Hi everybody,

tried several time to connect to the server, it seems to be "freezed" on qualy session, is it also to you?

I did some laps and all seems ok.

Indeed another great little track, very well made also but the pitlane seems a bit weird to me.
And again a brain-teaser when it comes to the gearing.

I fell into a void. Couldn't even use escape to pits, had to use task manager to quit AC.

Found myself surprisingly well on the pace last night. Qualified 3rd 

On the grid, Tims car disapeared from in front of me leaving a clear run down to T1. Fabri attacked from the start but i held it cleanly and was through in 2nd behind Lorenzo. The top 4 were in a long battle with each other for quite a while, each having a nibble/closing up at certain corners but maintaining position. Then i saw Fabri lose a spot behind me to Jos. I kept Jos behind me for a few laps until he got a better run on me down the back straight to T1, saw he was half alongside and gave space and slotted back in alongside between T1-T3. However on the run back up the hill in T3 we were side by side with me on the inside. I considered this part of the track fair game for two cars running beside each other but Jos cut across my nose and span me round into the path of a fast charging Fabri. I suffered front and rear end damage and dropped 3 places  In my opinion, Jos should have given racing room to a car on the inside of a left hand turn but i'll leave it to the stewards to decide (Tim?) - it might look different on a replay and know Jos isnt a dirty racer.
So now down in 5th i had Fabri and Kimi ahead of me. We had a fantastic 3 way battle until the very end of the race, dicing with and attacking each other the whole time without a hint of contact.  Alas because i had damage, i kept dropping 3-5/10ths down the back straight, whereas earlier in the race my gearing had always gained me a few tenths over Fabri. So i had to work doubly hard to stay with and attack them, had a proper sweat on by the end!  but it was excellent fun 
Overall, felt robbed of a podium but it was a cracking race. 

Eventful and intense race yesterday for me. This car has a sweet spot for speed... Slow if you play conservative and unforgiving if you over drive it. I think I was quite in the sweet range for most of the race...
I had done some good times at the end of practice and was expecting a better result in qualy... So 5th came as a blow that made me reconsider my real chances for the race. I had barely practiced on this track so I knew more pace should come during the race so still had some hopes to save the day.
With Tim out of contention due to his timely physiological needs XD, the top spot came into play. The start of the race was intense. I think I had a bump with Geoff but nothing serious happened and I managed to consolidate 4th behind Fabri and Mark with Kimi breathing closely on my neck for a good while. That was intense. The pace was coming and I managed to steadily open a gap with Kimi and get closer to Fabri. Overtaking is not easy in this track (I think, at least not without being gifted with a mistake...). I put a lot of pressure on Fabri and managed the overtake in Tarun Mutka (Turn 5)... Then the battle with Mark. He was defending well but I had more speed in some parts of the track and make my move after closing down in our approach to T1. I had won the position and didn't think to aggressively defend by staying on the left on the first part of T2-T3 (which would have kept Mark behind and without a chance to immediately attack after my overtake) as this would delay both of us for no apparent gain... Overtaking on the second part of T3 was simply impossible in my view. I kept the right of the track to take T3 with momentum and keep the speed. It seems Mark interpreted this as an opportunity to gain on the left part of the track and intended to get back in front at that perilous point of the track... I took the turn leaving enough space on the left for Mark (at least this was my intention - you can judge checking the replay at 14:40 -) but any more than the bare minimum wouldn't be possible without killing everyones' speed... Considering we were at 1/3 of the race, there was plenty of time to come back an attack in a more suitable point... My view in any case. I didn't want to put Mark in a difficult position and tried to leave space... I'll leave it to the stewards to decide.
I received some damage but kept pushing hard to close on Lorenzo. There were clear points where I had the speed advantage and manage to capitalise on a mistake again in Tarun Mutka. From then, and other than a silly mistake in the last lap, I manage to keep my cool and bring the 130RS safely home.

Annoyed if I misjudged the situation with Mark and apologies in any case as he clearly feels aggravated, but pleased with the overall race and pace. Congrats to Lorenzo and Fabri for the podiums!

Jos
Enjoy!

The race was very good, with that three-cars fight between me, Mark and Kimi.

Unfortunately I lost some time because of that contact between Mark and Jos. But the third position was the best I could get anyway. Considering that a position was given by Tim, who was still in the pits behind a wall when the race started.

Congratulations to Jos, Lorenzo and the other guys (including Mark and Kimi for the great fight).
