SEASON 31 Professionals Trophy (65) : Round 7  JEHONVILLE
It is the first time the UKGPL Circus is coming to Jehonville track.
Jehonville is a little Belgian town near Luxemburg boundary.
The Circuit de Jehonville Bertrix is a motorbike circuit which was used from 1982-1986.
The track is not easy at all and I recommend to do some practices before racing here !

Argh.  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Why am I the one getting turtled all the f***ing time?

Looked at the left flagman at the start, but obviously he was standing at the right side...so lost a spot to Dean at the start, but both Tris and Dean hit the barriers and spin. They block the track, nowhere to go for me. Big pile-up and lost the engine in the process...

Well, with a small grid we did not need half of them disposed of after 300mtrs!??. I managed to scrub off enough speed to avoid a major impact, but still got punted around.
Luckily I did not appear to have suffered much damage and got going again, dead last!!  :-\
It was about half a lap later that I realised that dead last was actually 4th place !! and I could still see Tris in 1st place, although that did not last too long as he got up to speed and vanished over the horizon.  :(

the next few laps were great fun trying to find a passing opportunity on Doni in his Fezza and Carlos right in front of him.  After several laps Carlos suddenly pulled over and both Doni and I were through, with Doni appearing to "put the hammer down"   and get away from my pesky Honda?? But only half a lap later he ran wide and discovered a rather hard wall.....leaving me running still last but now in 2nd place with about 30 laps still to go??

I had no chance of catching Tris, he was on an awesome pace, so my intenetion was to reach 50% and quit maybe saving Tris the trouble of doing all 35 laps too....no fun just clicking off the laps  ::)

But with 25 laps to go I got a screen freeze. I had a couple in off line testing and that rang alarm bells, then I had another during qually. So I cannot say that it was totally unexpected.  :-\ A real shame because this is a nice track and a real challenge to get a quick, clean lap.

Grats to Tris who might have made it to 50% and scored max points You were unbelievably quick in qually with a 1:13 sec lap. hard luck to all who got wrecked on Lap 1...but you did not miss much  ;)

FWIW Dean.
I went through a similar spell a couple of seasons ago, when in almost every race I was getting punted or involved in someone else's incidents. It really sucks, but all you can do is stick in there and put it down to experience...before you bang your head on the wall and go and get a beer!!!

...

well....quite a lonely race but still fun on this nice little track ....absolutly sorry for the first lap where I got horribles freeze , sometime 20fps !! sometime very long freeze!!...I was thinking :"it's finish :/"....but not !....all this freeze and lost fps stoped when I was alone on track...whith 23 laps to go , all was perfect !..... ;D

thx org. .... cu next one 8)

I dont know if i hit the fuel tank or gpl did not load race set,
but i ran out of fule after 5 laps. That is why i had to pull over.
I checked settings after and it was with the correct amount of fuel.
So, im must sertenlly hit the tank but did not notice.

Strange race for me.  :(

Grats to Tris!!

I will see you next event.

Greetings!
