Behaviour on track
- as for all HSO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.
- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.
- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.
- Shortcuts : If a driver gains a position after shortcutting a turn, he is required to give it back as soon as possible. In the case where a driver would not do it rapidly, a 30-second penalty will be added to his total race time. In the event of abusive and intentional shortcutting, severe sanctions will be applied (up to definitive a ban from the league). To make sure you never shortcut a turn, try to always keep two wheels on the track.
- Respect the red light at the end of the pitlane.

If this time, I don't make error about the date , present tomorrow. I'll broadcast surely to begin test on our youtube channel. In a first time, only my cockpit driving view with my eventually trash talking, but if I'll crash or bore me, I'll continue the broadcast as a classic one, with TV views.

Unexpectedly, I had fun! Thanks Alan for chasing, unforutunately, I misscalculated the fuel, I neded about 0,5l to leave you behind me
Gerard, sorry for spining you, I was sure you saw me entering that tight space, I was positioning myself for next turn, but somehow everything went wrong. I planned to give you back position, but Alan came between, and you were droping heavy, so I just continued to push.. sorry again!

A track of constant cornering is not a good one for a Holden. Still, proper touring car racing! Had some tight battles, too tight at some cases (sorry Richard), and in the end, I had fun. Not too pleased with the result, but I blame that on the car.

Soirée sympathique, avec un bon départ qui me permet de grappiller une à deux places. Les 5-6 premiers tours étaient cools, avec de la bagarre devant moi, mais je n'arrivais pas à suivre la cadence. Du coup je vais finir me retrouver un peu seul, pendant un petit moment, puis à force d'accumuler les petites erreurs et les grosses, Didier finira par me rattraper. On va s'échanger nos places grâce aux bêtises de l'autre. Merci Richard pour l'organisation.

Well.... What an event, and what a lucky skunk I am... (For a Reference, 3.31 into this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNOn63T56dg )
Managed to hit a PB while on Qualifying and got onto the 3rd row of the grid which I was very happy with considering the waywardness of the car...
The Race got underway and I managed to get a resonable start, nothing special, but it was good enough to get by others up to 2nd place braking for T2 and then all hell broke lose.
Because of the cars tirewear and the fuel needed to get to the end I had a massive lack of pace in the opening 4 or 5 laps which I had hoped to be able to work my way through and still be close to the top drivers but that was not to be as I got shuffled back to 7th or 8th by the time I had the pace to be competitive.
Set my sight on Jacobs' rear bumper and a few laps later I was nudging it in the complex but I were unable to find a way by. Meanwhile Jan and Yves got by me while I was trying to find a way by Jacob and Jan respectively.
It all ended up in a ding-dong battle for 5th overall (4th in class) which lasted for many a laps before it settled down for me at least as I found a way by both Jacob (which by the way was the move of the race for me ) where I was drifting it after trying to get the undercut done and just about, probably because Jacob didn't want to go side by side in the double left, got ahead into the double left.
Then set my sight on Jan who I am fighting in the championship and we had a massive battle, lasting, in portions, throughout the race, only ending just after the final corner of the final lap.
Was interesting having to manage the lack of grip (not even a scrap collector would agree to take them for no cost when the race was over... ) while trying to attack and/or defend, but also really good fun
Overall very happy with the result and event in its entirety, thank you very much to everyone involved

Hé Benou, super début de course dans le peloton, opportuniste et tout Eh, tu fumes pendant la course ? La bagarre avec Didier avait l'air intense, sympa les gars de l'avoir en quelques sortes "mise en pause" pour nous laisser passer
