| Raplapla, grippé, ce sera service minimum ce soir ! Le bon côté, ce sera une course sans prise de risque qui me permettra peut-être d'aller au bout ! (à moins que je gerbe au bout de trois tours !) | |

| Todays race just wasnt ment to be driven by me... After restart, and on joining the race, I lost my reelfeel, GID gave up, and FF was oposite, which made things undrivable.. I tried to pit to see if it can be done by the crew, but they were just to high to understand me Too bad, I was looking forward to this race.. good luck to the rest of you... I hope Ill manage to finish a race soon | |

| Learnt today that running over discarded car parts puncturing the tyres is modeled in rFactor....Ofcourse it is.!!
Had I realised at the time, I would have got away with a tyre change, but continued at race pace,and met the wall.
Tried to get it fixed, but on my next outlap, it wasnt enough. Sorry for half drifting on track. I was being extremely cautious. Although I had done enough practice to race under normal circumstances, but not enough with damage.

Pitted, went back out, and steering was canted 45 degrees to the left.. This was fun...can't wait til the next oval. Martin-thanks for the restart. Can we consider rolling manual starts for the future? | |

| Fuck that was a really horrible evening. Brake pedal lost calibration at qualy and had to start back in a bad place. Then in the race I was gaining positions when an error by Greg made him hit the wall, rebounce and rip my front wing. Pit for repairs and as I go out, bang! yellow flag and I loose 2 laps Start going my way up again and then pit on another yellow and gain more positions. But once back out, I get tangled with Matthias and Karel, and avoiding the first one I loose the trajectory and glance the wall. Suspension bent, and after a yellow that soon came, car was undriveable and spun around causing another yellow (Sorry guys). Your blocking at turn 3-4 was really horrible Matthias, you can't cut down to the apex like that. Had to slow so much that got almost hit on the rear by following cars. I'm really angry today, some things I saw made me really consider abandoning this championship, as much as I wanted to drive it. Some driving is ridiculous. EDIT: Forgot to add that after the pedal problem I had to do an emergency recalibration and the brake became a bit of an on/off switch with difficult modulation. Sorry for those who saw me sometimes lock in the pace laps, at slow speed the brake was too violent.

| I had a lot of fun tonight, and had a great race going, but a small misunderstanding at a restart gave dire consequences. Right after a restart, the yellow came out again, so there was a group of cars where about half were still accelerating and half was slowing down, and I was in the middle of it. Got tagged at the rear, and the car would not go straight anymore. A big shame, since I had probably the 2nd fastest car today. Austin was the only one who could pull away from me and I had the strategy under control. It was at least an encouraging night for me, looking forward to the next race. Hopefully it will be caution free. | |

I'm really angry today, some things I saw made me really consider abandoning this championship, as much as I wanted to drive it. Some driving is ridiculous. Alberto what situation it was? I had some problem with third car, similar situation, cut donw into apex of turn 4 and shaved from ouside or something like that...cant remember if it was that situation... btw. it was fun race...too much yellows but in green it was OK for me, some racing from time to time and finaly error when I was behid Aberto...pitty that I caused another yellow, but I am happy I was able to hold the car down and didnt hit anyone...see you in long beach (hmm...might be, we have a expected date of birth on 3/3/2015....so... :-)) | |

| First race here, great setup by Alberto (Thank you!), car was good and i was willing for a top 10 finish, but someone hit me in one of the restarts and the suspension broke down, leaving me walking . I just wanna apologize for any mistake that i commited. I tried to be cautious in the race and not to be in "risky situations", just wanting to finish without any major problems. ps: sorry for the poor english | |

Martin-thanks for the restart.
Can we consider rolling manual starts for the future? I think it was me. But you did that to yourself. Under yellow, if I went completely to one side of the road, you'd follow me there, which I didn't want. So I would go to the other side of the road, but you decided that you were going to follow me ! I tried to not be in front of you so you wouldn't rear end me, but you didn't want that. If you tried to not follow me like that under yellow (why anyway ???), you'd have had more time to avoid a situation. | |

JP I was not blaming you...and like you I was watching the guy behind me..and trying to opposite him... When it happened iwas down low and you were high...if anything I wish I had adjusted my brake bias.. I'm not accusing you, JP. You are a solid driver. I'll remember your advice...lets go forward.... | |

haha ok ! that was unfortunate I told my daughter I would race only one hour-and this happened roughly at the 55 minute mark-so it was timely.. But it really was so much fun today-my first sim oval race. And with Albertos setup ( ) I was able to do quite okay really... Kept heating up the outside tires, and car got quite loose at times.... But really...REALLY fun... Never thought I would enjoy oval racing.....BUT I DO!!! | |
