Live coverage will commence around the time of warmup start

David Jundt didn't you have the same issue entering the server last week in USAC?

1. I am not racing USAC.

2. I didn't have the mod installed.

3. I did not attempt to enter the server that day.

So nope, wasn't me.


EDIT: I heard server was re-started several times, yet it always displayed "race" as session for me. Worst easter ever

Sorry for the accident with the third of the race. I looked in my mirrors too and I missed my braking. My first retirement in F1. I was not really very well for this race. May be it was better not to participate ... Really sorry and disappointed.

Yeah, THANK YOU MICROSOFT ...

... for reminding me FULLSCREEN, that Updates could be planned as usual, without the chance to cancel that s*** and throwing me out of the race.

Car felt great, Thank you Jonatan for your setup, really worked well.

Now i'm gonna drink my a** off

thinking about finishing in a good position is not the best idea at turn 3 Was a nice time battle with Jacob

Nevertheless first time i made an own setup which worked well. In Qualifying i was a little off my best time and started from 17th. It was a bad start and i lost some time due to that in the beginning. After the first third of the race i was in 8th chasing my ATS teammate Jacob. There was a steady gap of 10 seconds, but perhaps we would have come close together . In reality i lost concentration as i said at turn 3 and spun when my rear wheel touched the grass. A little bit disappointing, but i can feel a progress in this series.
Grats to Jacob  and all other point finishers.

It's one race, Emmanuel. You can get right back on the horse next Sunday at Jarama. Don't be discouraged.

I know ... and it is a game but ... very disappointed ...

In addition, trains with me the third of the race at this moment ... I do not know who it was but I'll find out ...

Unhappy from Qualli session, aliens destroy some good laps when i was with negative on 2nd split although they go from pits, hey must overtake , it is little unpolite


Race, good start and then i dont understand why everybody must gain as much position as possible o colde tyres and when there is no room in front of us, the race was 70 laps, then i lost control on 2nd lap and hit the wall, the suspension was hit but i can do laps like without this, only steering wheel litle to the left on straight


and then someone going frmo pits hit my back, I hear on radio there is only puncture on rear tyre but the back of the car was nearly completly destroyed and the engine died after a while

A tough track this one. The Ferrari was running well around 9th & 10th position. I cut the chicane and decided that I should give my position up so I let Ray Riddall go past then for the next laps I was trying to catch back up to Ray. After a while around the back of the track I changed down the gears too quickly and the car spun into the barrier knocking off the rear wheel . No chance to do a Villeneuve as the car would not move on 3 wheels. Race over.
It would be great to see someone faster in the Ferrari and the Brabham.

Great drive for Greg! Championship is even more interesting now, if that were possible!

ANTHEMS

WINNING DRIVER


WINNING CONSTRUCTOR

I spent a lot of time to prepare for race. I tuned also some stable setup for ferrari which was a little bit different for me. The times was good but in the race i burned all the chance in 10 lap when i did any other stupid mistake when i lose a control and hit the wall when i was tenth. The similar like in monaco. Oh my good.

It was my first 1978 F1 race, as anyone can easily notice by the lap times...

The only possible tactic was to be careful, trying not to mess up the fastest, always giving the way..

Just wanted to finish. I did not hit anyone, not even in the first start, but after a few laps someone crashed up in front of me ... I had to get away... went to the grass...and everything's gone. It was that or hit hard in a car in the middle of the track...

Hope to have a place in Jarama, trying to realize (better) how this interesting mod and F1 cars works...

Congs to the podium

There's only one word to describe this race - exhausting. All three starts were pretty much identical, i got to P2. Then it was just about dealing with many lapped cars which created some risky and unpleasant situations. I tried to switch to "full attack mode" with some 20 laps to go, but Greg was incredible. When i managed to chase down a second or two, i lost it during lapping backmarkers and he increased the gap even more. Fantastic drive  Then i got really wasted towards the end, made some smaller mistakes and one major one in the penultimate lap. I'm lucky that it didn't cost me more than those 10 seconds. I'm not 100% happy with my performance, but it's definitely good to earn some points again after two stupid mistakes in Long Beach and Monaco. See you all in Jarama.

Results and points are up.

I don't have to say really. Very lonely race from lap 10 or so. Nice to see that Jan was fast in the ATS, he gained on me slowly but surely until he DNF'd.

I guess 1 point is better than nothing. At least I had a safe race after the initial restarts.
