Congratulation to the Podium.

To me it was kind of a quiet race from the middle of the race on. I tried to keep my nose clean and could pass a couple of cars because they were having problems but once they got their speed up again i had to let them pass, but i had a nice battle wit BritRudy over quite a few laps, but i couldn't hold him.

Then i had a nice rhythm until Skydiver hit me and spun me around. ;) Wasn't nice but didn't lost much time because of it.

It was fun again and i really looking forward to next weeks race.

Have a nice evening everybody.

Same here Timo thought i had a good race being my first and was over the moon coming in fith, i can rember our battle it was for about three laps or so, and i was getting very frustrated as i new i was losing a lot of time. but i just had to wait for the right moment to break late and then i was free, a great race and will done to the podium

Yeah, i was quite slow indeed. Because i was breaking early into the curves to make clear that i could drive through the corners errorfree.

I was holding my line and was wondering why i was able to hold you so long. I doesn't wanted to block you, but i wouldn't to wave you through that easy either, because we were racing for positions. ;)

Anyway it was a lot of fun to me, again.
 
Not a great race for me got hit at 1st corner which i then hit skydiver & bablad (sorry guys but not my fault ) got back in2 4th to get hit again and lost alotta time. I understand peeps wanting 2 make places but u r were u r because of qualifying if the car is slowing infront so must you. Also backmarkers get outta the way, really ****ed off coulda had 3rd if it wasnt destruction derby on 1st lap.
 
Sorry guys I think I hit a few people but my connection was proper poor. No idea what happened really. It was telling me I was in 4th place when I was actually fighting for 8th or 9th then when I managed to overtake 6th it told me I'd gone to 3rd. Was really confusing. Anyway it seemed I was making good times on the primes which I had started on and then it threw me out. Really wanna apologise to everyone I hit (or what looked to me like I hit). If I ruined your race I'm really sorry but I am truly gutted as I've been practicing that track for days non-stop as a few of you well know. Still not sure if my connection is sorted cos it telling me I'm online when I can't seem to get into any races. Hopefully all well tomorrow or at least by next week

Many Apologies Again, Bachelordad.
 
Clive i can undestand where you are coming from, one minute on the timings you where in front of me , and the next you where behind me , seemed very strange to me dont beat yourself up about it , we all have bad days i will look forward to racing with you again and i know how much you did practice for this race like i did but its all on the day when the adrenalin gets to us.

i look forward to racing with you many times in the future
 
Just wanted to apologize to anyone that I held up. When I would get the blue flag I tried my best to stay out of the way. At times I wasn't quite sure which side to take to stay out of the way. Hope I didn't ruin Anyones race. An absolute horrid race for me and somewhat frustrating. At one point I received a drive through, wasn't quite sure why I received that. I've practiced on that track quite abit but the pace most of u were keeping was pretty much out of my league. Trying to keep up was causing me to make many mistakes. I apologize profusely !!
I hope to try again if u folks don't mind. In a strange way I still had fun even though I SUCKED!!!
 
Qualified 5th in the very wet session. Not having done a wet lap here I was happy with that.
Excited. Full grid of good drivers, 33 laps here we go...
I got through the first corner as there is contact infront and found a gap on the outside of the 2nd to squeeze through, nice, then BAM, I was hit in the side and ended up in the gravel trap needing to use reverse... No one waiting for me to get back on the track...
11th.
A few laps later caught up and I had overtaken 2 people and was on the back of a string of about 5 cars. My heart was pounding and I rearly enjoyed the next few corners. I thought about the real F1 drivers and how their hearts are doing 180bpm average for the race, and knew why they do it. This was the best bit of on line racing I have ever done. To see the cars infront of me all going threw the corners was wicked. I tried to remain calm and look to pick my moment to make my move...
Then in the braking zone, Bam! Punted off again...
10th.
Tyres going off so in for Primes.
Out and in not very long blue flags, someone comes by and goes strait on at the following corner with a cry of too much curb... : )
Off I go, he catches up and gets by, then my dash is lit up by flashing lights. WHats that for I ask... no one replys, then up comes a flag 'Drive through this lap'... ho hum. The only thing I can put it down to was ignoring blue flags...
Through I went, NOw over a minute behind.
More blue flags and the I'm breaking for the corner and the dude who is coming through punts me off again... Nice.
Went in for new boots with about 8 laps to go. Tried to ask for options got INTERS! *&^% You cant get a good lap time on inters in the dry...
In again to change em. Got another set... INTERS ! F&*%!
Pitted one more time and took the primes on offer.
Finished the race 2 laps down.

You rearly have to take a bit more care in the first few laps. We are racing F1 here not doing dogems, but you know this all ready eh... If you hit someone you are requested to let them by according to the RD rules of engagememt...
33 laps is long enough to take advantage of someones mistake which we are all going to make sooner or later.
Please, lets take a bit more care next time boys huh?

Wayne, thanks for the racing mate. Hope you have a good time in what you do next. Take it easy huh dude!
Cheers
George
