Round 7 - Riverside Grand Prix [April 27th]

Great fun today! Scrapping with Jacob for roughly 30 laps over third position was some of the most intense and satisfying racing I've had in any series. I really expected to fall behind once the tires got worn but luck (and my power/weight advantage ) was on my side and delivered my first decent result in this series.

I really had Problems with my brakes this time, so i messen up on lap 2 an destroyed both left tires and suspensions.

After pit stop car was a handful, but drivable.

Some Laps later when Dann, Ray and Jacob wanted to lap my i tried to move out of the way and off track, but I've forgotten that massive hay barriers and destroyed my tires again.

After that car was almost undrivable, so i'm glad that at least no DNF this time

I finished my first race in F5000. Thx Riverside to have keep me on your asphalt.
Grats podium, and grats Jose and Greg, your battle seemed to be good.

I must say i enjoyed the race, didn't expect to be able to keep the speed with almost everyone else on the back straight. Had an amazing fight with Konstantin, it was really exciting until... A messenger on my PC decided to ALT+TAB me out of the game on the way to the back straight.. So that was a little bit unfortunate..
Anyways I'm really glad that i managed to compete in this race and i am glad i could finish 7th or 8th.. Well that's not so good for the many people that had to stop in the last laps because of e.g. engine failure.. Anyways what i'd like to point out was after the race, Greg more or less threatened to kick my ass out of the league because in one lap he spun in front of me after lapping me... I was a bit surprised by that reaction, and i just wanted to point that out.
Congratulations anyways to Jose for winning!

Greg can't "kick" anybody's "ass" out of the league. I would like to just point that out. Mind you, i haven't seen the incident (you are not streaming anymore either) so i can't cast any opinion about the incident itself.

Not sure what he said, but it is more than likely that you misunderstood him or Greg could not express in english exactly what he wanted. If there are incidents between two drivers, please clear it per PM among you (Usually works best) and if there is the need to log a protest, do so also per PM to the series admin. Thxs

Nope, i don't think Greg couldn't express it correctly in english, it was a very clear statement.

When i see the replay i thing his reaction is a bit exaggerated. Pascal maybe could clear the inner of the track to get greg the better side of the track, its true. But Greg could wait a bit and he could have all of the track free for safety overtaking. That as he go outside of the track after collision with Jose was his mistake.

OK thanks for the input guys, we will review the incident and the chat and decide what to do about it.

I am also locking this forum too for the time being while we look into the matter.
