Round 11 - Hockenheim (Jun 19th)

After looking at the replay I must apologias for running into Mick at the start. I instinctively jinked left when the Lotus span in front of me, I was unaware we had touched and I didn't have any damage.

As for the race,on my own after a couple of laps, 6th place was more than I'd expected at this track with this car. Would love a go in a GE car sometime.

Well done to Richard, and all finishers.

Your car has ground effects Ray

While it was not a great success in 1977, in 1978 the F5A, modified to implement the principles of ground effect demonstrated to excellent effect by Lotus, allowed the former World Champion to score several good results. The best of these was a competitive second place, after fighting with Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve, at the team's perennial happy hunting ground in Brazil. Fittipaldi finished the year with 17 points and the team, now known as Fittipaldi Automotive, came 7th in the Constructor's table – one place ahead of Emerson's old team McLaren.

Only benefit for the non ground effect cars is they are a lot kinder to their tires, the ground effect cars put massive pressure on the tires and they overheat very easily.

My front tires will disagree

(Okay, bad setups don't count)

No probs Ray....I had no damage either.............until I piled into Gerards spinning Lotus at Ostkurve.............and I had space to avoid him too......sorry.

superb live coverage,

battles was great, better show than real last F1 race (BAKU)

and finaly i was there seen often too,

Ben's camera work during the Dana Schurer-Jan Titz battle royale was his best yet!!!! 

And as always, expert commentary by Alberto and Richard!!

I have to say this season which is my first in HSO was my training. Unfortunatelly as i see i have tested only the hotlaps because when i have taken off on the start my mind is totally changed and i have made a mistake after mistake. My ride is unconcentrate and very nervous so i cannot keep the pace like in the practices. I think i have to test with AI because i need a traffic to learn the behaviour during the race. After the yeasterday race i'm very frustrated out of my performance. Maybe i forgot all about the simracing during my long brake. I dont know.

That is interesting to know Richard, just wished I knew where the button was to implement it with this car.

grats to Ben , Alberto and Richard for the broadcast
