Assuming that i wouldn't finish in better position than my fantastic team mates, i decided to go with the Mustang. Even when it's one of the most docile V8's on track, fun is guaranteed Considering i was 3-4 secs. slower than Mark's Mustang i just tried to keep my ass on the track, which gave me nice fights in the back group from behind i was also spectator of 'The Dance of the 911's' Thanks for fun ladies! looking forward to next race!

Great race for me but first things first, apologies to Ade, at first lap we tried to pass across the fast chicane at the same time and that caused his crash into the barrier and post-chain reaction crash just before Tabac. I heard his engine reving down and thought he was letting me pass first, but i was wrong Thanks to everyone who i lapped for making easy the maneuver again apologies to phspok for hold his race up re-lapping him a few times because of my spins in front of him After several barrier hits my car was nearly undriveable in some sections. Thanks for hosting the server and grats to everyone who appeared!

This was my first online race in months, i enjoyed every single moment on track. Unfortunately, i couldn't finish the race. As Jose said, i had a nice ride with him during some laps, then, my usual dramatic event turned up, i couldn't avoid a car which had spun in the middle of the line After that, box service was required in order to fix suspension, as the car was behaving strangely. In addition, i had some overheating probs with rear left tyre, i guess, as phspok said, that the setup needed some tweaks. My race finished when i hit the wall losing front left wheel :'( Anyway, i'm glad some racers liked my setup, it's a pleasure to share with you guys Cheers!

I faced this race as a big challenge as well as a test session. I always drive with keyboard, but this time I had the chance to take the wheel out of the box (logistics issue hehe). I had done a first test on Sunday with no good sensations, found the car very unstable while braking and weird ffb response. At Oscherleben my cornering speed was clearly low, maybe because of the setup, and lost traction easily. After being lapped twice I felt very tired, my back was claiming for a rest (need to find another position or chair) so I decided to enter the pits for a while. Went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner and... forgot completely the race!!! later on I noticed that I was the only one in the server... ehem... I apologized if caused some kind of trouble to other drivers while pitting or whatever... Grats to Henry, Navin and Phil

Grats to Pelle, Paulo and Sqter! Did a few changes on the setup before the start, which allowed me to last 20 laps on the track Was a great pleasure to join the spin party, at first I enjoyed a lot, had a nice set of laps fighting with Tony and Bill, but i soon felt tired of trying to constantly control the back at the slow corners. Anyway, the reason why I retired was because pressed ESC by mistake when I was about to hit the barrier. Was a knee-jerk reaction , I always like to finish every race despite being the last of the bunch.

Well, what can i say... this was really disappointing to me. Started from the back, but as the schnitzer power were emerging, i could overtake some cars before arriving at the 180° turn Unfortunately, missed the braking point as i was taking a look at the rearview mirror. As a result i was about to make a BIG mess, therefore i could do no other thing than press ESC key just before wrecking other cars, race over for me

Despite being lapped twice, and finishing at the last position, was a funny night. I finally chose the Alpina as i felt more comfortable on it, also the setup that firstly did for the Schnitzer worked better on the Alpina with some minor changes. It allowed me to start from 6th position, anyway i did a mistake at the start that cost me few positions, and after other mistakes i found myself on no-one's land. Little by little i caught phspok (Matt??) with whom i had some funny laps Drove over those things semi-buried on the corners and did other mistakes that finally pushed me to the last position. Grats to Paulo, Sqter and Ade!

First of all, I'd like to apologize to ginsters and cap7, because of the alfa's crappy rearview mirror, sometimes I didn't let them overtake me cleanly, sorry guys! with those cars I should have used the virtual mirror. Also my apology to sqter, who I hit at the first turn causing the little mess Was a big challenge to take these cars to the finish line. I could keep my pace without doing big mistakes until the early first pitstop, I believed the game info that showed only 16 laps with full tank After the second pitstop I checked fuel level at XD! and realized that I could do almost 30 laps, had to reconsider the strategy but all was useless as I had threw away any posibility of reaching podium doing my usual driving mistakes, anyway I had lots of fun fighting with other drivers Grats to winners & finishers!
