No server up again, night before race night  ???

Should be quite fun with an even grid. Stay off the kerbs unless you want to visit the wall! Once these lose control its race over it seems.

That's odd, just as MarkJ and I were about to cross the line for the finish the server disconnected everyone I think. Certainly got booted myself.

Was a fairly dull race until I span at T1 and then caught Bob and chased down Mark who was just too far ahead for me to catch. Another 5 laps I reckon.  ;)

Sry Frex for the shunt, I left my braking a little late.

Good tussle with Hal before he had to take a penalty.

*Snap*, but that's true of me every race. Just turn up, press the pedals, turn the wheel off we go. A car is a car.

Whoohoo, finished a fine 4th behind the alie-bums  :)

Hadn't done any praccy other than a quick two recon laps last night and missed all this eves practise and half of qually but thankfully got into the groove quickly. Didn't get the close racing I was expecting in these cars other than laps 1&2 then spent whole race with a 3-5+ sec gap either side.

The relentless shark kept me pressed until the very end  :)

I have generic base setup for most cars so no problem with that.
More than half a race I was managing my tyres - in lap 12 they were at 98 (read 80 something %) ...

When I took the gift, plan was not to push rather to manage the gap. I couldn`t match your lap times when I was behind but, when I hit in front, your tussle helped a bit.
Last 2 laps was just keeping it on track. Wasn`t look at mirror at all ...

Getting punted fits in the profile, next to headlight flashing and track cutting  :thumbup2:

Ok, no worries. Apologies to you also for the little contact on lap 1 - I wasn't planning to pass there, it just sort of happened..

Shame though that the close times in qually (8 cars separated by 3 tenths) did not translate into much close racing in the midfield. I just bumbled around on my own after lap 1. Congrats podium.

3 cars in front of me all took each other out on the old s/f straight!!  :o not quite sure how they managed that but was funny to watch  ;D though prob removed a great 4 way battle to the end.
27 laps also felt 5 laps too many in these fairly dull cars, albeit I enjoyed racing then when others were close by (lap1).

Again if we'd promoted the event better then may get bigger grids. Still not a single post from Srouk on the dedicated online racing sim section of the kunos site, and they just announced their 100,000th sign up to their website! Go figure  :P
We should have a nice swanky Srouk banner page on there as an advert to attract more racers.  :)

Full promotion will come in time, when everything else is set up. I don't want to go promoting too much when we don't have the necessary things in place to have proper championships yet.

I will put a post up on there soon though, just working on formatting it at the moment.

Yep, good racing. :)

I managed to run out of fuel and had to pit.

Surprised I did better then my normal abysmal performance, in qually but on the first lap seemed to get taken out by a warping car. Managed to crawl back up the field. Shame about the server restarting!

The warping car was me, unfortunately. Sorry about that. :(
It's annoying, especially since my 'net connection had been almost flawless up until that point.  ???

Yeah, bad luck Tibs. I knew it was you as Pete checked the replay when he quit out, but didnt want to finger point. I did notice your ping was around 50 odd, bit higher than most. Need to get onto the ISP!
