Goddamnit! lost connection!!!!!!!!!!!! , same as on the production at the last race! i want to fucking race not this! now its really starting to piss me off

I will just say one thing : lenient admins generate dirty drivers. The driving standards have never been that low.

Uff what a frustrating race

Never had the pace. Maybe i should have accepted Richard's setup after all, because the car was a handfull to drive the whole race, and not really that fast.

Messed up the start, hit Alan in the back (sorry) fortunally without consequences. Can't say the same about when i hit Jose in the back! I'm really really sorry i was lapped by him, then Jonatan started flashing his lights when i was entering the braking zone, it distracted me for a split second and that  was it


better days shall come

Results are up

2 things first.

1: I'm terribly sorry for the two nudges José, we have different driving styles and I didn't accomodate for it because I wasn't thinking ahead of time

2: I'm sorry Richard, I was sure you knew I was coming or not so I decided to flash my lights just in case but, as you mentioned, my timing was really bad, sorry to both you and José for that one


As for the event itself, it could have gone so much better

I miss-fueled, should have had 85 litres, not the 78 I put in before the start, but at least lesson learnt for all the other events.

A lack of pre-thinking saw me hit José twice, once to send myself to, almost, the back of the grid and then once to slow us both up by about 6 seconds.

I also made other errors while trying to save fuel to try to avoid having to pit.

So all in all, 6th here was a good result, but without everything that happened, I can't help but see a possible top2 slipping out of sight


Still, well done everyone, this was a difficult round, this track is very unfortiving for the tiniest misstake.

What a race! I had a honest hope for top 5 in qualifying, but after my second timed lap, I found myself in traffic, so no opportunity to improve (2-3 tenths of a sec could have been improved). But after the reconnaissance lap, I realized the fuel wont be enough for the race (I started with 50 litres, 2,5 litres off after warm up lap).

Just a short question: I'm already on the grid, and still have 1 mins to pit closing. Can I exit the grid to pit (by pressing ESC button) for changing in the setup and leave the pit before its closing? Because after there is an additional 2 mins to reach the grid.

So I started, and I realized after a few laps - due to the gear ratios - there is now way to save as many fuel as needed to last till the end of the race. Instead I started pushing like hell, to keep 7th place. There were a major mistake, and after half race I pit to fill 8 (EIGHT) freakin' litres of fuel no tire change, back to track, 12th pos, pedals to the metal, but I managed to do it. There was a great battle against Mr. Coxon, absolutely fair defending.

I enjoyed it, even with the tactical chaos I made for myself. WOuld have been better to be able to push without thinking of saving fuel, but in this case i think max one more position I could have been gain. Top 5 had a very competitive pace. V8 is V8 in hell as well. Yeah, and It's great there is only one week we have to wait for next round!

Cheers

I enjoyed the battle too Peter, just a shame I lost out too you

Yes you can press escape as long as the pits are still open

Whoa, P2 again.
I've been lucky to miss Jonatan / José at the first Lap, sadly I breaked more than Yves, so he passed me.

After that I couldn't find the speed on the very hards to match Yves, but all in all I had a save drive and no danger of the guys behind me catching up.

@JP
Don't know what happened, but I've seen a lot of fair driving again.
Also lapped cars where very nice, although it's amazing to lap a Jaguar, who has to slow down at the straight not to overtake me again ;-)

Can't wait for next week, don't know the track, but I try to keep P1 in championship :-P

Someone I paint a target on the car before the start ?.
That was just what I thought during the race.
Good jokes aside the truth that after everything that happened to me during the race, can feel satisfied with this third gotten since, as repeatedly and due to the rough I got, I was very close to not finish the race and finish with the car badly damaged, although to be honest I do not think that there was much changed the outcome, since Yves and his car here were intractable and Marc was also very strong.
Nothing now wait to see what store for us the next circuit.

Cheers




¿Alguien me pinto una diana en el coche antes de la salida?.
Eso fue justo lo que pensé durante la carrera .
Bueno bromas aparte la verdad que después de todo lo que me ocurrió durante la carrera , puedo sentirme satisfecho con este tercer puesto conseguido, ya que en varias ocasiones y debido a varios golpes que me dieron , estuve  muy muy cerca de no terminar la carrera y  termine con el coche bastante dañado   , aunque siendo sincero no creo que hubiera cambiado mucho el resultado final , ya que Yves y su coche aquí eran intratables y Marc también iba muy fuerte.
Pues nada ahora a esperar a ver que nos deparara la próximo circuito.

saludos

¿Cannot find any "Marc" on the entry list?! 😁

Pardon me wrong , I meant Matthias



Perdón me equivoque , quise decir Matthias
