I wish a sucess race for nfsw55 and Maikel using 100kg ballast Last time I drove here was with the GTR2002 mod for F1 Challenge 99-02 and I remember enjoying the track a lot. Hope you have more luck here than at Österreichring .

I remember you saying that for one of the other races and still making it Just because there was a downpour that day and the match was cancelled, even if a few mentally-disturbed pushed to play the match anyway. Luckily the sane group prevailed Tomorrow will be a shiny day in Rome, so I bet I won't race, given that I won't join a race anymore starting form the back of the grid with 1min and 30 seconds to the start as at Osterreichring. It was a disaster for me, and just the sticky barrier saved some other drivers from a big bang. It makes no sense, and even with 15 minutes more I'm not convinced I would be on time for the race, unfortunately

Only done a few offline laps due to rift issues maybe I was in a bad mood after but I found this car quite frustrating at this track. Some of the corners and braking markers were hard to nail in this big car. Probably just lack of laps though

Probably just lack of laps though This. All breaking have a more better reference points than simple meters markers. Short conners ( long chicanes) have a same good points- gears sound. If i driving in rithm here- this combo feels very enjoyeble Only one place where i did not find a braking point at first practise laps was a braking after long back straitght. But I've find it too- the steel rail begins ( margin) in right side of track

Oh dear. I qualified quite well for me so was expecting good things, but I accidentally nudged Alexey (sorry!) on lap2?lap3? which even though it was pretty gentle sent him into a spin. Decided to let everyone through and wait for him to catch up. Spent rest of race trying to make anything back out of the race as my pace was pretty good, but it was hard work. Thought I would get Matt on the last lap but he put up a sterling defence!

Mixed emotions for me tonight, I feel like the sim racing gods are against me this week every time I’ve sat down to do some practise I’ve had major issues with the rift so ended up with none, even just before qually I had to exit and power down the pc it doesn’t just rob you of practise it destroys your calm and concentration! Anyway, best I could manage in qually was 10th eventually. Race start was decent and had to fight off a feisty Matt for a while whilst chasing spanner and nsfw ahead. Matt kept dropping back but each time I struggled with braking or understeer he would close right up and harass me for a few laps. Took me a long while to shrug him off and attack spanner. I reeled him in over a few laps until he had a really messy lap (mirror watching?) and I could scoot past and move up to 7th Next up the road was nsfw who I caught after a few more laps as I had finally got in the groove of this fiddly track. We had an excellent battle for many laps until contact in the last uphill left, which put me spinning on the grass and lost time. But his tyres must have been wearing out as I re caught him again after 2-3 laps and set about pressuring him again. Once more it was great fun and intense racing but at the same corner as before we sadly had contact again. This time his car turned around and span off despite me trying to nudge him straight. I pulled over to wait as don’t know who’s fault the contact was but then Matt and Simon came steaming up the road so I drove on to finish the last two corners. It was a gutting end to a great fight I was amazed to be even able to fight for top 7 places with zero practise. Found the track frustrating in this car but also had great chases and fights so odd night really.
