GLA and have FUN

I have to skip this one! Have a good race guys!

sry everyone. simply poor concentration :-[

That's race !

having fun race with Francesco and then Doni ...until you collected our cars at the end of lap 13  :-\

Had a nice race with Axel, but the end was an anti-climax. Maybe shouldn't have put it outside in Ascari, but thought Axel was aware of it...

Protos was too strong, even when it won't turn that well...

Grats Dean ;)

SORRY Rob, I was totally surprised and did not expect you there  :'(

But was a fantastic drive all in all, shame we gave the cup to a "cherry picker"  :P

No worries Axel. I realize I hadn't done that move whole race. It's just often late race I get more agressive and try "new" things. You can argue who was wrong or right, I took the risk going outside, relying on the fact you were aware. Just a shame we couldn't pull of a close finish, but great racing anyway! ;)

Dean crossed the line first, so he deserved to win, it's that simple! :)

I'm not worried ;)

IMO was just a misunderstanding and my fault to not look where you are in that position ::)

Trade you for a Lotus that turns too well, but can hardly get out of its own way?  :D


Yeah, Greg almost won that lottery, between me seeing the yellow flags and checking Prib to see who's having the issue ahead, and looking back down to "ho shit car on the track!!!", narrowly avoided, then the realization it was the leaders I'd just passed, so the quick calculation of how long the gap back to Greg will hold out if I don't F up any more, while blowing past my braking point for Para. :doh:

Yes,was fun until the incident but after i have lost interest and attention,so i have done a error at Parabolica.
In the replay i was stanned to view yor car going to the pit in flame and with only 1 wheel,something not realistic of GPL.

That happens when your computer decides that he took more damage than actually happened (according to his computer or the server, wherever damage is calculated for multiplayer, I'm unsure), and the correction hasn't got back through the system yet. One of those things you have to ignore, or laugh at.  :laugh:

I was a bit rusty, been out of it for a while and had a hard time concentrating. I took the Protos coupled with a Greger Huttu Lotus 49 setup, which I modified to make the back end slide more, which I like. I kinda went over the top with that a bit I think, bit too much toe out at the rear and too much rear roll bar, but there was still a relatively accessible sweet spot there, so it was just a matter of how well I could keep my concentration.

Did have a good pace despite some frame rate issues, and ended up P4 even though I didn't have a tow. Start was good but a bit hairy when Axel forgot where I was for a second and we almost tangled on our way to Curva Grande :D . Got through cleanly until exiting Lesmo 2. I saw Roo having troubles and a huge tankslapper resulted in him collecting me and giving the roll hoop a good workout :) .

After the reset and stop and go I was dead last, but decided to carry on regardless as the Protos actually handled quite nice. Passed Bastian early on, before my concentration slipped and I forgot to slow sufficiently for Parabolica. Picked up Bastian again and ran the next 20 laps without any major mistakes or close calls, while the pace was good too, so happy with that :) . I managed to avoid the carnage at Parabolica where Dave, Roo, Francesco and Doni collided, and towards the end found Doni and Carlos fighting for P5. I slotted in behind them until I found a gap two laps later and got by them. Doni was able to follow me for a while before I was able to shake him off. In the last two laps I saw Axel appearing in the distance, but the race ended before I had a chance to catch him.

Glad to finish only 18 seconds back after being dead last after lap 1 :) .

Uff i was fighting with Doni and Carlos beginning of the race. Doni opened up a third lane into the straight towards parablica.

I was afraid there is not enough space and ran over Carlos wheel. fortunately i was affected most by my mistake but you lost some time guys. I'm sorry. No good overview from me here.

In the end, i finished.

Hi, Bastian...

Actually, I had realized that going three-wide on the run down to the Para might be overly aggressive at this early point in the race and backed off to give you room on the left.  Unfortunately, in just reviewing the replay cap, I am not visible in your mirrors and you couldn't have known that you had virtually half of the track width to play with.  Pity.

Hi Doni,

exactly ;)

I knew you were out there somewhere in the dead angle, not where and went to much to the right. :(
