Thanks.

Throwing my car away like an amateur, why didn't I just go the long way and pass the last chicane behind the net barriers?

CURRENT TOP 5

1) Kowalski/Bos/Drechsler #50 Lancia
2) Swindells/Maycock #51 Lancia
3) Vermeersch/Knowles/Jereb #1 Porsche
4) Jaques/Chapman/Jundt #20 Sauber
5) White/Ibanez #6 Ford

Good qualifying position, comfortable race rhythm, lovely Gr5 Lancia lasted for a bit over one stint. Then I got punted into the barrier by an impatient 956 at Club. Oh well.

It's good fun watching Pascal's stream, and his insanely crowded hud display kinda makes up for the absence of rFactor monitor !

at which time the race started? how exactly is the driver distance, i did one fuel tank in aprox 1h20 minutes not 1h48 and did aprox 56 laps, so we all need another swap?

Ended first stint, best of luck for Michael and Juha

Jon Maycock was really strong, will be an interesting race i think. I could lap faster then him and build a 30s gap in the first hour. Unfortunately a lapped blue BMW took some strange lines at the chicane which cost me my front wing. I repaired it during 1st stop, but that were +60s.
I was 15s behind their second driver Swindells after pitstop, but could catch him, and had a 15s gap until my 2nd stop.
The Lancia is really fast, every monkey could drive it (credits to Niki Lauda )

Wasn't that a Walter Röhrl mysoginistic pun directed at Michèle Mouton ? Anyways good job with the Lancia Jan

hmmm then only 1h20 aprox maybe 1h25 max so 2 unneeded swaps to reach 1h38 for all drivers

One would remember if he punted someone. But nope, it was Bruno Chacon.

Can brakes failure be repaired in the pits?

No

See last race, a driver swap might do it since it helped me and Jonatan at Monza.

But if you hit an object, every kind of damage(aero, engine and maybe brake damage) comes straight back, possibly.

I know some group 5 cars retired with brake failure, i am already looking into that, it will be corrected in time for nurburgring.

Despite brake failure, we are doing our best to get to the finish! The endurance spirit, yada-yada...

Bonne course régulière, comme d'hab', pas de faute, 8ème.

Problème technique, comme d'hab', au bout de 3h40mn

Casse du frein avant cette fois-ci, au premier freinage en sortant de mon 3ème pitstop.

ça commence à être démotivant de se dire que, même sans faire de faute, on ira pas jusqu'au bout
