I’ve tried to get on the practise server for 2 nights running but it doesn’t allow ukoff** (usual pw) nor leaving it blank  ???

Same here. Tried right now  ???

It shouldn't be pw protected as is doesn't have success ballast. Try the race pw.

My apologies I had left it with the race password enabled :( Restarted with no password just a moment ago.

Thanks Pete.

Did some offline laps, car is pretty cool here.  :)

When you driving a top quality proper track with ideal track surface- you are not regret the time spent on car setup. Every minute and lap passed brings a lot of fun to learn the car suit a track for you.  Very good  combo  :)

Not sure to be able to race this evening. If I'll have time for some training before the race I will join with pleasure, otherwise it's better to stay safe and avoid to ruin the race of the other drivers. Let's see  ???

I'm not gonna make it unfortunately, promised I'd help someone with moving. Shame as I was looking forward to this combo.  :'(

well despite the low turnout (7) I really enjoyed that race  :) and...finished 2nd   :o  :clap:

Had a lousy qually from turning up late and no low fuel runs but race was a cracker from lights to flag thanks to the close company of FMG who I harried for most of the race. That was pleasing enough just to be able to stay with him in a battle for 3rd. He was quicker in the middle section whereas I usually closed up in sector 1 and we were very close for a lot of the time until I got on a kerb that must be coated in Vaseline! After 20minutes of close chasing, that finally gave him a 2 sec breather but I followed persistently until he had an off on another kerb in the fast twisties. This was just as my rear tyres were worn down to red so I had a nervy last 10mins trying to keep ahead and I had to stay off all kerbs.
Just as I started to grasp I was on for a hard earned 3rd I came across Manteos trying to rejoin from the grass and found myself in an amazing 2nd place with 1 lap remaining. I had noticed he was getting more and more cut warnings ahead....tyres?   But Job done, best result in ages  :)

Yeah, congrats, you done a good job!  :) But as always, Felix was like a rocket , on hards. I don't know what tire wear he has at finish but in my hards and some car damage was too difficult to drive carefully.
It was fun and joyfull race for me because i had evening drinks in friend's birthday . Qualified P3rd, then had good start, taken 1 position from Matteo, but... car contact with him slightly mistaken in 1st turn fixing  me in second P. 3 first laps in hards was very challenging in defend from FMG , and aspecially from both Mark ( they was in meds ) Being slightly not fresh i made a true smiley  :o maneur in back straight in front of Mark J. ;D Please, dont kill me after that joke guys  ;D I just was happy to see you joined in last minute before Q  ::) I lost you in practice ;)
In 4th lap , in pos 2 i hit unknown for me road bump near oak tree turn, which momentary disbalancing my car and i going to long trip in green grass ocean, then returned to end of peloton. Game was over, and i finished 5, making many small mistakes and loosing pace. BTW sorry, Mark E for my bad passing a left conner after oak tree in lap 2. I has no car stability may be due car setup, which, may be, cause you walking to grass right behind me  here .  Combo was absolutely beautiful in softs in Q. Then i hate meds and hards in this car. I repeating  it as Kunos fault in all races.. so sorry.  :'( I still not sure about my next races due that... ???
Anyway, enjoy my first laps joy in small vid  :D
As always sorry for my bad english.

Thought I was keeping things together reasonably well in the race for the first few laps. But seemed to catch a slow Alexey right at the worst moment, in the fast left-hander after the climb up the hill. Realising I was going to hit him, I was focusing on the rapidly closing back end of a Maserati and went off.
