NGT Sprint Cup - Season 2, Round 1, Barcelona - Oct 18th

[popabawa]

Nice one guys, I'm looking at the replays and will clearly be all set to deal out the ass whooping you all so richly deserve!!!

Well said Paul, I'm sure you'll find those 4s per lap you'll need from somewhere 

[PaulW]

I found 5. Now does anyone need any tips? 

Nah, I take exactly the same line as you all. I must carry less speed into/out of corners or something...

[Mike Wrightson]

 

Lost connection during qually and despite the lobby showing only 23 players on the server, it said it was full and wouldn't let me back in.

Great. 

[Edza]

Fekin PC crashed after all my tweaking! grrrr....

Mike: could have sworn you were there fighting with me in the few laps I did get in....

Time to turn my graphics card down a bit methinks.

Gutted with a capital G

Driving well in 9th, battelling with Ginster and my car lurches left under braking at the end of the main straight. Scared Im gonna take my teamy out, I floor the car straight across in front of him, hit the tyre wall across the road and puncture

Bugger bugger bugger.l

Great. 

Exactly the same happened to me! Gutted!!

Maybe another one afterwards? Or does that not happen in these races?

[Truetom]

Seems like I was too late, server was full. SAme as Locutus and Don. Too bad, though it's nice too a full server. 

[Simon Gymer]

Well done Mat, Mo and Pedro for the top 3!

No way could I match your pace in my Morgan. A very dull race for me, didn't race a single soul all race, passed the occasional back marker, but very dull. On the plus side the Morgan works a treat for 40 mins. Tyres felt ok, easy to drive, not a single lock up or mistake the whole race.

Matjaz, get that Vertigo out, you're way too quick!

Willier, thx for self sacrifice. Gutted, twas a good battle with my morgan so slow on straights but nimble in corners. Sure we will do it again .

Congrats to matj, shark and teamy mo.

Great. 

Feel bad about that Mike, you popped out I popped in.
I was waiting in the lobby and saw only 23 connected so jumped in(I was a little late arriving in the first place). Feel free to throw some abuse in my direction :'(
Don.

I piled into the back of your stationary car Edza, followed closely by Aagramn who couldn't avoid me :'(
No worries, these things happen but it'll be worth tweaking and testing in a fun race before the next championship event perhaps.

Pit crew said I should pit for aero damage but the exterior didn't look too bad. The rear downforce was a bit low though and I spent the rest of the race out of sorts. Oh well, still enjoyable and had a few good fights for places in the teens. Most notably with Picnic- good close racing including a nice 2 by 2 formation maneuver through banc sabadell and europcar. Couldn't keep the back in check and span 2 or 3 further times- lost count of the number of times I swapped places with Jam at the end!

Onwards and upwards, thanks everyone

Had a mare for my first race of the new season, had a small spin on lap 5 rejoined, got half way round the lap to find a burgundy Porsche sitting in the middle of the track not moving (damaged/lag/warp?), had no-where to go but straight into the gravel, lost about half a minute, got so angry   and lost concentration completely and promptly went off under braking at the end of the following straight...40 secs in the kitty litter   :'(  
Race was over really from that point on  :'(

Disaster, apologies to my teamies.....slunks off to the back of the pit for a cry :'(

[JonM_uk]

Pretty pleased with the race overall   Quallied 2nd which was suprising and stuck meds on same setup for the race. Just drove around in second for about 25mins having a nice little battle with Mo who was a bit quicker than us so had a good time trying to keep him behind    but then I made a mistake going into Repsol and slid wide letting Mo through. 3-4 laps later going into the same bend changed down from 4th to 1st and spun out   Finished the race in 5th   And starting to get a feel for the F360   Grats Matjaz, forget about the Vertigo and get the elise out instead

Replay uploaded and in the 3 mins I was on the phone someone else imported the results  Team work, don't you love it

[Aagramn]

Enjoyed that. Was pleased to qual 9th in the Mosler. Unfortunately a couple laps in a car in front of me had 1fps or PC crash and was stationary in a braking zone. I flew off the track to avoid him, lost me a lot of time as I had to drive through a lot of gravel to find a safe place to rejoin. Pushed me back to 17th. Suffered some aero damage which seemed to slow the Mosler down quite a bit. Had a solid race after that and worked my way back up to 10th.

Congrats to Matjas for another win. Was good to have more of a mix of cars on the grid instead of the usual procession of 360s. Thought the extra 10 minutes made things more interesting as the tyres were noticeably worn at the end.

Results up (it was me Picnic  )
