I'm unable to see my tokens total.

I have tried hovering the mouse over everything I could find on the standings page to no avail.

Help please!.. im probably doing something stupid.

Paul

It seems it is not working. I see 100 tokens for everybody.

You drove Ferrari on first race so :
10 + 10 -15 = 5 tokens after the 1st race
and 5+10 = 15 tokens at the start of 2nd race.

You can drive any car except Lotus (20 tokens needed) and Eagle (17)   

Not your fault Paul, it was me that did something stupid. All fixed now.

David's advice is correct, you have 5 tokens after race 1 which is now showing correctly in the championship table.

thank you David. 

I think I may take the BT24.

Paul.

Cheers Phil.

will check out the token function. But I have decided to give the Brabham a try.

see you all there..

Whats ip number?

Awh, running second but after only a few laps my internet provider run into troubles and stopped service. So annoying!

Hope everyone else will enjoy a great race!

That was terrible.
Went rather cautious into T3 on the first lap, braked hard but still ran into the back of a preceding car. Even though the contact was low speed the  car flipped off track & rather than hitting Shift R I hit the Escape key.
Apologies to anyone on Teanspeak - I think the mic was still live when I made a couple of choice comments about my own driving.

You would think  Pro driver who is leading the race by 30 secs or so and 5-6 seconds faster than the car he is lapping could do so without ramming him off the track mid corner ,
 ??? ??? ??? 

Yeah good point Bernie, really sorry for ending your race.  Had you already used your shift R?  No excuses, you just braked more than I expected.  I struggled a bit getting through traffic, not that anyone was being difficult, I need to work on that.

Thanks for the race guys,

Bob

It was almost a great race . . .

I qualified 5th, took 4th at the green flag, and by the start of the third lap I was sitting second due to a disco and an error by cars in front. I held on to 2nd, fighting off all comers, until I went into the weeds in T1 on L24, spooked by a car I was trying to lap. It wasn't his fault, just my own twitching brain. That dropped me into third behind Doni, who'd been dogging me for 15+ laps or more. With two laps to go I went off in T1 again and dropped into fourth behind AnGex. Before I could give away any more positions, the checkered flag appeared, saving me further embarrassment.

You guys have a wonderful summer and remember to wash your hands.   ;)

Sorry, didn't see this until after the event.
(Have subsequently updated race post for completeness)

Buenos Aires is a track that I love to race,I had a good time in qually, starting in third

Unfortunately at the end of the first lap, I went to give traction to the car and he left the track.

I fell to sixth and came looking for lost positions.

I stayed behind Pepe and soon after Doni arrived for the joke. We had a great battle, Pepe held his position very well

In the mixed I glued it but on the straight it distanced, until Doni overtook me but ended up losing his car in T1

A few more spins, it was my time to lose my car in T1, I controlled the car well but the fencing killer took me from the race

For me this race was like an end of marriage, excellent while it lasted and sad for not having completed any wedding

Congratulations WhiteWell on the win, Doni for the great result with BRM, securing second place and AnGex for completing the podium

I was happy with Sochenna's result with Honda

The thing is I forget this terrible result for me and go to Mosport, which is another track that I love to race.

Hug to everyone, stay safe

Grats to Baab on a runaway win!  Piece of cake.  :)

A lucky P2 for me thanks to Markus' disco and a few offs from my fellows.  I thought that Pepe was looking solid for a well-earned P2 til the Skid Demon found him in T1.  Bad luck there, amigo.  Andreas picked up the place and scored a podium.  On Lap14, I had a major fright in skating off the road in T1 and coming close to hitting the fence.  Just managed to skirt by.  Not so lucky was Eddie who went off there moments later and did get stuck.  Groan...  Cruel luck there.

What's the old line?  Something like, I'd rather be lucky than good any day.

Lucky Doni, you had a lot of competence to have a good time and be fighting all the time for positions

It's always a pleasure for me to share the track with clean drivers like you

Yes, that's true of me, too.  ;)

Gratulations to all Finishers!  :clap:

well done podium and all finishers.

Was quite a decent outing for me. Pretty uneventful and was lapped by the fast guys as usual but all in all a steady race and some points

Using the Brabham was different for me as I dont drive it too often. but the setup I did turned out to be fine for the duration of the race.
I qualified a little further up the grid for a change and was happy with that as I always qualify with full race fuel.

I quite like this track now and love the flow of the place. T1 and T3 being a bit tricky otherwise a nice track.

must apologise to Bernie for touching his nearside Rear wheel. I had driven very cautiously from the start and had tried to stay well over to the left as we all went through T1, but as we rounded the curve I moved slightly to the right. I couldnt see anyone at all on my offside but Bernie was there. I got quite close to him without realising and then either just touched his wheel of GPL did a wobbly and sent me spinning.

Was glad to find out that I hadnt spun Bernie or collided with David.  I think (and I hope) they were not compromised in any way.  Although it seems that when I was stuck in the fence that it all went a bit wrong at T3 a little further down the road !!!!.

Paul.
