Toujours superbe cette présentation de grille de départ , chapeau Guillaume . Mais dis-moi, est-ce que tu dors un peu quand même ? Présent à toutes les courses, entraînements, qualifications et le site est toujours mis à jour dans les plus brefs délais . Sans vouloir te jeter des fleurs, ça me sidère, je n'ai jamais vu ça dans d'autres organisations de Simracing . Super dévouement en tout cas, merci pour nous les pilotes qui n'avons plus qu'à nous mettre au volant pour participer aux courses des champs si bien choisis .

Merci Bernard
Oui c'est un peu de boulot, mais pas tant que ça, avec l'habitude ça va plus vite. Et puis je roule très peu en dehors des séances de qualifications des courses HSO, tout au plus une quinzaine de tours.

I'm sure the marshalls will have a look into it

So this time I went too slow and braked as normal in the hairpin and the rears locked up immidiately. Ass-end into the wall. Sucks.

What is this? I have never ever started a season this poorly, I hardly ever even DNF! I feel like the Finnish hockey team right now after 6-0 in 13 minutes. It is... FCUK!!!!!!!

Short race for me. After a hopeful start, i was hit on right rear tyre on lap 2 by franck Labedan. The suspension was broken, and i try to spin into right direction, but unfortunately i was hit by another car from the back. Sorry for that move, didnt expect your car.

See You!

bad start, i touch kimo in the hairpin when he lost the control of his renault, i damage my front wings but the car was always good, i come back on the group before me with Tiago, and i'm touch by Carl (?) who lose his cars in the esse and touch François Besancon and me, i broke my suspension and was not able to finish the race.. lack of luck

Pffffffffffffff F*CK, connexion lost AGAIN

Too bad i was 6th and slowly gaining ground on Othmane & Olivier, the Arrows was lots of fun to drive around this track, but painfully slow ^^
Well ... That's my worst start of the season ever, lets hope Long Beach will be better, its one of my fav tracks.

Grégory va falloir travailler tes départs Comme à Interlagos je reste coincé derrière toi et perds pas mal de place
Merci de m'avoir laissé passer quand je revenais

Sorry if i ended your race Gregory i thought i had made a fairly safe but slow start ,
I Know i caught someone on the inside of there car im sorry for this
i was struggling for grip in the early part of the race ......

I Tried to settle down was having a good race with my team mate Frank and the one of the
Arrows when i came around the corner at the end of the long straight and Carlo was sideways
on the track i could not avoid hitting him which damaged my suspension car was pulling to the left
i tried pulling it together but the car was hard to drive after that and i hit the wall a few laps later
Race Over ......

Sorry for my really Crap start
Sorry for my Team .......
and sorry if i ended your race Gregory ....

Image bloqué au premier freinage (ecran noir et son bloqué) ...j'espere que je n'ai géné personne
Par miracle tout reapparait, je suis 20 eme et dans le bas coté ...mais vivant .
je repars tranquillement et rattrappe jan qui freine tres tot au bout de la ligne droite impossible de l'eviter (very sorry jan ).
je repars cassé, volant en travers pour peu de temps ...
j'espere que j'ai cumule toutes les erreurs et malchance sur cette course ...
j'ai passe quelques tours en spectateurs (bagarre Frank Olivier Othmane) ...c'etait sympa et moins stressant qu'en course

First DNF here at HSO
I was in 4th after the first few laps when Tiago tried to pass me at T1 , but he went wide, we had a contact, i spun and i hit your Ligier (sorry for that mate) , so my car was badly damaged and tried to get to the pit for repairs, but without success.
Then the Alfa engine blew up and..race over too

I don't like this track at all,and the Alfa is really hard to drive on there.
See ya at Long Beach, one of my favourite tracks!

Holy shit guys! I hope you are watchin the ice hockey final. What a game, I am SO glad we didn't make the finals. (Finland)

One of those disgusting weekends everyone has sometimes I guess. I just didn't think it would be this weekend, especially since I have been ill and wanted to still do well while ill. Have been driving well, now my first DNF's back to back.

Great start, great race, great car. Was leading for a bit, but I knew Pierre's Tyrell wouldn't stay back for very long so after it became clear his car was now faster, I let him by at his first attempt as I'm not in this championship battle and his car is overall clearly superior. Anyway was running perfect in second the whole race, past halfway everything was looking good. Traffic was fine, like any Grand Prix. Only gripe was someone took out the brake boards for T1, which was generally fine as by then I had memorized the point, but all of sudden one lap at T1 the left front tyre barely touched the border of line/dirt and that's it, locked me up and sent me straight into the catch fencing and barrier.

I feel bad, but considering it happened too yesterday, I just have to shove this weekend out of my memory. I really wanted to put on a good showing for the Brabham team, who need the points, and to give a good result to the team that Antoine drives for. The car was cruising for a podium which I desperately needed to makeup for yesterday and because who doesn't want to podium in their first start (at least in this championship)? But anyway, I really hope this run of badluck is done and won't effect the two trophy's that I'm in the thick of, and hopefully I can avenge this in Road America.

Off to watch the hockey game.

fantastic so far! considering i dropped out about 5 minutes ago
at least the game is great!

Encore une fois mal pris au départ , voitures bloquées devant moi pas moyen de reculer non plus car pris en sandwich . Enfin après des secondes interminables nous voilà partit mais pas bien loin car au premier virage je me prends de plein fouet une voiture qui était de travers et qui évoluait en marche arrière au milieu de ce virage pour reprendre la piste . Gros coup pour la voiture qui est difficilement contrôlable . J'essaie pourtant de bagarrer avec Pierre G. a l'arrière course mais dans l'état où est la voiture c'est du suicide . Je me sors deux fois et chaque fois la voiture est encore plus difficile à maintenir en piste . Je me sors une troisième fois qui fut fatale aux suspensions , j'essaie de réparer mais la voiture est dangereuse sur la piste car plus de contrôle . Je me résigne donc à rentrer définitivement aux stands . Très déçu car avec une voiture en ordre, j'aurais pu faire partie du top 10 à Kyalami, c'est un de mes circuits fétiches de GPL67 . A oublier très vite pour être psychologiquement au top pour le prochain .

content de ma victoire mais épuisé,j ai eu une perte de vigilance, pendant 10t au milieu de la course et failli taper un rail heureusement c est revenu tout doucement et j ai pu me remettre dans le rythme,belle bagarre avec sasha en début de course.
merci aux lappés toujours aussi corrects

Was having a helluva race fter a helluva start. Was having great fun with Carlo, Frank and Carl until I completely forgot how crappy the Alfa brakes are (really sorry Carlo, wasn't really trying to overtake you, just trying to avoid you ).
I want to apologize to Frank V. for the little bump after the start, really thought my left side was clear.... again

After that I managed to continue witout any problems and was having a great battle with Thomas until he bumped me into turn 1. After that Gui passed me and my rear susp. was damaged.

I was able to continue despite a big struggle from me until this GODAMN, STUPID; SLOW, SNAIL, F#$%ING COMPUTER froze and my race was over. I was 5th and I was confident I would get some points. Not this time.

Arrows team struggling big time. Sorry to dissapoint you teammate
