Gutted, was really looking forward to this race as love chucking the beast of a saleen around here. Think i had a top 10 finish in me but alas after just a few laps i got a sideways nudge into the gravel down at Fagnes, cooked the tyres up a bit getting going again and as a result ran a little wide at La source. Gave the tyre wall the slightest of nudges and got a flaming puncture to the front right tyre :'( This meant race over as i would have had to crawl the entire lap back to the pits on 3 wheels. Shame as i was loving that V8 sound in the Ardennes ! Watched some of the race from the pits and it looked great. Congrats to the winner.

Qually wasn't so hot for me starting 8th as I was over a second off my new PB set a few mins earlier The race was quite different as I managed to gain 6 places and finished a hard earned 2nd place. Had a constant battle from start to almost the finish with various people , allthough with about 8 mins to go and Ruskus now in 3rd the front tyres did feel a little bit worse for wear and I was trying to save the poor old V8 from melting by short shifting etc, probably not advisable with Ruskus less than 2 seconds behind. but managed to hold on in the end. Unlucky Jon Congrats Radius and the other guys for a great race, not too bad eh Ruskus we still had two podiums.

On grid for you lot up a tree for me then shot off into the sky like harry potter and was DQ for going wrong way up track. LMAO I actually clicked on you in the monitor just as you shot up in the air, was so funny. But it happened just as the server rolled over to Race so I assume your airborne antics got it confused, I could see your car upside down jumping around then DQ. Lol bad luck. As for my race, well I couldnt get anywhere near my PB of a low 2.12 but qualified 18th. A bit of carnage saw me following Truetom for a lap or two until he dissapeared into the blue yonder. Then alone and quite safe but a mistake allowed Martin to catch up and the rest of the race was about staying ahead of him. He fluctuated between 4 secs and 0.8 secs behind as we both made a couple of mistakes. Made my second race fun and was not dissapointed with 11th.

made sure I qually last due to suspect connection. On grid for you lot up a tree for me then shot off into the sky like harry potter
That's consistent with the theory that it's a bad connection which causes crazy grid placement. It's no consolation for you though. :'(

What ISP are you with Gerald? I'm with Tiscali (it's free for me, the only reason), and I have a suspicion they're rate-shaping the connection, probably to prevent lots of P2P download traffic. Sadly this also means that connections to the lobby or GTR2 servers are also rate-limited. If I port-forward the lobby connection via port 23 for example, I can get the lobby to work nicely. Sadly I can't log into any servers. This happens from about 7:30 until 9:30pm, every single night. I'm *this* close to swapping ISPs, even if it does mean having to pay for it. Any suggestions for decent broadband ISPs? What's that Sky package like (Easynet as was) ?

good racin' !!!! quali'd fourth and suspected people didn't get there best laps in! race start i was keeping FredQ in my sights (just) in fourth and was being caught by Leuven, who got past.... shortly afterwards I rode the inside kerb on the second apex of pouhon and spun down the grass (no contact with wall thank god), which was a daft thing to do anyway!!! went from 5th to 9th in 10 secs! Closed the small gap to pablo, could have passed him at one point when he had a bad eau rouge exit and i knew he was faster (team orders! lol) so stayed behind....then i spun braking into bus stop at the half-way point and hit wall to burst into flames!!!! i knew i wud have had suspension damage but the fire was a suprise! Wanted to finish, but good racing as ever with you guys! GRATS to Radius btw!!!!!!! And unlucky Jon

Just saw the replay,my car disappears going into Fagnes (17thplace) and pops up(in 12th place!!) just before entering Stavelot right in between Flybri and Ivansmiven,strange never had this before.So the unlucky 28cd guy was Flybri,sorry again. Jan

I saw that Jan and wondered how you had appeared from a couple of cars back to be suddenly shown slamming into another car and the barriers ahead of me....weird That must have been some warp Was amazed at getting my puncture , have had much worse contacts with a barrier than that gentle brush and not suffered any tyre damage.

I could have ntl for free as well but could not get their system to work its all still cabled up so may give it a try. cheers gerald

No wireless stuff right, as they are not (really) supported by GTR2
