I will overtake you anywhere, especially if you are braking earlier than me!

ready to race

For just this race, or the rest of the season?

BUMPITY BUMP

I am pretty pissed, I have a Win10 - Logitech DFGT conflict again, and it looks that Bills armada has taken a big initiative in suppresing gerilas...

I took a brake after loosing some nerves, and still no progres in solving the problem. My wheel is recognised as Driving Force USB and can be ussed just for that bump-cars in Lunaparks!

Ill try to solve it until the race start, but if somebody takes the BT and promises a win, Im willing to pause (this one too).

Arghhhh...

please dont steal teh 100m signs before corners, they are too much important when there is no other things to use as reference points

Arghhhh...

Do you have a G25/G27? I had this problem too. Just follow this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_Be93hjIe8

Jan, its a DFGT, it seems this problem occure every time my win10 gets updated..
It just stops to recognise my wheel as DFGT, but as DF USB instead...

Im thinking of throwing everything out the window (10) at the moment....

The steps to fix the problem should be the same though. You should look for the Windows 10 drivers and install them manually and tell Win10's automatic driver search to go **** itself, you know
That's also how I used to fix my previous wheels, including my G27 that I have today

Guys

no racing for me.

No result at all.. I started with re-instaling windows..

night.

Will the race be broadcast?

Yes Bob

Bonne qualif, bon départ, je pense tirer 110% des capacités de la Ligier, enfin, j'utilise 110% de mes capacités pour essayer d'en tirer le maximum !

Après avoir passé Ray et Jan au départ, ils me repassent sans problème dans les longues lignes droites. J'arrive à ne pas perdre le contact, comptant sur leur bagarre mutuelle, et en compensant la lourdeur de la caisse en adoptant un setup "spécial chicane" qui me permet de ne pas perdre le contact.

Tout allait bien jusqu'à ce que Sebastian sur l'Ensign, à qui je prend un tour, s'écarte pour me laisser passer à droite, mais se rabat à droite !    au moment où je passe → rail   → course terminée   , une de plus.

Incident de course, simple mésentente.

Plus que 2 GP, ouf...  

Argh, another non-finish for me
Got a nice start, gained 5 positions before turn 1, but then the mechanical failures got me Lost the front wing, after that a puncture, after that I lost 5th gear, after that I lost 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear too and then even my throttle heh heh heh *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
And then I crashed. Yeeeee.
Was a pretty fast car though, even with the race setup
I'm looking forward to Watkins Glen

I would not call it a great start when you pushed me off the track.

I got a connection lost message, but I could still see the cars around me! Then I got kicked out. Had a nice fight with Martinelli shaping up, but it wasn't for a points paying positon, so that connection lost thing doesn't hurt too much. Not too pleased with my driving either, too many mistakes.

Will be interesting with a new car for the next race!

Not the best way to introduce myself to the McLaren Team.

I came home from work just about when qualifying began, but it worked out, qualified in the top 20, and almost clinching my PB at Monza. Not great, considering where Michal ended up in the grid, but okay.

I managed to survive the start and the first chicane, got into a good rhythm, could hold the bunch right behind me at distance, and the errors of some other guys in front of me allowed me to creep up a few positions. That resulted in a pretty fun battle with Juha, who had the ability to go faster than me, but apparently, his car was a bit more difficult to drive. At about 100 litres of fuel, my car fired the second stage and I could move a bit away from Juha, but traffic got me again into a situation, where he could attack me again, but spun off into the first chicane. Phew! Finally got rid of that annoying bee swarm called Alfa!
My car was doing a nice, steady pace, felt good, made no nonsense, but wasn't overly fast, but then, compared to his quali lap, Michal wasn't to far away from me. I was probably going with too much wing for Monza, barely hitting the 300 kph barrier, and some lapped Arrows was trying to make his way back and passed me. That got me a bit out of my rhythm, Jonathan behind me got closer, and at some point, I lost the car and hit the inside barrier, knocking of a wheel, was able to limp back to the pits, but the crew could'nt or wouldn't fix it. Barnacles!

Good news is, the McLaren is a far better and enjoyful ride than the Martini (now, what a surprise is that!), and there's a cool Löwenbräu livery waiting for the NA rounds! And I mostly like Watkins Glen

Bravo Greg
Course passionnante de mon coté. En bagarre avec jan pendant la moitie de la course à coups de 1/10 sc.

this race, after promising times from testing was disaster, dont know what happen last day, but i was greatly fighting my car than othjer competitors, after pray for points, i prayed for end of the race

Sorry Phillipe for my overtaking in T1 you when you lapped me but when you went on the brake too early i have no chance to clean the track.

Congratulations to Greg for winning the 1978 F1 World Drivers Championship.

Great broadcast from Jason White, Richard Wilks, and Ben Paulett. Really enjoyed the professional way it was presented.
