I was nearly happy with q time with this slow and confortability lack car,
start of the race was today little beteer but then cold tyres and outer line in left turn before long straight make their wark and ended on gras, losting many positions, then i gained a little, had long battle with Roman and then when i was chasing someone of racer i melted tyres so then it was only worse and worse, and finaly when i thing that 14th place is at home, 3 laps from end i lost end after last turn and lost rear wing
big frustration , only leting faster cars past by , no real racing (only the few laps with Roman)

a weird connection lag dropped me after 200 mtrs back on the grid how the hell that happend i just dont know but first laps were laggy mud almost took out my teammate, sorry for that, then after a couple of laps the tires began to work and i figgerd a fast setup in a short time which i could do a possible top 10 anyway i clipped the curb somewhere at the ballsack corner ( Jason knows where that is ) and ofcourse the rear was sideways then a mclaren tapped the leftrear, tire went flat and car was pushed in the grass trying to go upside down and bounced from left to right side of the tires check that in replay :
no need to sit in the pits for 90sec driving a bend car so lost cause

Had a bad entry into the event but thanks to the help of you fellow racers and some quick-fixes on my end, I was able to take part.
My Racepace was looking promising and wasn't using up the tires so were hoping for a good event.
Qualified better than I thought I would so was very satisfied with the situation.
The race got underway and kept out of trouble for the opening few laps but on lap 13 or 14 I took a bit too much cerb in the 90 left with a crest in the middle of it and I span. Sadly I had people right behind me so made sure to get the car stopped and was hoping everyone would be able to avoid me but Didier was as unlucky as I was and he hit my rear left, he loosing his wing and me ending up with very derranged Suspension
Drove a few laps trying to find out weather I'd be able to finish the Race and in the end decided to give it a fair go. Without the damage I'm certain I'd be up for possible points as I was keeping up somewhat with everyone ahead, had similar pace to Jay Riddall (sorry for possible miss-spelling).
But the damage made the car very nervous and generally ill-handling but I did a 28.1 which was my best Race pace lap ever around Anderstorp trying to keep ahead of David Jaques when he came at me on new tires.
Generally frustrating event but at least a step in the right direction finally finishing a race with the wayward M26...
Thank you to everyone and sorry Didier

If you are scared entering a corner, you are pushing to hard, if you are bored entering a corner, you aren't pushing enough, if you hit it perfectly, it will be better than love

No problem Jonatan...that's race.
Impossible en effet pour moi d'éviter la Mc Laren, arrêtée en pleine trajectoire......et aprés 2 mn dans les stands.....ça c'est vraiment trés long !....j'ai repris la piste 21eme avec le volant pas droit....puisque la suspension en avait semble t'il pris un coup aussi.....50 tours avec le volant de travers, c'est pas simple même si on finit par s'habituer.
Lointaine 13e place donc, alors que j'étais 6eme en début de course et avec un bon rythme. Juste avant la touchette, j'avais quand même laissé passer par prudence quelques furieux, me disant qu'on se retrouverait plus loin dans la course....ça aurait presque pu finir dans les points cette histoire...mais on ne refait pas l'histoire

Driving the Surtees TS20 this time and its slow. 21st to 14th on lap 1 that was a good first lap for me. Running 13th for a few laps until on lap 30 I was being caught by Jonatan and exiting the 1st gear corner I got wheel spin and unexpectedly the car turned left into the wall. Race over. The tyres felt ok and I was still lapping at the same pace so I was expecting to finish this one.

Merde alors, on croyait tous que l'ours t'avait tué ...
Quand est-ce que tu réinstalles ton putain de volant?
Salut vieille branche Je suis dans les parages, un tout petit peu dans les coulisses ici, mais peu probable que je re-roule avant 2017 je pense. A part une endu chez Benny d'ici là maybe ?
En tout cas c'était super de mater la course hier, j'en regarderais d'autres. Sans être admin ni pilote je n'ai plus de scrupules à encourager mes pilotes virtuels préférés ! "Vas-y Vincent bouffe le !!!"
