rejoined 12 seconds behind Antoine. I had fresh tires and half a tank of fuel, so was very fast, even clocked a 1mn21s1... I caught Antoine three times in these 20 last laps, but screwed up badly each time. He did not and deservely won this race - great job mate .

Grats to all finishers, see you all in Brands .

Comme je te le disais hier soir Frank, tu es le vainqueur moral de cette course, mais Antoine est un sacré adversaire aussi et bravo à lui.

Pour notre accrochage, ne t'en inquiètes pas trop, il n'y a pas eu de casse sur ma voiture. Les dépassements sont compliqués sur ce circuit sinueux.
A vrai dire je ne savais pas que c'était toi d'ailleurs...

Ma course avait commencée par une incursion hors piste, un peu "aidée" par je ne sais qui dans le 2ème virage... Suis reparti dernier... Mais je suis têtu donc petit à petit je suis remonté au classement, aidé encore mais à mon profit cette fois, par les erreurs et les abandons de mes adversaires, jusqu'à la 4ème place.
Manu a parfaitement paracheuvé ce résultat en conservant cette position jusqu'au bout.
Nous avons fait de bons relais tous les deux. Encore une bonne course pour notre écurie.

Nous nous rapprochons du podium

Merki Phil . Bravo à vous deux, encore une belle course de votre part !

Effectivement, j'ai essayé de ne pas gacher le bon travail de philippe

apres les ravitaillement j'ai pu reprendre la 4eme place, que j'ai gardé sans trop de mal jusqu'à la fin malgré une penalité de 30" dans les pits.
Comme prévu, on a pu tenir notre rythme de 1'24" sans faire d'erreur.
Cela ne nous permet pas de lutter pour le podium, mais on profite de toutes les defaillances.
Trois belles courses où on s'est bien amusé .
Si on peut dire vu le niveau global.
Peu de voitures, mais quel rythme en course

Bientôt arriveront quelques circuits qui devrait être favorable à la mercedes. On verra bien.

A brands hatch je serai seul, philippe etant absent.
J'essayerai de relier l'arrivée, si le depart se passe bien. Je suis limite en fps, alors pas evident en paquet. On verra bien.

Franck et antoine.
J'ai regardé les résultats.
Philippe ne cours pas pour aston martin, et moi pas pour spice

lol en effet . Je pense que c'était un test d'Antoine pour voir si vous regardiez bien les tableaux tout ça

Sérieusement, je vois pas de coquille??

Very hard race.
My teammate again found a reason not to drive. Some time ago I reinstalled OS on my laptop, so on Saturday jusy before the race installed GTP.
Started rather slow without any setup with only 1:34 in qual, but race was long (too long hehe), and I did 1:21.3 as fastlap. No chance to get Antoine and Frank, only thing I could do was to be best of Saubers
Grats to Antoine and Franck with well-deserved podiums and my sauber teammates with good speed and finish

Amazing race for me !

Managed a PB in qualy which gave me 2nd spot behind Brendan. Took a good start, but Brendan pulled away quickly while I tried to open a small gap to Frank, Gil and Guillaume. Then Frank caught me up and spun me twice, as the Mazda was much quicker in the tights turns... I made a good first pit stop, and rejoined in the lead as Frank had a penalty in the pits.

Brendan and Guillaume had already retired, so it was a 3-way battle for the win btw Frank, Gil and myself. Overall, Frank was quicker but he had to do one pit stop more than me. In the closing stages of this gruelling race, Frank on fast race trim was 2s faster than me, as my front tyres were completely worn out. Eventually he did a mistake 3 laps before the checkered, nearly collecting me in the process, and I just had to cruise to the finish and enjoy this great victory ! This was really one hell of a race, 3 hours and a half of intense fighting on a very twisty track !

Grats to all finishers, especially to Larry who did a great job for his first race with us, well done mate

I won't be racing at Brands Hatch because I will be off to Belgium to attend the Spa 1000km race, but I hope there will be more drivers than at Jarama, because 10 is a bit short for such long races. Come on everybody !

Results and standing are up to date, and we have a full replay of this race

lol j'ai corrigé ma poule

I was very happy to be in visual contact with Aleks for the third place. I think I even took him the 3rd place shortly after a mistake he made after pitting (not sure).

But it was clear that he had pitted and not me.
Also, I let him pass me by safely because I know how faster he is than I am.
No regret .

Hello again all ! I haven't had enough time to drive these beauties so i missed the first two rounds. I still do not feel comfortable enough to finish the races. So I guess i'm going to miss this one aswell. Good luck all
