Round 2 - Interlagos

Pierre has always been one of the fastest drivers
in F1 and Aurora but his reliability has been questioned in the past
and hopefully he has know sorted that out ....

Im sure in the 2nd half of the season other cars will
be chasing and catching him once all the new models come out
one thing i do know about Pierre is he
puts a lot of work in before each race and is always there
practicing on the server .....

I Say Good Luck to him ..... Take it why you can Labedan Boys

Yes I agree with Carlos. True Pierre is clearly above the rest of us but he trains a lot so that should be rewarded after all. And ditto about the new cars coming soon. Once all the RS10, 312T4 and FW07 are here he'll have a tougher time . In the meantime, the Ligier boys will do their best to bother him .

sure i practice a lot but only late in the evening because i work 55 hours a week in my office ,since 8.30am to 8.30pm ,i am fond of f179 mod and i practice more for the pleasure than to try to be the faster ,knowing faster guys with slower cars around me.
since my debut in may 2009 i have improved my driving and i am more confident and consistent , i don't drive at 110 % as i used to do last year and can be now a contender for the victory

sorry for my english i practice a lot to improve _


ps:as long as mistletoe does not take my keys back

I am not entirely sure I can make tomorrow's qualy. I am, however, pretty sure I can't improve on my time. I always knew the RS01 was a evil thing, but I didn't know it was an evil bitch with a mind of her own. No matter what I do, it always, always has something else in mind. I like it. I can't wait for the RS11/12 though.

EDIT: I can tell you this much, a tuned Mk2 Escort is a LOT easier to handle on ice, yes - a frozen lake, in real life. I can drive it sideways all day long, no worries. But this... *shiver*

sorry i missed yesterday's qualy. Will be there for tomorrow and the race

It had to happen one day or another, Carl qualified in front of me

Congrats Pierre for the pole
I must say I had really NO feeling with the track on thursday, but tonite everything went well better and i'm really happy with my time and with the car. Looking forward to a new battle with Carl and maybe Grégory, Frank, Franck and Tiago

Its looking very Bleu at the front of the grid .....

I think if that session had lasted another 5 minutes
you would have taken P5 from me very exciting towards the end .....

Law of averages said it had to happen one day

Thx Guillaume im really looking forward to it

I knew something was going to well on thursday. Too bad I couldn't do today's quali. I just hope things go better here than it went at Buenos Aires...

I'm really satisfied with my 11th place on the grid with the ATS, that's the maximum i could do with this car, my goal for today's race is trying to get a point for the championship

I'm happy to make a good qualification for my first GP,but that will help me to have a very good car

i've a question, can anyone can explain me start procedure ?

au moment de la course tu vas te retrouver à ta place sur la grille ,un tour en formation est lancé et tu vas revenir te replacer au même endroit à la fin du tour,matérialisé en orange,garde ta position pendant ce tour et pas de gaz en attendant le départ ca chauffe très vite.

Ok merci

I really dislike this track and fittipaldi for sure is not a good car for this race...but in this company of racing gentlemans I am really looking fwd to today race

this track is not very pleasant with a bad car, but anyone can expect a good result because, it's possible too see lot of retire, and in this case only stay on track for finish in good place

Elle n'est pas amusante du tout oui. Que je prenne une bonne ou une mauvaise voiture quelle piste de m.... Pas moyen de faire 3 tours d'affilée sans exploser la voiture.
Plus je roule dessus plus elle grimpe au hit parade des pistes que je deteste le plus. Si ca continue elle va meme detroner Monza et le Norisring. Elle vient d'ailleurs de monter sur le podium en virant Silverstone (je deteste mais au moins je vois les arrivées là bas). Et ce soir je sens qu'elle va acquerir la seconde place.

je suis étonné de vous voir si nombreux à détester cet ancien tracé d'interlagos ,à l' instar de frank v... j'adore ,des enchainements de virages lents et rapides de montées et de descentes ,un double gauche très technique qui plonge en se resserrant et en plus pas de chicane,je me régale ,pour moi la nouvelle version est sans intérêt en comparaison

I agree with Ludo. This track jumped to the top 5 of most hated tracks. But there is absolutley no track in the world that can yet demote Silverstone from the top position. The man who designed that one must still be laughing his arse off. The biggest joke of modern time. This track however, might be good in a suction cup so it can't go top 3. I sort of wish I don't get a good start tomorrow. If I do, my race will end in Turn 3. Full tank, warp speed down the straight, tires that are warm and grippy after a week of trashing and absolutley no brakes at all. Gentlemen, hold on to your hats.

i am also in the big group of track-dislikers this time. i like the modern version of interlagos, but this old version ist just a hell of a track. i just hope that i can manage to stay in the grid til the finish line, but i really doubt this, because my BT48 is a really bitch to drive on this track. don`t know why.
