Hi Bram, I didn't signed me in as a reserve jet, but maybe I can drive your spot on tonight's race, if there's no one else?..Get well soon

Greets Jer

Hi,

You can drive BMW #11. This will however means that you have to drive tonight and the remaining rounds with this car. Please let me know if that's okay as we are not looking for a single round substitution.

Sorry for the late reply, but Ross already told me I use the Audi #10? Thanks for still letting me join, even with the late sign-in..Great!

Front left puncture entering the final lap, made things quite interesting. Guess default except for wings and gears wasn't that ideal. And seeing how easily people flew past me on the straight tells me I should've dropped the rear wing a bit lower.

Congrats to the podium

No worries all fine

 

[Ronnie Böhme]

Sorry @Nobkins for that hit. you totally surprised me with that brakeing point. I've tried to save it but it was too late.

Fantastic race guys. Grats on the podium. Really really annoyed with myself, finished 23 but felt I should have been around 15th.....stupid stupid mistake leaving the pits when I had a brain freeze and forgot to brake... Car was damaged after that dunno if that caused me to lose it late on under DRS on that fastest corner as I had gone through every lap previous fine. Feeling like if I put the work in and practice I'm getting better and definitely more competitive. People like Jim, Ross and Steve are my benchmarks and I was competitive with them.....in fact faster than them all in practice. Was just behind Steve before my balls up. Just need to cut out the stupid idiotic mistakes that creep in.... Anyhow... Thanks all again!

That's two in two days, it will soon become tradition

Great battles going on tonight, was entertaining to watch

 

[Andrew Harper]

Had a reasonable race and I'm happy that I got a finish.

Some nice battles. I only lost time when I passed someone who'd spun but the game decided that I'd passed unfairly so I had to literally almost stop before I got a penalty. Probably lost about 20 seconds but hey ho.

My pace seemed quite good on worn tyres so at least that was something.

I've got a running event at the end of February so I'm using most of my spare time training for that but hopefully I'll get more spare practice time for the next one.

Well done to the top three. Great race.

I've got another league race on Wednesday, really hope I don't make it 3/3 there

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

That was fun guys, thanks all for joining again and see you at Portimao!

 

[Colin Herkes]

Great racing, really should of finished higher than 24th. Had a couple of spins which were my fault, sorry if I got in anybody's way coming back onto the track (did not do it on purpose). Then got my self a drive through for speeding in the pits.
Thanks for everybody involved for making these races happen

 

[Joeks]

Thanks for letting me join my first round of this championship! I had some though luck do, and I unfortunately hit someone from behind (on p12?) by mistake under breaking..sorry, my apologies.. Nevertheless, awesome race guys Gratz to the winners!

Greets, Jer

Just watched the replay back @kedy89 and it's clear I just tagged you plain and simple, so sorry once again. I should have given that position back straight away, and then to make matters worse I messed up giving the place back on the "last" lap I can only apologise!

@Daz85UK I was trying to tell you not to wait for me as I was stuck about a mile away from the track in the kitty litter! I was being optimistic trying to get around the outside of T1 so no need to wait, but thank you all the same!

Congratulations to the podium, and everyone else for that matter! Looking forward to watching the live stream back.

As said don't worry about it too much

My little claim to fame...the only track I've ever won on at RD. What a glorious day that was. Haha.

Then all you quick guys showed up and I don't stand a chance! Lol

 

[UMC 22]

Well, that could have gone better. I was very disappointed to be shoved off the track on lap one and then bumped into a spin by the same driver on lap two, especially since I'd made up so many places off the start. Last again through no fault of my own, just like round one. Very annoying.

That aside, I did have a nice battle with @Roy Magnes shortly after that, and with a few others during the first half of the race. After the pit stop (which I made early in a failed attempt to gain on the guys ahead) I settled into what was hotlapping really. I came very close to bursting a tyre by the end, so I imagine a few of you fast peeps were right on the edge for the last few laps.

Overall quite fun but looking forward to an incident free race for round three, hopefully.

No problem. I saw it as a racing incident. no real harm done but thanks for waiting. You didn't need to though.

Fantastic race again everyone, very exciting first half with too many battles to count. I played it safe in the second half to keep my tires from disintegrating while keeping a big enough gap with Manuel Alves and it worked.
I gave everything I had, the field is just insanely strong. Well done podium and every one else, it's something to just race in this league!
