If I woudn't have dived in the inside of the corner, I would have bumped in the rear! I had Fulvio in my back too... We call this a "Domino Effekt" Thanx Hristo for this consideration, but how big must be the gap? In replay there are about 50cm room between the cars. Best seen in Fulvios POV The bigger the warp, the bigger the gap you have to leave. You sort of get the feeling for it with time, by observing how much to the side a car is warping.

fun race yesterday at Brands after a few laps I found myself in front of Nathan and vix behind my teammate Sergio Nathan vix .. I can go inside the t4 but behind the second half of the race after touching .. I Nathan recovers and no place to go then .. decides to pass within the mandate for lawns in t4 .. .. I'm not very happy about this .. for me are overtaking unsportsmanlike Luckily I take the track and out 4 but that anger congratulations to everyone for your organization! is a really good championship

I have never made this experience before... Had lots of close fun racing in different classes with wild sweeping Martin but I can't remember warp contact. Is it the server or the track or my connection? How can I see there is warp?

. . .with wild sweeping Martin . . .
I've decided I can't sweep Cookie under the carpet. Rather an orderly race start from where I sat. Except I screamed the motor off the line, and it would come back to bite me later. My main concern would become the object buzzing in my mirrors. It came closer for a bit, and then further away for a bit, like a pesky Mosquito hunting in the night. After a bit, I made a mistake - put 2 wheels onto the grass at Clearways, and it bit me! Geoff came winging through, all the way from Australia. A lap later, and I learned he'd learned from my mistake, with a good imitation at Druids. Thereafter, my race became a lonely one, and I was left in peace to perform a high speed cruise to the finish. Until, with a few laps left, "Bang !" . . . the piece was broken. And you know what they say - "Once bitten, twice cry." "Whaahh !" :'(

Sorry Goran for spinning in front of you, we were having a great race till there with Axel. Axel had a little uncertainty at T1 near the inside curb and I follow him like a shadow touching the curb and a polo that made me spin. After that my engine lost power and eventually blew a couple of laps later Ciao

good racing with Tommie and he was racing good race. I was believing i could take the first place during the race but Tommie was still ahead. I was able to overtake him once when he have little offroad , was leading few laps but he gain the cap very soon when i have no consentration on driving . Few mistakes for both of us but his nerves (nerves of steel) was better and won the Brands cup. grats Tommie! Silverstone sounds totally different track

A lonesome race for me. At the start is was tricky with Ronnie going side by side into T1. Next lap Ronnie gone wide in T2 and I could pass. After that ..........everybody disappeared around me . I am very happy with 3e place, also for the team. Thanks for racing and organising. Greetings Pedro.

Hi guys. Qualify: I was a little under my possibilities shown during the week tests, but I know the race is another thing! Anyway I'm 4th on the start grid and those in front of me seems to be good pilots (oops very good pilots ) so I figure out a nice race. Race: In fact what I thought has been correct, suddenly I start loosing a few meters from the 3 in front of me but in 2 or 3 laps I close the gap followed by my teammate Andrea who has his problems to controll who follow him. In front of me I have Hristo, Evil and Natan. Almost at the finish line of 4th lap, Natan in front of me, took the last curve with external line leaving me the room to attack him with an internal line. So I've tried to overtake him. Obviously I knew he was beside me and, to avoid any contact during the overtake, I managed to maintain my course almost over the inner track limit line, but at a certain point and without to perceive any contact, I've seen in the back mirror a car going to hit the external curve barriers. I'm sorry for that but checking the replay (when I still was on the server but out of race), it seems that Natan steers to close the curve maybe because he doesn't have exact perception of my position. Anyway in the following 2 laps, I'll reduce the gap from Evil and at final I'll overtake him getting the 2nd place just behind Hristo. At T5R, I was in 5th gear along the stright and instead to downshift 4, 3, I only have downshifted to 4 and then to 3. The action has been too slow. Because of this wrong action, the car made a spin out. So Natan and Andrea have overtaken me. In a few laps, I was close to Andrea again and while Andrea were overtaking Natan during T4L, Natan left the door open for me too and...following Andrea I've made the same thing remaining also this time close to the inner track limit line. Once again Natan has steered to close the curve while I was beside him and so hitting my back and sending both on the external grass. He recovered almost imediately back to track and I've made the same thing following him. While I was closing again to Natan, the next lap during the acceleration exiting from T4L for the faster part of the track, my engine exploded and... AMEN ! This is my point of view obviously and I've not still taken a look to the replay file saved by the server, it is just what I remember. Bye. P.S.: @Francesco, the "someother in the preceding lap" you said before was I!!!

Sorry should have made it clear - my wife sees this as something childish and has an amazing facility to drain the enjoyment out of it...

Childish? Let her attempt to drive one of these... tell her that killing the kid inside is the quickest path to old age. In any case, tell her that if you stop, SHE won't be pleased!!!
