Round 4 - Brno

Présent !

EDIT : Quelqu'un aurait un set pour la M3 please ? :D

Presente !

je suis malade donc absent

I Dont know what was going on tonight i managed to hit Thomas
on the 1st or 2nd lap and messed his race up (Sorry for that).....

Was having problems with fps pulled over on the last lap to give Thomas my place ....

Some of the guys said my car was invisible not had that problem before weird ....

Tried to rejoin in the 2nd session and for some reason i could not connect

1st online league race, and i have to say it was great fun, despite being miles off the pace! don't know how people were lapping 2:11s as i couldn't get below a 2:15 regardless of setup! Anyway, had a great start in the first race from 19th, having had a terrible qualifying spinning a few times, and then slowly slid my way back to finnish in 16th position. Great fun in the first few laps trying to hold on to the back of the other two BMWs though.

Missed the start of the second race, as i was on the phone, so had to start from the pits! Thought the race went reasonably well otherwise, although i finished almost a lap down, so maybe not.

Regardless, it was great fun, and i hope to make the next meet

No need to say i'm seriously pissed off at the moment. Another connexion lost while easily leading the race, and now the championship is almost over. I should have left Brno only 10 pts or so behind Carlo, instead I lost 20. 40 points will be impossible to make up with this crappy scoring system ...

I could have won the second race if Roger did not close the door on me, sending me into a spin. I guess he did not see me as he cleanly let me pass when I caught him once again later.
Worst simracing evening of the year for me really, never been so disapointed. Good thing there's a summer break now.
I hope you guys had fun tho, and grats Jérémy for your first win at HSO.
Pas besoin de dire que je suis completement dégouté là. Encore une deconnection alors que j'étais confortablement en tête de la course 1 et maintenant le championnat est quasi plié. J'aurais du partir de Brno avec 10 points de retard sur Carlo, à la place j'en ai 40, impossible à rattraper avec ce foutu barème ...

J'aurais pu gagner la deuxième course si Roger ne m'avait pas fermé la porte et envoyé en spin, je suppose qu'il ne m'a pas vu, vu qu'il m'a bien ouvert la porte quand je l'ai rejoins plus tard.
Pire soirée de simracing de l'année franchement, j'ai jamais été aussi déçu. Bonne chose que ce soit la pause estivale maintenant.
Enfin j'espère que vous vous êtes amusés, et bravo Jérémy pour ta premiere victoire chez HSO.

two very good races tonight

first race: wild, brutal battle with Antoine
several bumps in our cars but no crash for many laps
I'm not used to "barbarian style" racing, but I'm getting better quickly
one of my best fight in DTM
it ends at curve 1, I'm outside and Antoine inside gone wide, touched me and crashed
at the end, I got back to Gérard, an old habit

second race: a bit spoiled by two spins caused by being pushed...
consecutive grass excursions made me lost contact with the head of the pack...
fortunately, nice end of race with Benjamin, fair and clean fight
and as usual, I finish just behind Gérard...

grats to Jeremy and Carlo ! thanks HSO !

2 month until next one now

Bonnes bagarres en 1ère manche avec Gianluca, j'arrive quand même à passer mais il me manquait un tour ou deux pour essayer de dépasser Pat qui apparaissait de temps en temps dans le viseur de la Merco. En seconde manche je me retrouve assez vite en bagarre avec la Sierra de Gianlucas et manque de chance, un boucan terrible à côté de moi. C'était un chat étranger qui est venu se coincer dans la chatière, obligé d'abandonner la course pour le libérer. Désolé Gianluca, on ne saura jamais qui allait remporter ce duel ma foi bien plaisant en seconde manche . Partie remise donc, le point positif c'est que je contrôle mieux la mercedes que la Sierra, j'ai plus de plaisir avec celle-ci.

Well.. after my good qualify I hoped to catch a top5 in one of two races.
But on the start my car had no power 7th 15th

Invisibles cars on the start


2-3 turns later I gain 3 positions and Carl take me out 12th 23th (np mate and yes, your car was also invisible)



Some laps later, someone take me out again, forgotten your name, but np.

On lap5 at the T2 braking, Josh's car went in spin like if I bumped him but there are no contact, anyway sorry.
In live your car made plenty of quick movements to back to forward.

I finish this 1st race disappointed in 13th position. Thank you Carl to gave me your position.


Start of the 2nd race was good, I did not stayed taped on the grid
But in the T1, big mess.. I have nowhere to go so I brake to ensure that the contact is not too rude, but behind me Philippe comes into my trunk
13th 20th
After that I gain positions after positions to finish 7th, not bad

Congrats winners and finishers.


Nice Car Gui.

Awful evening for me, I never liked the track and I did not have the slightest motivation... ended up suiciding in both races ... I definitely need the Summer break !

2 good results on a track i really don't like, but it suits very well for close battles.

Here the weight penalty had its part more than on other tracks, in fact my qualifying laptime was 1.4 slower than my fastest laptime in practice, qualified 3rd anyway, but i didn't have Gui's pace this time (about 0.5 slower both in qualy and race)

I started both races with hard fronts and medium rears

Race 1:
I had a bad start (as usual), but lost only 1 place to Jeremy, then he went wide at the return hairpin and went back to 3rd, then i caught JP and it starts a very tough battle for 2nd, that lasted all the race.
It was really hard to pass him, it was a quite clean battle, apart from his attempt of pushing me into the wall on the front straight.
This battle make us lost a lot of time and,when Gui had a disco (bad luck m8),Jeremy closed up and it became a 3 men battle for the lead.
With 3 laps to go i tried to pass him in the last chicane, but i lost the car and dropped back a bit.
On the last lap i closed all the 2s gap i had after that mistake and i was ready to make a move, at the last corner i tried to enter it a little bit wide to have a better exit, but JP was just in front of me and i couldn't accelerate earlier than him and i finished 3rd, not a bad result indeed.

Race 2:
After my usual bad start i had a nice battle for 2nd with Tiago's Sierra (it lasted 2 laps) i managed to pass him in the middle section of the track, but Jeremy was already 2.5s ahead.
So i did my fastest laps of the evening (high 11's) and i closed all the gap on lap 12.
Then it started a nice and clean battle with him, i finally managed to pass him on the inside at T4, and kept him back until the checkered flag.

See you after the summer break in Avus (another track i don't like, with the Norisring)!

The championship is not over yet, with 16 races left i just need 2 DNF's to let you pass me in the standings

That's strange, I edited your message, the 2 boxes "Disable BBCode in this post" and "Disable smilies in this post" were checked.

Thx m8

I think our forum provider is going through some updates lately, this might explain why some sigs (Paul, Julien) do not work properly too .

ce sont les flash qui ne fonctionnaient pas tous.

Désolé Gui, pour mon départ quelque peu loupé dans la seconde course.

Faites-moi contrôler la voiture de Gui , je veux bien croire qu'il vole bas en course , il y a de la triche là dessous.
Blague à part j'ai eu le problème à Sebring à l'entrainement mis à part que ma voiture à moi ressemblait à une moissoneuse-batteuse de compétition, j'avais même posté avec photo. J'ai coché l'anti-leasing comme on m'a dit, ça n'a rien fait , pour la course quelques jours plus tard, le problème avait disparu.
Pour en revenir au chat, bien sûr que cette fois j'ai compris pourquoi Gui dit "pas de chat en course"
P.S. j'aime bien la photo car on voit ma Merco, quel pub !!!
