Apologies to Larry for the bump in Carosel. I recieved the gentlest tap in the world up the rear in L1 and this seemed to result in my having no down force what so ever as a result.
The back end lost it while I was beside you and I had no way of controlling it.

I Quit as I frankly can't be bothered with these.
You may as well remove me from this championship Jeffery, I suspect Herpes may be more enjoyable than these cars (catching it at least) and I will be missing the final rounds anyway as have been asked to go to Japan for a few weeks for business...
Hopefully I'll be back in time for the next round of proper cars  ;)

I'm really starting to hate this car...

Such a shame I messed this one up myself.

Had a great battle with Felix first few laps as I was trying to memorize his braking points so I could get alongside for a few corners, then Matteo caught up and I had to defend my place.
Was coming into T1 on the inside, which worked fine the lap before, though this time I decided to switch down to 3rd to get some extra oompfh out the corner, but this just resulted in me losing the rear and spinning around.
Apologies to nfsw who got caught up in a pirrouetting me  :angel:

 ;D Great to be back on a Wed evening after several weeks away. Had no praccy and never driven this car before so didn't have any pace, still had some fun close racing, thanks to all.

Bit of a lonely race but chuffed to finish 4th with so many quick drivers around. And top Team Shark scorer, can't remember the last time that happened!

sorry i didn't race, same as last week i had to work late, if there is any one that wants to go on and its full please take my place.

i'm hoping that next wednesday i will be getting home in good time.

Pleased to finish 3rd and first podium in a long while  :)

Had a reasonable race but same as last week for me, fun first 25 minutes then dull lonely hotlapping for last 20 minutes  :(. Nobody within 15 secs of me! :boat: ;)
Enjoyed hanging on to the fast train ahead for a while but once a few had their incidents it was rather monotonous.

Knock 5 mins off there's a good chap  ;)

Did my practice laps with 100l and mediums, so when qually came, it was the first time on softs. Eventhough the left were red, the temps were fine, so again it felt like the app just makes it look worst than it is. So obviously I was happy with pole, as I expected Maikel or Felix  to take it from me :).

First lap of the race I was able to create a bit of a gap to Felix in 2nd, as he was battling. I love how these cars look in the replay  ;D.

As soon as Felix was released of Matteo he gained a bit on me, so I thought, oh boy, he is released now and I need to step it up.
Managed to not mess it up and try to manage the gap.


No worries, I knew these cars weren't for you, so I was already surprised to see you join, Thanks for trying it tho :).


Hope so too, as I think they'll be more up your alley.


Then you are going to have fun first 20 minutes and again boring last 20. So next week another 5 minutes off until we end up with 1 lap race, and we all know what you thought of the 1 lap qually ;)  ;D.

Don't blame the 45 minutes, blame your rivals for not keeping you company  ;)

i do blame them!  Slackers  ;D

5mins would go some way to relieving the late race boredom that is otherwise souring a good car and track combo series  ;) The cars don't even move about too much on worn rubber so there is no late drama.

Damn, I didn't even try soft tyres! just thought you quick honchos were 1 sec quicker than me in qually trim. :P

Tough race for me :(
During the practice sessions I focused on the race setup and I was quite satisfied with my pace. During Quali I didn't bother to use the soft slicks as they're never really working for me anyway and did a lap on mediums close to my pb. Started P5 as expected and was able to keep up with the guys in front for the first three laps when Maikel suddenly spun at T1. Not sure if it was possible to avoid his car, but I only realised what happened when I came around the corner, which was way too late to react properly . The impact was quite hard which resulted in heavy aero and suspension damage for me. Nevertheless I decided to continue the race. With lap times around 2:08 I finished on P7 at the end

Well I was glad the race wasn't 50 minutes then, otherwise NFSW55 would have caught me for 6Th. ;D The start was good, with the first half of of the lap side by side with other cars. First half of the race i had a tussle with Simon, but he was a tad faster so i saw him and Pete taking off lap by lap.
The final 15 minutes we had a great battle between me, Goldtop (good to see you racing AC again), Bob and NFSW55 with lots of good overtaking. Managed a nice 6Th place finish and with teammate MJ on the rostrum we are doing well in the teamchampionship too. Lets catch us some shark.  :P
