Dana and Mike, great few laps with you guys, the whole evening, even ended too soon, was worth it!! Thank you.

Besides that, Im a Dumb F#%k. Period.

Yes that was very fun Raul. I suspect Jan left "repair" on in his pits. He was there a long time and lost the chance for some vengeance from last race.

Other than the time I was with Raul and Jan I was mostly running laps alone or being lapped. Speedsters lapped nicely.

Still not sure where Greg hides the rocket boosters in his BMW.

Grats to the class winners and survivors.

that was a great race!

had a very good start, at the end of the first few laps i went from 14th to 9th i think, had some great (mostly short) battles!

only wasn't to happy with Timo's overtake, because i felt like he just shoved his car to the inside of the track while i was there, but there could have been a BMW sized gap there. and with my way of letting people lap me, really was having trouble with the TA2 cars, because i just shot right past at every straight, sorry for anyone i annoyed with it


i'm already happy to have made it to the ! 90 laps when having a week of not enough sleep was hard (downside of a school trip to France)

God damn I am so upset that never got to the finish line!
                   
The poor engine was not able to withstand this mockery!
Many thanks Jan for trying to push my wreck! Although this is somewhat contrary to the concept of realism.
However as usual I received great pleasure from the race! Thank you very much ALL! See you at the track friends!  
I apologize if my maneuvers have caused someone inconvenience.

And of course congratulations to the winners of the race! Well done guys!

Grats to Greg and Yves,i was holding 3rd place for first 13 or so laps,then the engine was overheating so had to back off for awhile,then spent the rest of race pacing myself and staying safe well done to all finishers its tough track in these boats

Results and points are up

Sorry for that. It was indeed on the border.

Timo

Too bad to be competitive, 20 laps was enough to bore me. I put the car in the pits, and gone to bed.

Pour une reprise après plusieurs mois de privations c'était pas top, il faut que je reprenne le rythme.

Je dois d'abord demander des excuses à Gérard et Jason pour avoir envoyé en tête-à-queue et percuté, l'un puis l'autre au tour 5 dans le premier virage... Désolé les amis  Vous avez sans doute abandonné par ma faute. Je suivais Gérard de trop près pour pouvoir l'éviter et Jason, parti en travers, je n'ai pas réussi à l'éviter... Gérard, toi qui me demandais quand je reviendrais courir, tu dois te dire que j'aurais pû être encore absent un petit peu non . C'est couillon on aurait pû se faire une bonne bagarre.

Je dois dire, sans vouloir chercher des excuses, que dans le tour 2 je me fais percuter par Raul qui m'envoie sur Jan qui m'entraîne dans le bas côté avec lui où on a perdu plusieurs places... J'espère que çà se passera mieux la prochaine-fois...

Bravos aux vainqueurs et aux finisseurs  

Et merci à Ben pour m'avoir aidé à me connecter et d'avoir eu les mots pour me rassurer hier soir
"Pas grâve Philou, c'est l'âge c'est tout..."  (fumier va )

Hi, had a brilliant race especially with Steve and Yves, I was faster in the coners but no match on the straights. I spent the last 30 laps right behind Yves and the last corner was the only place I could stick my nose in front given the room, so last lap, last turn I was up the inside and through, just managed to hold on for 3rd. Very fair and precise driving, fantastic.

Well done to Gregoire and Pascal

Bonjour à tous,

Course courte mais passionante.

Mon moteur explose au 8ème tours de course, ma 5ème vitesse était trop courte.

Bonne baguare dès le début, les places sont chères et les contactes sont violant.

Je retiens au loop une BMW qui je pense serait sortie si je ne lui avait pas servis de rail de sécurité, je reconnais que sur le coup cela ma un peux énervé, pourquoi ne pas attendre la ligne droite pour doubler vue que la BM était bien plus rapide.

Bon, c'est pas de la danse classique, c'est clair.

Merci aux ADMINS et bravo au podium, rendez_vous à la prochaine.

Ah, ok, je me suis demandé ce qu'il t'arrivait ! Super bagarre au début, Steve , et grosse pression toute la course, même si c'était à distance, je ne pouvais pas me permettre de faire une faute !

C'était super, Raymond !    Tu la méritais bien, cette 3ème place !
