Are there anymore free cars for this race?  We have a newcomer who would like to race Nazareth.

Philou has the #40, but he's not been racing for ages (he still has issues ?). I guess this one is free.

He was on the forum yesterday. But yes, he hasn't raced in a long time so if I can't get a confirmation from someone else, we'll go with the Tecate 40.

Steve Parker hasn't confirmed yet, either

Bruno will be driving Claudio's car for this race; he has confirmed his absence.

** OFFICIAL ADMIN ANNOUNCEMENT **

We allow road soft tires in this event; for those who might not know it, they give a qualy advantage.

Alberto, thank you for the setup, I found it very usefull!!!!

If today's race were a board game, I'm guessing this would be it:

Well that was it, misunderstood what the car in front was going to do and hit the wall laterally. Apologizes to Pascal if the incident affected him, think not as it was only a light touch. On to the next one

pas de plaisir = retrait , je me fais de plus en plus vieux

Got some damage, and with worn tyres I just lost it. Bummer. Was fun racing on this track

Even right before quali I thought of quitting as I hadn't gotten the hang of the track. Somehow I ended up quite high up on the grid and then in the race itself everything just clicked and I actually had fun racing. I thought I messed up after pitting one lap too late, I was sure everyone went past as I sat there getting fuel and a fresh set of tyres but to my surprise I still found myself in 4th place.

I chose not to interfere much when JP and Richard got within striking distance as they like points more than I do, I was just happy to run my own race and hopefully get a decent finish. Alas, I caught Raul and Pascal, who were already god knows how many laps behind, and from experience knew they won't give way - unlike everyone else on the grid tonight - so I tried to get past at the first opportunity instead of trailing them for a number of laps. Sadly, I spun and ended my rather promising race by doing that

Blown engine

Was going very well but then i got caught out by the yellows.

Great fun and i hope to be on the grid at Houston

That was very fun! Looking forward to the next one. Good racing everyone.

I want to appologise to Pascal, I was sure you were much slower on the T3 as on the backs straight, I wouldnt even start to overtake you if I thought you are to speed up! I hope no harm was made to your car, since I got a blown tyre..

great race after all...

I had a golden opportunity to win, but on lap 219, as I was going inside a car, he closed the door as I was there. It was very close, but I didn't RAM him.
No matter how many warnings you give, you just can't race cleanly with some people

Sorry gentlemen, i'm think i'm the driver who make the first yellow Flag out.
after 3 laps, Rocky is coming back for the back of grid
i think i let him pass between turn 1 and 2 but on outside line i think i lose control at exit of turn 2.

left rear Wheel and rear wing are broken  ==> end of the race.

very sorry for the driver i caught with me. Lee Simpson my apologise.


On qualification / fast laps, i managed to go drive safe, but in race condition i was not confortable with the setup and never drive with other drivers around me.

And Nazareth is more difficult than last oval Michigan were you can drive on 3 or 4 lane and track is wider.
here a Nazareth short track, any mistake sent you in the wall or other drivers.


But after all, no regrets on this race, because around 10:15 PM, i got a shut down in my house because to much power consumation (i guess).
So my computer and my internet box connection would be down at half race.

Before shut down i was connected and after 132 of 225 laps

only 8 drivers still running on 19 starters
we need more practise together on oval course.
