 ??? thank you Doni ! it's a realy good professional stuff here !!!..... what to said after so mutch season !? .....there is still some drivers who don't care about the other..... so  why pretends to be professinal ?
...I got a warning in Montjuic juste because I try to pass a slower pilote who block me since 2 laps , then at lap 3 turn 1, he still keep the inside to block me again but he goes to far , then he open unvolontary the door , then I dive to the apex.....at this momment, the action is clean, but Ronnie  come back on my way ( must have more than enought room on the right side of the road ...but no!! ) and there is no contact on the reaplay ...I am sorry but I think I am not in fault on this race incident, and I don't ending his race at all !...( not like Ronnie does last year at Monza  whith out report from me !! ).... every year it's appen on me , so I ask myself if I will continue this serrie cause it's look like some guys have not mutch respect for ( me ?) the others guys.....
in Montjuic ,Iam sanctioned but I do nothing wrong, and Ronnie got nothing , so he can still have a unfair driving ......

.....gentlemen time looks far away !!....

....and yes Iam furious !...all this time lost  !!

Sorry we clashed Axel and I assume it ended your race early.

As you can see from above I'm not too popular but hey such is life. Sorry for not being fast enough Tris....if only I could change gears as fast as you  ::)

Grats again to Tim, Donni and Rob. Thnx again for the racing Clive and next time Dean make a few mistakes to help me catch up  :P

See you all at the next one.

Haven't watched the replay yet, but I know I owe Tris an apology for lap 1 contact. You braked sooner than I was expecting (hadn't been expecting to fight with you at all). Very glad to see you continue, not even a lost place from what I saw.


Oh, I most certainly did (watch my replay :P ).

Sorry to hear Tristan. I am sympathetic, I think sometimes some drivers are too agressive making a move, or being too defensive at times. It's not characteristic for Doni and he immediatly spoke of the incident after the race...

With all due respect, to all: watch my fight with Doni this race, and see that it can be done clean.

Quali was great, got a slight tow from Doni in my best lap, P3 in the T77 :)

Had a good start, Tristan bogged down and that put him in a vulnerable position. Got past and was second. Could hang on to Axel, was close two times under braking, also had Tim close behind, who was very patient with me. Then at the backstraight Tim drafted past me, and me being on the inside lifted/braked about 100m early and lost also a spot to Ray.

Some laps later Ray and Axel collided, especially Axel suffered :( I couldn't avoid Ray despite my attempts. Lost 5s in that lap and Doni got by. Had an epic fight with Doni, who refused to yield. Got past a few times, made some little mistakes, and Doni got by again. Also Dean passed me at the backstraight after a mistake from me, but got the position back when he made a mistake. Then got back to Doni, who ran faster towards the end, and finally couldn't put him into a mistake nor make a move on him despite being in front for some moments... also a great two wide for half a lap or so :P

Doni, it's a shame you had contact with Tris, but a great drive to redeem yourself...won't help for Tris though...enjoyed that very much personally, but tough luck for Tris and Axel...

Grats Tim, flawless win, and also great job Doni and well done finishers ;)

Congratulations to Tim!  Another fine drive!

Great fun dicing with you, Robert.  My, but you can make the little T77 fly.  I even threw an F3 weave in there at one point trying to shake you off.  More just for laffs, really, as I didn't think that it had a ghost of a chance of succeeding.

Tristan...  So sorry to have punted you off but slagging me here just isn't on with or without the facts.  I'm a little mystified as to how I could overrun you in the braking zone as my dead-stock Logitech G25 brake pedal won't deliver anything like the braking power of others and I shut down for the hairpin a bit early compared to most and did so in this case.  I'm also going to check the server replay cap very closely to verify my impression that you were generally off the pace in the early laps...vis Dean overrunning you earlier...and the lack of straightaway speed.  You qualified on the pole a full second faster than I.  There's no way I should have caught you so easily on the main straight.  Was there something wrong with your controller?  Whatever the outcome, I am indeed sorry to have been party to ending your race so dramatically early.

I've just scanned the server replay cap and it confirms the impression I got from my personal cap.

Tristan...  You were way off the pace for some reason.  You barely reached 150mph on the main straight in the 2-1/2 laps you ran.  That's pedestrian.  I loaded some of your laps(including your pole winning lap)into GPLRA and it's like you're a different person or in a different car.  You're nowhere near on the pace.  Not even compared to me and that's saying something!  LOL!

Either you or your car(failed to load the proper race setup?)or your controller was out to lunch and as a consequence, I got sucked in to drilling you despite being cautious.  

That will be the warp then?  Reality warp  :laugh:

Numbers have been a down a little  this season so I am sure you will welcome some new drivers to Pros.
Philippe Girard has set some very quick times on the Ams grid but not been able to convert them into points due to connection problems. We have agreed a mid-term promotion to the Pros might work out better.
Also Jani Posta is joining us from Groundhog.

Welcome aboard guys - and Good luck  :)

Excellent news, thanks guys.

HI Phillipe and Jani.

I have raced against Jani many times in the past, maybe a few of the other Groundhog and ex GBGPL guys will join us too. I know they will all be welcome.

I am very pleased to join the pro server. I thank you for your welcome. I will not play with you winning, but I would obviously less sad if I am disconnected again!  :angel: :angel:

Welcome Jani and Philippe. Hope your connection issues will be resolved. Also welcome to Roo Mellor, who already had registered, and I hope he will join from now on as well! ;)

Great assets to this divison, who will increase the competition throughout the field :)

Great to have Jani and Philippe joining us...and Roo too..... still climbing boulders in Germany Roo??  ;)
