Funnily enough, it's my ex-car from 2013


Too bad I was too fond of the metal.

/bad pun

Don't forget your coat

Surprised no one has claimed the Minardi yet...

@Richard: Still trying to process that one, what?

I see like there were 3/5 waiting list guys online recently, I am also surprised


Too bad I miss out on working with Petr, great chap

It's a very short notice. half a day to learn a track, learn the car, do a qualification set, manage to qualify in 12 laps.
Gee it's a Greg-style mission no?

Well, I can't talk for others, but I would do it. But I can't swap.


Not to mention, in comparison to my crapcar, if you're half-decent, you WILL qualify the car.

And finally, you'd have an awesome teammate *nudge nudge wink wink* who wouldn't mind if both cars started the race


Then again, I did laps already and know the track, even if the car sucks. And 12 laps are used up soon...

Nevermind me then

I have some issues with my wheel so i won't be able to join, i hope i can make it work for the next race.

I will take Minardi. But have almost zero practice... And unable to participate in Saturday Q session.
OK, time to hit track

Ok

very slight improvement. but couldn't concentate somehow (fwd brain today? ). jons setup had a second in it easy but couldn't get it together.

also this session, one time i came out the pits with no front wing.

will have to wait another 30 mins and hope i get through.

good luck @all for the rest for the session. Missed my PB (1:21:9), but made a little improvement. See you tomorrow
Thanks for the coverage

Should have made the field with that time, but people really need to check their mirrors, either flying out of the pits or just not paying attention on outlaps.

Avant la qualif,1.21.366 pendant la qualif 1.23.113.A croire quand il y a beaucoup de pilotes mon ordinateur manque de vitalité. moi aussi

Found a bit of time, but still 8/10s of PB and 1.8 seconds of best sectors.


At least no longer last...

Final qualifying results

Results Session 2

Sorry to all who didn't make it, but please show up on race day as spaces may come available and we will want to fill them with the DNQ drivers

Idem comme Gérard, mais pas dans la même catégorie de pilotes,
1'25"07 avant les qualifs et 1'26" 2.. en qualifs

Manque de vitalité aussi..., pourtant j'étais pas stressé !

Marcus

Usually my qualifying attempts abominable, Thursday being a prime example.

I didn't hold much hope on getting near 1.24 again, until I got a few laps together yesterday and finally smashed my PB in qualifying. 13th is fine, but I'd have loved to see my Jordan teammate and my usual endurance teammate make the grid as well.

Nice, just the Coloni team absent from qualifying.

Phew, I actually made it! Time to celebrate(already)!

Finaly found something in Nvidia control panel (set 1 frame to count ahead instead application decide) and got rock solid 60FPS with full grid , it helped a lot and fialy found something i setup too and finaly get uder 1:23 barrier today, final good poit in Q was that in this Q session i managed my new PB time which kicked me much higher in the grid


but for tomorrow race i had small chances, after some test start, when i brake early not to hit cars i front of me, i 100 percen will be hit or masively overtook and very hard will be to stay out of crashing cars in front because of no room here to pass safely

Séance catastrophique  
J'avais trouvé un truc qui me permettait d'esperer une bonne amélioration. Offline j'avais amélioré mon PB d'une demi seconde. Je pouvais viser un 1.25.01 en ne faisant pas de faute. Bref ca s'annoncait plutot bien   .

Sauf que mon chat noir est revenu. Jeudi j'ai fait une chute de tension alarmante (dixit le toubib). Hier c'etait pas top mais je remontais la pente. Aujourd'hui ca ne semblait plus qu'un mauvais souvenir. Sauf que 20 minutes avant les qualifs j'ai commencé à avoir des vertiges et des douleurs dans les bras. Petit check up rapide. Youpeeeeeee retour de la chute de tension .
 
Du coup j'ai foiré deux de mes tentatives (dont une dans le tour de lancement). Dans mes deux dernières j'ai été incapable de pousser comme je voulais. Mes vertiges m'empechaient de bien appréhender les points de corde. Je n'avais aussi aucun feeling sur les pédales. Du coup les roues bloquaient au freinage et la voiture survirait à mort à la reprise des gaz.
J'ai fini mes tours avec le coeur au bord des lèvres à la limite de vomir.

Mais qu'est ce que cette voiture est lente mais lente. Je plafonne à 282 KMH (meme les V8 des ATS allaient plus vite).  Steve prend 10 KmH de plus que moi avec le même moteur. Lui arrive à sortir quelque chose du Lambo. Perso ca ressemble plus au retour du moteur Chevy de l'USAC....le plus lent du lot. Sauf qu'en plus j'ai un  chassis vraiment pourri ce coup ci. Bon je suis plus verni que certains des mes collègues du groupe 1 ceci dit. Je me suis au moins qualifié avec mon croisement d'escargot, d'aï et de limace.



22eme au départ, une voiture instable au possible en conditions course, un pilote pas bien physiquement et pas motivé par sa monture (j'ai jamais aimé l'équipe Ligier en plus). Ca sent la galère sans nom demain soir (pour ne pas dire toute la saison).

No comment about the session. I mean I know what I want to say but I'd rather keep my mouth shut..
