I got a good start and stayed wide at T1 but someone went wide and knocked me off the track. Then I got hit from the rear and race over :(.

On a positive note, thanks for the track JonnyO, great for on-line racing. No advantage to be gained by corner cutting and the sand traps punish drivers going wide without ending their race  :thumbup1:

That would be me Phil, sorry... Never saw you there in my black spot until the contact happened..  :( Apologies.

Just as I started to take it easy, and save some fuel I heard a bang  :'(

Thanks for the apology Frank. You are a very fast and fair driver and I appreciate the contact was unintentional. Hopefully the next time a make a blistering start (pretty rare) and challenge you for a position (even more rare), you'll be expecting me and leave enough room ;)

Unlucky Leo, you had blistering fast pace tonight.

Cheers Phil, thanks for being a gentleman about it  :thumbup1: ! I wouldn't say "very fast" though, more like "fastish" (in my good days)  :laugh:. But I do hate to be involved in race collisions, especially when the other party involved retires and I don't... I usually have good starts, and having lost two positions on that one I didn't expect a third car to be so close. Totally my fault, I should have stuck to the inside regardless. See you next time ;).

Well, what can I say,, :no: two of my greatest opponents blew up today, it's a real shame about Renato and Leo........ :oops:
   I was fighting to finish the race since this circuit (and thanks Jonnie for the tremendous track  :tt1:) is very demanding on tires, and I had to try to take care of them a little, (even with my rough way of braking).... :1eye:
At the start I had a strong pressure with Tristan's Brabham but then I lost sight of him and I couldn't see him again, I had Killer and Jonnie a few seconds behind me and I read quite a few more, and lap after lap he grabbed me more time, a very neat career for leo, I congratulate you for that, you were unattainable. :)
  Watching the replay I realized that your engine exploded for nothing, I don't know why, you weren't over revving or overstepping a gear wrong, maybe a random damage from the gpl, ..... :death:. that really bothered me, .. ... :oops:
  I was taking care of my car the best I could when I saw that the engines exploded easily, and I tried not to take the potholes revved up, but a killer and a jonnie approached me and I did not want to lose the advantage that I had, and I tried to run a fast lap and one of protection and I think that thanks to that, I was able to finish.
  a victory with a very bitter taste since the race was completely Leo's, who came out with the best car to achieve his goal, and in reality that hurts a lot (and I know why I say it).... :hang:
  this victory is yours dear leo.
    I earned it for driving a little more carefully. and well in the end with a very inspired killer and a jonnie, we were able to get 3 Brabham in the first 3 positions.
   and well, the general classification was very tight and it scared me hahahaha.
   see you at the next race and thank you, you made me sweat

    I got home and I was a little tired, I didn't have a good setup for Brabham and I wasted a lot of time on qualy . Finally, the car was great in the race, but as it was in the middle of the pack in the race, it couldn't pass Killer, he's a driver who never misses, and Guaporé you only pass another similar driver if you make a mistake.
   Today Leo was getting ready to climb to the highest podium but to the disappointment of the Brazilian fans present in Guaporé, his Weslake engine was on the way.
   Congratulations to Farina who knew how to manage until the end and captain the Brabham pilots.
   Race had half of retirements, proving that the track has its challenges and I was happy to see a good grid without any more serious problems like a CTD .

Thx Johnny, your track is very demanding and technical with a lot of turn closing. I picked BRM cause  I didn't know your track and I was prepared to be lapped by everyone and his dog, as Bernie says  ;D
But at the end of Q I found that a Lotus was going worst than me  ::), so I started ready fot a duel  ;D
In the end I made only one mistake going wide on the grass luckily, the sand is really glou here, and happy to have gained some point.

 Guaporé onboard.

Great footage , timed the fezzer at 1m:06s  :o

Ta for the posting !

You earned every bit of this victory Enrique, congratulations  :notworthy:

I always race with reliability in mind, cause that's the way it was and that's the way it is in GPL. That is the beauty of it. Some times it is not enough. Still, I'm happy I got me some extra points and the championship keeps tight. Cheers  :thumbup1:

Could all drivers please add their home country to their profiles so that the correct flag is displayed in the results?

Many thanks.

  in my profile say i'm from mexico, but my flag does not apear  :wacko: maybe need to do something more?

Perhaps if you go to the driver details in your profile and select "Mexico" from the drop down list.  I don't know how you have entered "mexico", without a leading capital letter, but that is probably causing a problem.

Hmm....that could be a deep question for some, Pete!  Not lived in England for 12 years but it might just still be home!  I also don't like the colours of the German flag (is it polite to say no offence intended re this to our other German members?).


I had low expectations for this race and lived-up to them!  I couldn't motivate myself to practice until Saturday and opted, like many, for the Brabham.  I found the circuit challenging but was quite happy with my set-up if not my lap times.  Starting 8th it was close into the 1st corner then everyone started to clear off!  After a lap or two I went off and rolled back onto the circuit despite being hard down on the gas, that strange kind of stall giving me nowt.  I should have stamped on the brake since I think I rolled into Doni who I saw against the barrier as I got going again.  Apologies Doni. 

I found I had reasonable pace, bettered my qualifying time, but I was pushing too hard and kept making mistakes.  Anyways another 6th position, not bad after all the spins/offs, honestly I was lucky to see the flag.

Cheers for the racing,

Bob

Frank,

You drove the Ferrari for the second time ...

The rules are :

Drivers must use 7 different chassis for their first 7 races.
Only when a driver has used all 7 chassis, will they be allowed to select a chassis for the second time.

 :'( :'(

Ohw sorry... I knew the rule, it's just that for some reason I was sure I had done Riverside with the Honda and not the Ferrari. I should have checked, sorry.
