That was hard work today. Great ride Steve. I thought it was going on like that the whole hour. And Allan came closer and closer too. Luckily I was able to relax a bit after the pit stop because I didn't change tires. It was a lot of fun today!

Something else: My Helicorsa is suddenly gone. No longer visible on this bar on the right of the screen even though it is activated. How can that be? Does somebody has any idea?

I've lost it sometimes from the screen as it's easy to move and it's invisible normally. But not lost it from the menu. Maybe reinstall it?

Oh man, I almost totalled my car in the second to last lap. Not sure what happened there, must have lost concentration I think.

Feldbergring always was a good track for me.

Thanks for the race!

That was great fun. I screwed up my pitstop as in i had forgot we had a compulsery pitstop and selected tyres just in case i needed them. Of course i did not. Realised my mistake within seconds of starting. Anyway, probably did not change my overall position but seemed an age waiting for the damn things and watching Hank vanish after his splash and go. A great race with Hank through most of the hour and apart from Laurent who had his own race the following four cars were never too far apart through the race. Sorry Mika if i was a little agressive in the early laps. Sorry Allan that you had to follow my dust storm when i got really untidy on the last lap

I took tyres as well, I'm not sure which is faster when battling cars on equal pace.

I don't think you were too aggressive at all, you were just faster than me and wanted to overtake me. I think I made the overtake too easy by choosing the shorter gearing, that one part of straight after the pits is where I really suffered from it. But everywhere else it felt easier and safer to drive, and I really didn't want to mess up yet another race.

It has been nice to see how much your pace has improved. I remember I always used to be faster than you on THR races, and now that has completely turned around.

I think Mika we both started with THR around the same time. I remember we both drove the GP mod we are in now and give or take there was not much between us at the time. You i think got quicker and i did'nt. I may of played catch up somewhat but i still dont think there is much between us. I just think our form just ebbs and flows depending on what we are driving and what mood we are in. Anyway, you were way in front of me the other day in VIR with the 70's GTs i believe

Yeah, it could be, I didn't actually check laptimes from old races, just the championship positions. And you missed a lot more races than me, so it's a bit hard to compare those.
I also think I just had too fresh memories of you beating me with the Escort three times in a row, and also losing to you at Mosport on Sunday.

Anyway, it's so much fun battling with you on the track, you're always clean and fair.

In yesterday's race I very quickly decided that I won't even try catching you. The gap behind me was growing so fast that I had no need to push, so I just decided to keep my position and bring the car safely to finish. It was a smart choice, because you then beat my PB from quali four times in the race - I never would have had any chance of catching you, no matter how hard I would have pushed.
I still made one error, when I took a quick toilet break at the Gasthaus (or whatever it is), I think @JamKart22 saw this

I really struggled at Mosport on Sunday, i only passed you because i maybe had a slightly faster exit and drafted you up the hill . Trust me, it will be the other way around in a few weeks. I,m convinced luck goes in good and bad waves in this hobby
