Full moderation of lap one red zone

LAP ONE RED ZONE: Full moderation from race start to the exit of la cuvette de Couard.

BEWARE, everybody needs practices before racing in Montlhery.

The first time I raced here, with the GPLRACER league, I did not even finish the 1st lap ...
You need to be very cautious especially at the terrific Cuvette de Couard.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to race next Tuesday.

Good luck !

Hi guys!

I was hoping to race tonight but I'm having trouble getting online into the sim.

I'm using a separate install thru GEM because my original install won't run the 66 mod. But when i connect it goes to the in-game multiplayer instead. It's quarter past 9 now so i guess i'll miss this one. Sorry about that but hopefully i get it fixed for the next round. :)

 Not a single engine blow all practice then boom before I even complete lap 1 :'( :'( :'( :'( Sorry Clive. I was hoping to keep you company tonight. Good luck everyone.

Maybe if you had survived and made a race of it, I might have stayed awake!! lol I blame you entirely!! ::)

I was cruising and still extending my lead steadily after you vanished and ( I thought)  only had to drive around to claim the podium. But...to finish first, first you have to finish!!  and daydreaming on the straight is a sure way to miss braking and turn in points. Guess which I did??!! :stupid:

I was looking forward to an interesting battle with Ronnie's big Brabham against my baby BRM powered rollerskate, it could have been great fun.

grats to the podium and the finishers !!

To crash while leading takes very little skill.  To disco on the last lap takes more patience.  My unreliable connection can't always be made to do that.  I saw no-one lapped, so I've a multitude lost to the Ethernet 'ere! >:(  Grumble!

Unlucky Martin!  A real pity, we were looking good for a very rare Antipasti 1-2!!!  In fact before Fran dropped out we were Antipasti 2-3-4!!  :o

Well I was cruising in last. Didn't do much prep and had no setup but took the Eagle because Tommy van O has released a graphics update. My pace down the straight was uncompetitive but it was the spins killed me.

Had to stop after lap 8 as my sister called to wish me Happy Birthday. (47 :() and as she is my elder sister, I had to take it...

I must say sorry to someone with a Lotus.During the lap 1 I have touched his car convinced to have enough space on the left,probably he have increased the braking when i was behind.(I must look the replay to understand which one was)
Anyway before lap 7 all OK, after a sequence of error until the fatal error at the Cuvette de Couard ,probably approached with a speed slightly faster than the normal.The car ended in a ditch without the possibility to move.My first experience with this division is started not bad (4 place in the first 4 laps)but ends bad.

 :clap: :clap: :clap:Happy 47th Birthday Paul :clap: :clap: :clap:

....so young! ::)

Thank you... it's all over now :(

Happy Birthday Paul ( belated)

So you should be nursing a hangover and wondering what happened and where the traffic cone came from? There is ALWAYS a traffic cone ;D

Happy birthday also from me.

Many happy belated returns Paul.

Or, 2x traffic lights not working signs.  In the hall, either side of the front door.   Apparently.

Anyway, happy Birthday whatever you ended up with :)

2 DVDs and a book :)

Beer tonight!

You deserve it mate, happy birthday :clap:.

sorry to miss this one ....... :-\......i like Montlhéry  :'(     
 happy birthday Paul      ;)

Ciao Francesco, it is somehow like David said: Nearly in every City are people with that same name. Essen is about only 50km away from my Home. Even around where I live now there are others with the same name which I don´t know. May someone remember once there was a Race-team Gebhardt-Motorsport in the Group C/C2 Endurance World Championship.  But even with them I have no relationship.  :)
And the Millionaire from America still gives no sign that he knows me.  :D
