Round 8 - BARC International Gold Cup [May 28th]

Screengrabs

Awsome race. Thanks HSO for hosting.

Sorry to Ben for the tap on the exit of the corner at the end of the back straight before the hill. You slid right in front of me and I had lifted off but that Abarth can go crazy with violent moves and so I just braced and hoped. So sorry man. At least it didnt put you out of the race.

Got a great start but got hit and pushed into the pit wall by someone but was still in 2nd place in class with Mr Titz ahead Sergio behind mixed up among the faster class. Crazy few laps like that until Sergio made a mistake and I did too which allowed Titz to pull away.

Whens the new season start. That was brilliant.

Excellent screen shots Jason! Thanks to the organisation for a splendid series; I may not be up to speed most of the time but have enjoyed the challenge of these cars and some great tracks that suit the period, so pottering round at the back has been no real hardship. Chucking the car off into the scenery on occasion, on the other hand, was annoying, but all my own work generally speaking. Naturally, the one race where I was on for a top five finish, I crashed on the last lap! This one was a LOT shorter than that!!
Love the way things are done here, will be back next time there's a series that runs on a day / time I can commit to it, all the best.

nice screemshots Jason well done   

une course sous tension alors que le titre de champion se joue . je pars en pole , prends un bon depart et me maintiens en tete de la categorie C , puis sur le gros freinage en bas de la descente une groupe D se rate completement , debout sur les freins pour eviter le contact , il n en fallait pas tant pour que Antoine Jukka et Ben me laisse sur place dans le bout droit suivant . a ce moment la le titre est perdu ... 1 tour apres je me débarrasse de Jukka et mon petit Ben    me voila 2nd de la categorie C  a 4 S derriere un Antoine des grands jours !!
apres etre revenu sur ses talons il m a fallu environ 5 tours pour en venir a bout , il était sacrément coriace l'animal      on a eu de belles passes d armes,  a chaque fois que je passais le bout droit suivant ou le freinage suivant il me reprenait       
puis apres un dépassement ,tres vite il y a eu un gap de 3 S entre nous , puis il a fait une erreur et d un coup l'écart est monté a 20 s , fin de course en gestion pour décrocher la victoire en groupe C et également le titre de champion BRSCC65    

well done all finishers ,  thanks HSO for organisation  

Well, I've also had the download trouble like Alberto, so I had less time to practice this time   
So I've done a good start as normal, passed François and hanged into 2nd position, then the great battle started with François Remmen, great one! I've lost concentration, he passed me, and I found myself stuggling with my own mind and motivation for the next laps. I've settled down and started to gain and gain till I was finally there for the final battle with François, but when we where passing the backmarkers, I had a huge mistake   ... I've tryed to pass Vadim on the grass side, I supose he didn't see me, so... BANG         
I think this was on lap 15. Shame on me, and I have to say I am very sorry Vadim, I thought you were watching me coming on the mirrors   
Anyway, congratilations to all the participants in this championship!
Thank you HSO

No problem Chris.   
But the next time, don't apologize during the race.
2 possibilities :
You estimate that you're guilty then you wait your opponent. Or, you think you can't avoid the fault, and you continue, but you can add an apologize comment on the forum after the race, because we are nevertheless gentlemen.  

Well, Great Championship this!!!, I've had tough battles with Samy and Carl and has been great, for the last race I lost concentration and made ​​many mistakes but in the end was funny with Carl.

It has been a pleasure to race the Championship thanks HSO.

Congrat to the Winner and all participants   

It was a pleasure running against Carl   

Salut.

Don't have a big story to tell in this champ, with the excpetion of Vadim's misinterpretation at the first round, vladko's over optimistic manouveur and that scariing 4 points at the penultimate round in brands hatch. Other than that, some great fights for pole with David. I think I won the champ despite reading Greg's post   , and I want to thank all for the fair fight throughout the entire champ. My adice about the Stang: it's really easy to catch it; don't tune to oversteer too much, just that much while braking so you can keep the oversteer through the corner for max exit speed, other than that, it's really simple to keep it under control, it warns you a lot before giving in.

Great champ HSO, thank you

read the rules mate .

"Only the 6 best results out of 8 possible will count at the end of the year. "

The championship without a doubt can be considered a success! I like many other participants have received huge pleasure! And first of all thanks to the wonderful company of pilots HSO and decent organization of the championship! A huge thank you to the administration of the portal for the excellent work, that we appreciate very much!  
However, the last race showed that I remain very problematic pilot! There were some annoying incidents that have taken significant inconvenience to other drivers. I would especially like to apologize to Carl! I kept you because of the CTD. The incident with David I still do not quite understand, I need to watch the replay of the race.
Obviously it would be better if I take a small break, rethink your driving style, will once again analyze errors and resolve technical problems, but about it later...

And now the main thing! Congratulations to the best in class and of course the winner in the absolute! Well done guys!  

Yes Greg has won the championship with 5 victories and a 2nd. Tiago with 6 victoires and a 3rd scored 2 less points.
In the end, a 2nd place for Tiago either in Brands 1 or Snetterton would have changed the champion (even with the half points in Brands 2).

Forgive my ignorance but isn't 6 wins better than 5 wins and a 2nd place?   

If someone could post the results and update the standings, that might help clear things up.   

The things are clear.
44 points is less than 46. Greg scored the points of 5 wins and a 2nd, you scored the points of 5 wins and a 3rd (= half the points for the win Brands 2).
Should you have finished 2nd at Brands 1 (instead of 3rd) or Snetterton, you'd have the same amount of points, but the tie breaker with the number of wins would be in your favor.

  Once again please forgive me Tiago for the incident in Brands!

lol, no worries Vadim. The thing that ruined my championship was really those half points at Brands 2

As I said above, I couldn't edit the results, because there was a problem with the xml report.

But the difference in the two points speaks including about my undisputed fault. However, nothing could be done and I'm very grateful for your correct attitude to the situation!

Greg is a very worthy champion but i do have to feel sorry for Tiago ..   

Class B Champion  = Sergio
Class C Champion  = Greg
Class D Champion = Tiago

In my eyes all worthy Champions  

Well Done all participants and thanks for organizing Guys

cette histoire de points est dommage pour Tiago , maintenant c est le reglement et il faut faire avec , a de nombreuses reprises le reglement m a déservi comme par exemple y a 2 ans en F5000 ou ma voiture ne pouvait pas finir certaines courses sans devoir ravitailler ...

maintenant que les choses soient claires , au vu de ma saison , je ne considère pas avoir gagner le championnat de maniere illégale ou " voler "  !! mon absence a la 1ere course est due a une déco ... de plus et c est d ailleurs sur ca que je me base , mais au vu des pilotes qui étaient dans la categorie C et ceux qui étaient dans la categorie D , le titre me semble tout a fait mériter .

Car et sans faire offense a quiconque , il est bien  plus facile pour un bon pilote  de dominer " facilement " dans la classe la plus rapide et sans vraiment de  " concurrence "... ( je me repete acune offense )  que de se retrouver engluer au milieu du paquet dans une categorie inferieure   avec des JP ( meme si absent sur certaines ) , Antoine , Yves , Vincent ,  ou alex Thomas ... car croyez moi il faut se les " farcir " ces gars la et c est loin d etre des " rigolos "    

en resumé content d avoir gagner ce championnat   

Bravo Greg,
  
je suis fiers de toi

Results and standings finally updated on the website  

I did it manually so if there is a mistake (ie wrong car) tell me. Because of this, class wins and poles are not displayed in the HOF yet.

J'ai fait les résultats manuellement donc s'il y a une erreur (mauvaise voiture par ex) dites moi. A cause de ça les victoires/poles de classe ne sont pas encore prise en compte dans le HOF.
