Condoléances Mike,

Prend bien soin des chats , je les adore


Marcus

Condoléances Mike!

Sadly, I have to give the Renault free for this race due to the crisis, which is getting worse in Austria and Switzerland. Have to prepare some things in the company that I work for today, which will last till the race starts today.

Have fun guys. See you at the next track.

Regards,
Mario

Note to those like me who already went through daylight savings, France has not. Quali will start an hour later than usual for those of us that have already gotten screwed out of our hour of sleep.

I lost in time zones. In the main topic of the race in Detroit, I do not see changes in the schedule time. In Russia, qualification always to start at 22:00 Moscow time. Will there be any changes now?

Im sorry I wont be able to race today.

So sorry to hear Mike, it seems all went peacefully. Forza!
Right now Im worried about my mom, as she is in the risk group.

There shouldn't be any changes for you. Some countries like the USA have switched to summer time this weekend, it only changes something for them.

And even for us, if we make a mistake we just show up an hour early. It is Fall that is dangerous for us as everything is 1 hour earlier for race.


I can confirm I will race. Lap times are safe now. I am only slow as Hell, not slow as shit now.

Thank you. I love the track in Detroit. It's one of my favorites. Of course, this does not mean that I will definitely win here, the race will be long and exhausting. But I'll try to make myself a birthday present. Because during the race in Russia, it will be March 16 and I will be 20 years old

Happy Birthday Vlad!

Condoléances Mike .

Sorry for the délay, absent , because of virus covid 19 , my company is required 24h/24 at the request by the French government

Condolences for your loss Mike

Sorry to hear of your loss Mike

Thank you all again. I think I had my "bad" day yesterday. Feel better today. Helped when I made a decent qual lap at Detroit and know I easily have another second more speed if I could limit the micro mistakes.

Remember people being lapped - if the blue flag is out do not swerve, just slow down on the next straight and let the speedster pass.

Speedsters you better not be morons and dive bomb lapped cars. They are not required to put themselves at risk so you can pass. Wait for a safe place. We slow pokes will be nervous as hell and likely damaged.

Speedsters racing speedsters if you block like a moron and cut off opponents in a dangerous manner (like more than 1 blocking move in close quarters) you may get to spectate soon especially if you were naughty in past races. If I talked to you offline, you were NAUGHTY in past races.

Bit late but here is the link for tonight's broadcast:



I'm in the middle of moving from one house to another and have therefore been unable to prep this broadcast the way it should. You may thus have to bear with me...

Tom

Sorry guys... For some reason that I fail to understand OBS seems to not be streaming.

Tom

I noticed where it says "waiting for HSO" etc, the time has been stuck for 20min.

I don't know what is happening. OBS seems to not connect to Youtube. I entered the stream key 4 or 5 times and even tried to create a new link. But to no avail... OBS does not seem to get the stuff onto Youtube.

This is beyond my limited understanding of the software, I'm afraid.

Tom

I've never got a stream to work?? There has to be an easier way.

Well, it worked well at Buenos Aires and Interlagos... So we should be able to get it working again, one day .

Tom

Condolences, Mike.


PS: I do not know what happened. I confused the time and instead of CET I thought in GMT. It may be a sign of old age. So, when I entered ... thinking that I had at least 30m to do my qualy lap... I saw that the cars were all at the starting line. After so many laps practicing...

sorry guys...today was not good for racing,not good at all

Well I knew I would have a lapse of concentration, I just did not expect my first one to be when I was in the lead. Tapped Michal when passing him for second. I think I got past Vlad cleanly for the lead then thought about recent events and missed a brake point and ran off into the runoff. After that I lost concentration many times.

I was being passed by two cars (lapping me) and let the first go and was trying to let the next one (Antonio) go. I was on the left you came flying up as I slowed down to let you go. I was clearly slowed down and full left off the racing line. YOU chose to follow me. I think we both had an "OH SHIT" moment at the same time as I swerved right as you flew up my tail end and so did you. That was accidental on my part. What you did afterwards was NOT accidental. I will watch the replay to make sure I am not seeing red but I doubt it. Note how I quickly caught both of you and stuck to your ass like glue? Wasted energy Antonio!

I have received a complaint about a previous naughty driver. I will not post outcomes in the forum. will watch the replay and contact both parties with a decision.

Edit: I did not realize I made wheel to wheel contact with Antonio when repassing him. That was my mistake, you were straight as an arrow. Also, Vlad - I came along side you twice warning you I was coming. When I passed, you had a car length between you and the wall. It was not aggressive. Also, my actual pass on Michal was clean. We made contact in a turn where I brake late and Michal broke earlier. My fault. He could not see me.

I have to give my Excuse to Hackman for a REALLY BAD Rejoin after a loss of concentration.
Really Sorry

(Watching the replay... For your information i was playing with Tablet as hotspot. I've not seen you.)

race, what to say, opted for hard tyres and fuel for whole race plan not to stop, at lap 1 Mike tryed overtake me when no good situation IMO, something wrong on stability of the car and lap time wasnt then as i have preapared in test, an then in about lap 28 i was 2 laps held by one green car losing 3s to 3rd placed driver , and lap 30 T1 game freezes for a 1s (as happening tme to time, dont know why, all online applications are off on my PC for racing so only RF2 running) hit inner armco ant them niggtmare start, i nerly can not use right hand now, wheel at straights to 90 degree, very frustrates as hoped for some points and now only 7th place and unusable hand
