Gonna be complete Mayhem. :P Hate this circuit with a vengeance. Caterhams on a street circuit is an "interesting" combo, but I'll be there anyhoo. :)

Well I was going to take part as it's the last race of the series, but having just done some track learning practice, despite the Caterham feeling rather good round here I'm going to abstain since (as I may have mentioned) I value my last remaining vestiges of sanity too highly to subject them to a tight street circuit. ::) :laugh:

Oh come on Dave  :) it's a good fun circuit and makes a nice change from the usual power circuits.

Spun around in lap 2 due to FreQ's warping car and just quit because I didn't want to mess us the championship in this last race.

Was fun while it lasted. Got discoed after the first race finished, surprised I even finished that the state my car was in.
Funny I hit the wall with one side of the car and had the steering pulling, hit the other side of the carand it seemed to even things out for a while ;D

Thanks to all that showed their support to this short series. Grats to all the winners and everyone else that had fun.
We will have to see where we go with Race07 from here. I'll try post some information soon.
Cheers Guys.

That was awful and glad it's over. Was not fun at all I'm afraid and definitely why i normally stay clear of all street circuits.

Hope we get more numbers if there is new season. Thanks for the season all and well done FreQ on the championship win I believe.

Indeed, congrats to FreQ for being our first Race07 Championship winner. O0
Well done to all the Teams and thanks to all the players that took part.

Yes, congrats to Champion FreQ - close fight in the end between us and we had some really good battles along the way. Will remember that Istanbul race for a long time :D

Pau was quite a satisfying track to drive once I had got my eye in. Had some really close racing with Backo in R1 but apparently I was lagging so very sorry about that. I hope it was OK in the 2nd race?

Race 2 we were both trying desparately to find a way past Simon but he drove really well for the first half of the race making it impossible to pass. Had to wait for mistakes from both Backo and Si to get past, then had a clean run to the flag with Bernie in close chase until he took a stop-go :(

So, R1=P2+R2=P1=18PT lol
- same calculation reversed for Freq

Just sent a PM.......arghhhhhhhhhhhhh  :'( :'( >:( >:( :-[

Before the race started I checked with all my housemates to make sure nobody was up/downloading...but still I lagged. We're on a 20mb line!!!!!!!! >_<

Felt rubbish after that and only carried on in R1 because there was a gap back to 2nd, straight after that I tried to find out what the prob was and nobody was using the net at all....so just fingers crossed....

I didn't see any sign of lagging at all in R2 - anyone let me know if I did though. The second race was super close and soo very difficult to pass on. Although Pau is a great track when you're by yourself, I've got to admit it's almost impossible to race closely on without contact at some point.

Nice to try it, but the real tracks are much better :) I think this track and Macau wil be great "one off" races in WTCC, where no points are at stake and no championship positions, so at least then if there is contact, it's no big deal and people can laugh it off  8)

Even though I'm feeling a little rubbish, it ended up super close in the championship after me and Bara both missed races! Nice one on the long fight - anyone know who's won?  :o

Edit: Ohhh, apparently I've pipped it! Yea, was a nice race in Istanbul  8)

Was initially worried about this track/car combo but it turned out to be great fun. Really enjoyed blasting/bouncing the Caterhams around Pau.

Some good car/circuit combo choices across the season Don, nice one.

Unfortunately due to Jeff giving up and Gizmo not even bothering to support his team :P :angel: :whistling: those pesky Junior boys have toppled the mighty Sharks from the top step by taking the team championship. *gritted teeth* well done *gritted teeth*. ;)

I had both races ruined by some weird graphical anomaly. ??? It was fine all through online praccy and during qual and event practise. But 3 laps into race 1 i started to get large sky blue crosses appear in the centre of the screen that spread out until i had just a light blue screen  :o
I hanged around until race 2 but the same thing happened instantly on lap 1 so had to retire as couldnt see a thing.  >:(

It may be that my oldish Nvidia drivers are not up to scratch for the modern 'Race'  :-\ but never seen that problem before.

The caterhams are great fun, they feel really lively and how i imagine the real things handle with that great power to weight ratio they have. I'm not a big fan of these very tight street tracks, following the debacle that was Porto last week but it was still great threading the Cat through the streets.
Could make a good series using these, but also think we should give the single seaters a proper run on a few tracks too.

I had no idea we were even close for that...oops  :-[
Maybe I should have not passed you for second......in the end with Bernie's penalty, I didn't need to  :-X
