Endurance Championship Division 2 - Season 1, Round 6, Spa - Oct 2nd

Very tough race, just couldnt get it together.  Had a couple of spins and finished 3rd.  Spent most of the race chasing SBG but try as I might just couldnt close the gap to below 20 secs.  Grats to Jon on the win and the title seems to be heading to SBG now, very little chance of closing that gap now, so well done on another consistent drive.

I chose a non stop strategy too.
As it turned out, my car was damaged on lap 1 which took 2 seconds per lap off my free practice time on full tanks.
Not enough to make it worthwhile going in for repairs, especially if my pit crew were going to be as slow as Shark's.
(Not that I knew that at the time).

I expected to be trailing throughout the race but then catch up when people pitted.
As it turned out, I passed most of the other G3 entries quite early, after they had gone off for one reason and another.
Only Luis remained in front and I would have got very close to him when he pitted but his engine blew and handed me the win.
Hard luck Luis!

Hi Guys Someone shunted me up the rear on the warm up lap I think. Then whilst in close company with other cars a Lambo shot out of a gravel trap straight in front of me and I cliped it . Thought there goeas the splitter but was able to keep going and swap places a few times with the porsch I think driven by fozzmister. Then going past the parked f360 at every corner. My concentration still is suffering from the chicken pox , I pulled wide to let a GT car up the inside and my car just attacked the barriers and stove the front end in. Bye for now gerald

Please try to refrain from mentioning contentious incidents in public and PM to Gizmo as incidents reports instead.

Thanks.

thanks for a great race,wot a difference to racing on public servers.

just watched the replay no wheels on the cars is this normal?

Replay has no wheels because it's the server replay, quite normal. Did he have a stop go penalty or something that he ignored??

As for clean racing, that's why we're all here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though it's in no-one's interests not to race cleanly on here. Many of us found our way here because of the state of the public servers and the fact that you CAN just race on here knowing you will be given every courtesy and more importantly pointers for good clean online racing no matter what your current ability is, hence things like the rookie fun race iniative.

We are restricted to using the noDX server which saves replays with no wheels (ask Simbin! ).

My guess is it was an ignored black flag too, maybe didn't realise, other than that must have been a game gremlin (something Simbin kindly put in a lot of )

Yes next race in two weeks. Check out the Calendar for up-to-date race schedules.

It's a pleasure to have good and clean drivers such as yourself. It's this kind of drivers that make a league great and UKGTR have a great bunch of them.

For UKGTR...hip, hip, hurra

That sounds like a problem at the start. Once you've been issued a 'stop & go' I *think* you get 3 laps to come in or you get DQ'ed.

I haven't watched the replay but I'd guess that Scott moved before the race started. 

Pops.

[PaulW]

Yeah, you get 3 laps. On the last lap you get a reminder to pull in or else though!

Hi All I was not complianing about what happened just giving a report of my race as far as it went. I considered all that happened just part of taking part no blame attached to anyone.Bye for now gerald

[Scott Carpenter]

no one said anything until 10 seconds before i got dq'ed but I didnt catch what he said then I was gone  but I was late maybe it was that. [img]

[fozzmeister]

Can't have been me, I took the G3 BMW.

Thought there goeas the splitter but was able to keep going and swap places a few times with the porsch I think driven by fozzmister.

[Jamera]
