bumpity...

anyone done any practice yet ???

i have done a few laps, the AC version of the car is easier to drive and the braking seems more consistent

stracker.simracing.org.uk:50041/lapstat? (http://stracker.simracing.org.uk:50041/lapstat?)

i guess not!  :P   has attendance to this website dropped off a cliff?  :'(

Been getting some laps in offline, be there Sunday.

I can't promise anything at the moment, but if I'll be able to make some practice laps on Sunday evening I'll join this race.

Hope to be there

See you :)

Sorry I'm away this weekend, so can't make this one.

I should be able to make it but I’m at Blancpain all day so might be tricky with Swimbo  ;D

I am back from my holiday in Spain. So if i can get behind the wheel early enough to do some practice laps i will join in tonight.

Should be able to make this one.

I just realized it was probably you who I raced against for most of the race, FMG? Really thought you were some random new guy lol. Going full incognito mode this time I guess ;D

 ;D Lost concentration 4 times, spun 4 times...…..maybe getting too old for this pastime  ::)

Blame SRO, they're really anal about you racing under your own name - fair enough for the GPL series I guess as that's broadcast and has a commentator - but I forgot that it would affect me everywhere else!
In the race I was dead chuffed to get passed you in the opening 3 corners, didn't quite expect it to work but was happy when it did.
I was even more amazed I held you off for so long, in modern stuff you're generally much faster than me :P

(Also would have thought you'd guess it was me from the occasional power slide through the chicanes :D )

Not brilliant race for me... Made 5 in qualy very far away from the top, made 2 mistakes in race, lost 2 positions and ended P7. Not really exciting...

I won't join next one due to short holidays...

Cheers
Alberto

My race report:

During qualifying I struggled a bit and couln't match my previous times.
But on my final attempt I did a lap good enough for pole, but somehow the timetable didn't recongnize my lap. Probably I went a bit too wide somewhere and didn't notice the message on top of the screen. So P2 it was.

I had the inside line for the start, so I couln'd carry as much speed through T1 as FMG did, which placed him alongside me for T2. My tires where still quite cold, so he went by easily.
After that I stayed close behind, but didn't feel comfortable enough to try any overtake. Max disapperaed in the distance and after 20 minutes of good and close racing FMG finally did a little mistake coming into Stowe so I was back in P2 :D Max was already something like 8 seconds ahead, so I didn't take any risk and tried to bring the car home safely which worked out.

All in all not the race I hoped for, but atleast I had fun driving against FMG.
Wd Max for the win ;)

;D

eh, not quite the race I had imagined it would be...

Qually wasn't great for me as I again failed to deliver a good lap (seems to be a thing lately, not sure why). Beating qually times in the race =  :wetfish:

Race was Ok, the first lap or so is tricky waiting for the tyres to warm up and not overdoing it while watching the mirror and hoping fmg or nsfw didn't find some magic grip to get through, but after that I started to gap them and then it was a solo run to the flag, working on keeping it smooth and not trying too hard ;)



Looking forward to the next race at Estoril,  I don't think I've driven that since Grand Prix 4 some millennia ago, so it'll be nice to have a new track to drive  :)
