Nice replay from 'divebomber Linus' cockpit    you did court disaster with a couple of those moves so beware you risk a penalty if one of them results in serious contact  dodged a bullet this time 

Can we have a nice short vid from an external camera capturing the early action? I can use that for promotion over at Kunos  as we appear to have a few regular no-shows in last couple of rounds. Might want to edit out Maikels fluff start though 

Leave a hole and I'll fill it I'm used to Lotus brakes you see, the Porsche has cheese for brakes and caught me out hahahaha

This race did not go well for me and frankly it was all my fault. Apologies to Apex for the massive punt up the rear, just a little later on the brakes than you. @Mark, I looked at the replay because I wasn't sure of the incident you were referring to, now reminded I can remember knowing that you were there and trying to give you space which looking at the replay I thought I did, see what you think?? If the stewards inquiry goes against me, then I will expect an appropriate penalty which will put from last place into last place

Tried my damnest to catch Apex in the last 1/2 dozen laps to no avail but put in an unexpected PB on the last lap. I won't be able to make the next race (hurrah I hear you all shout lol) so see you all in 2 weeks time.

You do all realise that the headlights are pretty useless, its not like you have the glare from real lights, if you don't look at your mirrors then you don't see it!

Interesting first few corners and hoped for a half-decent race but got hit on the first lap and ended up in the gravel and last. But I never felt comfortable round here, was very hesitant into the second corner especially, partly as I never got the corner right  but also that the car would never downchange when I wanted it to so frequently missed the apex on many corners. This happened more and more through the race which annoyed me so much I gave up as I was near the back anyway. Over -rev protection I could understand but I let it drop first anyway before trying, and the rev range was down in the bottom half so wouldn't have got near the limiter if it would have changed. Checked the wheel srtup in game and everything looks fine, its something to do with the car!

interesting following Apex and Chris as they fought! And nice to follow MJ as it helped work out how I should be driving it. Car just felt very unpredictable at times starting to wonder if I should carry on with it.

Incidentally, I've noticed that the crash physics has altered for the worse. I had the slightest of touches with Spanner, I didn't even feel it but he catapulted into the gravel trap as though he'd been hit by an Artick. I had a similar experience in a recent Core race, what should have been an exchange of paint turned out to be a major crash. It's like any impact is multiplied by 10, but only occasionally.

Hi guys! Finally solved the issue with my account and I can now log in to the website!

I just wanted to stop by and say it was a great race, like Zandvoort was. The drivers in this community are all very clean and respectful (maybe besides some minor slips, but that happens!) and it's a pleasure driving here.

I only had a minor bump with nsfw at Schlossgold, we were side by side, I was on the inside but I came a little too hot on the brakes, with massive understeer resulting in his car hitting my front and almost making me spin out. My bad, sorry about that. Luckily I could hold it and he didn't seem to be affected by that small incident so I guess it's alright.

On the run up to T2, I got caught out by FMG who seemed to brake very early in the middle of the track.

Sorry, I had been following very close behind Maikel I think so positioned to his right and braked early as I didn't want to run into him or anyone else.

My lack of preparation showed as it took me most of the race to really gel with the car and get some fast laps in.  I had an absolute blast despite this 

[Mark J]

Same here Fmg, I'm still shaking my head today at the series of disasters that befell me and cost me valuable points but must say I had some excellent racing along the way  it's a great racing series

No worries mate, just really caught me out and I didn't want to wipe you out so took avoiding action. I still had great fun chasing you and then being hunted down by you and passed.

I would like to see this series run again as well as its crested great racingcso far. I would also love to see this series with a few more car options *cough* Lotus *cough*  No idea what other cars are competivery with the 911 Cup car with would good to have a mixed class.
