Box problèm . Wait me 5 min please

Ok,

what a shame , internet back only now , a lot of french people with same internet operator had this issue tonight

From hell to heaven in one go!

After going around practicing with the BMW to better gauge it's performance, it was really strange to get back to the Honda. It took me some time to get used to it, and i think my supreme cock up in the first lap of the first race had something to do with it. After that i was last in the race, and i climbed all the way to a top then finish when i ended up in the barrier after an encounter with Juha at bridge.

Second race, more used to the car again, i managed to get a honda lockdown of the front row! This time my start was better, and coming the first corner i was in the lead, by just a bit over Yves. It was a lucky break for me, because Yves slowed the rest of the guys down just enough for me to get a small advantage that i had a really hard time managing the whole race against a very quick Coxon behind me. Was hard to keep consistency trying to be quick and safe at the same time, but i managed to do it, and in the end i redeemed myself from the first race with a win in the second!

Sorry for push you off at end in chicane, later on SF line i let you by for this

Very sporting.

I hope the next race will be as much fun.

I had two entertaining races, mostly because of my bad starts...

Great fights with all you guys around, everything absolutely fair.

My pace was way worse than expected, hope i'm more competitive next time.

Great night absolutely not disturbed by opponents which were too fast for me.
Thx Richard for the setup.
Grats to all participants and see you next time.

So another frustrating race. My PC problems was solved but i had no time to practice. Nobody gave me tip with car setup at the warmup, so i must hurry made by myself, but there was not much time. Result was very slow time...my bad only my.

Race1
20th place at the start was not motivating. But i had good start and race rhytm with luck. After 20 laps it was 2nd place at the independent after Dave. I calmed down and was ready to fight at the second race.

Race2
21th place ..... Good start, but again guys at the front of field made crash and i again lost my rear wing...i think it is some tradition or something like this, because it was 3rd race which i must drive without rear wing...i dont like it and hope that was last time....so i agian circled like a vulture and was again trying to keep the car on track and reach finish. 4th place at independent....

Some champ points was made and i hope next race will be much better.

Thank you HSO for racing, thanks guys for broadcasting, grats to podium and good luck at the Oulton.

I shouldn't have started. With fever, headache and dizziness, it was a bad idea. Easily my worst race(s) in years. Crashes, rollovers (three per race, seriously???), miserable driving overall.

Anyway, my affair with FWD has been a disaster right from the start. I just don't get the physics, don't understand why the car does one thing and then something completely different one lap later. There must be something about weight shifting or function of front diff that i simply can't work with.

I feel kind of guilty for occupying one of the best cars in the field. I was thinking... Would some of the BMW guys swap their ride with me? I might do better with RWD. If anyone is interested, pls let me know.

Richard, tu as eu de la chance sur ce coup là !

On the standings chart at the start of broadcast, there's a mistake with name's Greg, it's GoissEn not GoissAn. And second thing, I think it would be better xithout the wheelgun sound.

If you get a bmw i might suply you with a setup Petr.

Feel free to PM the BMW drivers Petr, if one can agrees to swap i will allow it under exceptional circumstances.

My sincerest appologies for my misstake with your name Gregoire and for any other misstake that crept in.

And yes, I agree on the wheelgun sounds, never noticed them before when driving myself but when looking back at the broadcast they are very clear to hear...
Will have all of this sorted for the next round.

And again, my sincerest appologies

I'm good mate, just me wanting to, when I do work for someone else, do the best I can with as few misstakes as possible and seeing that I made 2 with the graphics alone and then my internet dieing towards the end of the broadcast... It's just a tad bit frustrating for me

And ok, if you are ok with me/us saying Greg, then Greg it is, for the most part

Don't worry Jonatan, you will not be burned for that, only a stage in the dark room.

Realized with about 4-5 laps to go I think that it was you Michal and not Martin driving the Peugeot

But I'd say miss-identification of drivers/cars are part of what makes the broadcasts special

I've linked the broadcast on my FB Simracing account, so I am torn between first and last name as there might be outsiders watching(and judging by the likes, there were some).

As there are two Richards, there's no going around using last names

Saw the replay race 1 those last 2 laps from the 4 leaders:

Jacob, Jacques, Jan and Greg oh my god almost pure comedy

I don't dare watching that.
