Doni... so sorry. This one will have to go down as a 'bad rejoin' on my part. Ordinarily it would have been OK, but it just happened to be over the blind crest of T2. To make matters worse, it was in the way of you who doesn't use Pribluda. Looking at the replay, there was a yellow flag from your cockpit but by the time you'd come over the crest there was a big fat BRM sat in your path.

So sorry for ruining you race.

As punishment, I'm taking the BRM all season.

Just re: flags. I believe that if you switch view to look from another car / the flags displayed are from the perspective of your game,  not necessarily what would be seen by other drivers.

(although you'd expect everything to stay in step as much as possible).
 

I've never been good at Mosport, it is one of my bogey circuits. So I was very pleased to be circulating in 5th with 5 laps to go. I was holding off Fulvio (who was faster than me but couldn't get past me in his Cooper) thanks to the power of the Repco motor but then Bob caught us up. He quickly despatched Fulvio and was immediately on my case. I tried to stay ahead, but without a power advantage trying to hold off Bob (who is a better driver than me and was in the same car) was futile. I tried to make it difficult but he made a very brave pass on the outside at turn 4 and he was through. I tried to follow him through Moss but I clipped the white line and spun. This allowed Fulvio to mug me for 6th place    Still 7th is pretty good 

Grats to Doni on a podium and the lead in the championship. You've certainly upped your game this season, I can't get anywhere near you 

Congrats Tristan, Alain, and Doni! I can´t match Tristan´s speed. My best hope was making less mistakes. He made the first mistake. I made the biggest mistake.

It´s a shame I damaged my engine. I tried a little too much and I was a little careless with my shifting. I was trying to open a gap that Tristan had to average 0.5 seconds faster per lap to catch me. With 24 laps to go I had an 11 second lead. Then I lifted 1-2 meters late for T8 (end of the backstraight), I went off losing 4 seconds. That got me to push the car more. I held the 7 second lead for a little while. I hoped to keep that lead to the 14 laps remaining point and then I was going to take it easier on the car. I suspect I could have been over revving the engine a little exiting T3 and it was at high rpm before T3, and I think some of my shifts on the back straight could have been bad too.

I worried about over heating my tires but I got that under control before qualifying started. I´m tough on the Brabham´s tires. I still have to learn to take better care of the engine. I also have a problem with the Brabham surprising me. Sometimes the car will bounce and then I fishtail off the track. I don´t seem to have that problem with most of the other cars.

It was interesting seeing Doni show some good strength on his home track. Like Doni, I set a new fast lap in qualifying. His time was less than 0.1 seconds off my old best. This year I am intent on learning to drive the Brabham better.


That´s funny. 3.5 cylinders might be correct. My top speed was cut to 112 mph. I wondered if my old Nissan Primera sedan (Infiniti G20) might go faster than my weakened Brabham. The old sedan is a 4 cylinder.

I needed a solid finish to stay in the championship race. This might have been the mistake I couldn´t afford. Kudos to Doni for taking the points lead! Leo, Jonny, and Phil appear to be setting themselves up to use the mighty Lotus at some point. Leo is in good shape and Frank´s consistency is working well for him. It´s going to be an interesting season.

Thanks for the kind words Phil, but I don't think that's true, some circuits you're definitely faster on.

My goal was to finish the race, which I just managed despite an early spin after cutting T1 too much and numerous other incidents.  Not one of my best efforts but quite a bit of fun as I yo-yoed mostly down the order  .  When approaching the hairpin on one lap I found a BRM broadside across the track and maybe a cooper lurking, I went off in avoidance then needed to reverse off the banking, coulda ended badly but I seemed to get away with it.

Pleased to have caught you an Fulvio just in-time, Phil, after several attempts!  The pass I pulled on you was accidental, was trying to avoid you after mis-judging your speed down the hill.  I actually wondered whether I'd warped into you or summat as prib showed you a little ways back soon after.  I can also be pleased about my qual time, no sure whether it's a PB given GPL rank is doon, but reckon it must be close.

Cheers for organizing,

Bob

Frank &  Alain, after carefully watching the replay .....
Frank sorry but it's not my fault as I have been push by Bob W. ....see TV1 !
Alain , en vue TV2, il n'y a pas de contact !....bug ?!...but leave a little more room next time as I was just behind you ....
