Thx

No time to worry about temps . Just relieved that me pedal bits have arrived from those lovely people at BRD and I will be there on Sunday (touching a hefty plank here). Lets get the battle for second on, hoping you don't employ any underhand/shark like tactics to aid you, pops. You know what to do Eddie

Glad you will be sorted for Sunday SBG, I'm looking forward to our battle for 2nd place.

Good luck and let the best driver win (assuming you can avoid Adam )

[Adam Parle]

Good luck and let the best driver win (assuming you can avoid Adam )

Not that the Legends would ever try Schumacher-esque tactics to win

[Munkez]

Not happy 
Was pushed from behind coming out of Tamburello by a GT1 car spinning me into the inside wall! had considerable damage (missing front left wheel i think) and limped it back to the pits, sorry for getting into anyones way!
After getting fixed up and having the red mist come down, made so many silly mistakes pushing too hard until eventually losing it at Aqua and putting into the wall again!!

Gutted!!

Thanks to all I have raced with this season, well done to Adam Parle and Backo for Championship wins, especially Adam for some outstanding drives!!

Looking forward to next season already

###!!***!!##  so p***ed with myself, was driving really well but i knew i was gunna overheat at some point coz i forgot to open the radiator up for race, tried to get to first pit stop but didnt quite make it. I reckon i could of had a 3rd. I really like this track.

Congrats to all winners, and championship winners.

Really enjoyed the races since i joined and will definately be back for a full season next time.

First off sorry to Silva, I spun because I clipped teh grass under braking and was a passenger of my own car .

Race was kinda alone and in the end I wanted to overtake the two Legends Vertigo's, but they were too far infront and finished 15th, which is disappointing as I was running 13th all the time.

Grats to winners.

[Kit-Kat]

Bad Luck Gazza49er I was chasing you hard!!

Sorry for the abrupt leave BUT my pc CTD & I lost the game

Nice race guys & thank`s for the fun!!!!!!!

no problem ruskus, great fun in that first half of the race, my tyres dont warm i dont now why, mine setup for this track is not very good

[will16v]

sorry to pseudo and i think eddy meyer - i lost all force feedback on my wheel tonight - had to exit before i caused anymore damage

[Adam Parle]

Bad luck Munkez - I tried to keep you behind but the straight line speed made that hard!  One smallish mistake and you were off.  I was looking forward to keeping you at bay after the pit stops but it never happened.

Grats to Pops - great drive mate.  Unlucky SBG - you ran Pops close!  I hope I didn't slow you down too much out of the pits .

Bit of a non-race for me, but I had some good fun nonetheless.


Cheers all for the racing - really had fun this season.

[Gazza49er]

yeah i noticed kit kat lol think it would of bin close between us.  Ill be back in a pink car next season lol unless i get any other offers lol

A bit of and up and down night for me. Happy to set the second qualifying lap record on the trot after magny cours. I should have bettered 1.41.2 though, but still more than enough for pole.

Fully expected Backo to be pushing hard and was no surprise. I was able to fend him off fine then we caught Jure on the third
 lap, what went wrong there?

He was very slow out of the corner I caught him and I had to get on the brakes, this allowed Backo the run and get even then past.

Chased him hard, thought the 550 would explode but never happened. Sitting on his back and was happy there. Caught traffic and Backo was gone.

Nearing pit stops I had reeled him back in and only a few seconds in it.

After a very sharp pit stop I added more fuel than I calculated and used in the first half, turned out to be very lucky.

I then had to catch and pass those who had chosen longer pit stop strategies. Was happy to find after pit stops I was ahead of Back by some 7 seconds. Nice work by the pit crew!

Car was not feeling to good in the second half. Overcast clouds did not allow my tyres reach temperates.

Caught up with Dave in his corvette and he was running really well. I could not get past him and could see Backo getting closer all the time.

Backo was right on my tail and putting me under huge pressure again. It seemed two people left in quick succession and my game started to freeze. I ran off on to grass in a straight line and the couple of quick pauses lost me the lead.

Again chased very hard and could just about match Backo as soon as we hit traffic again he was off.

Noticed by this stage my fuel situation was very poor so I decided to easy off a little to save some.

Two laps to go came around the corner to see yellow flags and Backo in the middle of the road. He was just straightening as I past and right on my heals.

Managed a couple of half decent laps with heavily worn tyres to fend him off for victory.

Finished with only 0.5l of fuel. Another case of disappearing fuel.

Nice way to end the season

Congrats for your class wins Backo and Adam Parle
I´m begining to like the Z3 (not enough top speed and bad turning, but fun to drive)
Cool fight with Reign Man and some fun laps with Psuedo also

Well done to Kerr and Silva  


Cheers
