Round 11 - Österreichring

The Renault is fantastic to drive but bloody thirsty ...

I Hit a spinning Pierre on lap 1 which made my car hideous to drive
i thought this would be a high retirement track so set off in pursuit
managed to get into 8th with about 2 laps to go .....

Had to splash and dash and with the damage i had the car overheated in the pits ...

I Loved the renault and would love to drive it again someday ...

I Do like the F1 but it is frustrating when you hit someone
especially when it cant be helped tintops are much more reliable/damage friendly ....

Sorry Othmane when i got in your way ......

Congragulations on your Alien performance ....

lol Carl and the pitstops, a long story
In that case, either choose not to repair your car if it's still driveable, or shut down the engine and it wont overheat

Because i was late getting to the race i never had a button assigned on my wheel for pitstop i could have done without new tyres and the car was driveable i was in the pits for 90seconds ...

Ill get it right one day ...

Well done to all finishers ....

Ma course,

Désolé Ludo, je suis triste pour toi,mais c'est pas de chance....!
Après le 1 ier tour,j'arrive dans la chicane, je ne le vois pas et je percute mon équipier Darryn Smalley
qui est en travers.....,choqué, ne comprenant pas ce qui viens de se passer, reste un peu KO sur le bord de piste,
et voila...l'histoire.
Je ne sais pas ,si c'est moi que tu touche ou Darryn, mais lorsque j'ai vu ton abandon pour accident,j'ai eu mal au coeur.
Je pensai faire un petit résultat,mais Darryn était dans la trajectoire.
Pour moi,je considère tout cela comme incident de course,mais c'est vrai,c'est décevant....!
Je dirai à Darryn, mon équipier,bien meilleur pilote que moi, qu'il manquait un peu d'entrainement....., sur ce coup là!
Mais bon,c'est la vie,alors Ludo,surtout pas de découragement,je suis tes aventures,cela va aller;il faut y croire.
Pour moi,cette année ,est une année préparatoire pour la saison prochaine.


Allez tous au travail

Phew that was a tough one. No one could touch the Renault, I did my damnest to stay on the lead lap, I gave it all I had. I am very happy with that, I didn't make a single mistake, got close a few times yakking on Ventrilo though but I couldn't race without it. Never been so consistent in my life, so believe me I was pushing for all I am worth.

Richard was on my gearbox for a long time unil he decided to try the off road capabilities of the Tyrrell and went up a mountain. I was happy you escaped undamaged!

Congrats Othmane and Richard. Great run man, a solid 3rd. Good run all finishers!

Thanks to the strange 1979 points rules, i'm already champion
(unless Oscar or Stéphane come back and win the last 4 races)

Merci à l'étrange systeme de décompte des points de 79, je suis déjà champion
(à moins qu'Oscar ou Stéphane reviennent et gagnent les 4 dernières courses)

Pas de panique Marcus...pour moi aussi c'est un incident de course. D'ailleurs ce n'est pas toi que je percute mais Darryn (tu dis etre sur le bord de la piste...j'ai percuté une voiture au milieu de la piste).

C'est juste que j'accumule la poisse cette année. Quand ce n'est pas ma connection qui fait des siennes, je me mange une autre voiture en perdition. Ajoute à celà mon bug du départ qui me gache d'entrée toutes mes courses. Termine par une pincée de bourdes en course et cela donne une saison où je collectionne les abandons. Ce soir c'est d'autant plus frustrant que je m'étais beaucoup entrainé car j'adore ce circuit. Là pour le coup je me demande si cela vaut VRAIMENT la peine que je continue à investir du temps en entrainements et de galerer pour mettre au point des sets bien merdi....
Les prochaines courses je viendrais avec un entraiment minimal voire pas d'entrainement du tout (pour ce que cela me sert). Meme la course DTM au Nordschleife ne risque pas de motiver des masses c'est dire que j'en ai vraiment marre de la poisse qui me colle aux basques cette saison

Merci Ludo,

Mais je viens de voir le replay, et c'est bien moi que tu percutes,et je suis mal sur ce coup là !!
Fais moi plaisir,n'abandonne surtout pas,c'est un mod super,et comme je l'ai écrit plus haut, nous préparons la saison prochaine.
Je n'ai fais qu'un tour et j'ai eu du plaisir,sauf notre collision;mais on se rattrapera,je compte sur toi

Marcus

Départ toujours prudent (on ne se refait pas ) pour eviter la traditionnelle foire des premiers tours, puis je vais passer une dizaine de tours geniaux avec Antoine a se passer -repasser ...rien que cela valait le coup d'etre venu ...
Je vais decrocher Antoine et m'accrocher à Gui (à ma grande surprise) mais sans jamais le recoller (je reste une dizaine de tours a 4-5 secondes) ...
en fin de course 2 spins de deconcentration vont permettre a Antoine de revenir tout près, et ce n'est qu'en battant mon meilleur tour 4 fois d'affilée que je reussirais a rester devant de peu (comme en procar hier soir ) ...
j'ai vraiment tout donné et ne pouvais rien esperer de mieux vue les furieux qu'il y avait devant ...
Dommage pour Pierre qui tournait vraimment bien avec sa Mclaren ...
a bientot

C'est pas le mod qui est en cause Marcus. Oulton c'etait en Aurora, Most en DTM. La poisse je l'ai sur tout les mods (DTM, BSCC, SCC, Aurora, ECGT, F1). Donc le souci c'est plus rFactor et la possibilité que mon PC ne le supporte pas bien.. ou bien c'est tout betement le chat noir qui me suivait partout il y a deux ans en F1Legends qui revient

Offre le à Gui, il adore les minous
Bravo Gui pour le championnat 79 ... j'espère que tu es rassasié

Just wondered is the Renault or the Ligier free for the rest of the season
with a little help from Kimmo ....I Know kimmo would not mind swapping ....

Well done Gui on winning the championship

Just pick a car that isn't a complete dog and I'll try to sort you out.

I doubt any Ligier will be free... I have comitted myself to the Ligier for the rest of the season so I am not allowed a swap, which is only fair.

I Was thinking because you already scored points then you wont be able to change ...
Gui as theres only a few races left can i try the Renault for the rest of the season please .....

Well yes sure you can take the last Renault, but, if you prefer the Ligier,and as I know the Renault is Kimmo's heart choice, I would allow him to go back to Renault and you could take his Ligier. I really did not expect this car to be free here in Austria that's why I didnt allow Kimmo to have a regular Renault seat when he joined.

So it's up to you to decide guys

Wee!! I'll take it! Ah, My old beloved yellow teapot, I have missed it. My trusty old friend... Ok, laptimes will shoot to the moon, I am no Othmane but I don't care one little bit! Carl? Grab the Ligier, it's great.

PM Sent you beat me to it ....LOL !!!!

Im the New Ligier driver FST is reborn ....
Im the Andrea De Cesaris of the simracing world
how many teams have i driven for this season ....

I Promise i wont change again ....

Next year I really hope I can drive a F1 car... Trucks aren't really my style...

Ok Carl de Cesaris & Kimmo Jabouille

Tiago, trucks are fast enough to be world champion

yeah, but I am not
And I'm still waiting for a championship that I really can commit till the end. Hope we can all discuss later the racing days, because the weekends are to hard for me

What I really found is that the Alfa doesn't work with my setups.... It always goes wrong... at least in qualify

I am looking forward to the next race..as today my race with this great great! mod ended too soon
Hopefully there are free cars to pick again.

Well, again I had a great setup thanks to Kimmo and having been away from racing for about 6 months I am happy with third place. I had quite a few moments but nothing that cost me anything but time. Grats to Kimmo and O.

an evening to forget could be the devise for my race. i made so many mistakes i even couldn`t count. especially the start was very bad and i am ashamed. sorry for my spin in the first corner. all the brakes completely blocked, although i didn`t brake late and i a was just a passenger. sorry for the one i hitted (olivier) and the ones i`ve confused (all the others). shame on me . after the first mistake, i was the last on the track. thanks to the power of the brabham, i was able to overtake a lot of drivers and after some laps, i was in position four. after some moe laps, i made a mistake in corner 1 and was on position seven. after all, i put the car into the wall because the brabham was getting faster and faster the more fuel it burned and i just wanted too much and was too early on the throttle. dammit

but i am really looking forward to the next race. i hope that i can finish at least once with the brabham and make mr. ecclestone happy. otherwise, the contract negotiations for next year will be very tough . i really love the power-truck. but i have to work on my consitency .

allar, you went off the track and came back very very slow and i was in full speed, but i can`t remember touching you. when i saw you, i braked as hard as i can and i thought that i managed to brake before touching you.
EDIT: i`ve reviewed the replay and it definitely wasn`t me. i think nobody touched you. you`ve accelerated on the grass strip with one wheel and then you went into the wall. gui was behind you.

greetings to all the finishers and especially the podium.

all my respect is with gui in his truck. well done, champion!

regards,
mario

Me too i had a great helping from Kimmo thanks so much and Ludovic for more tecnically aids !!
My Race anyweare was shortly only one lap and I could not avoid the Ferrari at the first chicane, after I hit the wall in last curves and i had a more damage at suspensions and finally my cosworth engine was burned!!
anyway i can say this has funny, and i hope to have a best race next time !

Standings have been updated on the website :
http://www.historicsimracing.org/F179/class_F179.php?lang=eng

As no more than 36 points can be scored in each half season (only the 4 best results count), Othmane can only score 43 points this year.
