I wonder why do I even bother... 2nd race in a row where Juha brakes too late for a hairpin and ends up in my car.  

i agree you say i make a mistake on hairpin , but hard to say i pushed your car, it looks like you was already stuck in tires.  Anyway i was wrong or right i apologize.

Juha

[Raoni Frizzo]

My race was pathetic after the 1st lap...

I had a great first lap, passing Hristo and Juha (who were stuck at Nouveau Monde). Then I was chasing Arf and passed him after he made a little mistake at the start of lap 2.

After this, my race was terrible. I had a spin completely alone at the hairpin....after some seconds I was chasing Juha and touched him at the second hairpin. I'm really sorry, Juha..it was completely my fault and I ruined your race, because your car seemed to not work properly after the crash.

I was relegated to the back of the field and then started to have some nice battles with some drivers. When I reached Rainier, I made a mistake at the long turn before the backstraight, went off to the grass and hit a tree very hard. End of the race for me...

Rouen is definetely a unlucky track for me. I always do some terrible races there. Today it was one more to the count

Grats Tristan for the win, Sergio for the win on the other server and to the both podiums too. And sorry again for the tap, Juha!

Trolled around at the back running in the 2:14s - hopeless here, needed lots more practice but holidays interfered.

Was running tenth when Nicky and Ronnie crashed ahead of me... So Nicky out and Ronnie a lap up but there for the catching. 7L to go and I had pulled a mile out on him in one lap. Six to go this should be easy meat although I couldn't catch Roberto and DuFossa who were less slow than me... then I blew my engine!!! Couldn't believe it.

Ahh well. Enjoyed it anyway.

Erm a case of looking at Prib too much and the Chief Mod not knowing the rules...

Happy with qually, not up with the fast boys but a respectable 5 something. Settled down to a potential battle with my teammate Steve, was looking clean but no quarter given, then I noticed on Prib Natan was battling Martin further back. Lesson here, don't start to wonder if that might be interesting going into the hairpin or you might get hooked and stuck over the upturned tyres. Luckilly Steve and a couple of cars behind got through safely.

OK here's the bit where you can laugh, or cry if you hit me... I couldn't remember if it was Pro or not so tried a few resets. Meantime someone (or someones) did hit my impaled chassis. Very sorry, if I'd remembered would have just hit 'esc' when I realised I was harpooned. Not sure there's a rule for "Appalling Oversight Chief Mod Forgets if the Rules allow a Reset" but sure it's two penalties.

[Arf Arf Arf]

I'd just like to say a big thankyou to everyone I lapped tonight. Two of you were so keen to get out my way that I saw you crashing as I approached/in my mirrors as I moved away    I hope you recovered....

What a night for LoL2 - 1/2/4 !! (and very technically 7th too, as Roberto is our reserve, though not driving for us tonight)

Mind you, I could have so easily spoiled it, losing it 3 times at the hairpin, with not a car in sight of me each time. My lap times were poor, but I think I should be happy about that. I was alone for the whole race, and had a healthy gap to Nicky and then Juha, so no reason to push. I just left it to my mind to play games on me and make it difficult for myself!

Roll on Spa!!

[BadBlood]

LOL - Thought - ah blast he has caught me at the hairpin, give him room, give him room... Arrrgggghhhhh

I was fine though...

[BadBlood]

[BadBlood]

Well I have just downloaded it and it is fine. I'm uploading again. Just in case. It will be ready at 12:25.

.....good lonely race after the hairpin of lap 1 ....... I just control the gap and drive as slowly as possible, 'cause of the temp and fuel..... I finish with 2 liters fuel ....   .....anyway , my setup was not on top , and I don't espect a victory against the poleman ..... but it's the race ! .....although happy to win       and happy for the team who score a lot !! ..... bravo les gars !  ....ARF x3 second  !! and Dave with the best progression ( start 11 ....finish 4 ! ).......YO!

 ....rendez-vous à SPA

ciao tutti

thx to the ORGANISATION and everybody .....

[Hristo Itchov]

OK here's the bit where you can laugh, or cry if you hit me... I couldn't remember if it was Pro or not so tried a few resets.

I was also pressing shift-r about 10 times before I realized it was not upcoming cars prohibiting me to reset but the Pro damage setting, lol. It's difficult to keep in mind all the differences between divisions in terms of pro/int damage, number of shift-rs allowed and stop/go or 10 stop pitstop.

I usially aprroach each race like a pro race and its much simplier... not that it helps my consistency...

[NickyIckx]

Was running tenth when Nicky and Ronnie crashed ahead of me... So Nicky out and Ronnie a lap up but....

  wasnt me I am sure    as I lost my car on my own due to lag/brakin circumstances .
happend at L16 , I was on 3rd that time and nobody near in any direction .

  wonder if it was the server or my connection , or maybe those Direct 3Dv2 I`m running for the first time ...
looking at my own replay , lots of car did spin without any reason really to see clear .. well have to compare with server replay later on .

But anyroads , I was so terrible slow that an 3rd would have been extreme undeserved ,lol

edit well , just did check the server replay : my car starts to shake somehow at T1 in lap 16 and didnt settle down ..got even more bad to entry of T2 ..results in a right move while braking .
havnt a clue what happend ....
But looks like lots of other cars did act strange too sometimes ( and got lost of control ) ....

e.c

I wonder why do I even bother... 2nd race in a row where Juha brakes too late for a hairpin and ends up in my car.

server replay dontt show anycontact made by Juha , but certainly show Hristos car behave strange .

edit 2
congratulations to winner and podiums ones as well to all could finish the race ..

Too short race for me...

Had a good setup to survive.
In quali I did my PB in the tow of Tristan, wich gave me the 6th on grid.

The race had a good start, just Nicky got away faster and caught me into T1.
After lap 1 was in 6th place following in a save distance.

But then came lap 2 Hairpin where Raoni spun and made a hairy rejoin.
I was following him through the next corners where he rearended Juha into Sanson.
I had left lots of space but my other teammate just gave me a little bump and I was stuck too...
Down to 11th!

The next laps went well and on 9th lap I was again in 6th position chasen by David.
Reaching the hairpin on lap 10 there was Jason just emerging from the polos.
I have no idea how this happened, I ran a little wide and was suddenly stuck with a big tire in my cockpit
 End of the race........
