GLA + FUN

Hi, fellas!  :)

I'll be in the Al Pease Eagle today and woefully uncompetitive.  I will practice in advance offline but won't attempt to qualify and bugger someone else's laps.  I'm driving to finish and with luck, won't be lapped.  There's every chance that the last finisher save for myself will be minutes ahead of me on the road so feel free to chat away after that individual crosses the line to finish.  It won't distract me.

Have fun!  :)

I just watched the replay to understand what had happened at the start.

I have to apologize to Claudio and others!

The track becomes narrower and narrower at this point, which I did not notice from my driver position. Therefore, I unknowingly pulled to the right and collided with Claudio.
Please have a look at my driver view in the replay...

Feel free to make a report

Very happy.

1. Finished 6 laps
2. Didn't Shift-R
3. Beat Doni

Mission accomplished   :laugh:

Eventful race.

At the start I didn't see a Ferrari sending it on the inside which dropped me a number of places.
But I recovered a few places on Lap 1 to be closely behind Andreas and overtook him on the outside of Nordkehre.
Tristan spun as well so I led a few kilometres again until I bottomed the car at Bergwerk and dropped back to P2.

Throughout the race I had the pace over others but there is no passing around the Nürburgring. Plus that the MS84 has abysmal top speed.
This proved a problem when both Bastian and Tristan got by me once on the long straight (albeit I too the place back of the former).
Despite, I boldly got by Andreas at Kallenhard and after Tristan spun again I had free way to the finish line without big errors.

Thanks for racing, see you at the next one.

No problem here Axel!

The Ferrari at the start was me, you had a bad start so I was in a better position for the "bocht". At Nordkehre you got me on the wrong foot. And the action at Kallenhard was quite over the top. After that my car was not the same anymore...
