Congrats to the Podium trio and all the Finishers, and bad luck for the rest, it was kind of a tough race, I picked the slowest car of the pack I guess, the SLR, since it was an endurance race I thought to race with minimum damage to reach the chequered flag, in practice I tried the Maserati but it was too hard for me to handle it, I dunno how you do it guys but I span a lot with it's monstrous engine !!
I reached the Finish lane 4th mainly due to the misfortune of the good drivers ahead of me but mainly my race was lonely, I race with Bill in the opening laps then caught Tony after his Pitstop when he went straight on T1 and I said Yessssss its my chance to pass him but a few laps later I pitted for Fuel and he passed me with his Huge Mazzza and couldn't catch him again !!!
Hope to see you on the track next monday !!!
Cheers
Michel

I like Silverstone and with the M1 it would have been a interesting race, but I lost connection during Qualy and I got on the starting grid at the last moment, I had a good start surely helped by someone stalling when the lights went green and jumped 5 places before T1, then did a couple of laps 5th or 6th, but then cars started to disappear from my screen and I guess my connection was getting worse, and around lap 4 I lost connection with the server and got kicked out of the race,
I'm sorry De Martini if it was my fault that you went out of the race due to my lag.
Hope to see u next race
Cheers

The 300 SL suited me best for this track, had a good start jumped from 11th to 7th before T1 but then I was passed by a couple of drivers, on the long straights, I have a problem with setting up the cars, in fact I never worked on setups, specially on fast tracks, I feel like I'm a turtle racing with rabbits lol !!!
Again Sorry Tony for hitting you at the entry of the Parabolica but I missed my braking point and couldn't but go straight, I hope I didn't ruin your race !!
I love this track and the Merc is a good car and doesnt burn a lot of rubber, so it was an acceptable race for me !!
With some setup concerning the top speed I guess I could have caught the guys ahead, specially that it was an easy Track !!!
See u next race and have a good week you all
Cheers

As usual a non prepared race, I really can't find time to practice and those F1's are so fragile to drive,
Anyhow I guess I picked the wrong car, I loved this version old Spa flat all the way, very convenient for these fast cars, At the start I hit someone who didn't move at the green lights so I'm sorry for that, then I gained 3 positions and from there the first few laps were good but couldn't follow roguk in front of me and even the gap was getting bigger, I surely picked the wrong car, the Cooper, in fact I had no idea which car was best, to make a long story short in L5 I lost concentration at some point and my car went to the grass and up to the sky I dunno on which planet I landed but I was flying in a no gravity area and my car was going up and down left and right so all I had to do is to watch the race which my car flying !!
Then I got a DQ and I left the game !!
Congrats to Ziu, Erling, Tony and all the finishers !!!
Cheers
Michel

Well that was an enjoyable race for me, I loved the track even thew I only did 4 or 5 laps before qualifying and I didn't have the time to pick the right car so I ended up choosing the Ferrari 375, I had a fairly good start found my self running fourth but not knowing the right braking points didn't help me out, and after a couple of laps I span at the hairpin and Bob and John passed through.
From then on my race started to get worse I flew a couple of times after T1, on the first fly luckily the damage was acceptable but on the second one the bodywork got really busted and my suspension was horrible so I had to pit early cz I was losing 8 sec a lap on my PB so I refueled the car and fixed the bodywork and the suspension and it was an eternity Pit-stop, took around 120 sec. !!!!!!
I rejoined the track and the car was in good shape did some acceptable times and then I found Tony arriving behind me like a Rocket so I wanted to let him pass peacefully but my car started to move left and right and unfortunately I hit him but luckily without major damage for him, and while I was moving slowly to let him pass I closed the door on Roguk who went a bit wide on the grass, so sorry again guys, beside that my race was fine,
Hope to see you all next race and hopefully will have more time to practice for next race !!!
Cheers
Michel
