I saw “on recorder” and correctly cringed.

so many unknown names and .......... .....


blue flag is only color


standing car is nothing why not punt into it, car on side , who cares , the start was total sh...

since start car behave a lot different than in warmup , rear grip decreased

What a difficult race!
Until I got to the server for qualifying, I hadn’t made any laps in the rain, my setup was exclusive for dry tracks and I had to improvise the car’s adjustments.
Good disputes with Paulo and Tomas. At least today I was not a nightmare for you Peter, I hope you enjoyed it.
Congratulations to the podium and I am very happy to score the first point with sixth place.

Not your fault. Ligier in front of me fell asleep.

Sorry for the departure. I had cut the engine. I thought I had a formation lap.

difficult, long, blue flag to manage, too slow, but a unique experience in the rain.

I had leg cramps in 52 laps and until the end I thought about stopping the race because I was in a lot of pain.

Because of many withdrawals I finished the race in an honorable place because my level is low. I apologize for having bothered the other competitors, I tried to do my best.

Congratulations to the winner, to the podium and to everyone who participated.

at the start I expected the formation lap, so I didn't move until they started in front of me. very hard race, impossible for me to get close to the cars in front, the spry of the wheels hid the entrances in the corners. however it was a lot of fun. the first two ran on dry?

The rain was an unpleasant surprise. Thankfully, Mick saved me by sending me his setup  The first lap was funny. I had to pinch myself to make sure that i'm really 4th. I have no idea how it happened Most of the race was a "Who makes more mistakes" contest with Antonio. He was clearly faster, but he simply made more mistakes. When I ripped my wing off with some 20 laps to go, I though the fight was over. However, Antonio made a similarly serious error later, so I passed him for 3rd in the end.

It was a long and very exhausting race, I'm glad I made it to the finish. The podium is an unexpected bonus, as there were many faster drivers. Those two aliens at the front were in a different league, unbelievable And I want to apologize to Marc Florkin, I sent him into the barrier while lapping him in lap 12. I clearly misjudged the situation, sorry Marc

Hi Guys , it was very hard race for everyone yesterday I think , for me was my first race under raining in simracing ( for sure was the same for a lot of us )  and it was really something different than usually , but after all it was fun first experience .

Adam made a better start than me , he tooks the lead , the first few laps was nice battle btw us . after I Overtook him and pull away .

The whole race  was a mentaly battle against the rain , the tyres and myself .  

just a quick message to the lapped cars , I know that is not fun to be lapped , and I can understand this bad feeling maybe at this moment , but please guys , don t compet like you are in battle for the win with the leaders cars .this has no sense . Sincerely yesterday I was very surprise about attituds from some drivers ... ( i m not here for to give names and i don't will  ) .
ok rain maybe didn't help but it s not necessary to try to make the brakes after be lapped , or close the inside or outtside doors for half an lap ...

anyway grats to the guys respect as much as they can the blue flags , the rules , and more important the HSO spirit .

well done all finishers .

see you to Zolder

If you run the well documented dumpster fire regularly you will be high on the “allowed to upgrade” list.

Olà I raced in Le Mans sunday with WSCC and the rain was quite an option!
Nothing
Not a single drop in 6 hrs.
Maybe the rain was entirely drained by Jarama?

I read about the “allowed to upgrade” list, can I join this?
Keep well

Gio when a car is available you want to switch to you can PM me. You can only upgrade once. Once you drive the new car you are stuck.

Race results and replay available when Frank’s work allows. For those unaware Frank works in a healthcare related job and is under enormous stress. Real life has to get priority right now.

Some little things, about inconveniences.

About no formation lap, it's almost totally my fault.
When I relaunched the server for the qualy, I removed the formation lap, because I thought (I don't know why), the fuel tank was maybe not enough. It happened in the 1st or 2nd race of the championship.
Sorry about that, however I wrote in qualy's chat that the server was set to 75 laps and no formation lap. And nobody noticed that, to tell me it was not good.

And 2nd point, is about weather.
Indeed, the plugin is connected to the "Port of Pollença" weather station, which is located to Balearic Islands. So it explain why you got rain.
We have to be more careful about the weather station to which the plugin connects.

But no worries Ben , in real was a lot of rain Sunday at Madrid too
so online weather  was correct

Hoping that I didn't make a mistake. Normally race results and replay are available on website.

Drivers standings is updated too, but not the constructors standings (despite having read the rules, I don't understand, I'm so moron )

Sorry if I'm wrong: I came in sixth, I think I should have received 1 point. Or did I not complete the number of laps necessary for this?

You weren't wrong, it's corrected.

Thank you!

A track that I really don't like. With rain it had everything to go badly wrong.
After all, unexpectedly, I ended up having one of the best starts that I can remember in a decade: until after turn 1 I... went from 17th to 8th!
I was very lucky, of course, but it could even have been better if I was even luckier, because in front of me there was a car that didn't start, it stood still and I had to go around of it.

Then, an unexpected adventure, but an interesting adventure, with some dispute with several but mainly with my 'team mate' Bruno (congs for that point). I couldn't keep up the pace, some failures (in the last 20 laps, due to several factors) and he did very well.

Last but not the least: too bad that some drivers continue to leave (the track) and return to it without the proper caution ...

congs to the podium
