[Nils Wijk]

Ok I am going crazy now. I had a diner at some nice restaurant, left early to make the race. On my way home I noticed a old couple with a puncture. I helped the get in touch with the ANWB (dunno english for this lol) Just made it home in time to log on. Quali starts noticed my wheel software was not loaded so I had no separate axis for brake and throttle. Alt tabbed to load the software and my GFX is flipping. No way to drive hope it will return to normal after the race session loads but I am affraid it won't <img src="http://forum.racedepartment.com/images/smilies/extra/sad.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Sad" smilieid="710" class="inlineimg" /> Last race I noticed someone joining during quali so I took my chances. So praise the lord!!! and big thanx to the one keeping the session open for joining during Q

I saw it, Terry. I feel bad for you. Hope all works out for you in next and last race:wink:

 

[Christopher Aponte]

first of all...grats to Cristian & Henrik (you were on fire tonight)

second
this is not the way it should have been going in the rear pack
we have 9 rounds behind us and still there are crashes in first turn

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

Qualified in 4th.

Race 1: 3rd for almost the whole race, and I thought I would finish 3rd, but Marcin got a stop&go in the last lap, so I finished 2nd.

Race 2: This race was much more fun! Had a very nice battle with Henrik for almost the whole race while we came closer to the 2 cars in front of us. We passed the car that was in 2nd position and in the last lap Henrik also passed the car in 1st position, but I wasn´t able to to that, so I finished 3rd.

Grats to Cristian and Henrik for winning the races and see you all at macau

Hmm to bad you did not try to join again. Quali was open for joining and the warmup session afterwards would have been also I think.

 

[Thomas Lee]

First race 6th>8th.

Second 3rd>8th>smashed into>13th.

 

[Keith Peppiatt]

Practice set a pb first time under 2.02!!! shocked myself hoped not blown too soon and in Quali was in a fraction of it and sat 3rd on grid.

Race1 - got a good start and up to 2nd. few laps with some pressure behind but the guy behind made an error at 2nd chicane giving me a 4.5 second breather to car behind. pulled this out to 5 but with no chance of catching Greg just got into a nice rythm. 2 warnings thru first 8 laps meant lap 9 was taken very cautiously but still held about 4 seconds over car behind... they probably doing the same!

Race2 - yeah.. um... poor start... nerves got the better of me and i double tapped the gear up and "sped" away in 2nd gear. 7th to 17th... fought my way back up thru but this is a lot harder to get into a rythmn. some good battles and thought may have a run on michael on last lap but he cunningly knew where i was faster and hovered on the apex meaning i had to brake a while longer. good tictacs and a very aware driver. :thumb: crossed in 8th. happy with that with my porr get away. and only one apex warning!!! cool!

overall some of the best racing i've been involved in here. good clean. agressive and fair. the first few corners were perfect with everyone showing that extra bit of caution with out being dangerous. loved it! G4 is where it is at!!!

 

[Andrew Evans]

you can't join a server during warmup

 

[Stirb Iuliu]

First race I was pushed, bumped and, as this was not enough, in Variante Gabor Feher braking late on purpose, catapulted me off road, damaging my suspension and almost ruining my race.


Same Gabor, in Parabolica, deciding to get ride of me, throws his car furiously into the inside, catapulting me into the wall.


This was worst than Anderstorp. Nothing has changed, not even after my very long e-mail. Only blank words from admins that mean absolutely nothing.




After the tension from the first race and some friction between the drivers, second race, theoretically, everybody should have stayed calm and drive fast but safe.




Second race, I was in 5th position after 3 laps, and Peter Boszormenyi, pushed me on purpose in Ascari. Got catapulted into the walls, sustained heavy damage, last position and crawled like a worm for the rest of the race.

And after that Peter tells me I'm aggresive.


Shame RD for not managing to impose a safe atmosphere and civilized driving. Shame for all the drivers involved especially Gabor and Peter and some others...



I went to karting last week-end with my sister. There were boys and girls there who didn't even had a driving license and yet they were driving 200% more safe and civilised than some of the drivers in here...


I don't want to hear about this Championship and RD for a long time from now on.

[Henrik Horvath]

Thx for the second race Patrick, u was so fair.

 

[Mikael Larsson]

Dont be sure Henrik, there might be a lot of DQ and I'm in a good position from 20th

Grats to all fair drivers!!

 

[Jacco Cornelissen]

Quali p11
Race 1
When the race started it was big trouble in the first corner.
when i was out that corner i had a suspension problem and with some luck i finished P8.
Race 2
I started on pole lol
Afther corner 1 i was on P2 and drove a while when Garry overtook me in lap 4 i think it was.
Afther some laps Marko was closing in on me and when he tryed to pas me i made a really big mistake i was steering to fast to the right when Marco was still near me.
So i hit him a little bit in the back off his car and he lost control.
All i can say Marko is that i am really sorry.
I waited a while for you but you where to far a way in the grid so i went on again i lost a lot off places because off that accident.
Better luck next time.
Macau is the next race that will be bumping see you guys there.
