My PC is out of order and i'm sorry to miss the race.probably also others.

Unlucky Fran. Hope you get it fixed soon.

I hope also,Windows don't start.

Not even in safe mode?

No,after the first step it crasch.

Check all cabels first to have good connection!!! Outside and inside the PC, remove all dust...

Do you make restore points? to backup Windows?

Try to start in save mode by pushing F8 button and set it back to "last working version"

Axel,is the last working version that don't start.
After a regular start is visible,for a fraction of second and impossible to read ,a blue screen with some data than crasch.After a block on a internet site,i have done a reset.
From the reset start the problem.

Do you make regular system backups? I schedule them every monday 12:05...
I make a "system snapshot" so I can restore my full system if the HDD is broken.
You are asked to make a rescue CD when you set it, so you can start the PC and restore the system.

Infortunately no.Tomorrow i go to a PC assistance.

Overheard in the Ferrari paddock, pre-race:


And guess which car I picked? :P

Grats Tris, Fulvio, Clive. Had some fun 'til the bottle was gone. Hope I stayed out of the way for the rest. Two cars that caught me on pit straight, 5 or 6 laps to go, you caught me by surprise, sorry I didn't move sooner.

Well, that was a seriously intense race!!! 
I got a good start and found myself in 3rd place behind Tris and Fulvio ...and that is how it stayed for the next 38 laps  :-\. That makes it sound like a boring race, but it was anything but.

I was stuck to the rear end of Fulvio's Ferrari and only managed to make 3 or 4 attempts to pass in the whole race because we were so evenly matched. Thanks to the backmarkers who allowed us through as our battle continued as this track is twisty in places and it is not easy to get off the racing line.

Tris was favourite to win with his pace in the Brabham, but Fulvio and myself probably helped him by battling between ourselves for lap after lap.
 Thanks to Fulvio for a great race  ;D

Not easy to race here with the Honda, but I'm satisfied with the final result.
If I am not mistaken, I should have enough points to win the Privateers championship.
That's a good thing because I will miss the next race and probably the last one too !

The "Hondola" was nice to drive on the long staight and had very good brakes, but on the twisty parts it wasn't funny.   

Could not join last weeks races, but will be back now for the tuesday, maybe Sunday

All going well until about the half way point. The Repco engine gave me enough drive up the big straight to stay ahead of Andreas for several laps. I lost concentration checking where Tristan was on Prib & ran wide. After that I had several other off track moments. Apology to Phil on the rejoin near the end. I thought there would be enough space to take the last corner on the inside. The replay shows a decent gap between the cars but there appeared to be a reaction where the GPL crash boxes touched. Glad to see that you straightened up.

I think you are right David.  Even if Billy wins the last two rounds and you don't race he still has to drop his 2 lowest scores (0 and 28). So subject to moderation that makes you champion. 
Congratulations  :clap:

Same for me.  Trying to move off line to let someone lap me was a disaster.  I'll just have to stick to my racing line in future until I can pull over without compromising myself too much. That is what it says in the rules but I can't help myself, I find it very uncomfortable getting in the way of lapping drivers.

No problem Bill. I noticed you had gone off trying to let Tristan by. I didn't want to take advantage. There is no satisfaction in overtaking if it isn't in a fair fight.

Really enjoyed that one, Qualified in 6th about where I expected looking at the opposition.

Was gifted 4th at the start when Cookie put 2 wheels on the grass and Dean hesitated. I didn't need anymore of an invitation and dived past on the inside down to Etalakaare persued by Arf. Arf got the inside line so tracked him around the outside and was able to outbrake him down into Varikkokaarre. A lap or so later I could see Cookie had also jumped Arf and was making his desire to take his spot back very obvious He got me with a copybook pass into Varikkokaarre on lap 4 and then promptly spun at VW-Mutka to gift me the place back.

He didn't lose any spots though and was back on my tail within the lap and tried the same move again on Lap 5. Unfortunately we tangled on the exit. I've checked the replay and I'm happy I didn't stray onto his line but his speed caused him to drift across so for me it was a racing incident. We both spun, but I was able to recover and found myself on the inside of Arf at VW-Mutka and was able to maintain my position. Shortly afterwards Dean appeared in my mirrors and we had a battle similar to Solitude where he was obviously faster but I was able to defend. Problem was both our lap times were suffering and the Clive/Fran battle was getting away from us so I let him through past the pits on Lap 17 as he was obviously faster than me and I figured he might drag us both up to the battle ahead. Unfortunately he blew it into Etalakaare a few laps later and I was back into 4th. Even in clear air I couldn't make much headway into Clive or Fran. I did close the gap when Clive had a small spin putting me within a few 100yds but that was as close as I got.

Cookie disappeared, Dean had engine problems and I ended up quite lonely for the latter part of the race. Then a bit of excitement as I cross the SF line with 2 to go, My engine began to splutter and a quick check showed 0.5g left. WTF! I had done several full race runs and was sure I had enough fuel.. :(

So dropped into the pits for a splash and dash. Still coming back out in 4th where I remained until the flag.

A tough track with not much time apart from the main straight to rest. Another new one for me reminded me a lot of Surfers Paradise, seemed to have a similar track surface (Slippery).

Congrats to Tris, Fran and Clive for the podium. Commiserations to the retirees.

It was a blast as always.

Thanks guys.

uuuum  ::) ::) pssssst John!  it wasn't Fran ahead of you, it was Fulvio who was battling with me.

 :oops:, Yes, I knew that. Fran even said he couldn't make the race. Senior moment, sorry Fulvio.
