I think Ben must be still a bit resentful about loss of French Territories lost prior to the American Cival War.

Get over it Ben, it is all in the past.

Can I have a red dragon on a white(top) and green(bottom) please. The said dragon facing to the left. It is only a matter of time

Man, that Putin-fella moves quickly

Quali - stupidly messy lap, P6 was welcome

Race 1 - forgot I had no brake temperature into turn 1...
Then proceeded to have an awesome battle for the win with Peter and Ricard
Absolutely gutted to have thrown it away at the last corner
Still, first HSO podium!

Race 2 - did well avoiding turn 1 madness, then proceeded to push like a hell and chase the leaders Then spin, car becomes a **** to drive with damage. Spin. Spin. Crash. Crash. Got fed up and quit

Not my best outings, either of these Race one I hit poor Gerard in turn 1; the product of not racing for a month and a half I'll bet   Race two started better, got up to ninth, but Richard hit in the sharp left before the Foxhole entrance (guess he takes that flat out, I have to brake). From there it degenerated into a comedy of errors. Spun out before the Karussell, then got nailed by a wide-running Ben.  That was enough for me. Hoping that things will go better at the Norisring, although I hate that @#$%ing track...

Race 1 was utterly fantastic! The slip-streaming duel with JP at the end was incredible, it ended with a photo finish! 4th my best result in this league yet.

Race 2 wasn't as great. Was shooting for a top 3 when I started driving like shit. Unfortunately, one driver that lacked race craft, respect and common racing sense got that place in the end. Cutting chicanes without giving back the position, wall-riding and driving like it is a demo derby should NOT in any way be acceptable.

 I'm so ashamed for that... after hitting you i was so angry with myself that i just wanted the race to end. It was so embarrassing. Sorry again. Awful driving from me.


It's a pity that it had to end like this, because the first race was amazing, great racing with Matthew, Peter, Kevin and JP.
In the second race start I was hit quite hard from behind and spun around. After that i ended behind you and the crash happened.

see you all soon.

I can't avoid you, you were right on my trajectory. I saw your despited look in your helmet, big eyes, open mouth, and thinking "oh shit".

Agreed Jacob, it was a great first race, it seemed nobody wanted that 4th place ! But it's great to have a nice and fair fight with someone you can trust.
It could have been a great second race too, I saw you were waiting for me but some guys spoiled it. Unfortunately, those guys are well identified, and it's impossible to have the same nice fight with them. At least I got to do my Jason Plato impersonation

Went three abreast with said clown (who was on the outside) into the chicane on the GP part of the first lap on race 2. Guess what? The c*** didn't give back the advantage he gained when he decided to cut the chicane - like you, I'm not impressed!

Looking forward to Norisring, I've hit a sweet spot with the setup so I'm out to claim my lost victory!

Merci Jieffe, pour la première manche. Du vrai bonheur en pixel.
J'espérai tant qu'on se refasse ça en seconde.

I did my preparation for this track so I had enough speed to fight at the front.

Q lap could have been a lot faster but a little mistake costed my deerly. Still 3rd is very good.

Race 1: Thanks to the late braking of Matthew I could take the lead in T1...thx Matt
After that I had a 3 lap long battle with Matthew who was driving like a possessed devil
I felt too much understeer during that 3rd lap and Ricard came back strong..I lost the touch a little bit but on the very last sprint to the finish I snatched 2nd from poor Matthew who should had won this one!

Race 2: Fist lap very chaotic with a lot of mistakes from the front runners. After the Karrussel I was back in 2nd but Balazs was already 6 secs away from me and (of course) untouchable for the remainder of this race. Not as exciting for me as the 1st race

Thx HSO and admins for a great racing night for free!

Back after about 9 months so was fairly good apart from spinning on last lap of Race 1 and trying to turn my car back around right as Ben turned up behind JF Bovy, sorry for the collision Ben I had not seen you. First laps eventful in both races as was able to get good starts and end up ahead of 6-15 seconds a lap faster drivers before ending up on my own for the rest of the race, lots of mistakes in race 2 but good fun, hope I can squeeze into another car sometime soon

No problem Alessio.

2 courses épatantes pour moi, la première avec Ben tout le long, propre et intense, la seconde encore meilleure, plus rapide et plus intense encore... et qui se termine malheureusement par malchance par un gros accident avec Sergio, il part en vrac, j'essaye d'éviter à gauche puis à droite, peine perdue, direction rail et abandon...

soirée excellente donc, à laquelle il ne manquait qu'une cerise
