Round 7 - Gold Coast Bulletin Century - Surfers Paradise [Nov 4th]

Lap 10 : ooh la la! lol!

Ca m'arrive de fumer pendant les courses, mais pas sur ce circuit, pas de moment de relâche assez long. :cowboy:

Sinon jusqu'au vrai départ, y'a un mégot qui traine.
Vi, c'était sympa notre bagarre avec Didier, on a repris après votre passage. C'est d'ailleurs cool quand ça se passe bien comme ça, et que ça repart comme si de rien était. Very Happy

Merci Richard pour l'organisation.

C'est exactement ça....on s'est arsouillés en faisant chacun des boulettes plus ou moins grosses...et on s'est bien marré ...

....On se calmait juste le temps de laisser passer les leader pour ne pas les géner, et c'était reparti :banane:

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!

Good race Raul unlucky with the fuel, after I spun on the first lap thought I was going to be running on my own for rest of race but really enjoyed our battle :top:

Ma course ? comme Vettel au GP du Mexique ! :aie:

Impossible de partir avec autre chose que des "very hards", course très délicate donc !

et toutes mes excuses à Jacob ! :doh:

Every race has its own goodness, battles, etc. Now, I managed to set the car up to be fast and handling well. Not often I succeed in this, I was quite surprised with the result as well.

During pre race practice, I felt I could be in top 3, didn't know, how much spare the competitors have in there public PB times.

The qualifying went well, I even left 2-3 tenths in the best.

I hoped for not being dragged at the start of the Race, but I didn't want to do any stupid, I accepted that 4th place in the 1st lap, I thought I had 45 laps to do something with the two Bimmers and the Holden (or Rover? scratch

). In 5 laps I could take the lead, and started building up some gap. After ten laps, I expected higher fuel consumption than average, then I started to do short shifting, that was enough to keep the distance. Small battles were there in the first 4-5 laps, while I was marching for the lead, but to say honestly, this track was a heaven to the Mitsu, if it was set up well. Smile

In the last 2-3 laps, I was a spectator of a battle of 3 cars, Richard C, Jonathan, and someone, and I just watched them fighting, and was not closing on them on purpose to not bother them with flashing blue flags. I had enough gap by that time, to do so.

So, I'm happy with the win :first:

and hoping for such great races on the remaining tracks. Moving up to 4th in the championship, looking forward to fight for 3rd or keeping 4th!

Thank you gentlemen for the race and the great organisation! Smile

@ Ben: Merci pour le "stream" !! , nice to see you had some good battles

"Tschüss Ben"

@ Race: Had the Pace to battle for Class win, but made to big mistakes at the first corner, the Rover was absolutely unpredictable in that, because of the "egde" on this track

congratulations to Peter!

Do you know more about the bad issue with your friends on youtube? If it was a problem of country copyright, or something else? Maybe I have to change something in the settings?
I know you watched the stream because of "Tschüss". Thx for that. :frank:

No, its no setting problem, just our Public-Media System In Germany.
Most Music Videos or Gaming Videos with background Music get banned because of copyrights. Livestreams also don't work at the moment, as far as I know. I can watch the video immediately after you finished streaming.

Could easily be solved with a Firefox/Chrome Plug-in (Unblock YouTube). Perhaps I'll give my friends the advice to use that.

I'm currently uploading a video of my race to Youtube as well (have uploaded a few races in the past as well but it has slipped into the misty parts of everyday life but I think this round is a good way to get back to uploading a few races again). I will add a link in this post later tonight or tomorrow so keep your eyes open if you want to watch it Smile
