That was shaping up to be a pretty reasonable pay day with a good start and picking off Tom...pinned behind a slow-starting Andreas...to be P6. Didn't last long, though.
Three races into this series and I've been KO'd in two. Hardly seems worth the effort.

I'm so sorry, Doni. I had the feeling that I was faster and then underestimated the slipstream when I tried to brake you out. I wanted to wait for you, but you don't use Shift-R. Once again, my deepest apologies!

First race in this series and I had raced here close to a year ago in the McLaren, so I thought why not pick the car you're familiar with?
Of course this came with the major disadvantage of being quite a bit down on straight line speed. But I had faith in my practice lap times and knew that the slipstreaming factor could keep me in there.
Qualifying was good as I matched my PB. PB was without tow, and here I had a tow, so there was certainly more in it with slipstream, but you know the track was Rouen is. Tricky as hell and wants to catch you out at every apex. Initially I had pole, but Tristan put in a late and great effort to snatch it away from me.
Start was surprisingly good considering my low 1st gear, and I could keep up with Tristan. Quickly I found that his gear ratio setup had a big weakness as he couldn't get the car accelerated from Nouveau Monde. I could get past there in lap 2, but stood no chance on the long straight with slipstream. But the pattern kept repeating for several laps where I would overtake in the hairpin and get reovertaken on the straight. Meanwhile Leo sat closely behind biding his time.
Then on one occasion I had an off at Scierie under braking and lost a few seconds. Only half a lap later Leo and Tristan collided in the hairpin. Leo got out quickly, but Tristan wasn't so lucky and fell over 10 seconds behind. So now it was only a 2-way scrap for the lead and the win. I could make moves here and there, but same old story, we overtook each other several times. Then 3 laps from the end I got another move on and tried to put the hammer down to open up a gap on the first half of the track. But at Beauval I put a rear tyre into the grass and went round, and Leo and Tristan were both uncatchable.
So I had to settle for P3, but I'm not complaining. That was some great fun on a high level which could only have been bettered with a last-lap-battle. Congrats again to Leo for the win and to Tristan for P2! Well done to all finishers, in this case the majority of starters, great to see such a high finishers number! Sorry to the DNFs, it was always going to be tough around Rouen...

How did I miss this ? Rouen , one of my favourite tracks  Yup, same sentiment for me, gutted I couldn't make it. It means that Willow Springs will probably be my last race this season, I have been struggling with injuries from an accident for about a year now, getting an ankle operation in a couple of weeks that ought to sort things out... |

... and again (like Solitude) rolled up the field from behind.  But this time no colleague was to blame but a technical problem maybe of the track installation  which finally led to the DQ. Despite 4th best time of 2:00,93, which was not recognized (DQ!) I had to start from the last row. My Techprob: I could not start from the pits When I pressed the green button for going to the pits, it followed a massive ”ROCKETCRASH!”  with a rough landing after a long flight in the sky, somewhere on track or in the green! I only could start driving with using shift-R … But my race was fine. I had a lot of fun catching up from P16 to P4. My very quickly made setup, I had mistakenly prepared for Reims!!?? for whatever reason, fortunately was ok. Congratulations to Leo, Tristan and Lasse and all the competitors. Except for my outlap, were Paul scared me in T1 – after the race  all colleagues were very fair and prudent on the road - great racing, THX to you all.  |

I enjoyed the race. The 66 cars are great. Sorry you weren't about Bernie. You were missed mate. I had a fairly uneventful outing. Improved my times which was good, only had one spin which left me running on my own, but to be honest I'm doing my best to keep consistent, on the track and just making it to the finish. Helping my concentration and general driving a lot. Sorry for the scare Uli... not intentional of course. Bit early for Halloween ? |

I only could start driving with using shift-R … Sorry to hear about your technical difficulties. No doubt you would have been in the fight at the front without your difficulties! This is a conflict between the 2 options of Rouen pits, which are the narrow and wide pits. The original Papyrus version has very wide pits which aren't historically accurate, so there is a community-made pits update with way narrower pits. The physical track borders were also moved closer to the track with this update, which is why your car is destroyed when you join a server which has a track.ini with pits placement for the original wide pits version. As far as I know there is a problem with the GPLPS 1.08 installer regarding this option. You can select the narrow pits option during installation, but graphically you will still get the wide pits, hence why it will look like your car is spawning at the right place, yet it gets destroyed. The solution is here http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=3534, just get the "normal" version for future online races.  |

A note for Tristan. You had a crash at the hairpin that put you in reverse direction at the outside, I know that pheraps wasn't your fault. When Phil was coming you tried an acrobatic manouvre to rejoin hitting Phil. Soon after I came myself and had to stop my car waiting that Phil could restart. Then you tried the same acrobatic manouvre while I was restarting hitting me. Both Phil and me lost time in the process and I lost a position cause that. Since you drive the external view you had a better view on what were happening around you while you were a sitting duck so isn't acceptable your rush to put your car in the right direction. Maybe was better a reset that hadn't caused damage to anyone since we were in the first part of the race. Regards |
