Accident prone race for me. Off the line was side-by-side with Mclaren, I touch him and spins me into wall losing part of my front wing. Pit 2 laps later then lap 7 i have a spin at the chicane. Puts me last. I manage to pull my way back to 7th, then olliekart crashed so i finished in 6th. Gutted about the start otherwise I may have finished higher. Well done to the top guys, well raced.

 

[Dylan Hember]

Bad luck mate. I aslo disconnected in group 1. Not used to disconnecting (well since anyway). I was 2nd in quali and then got disconnected.

Good race guys, very pleased with the result, seeing as I have only done 20laps on the track in the past month, got a little fortunate with Lee running out of fuel, which in my head I was expecting one of the front runners to. The end of the race couldn't have came quick enough, only got a couple of hours sleep last night and i'm shattered!

 

[Deane Cockerill]

Sorry about the 1st corner. I was aiming for the wrong spot.

 

[Scott Webber]

Hmmm Qualified extremely Fast with andrew... only to be HIT by a SPEEDER who cannot learn the braking point, that pretty much ruined my race at the start, most Driver's we're very careful apart from one speeding without braking..... SSscruddy next time please learn the braking point & be careful, it's not a dig at you but damm you went flying into me

I had 2 penalty's from the bump in the Pitlane as you come out..... oh well i finished 4th.... thanks to Andrew for his awesome setup, works perfect in wet & Dry.

EDIT--

No problem Ssscuddy iv'e just seen your post... if you want a video on how the track is done let me know i'll make a video

Accident prone race for me. Off the line was side-by-side with Mclaren, I touch him and spins me into wall losing part of my front wing. .

Yeah I had a pretty strong start, managed to get straight on the gas and rolled away like Alonso! Didn't feel the contact, sorry it resulted in you hitting the wall.

Forgot to mention that as usual with my setup I had severe downforce problems on the slower turns, resulting in me loosing the back end 5/6 times during a crucial battle with Jamie-Lee, which if it wasn't for him driving into the armco' may well have resulted in him being the victor

 

[Nicholas Farr]

That was interesting. Qualified 2nd after Ollie absolutely destroyed what I thought was quite a good lap. Got a good start and made a pretty daring move down the outside into turn 1. Good driving by Ollie to leave me enough room. Made a mistake later on in the lap and allowed Ollie back through. Ollie then had his problem as he described and that left me quite a long way in front and then I was alone for most of the race.

It did look like Ollie and Jamie had a good scrap in the early laps and then I think Rob, Jamie and Lee had a good battle. I am only judging this on the leaderboard though!

Anyway see you guys next week.


PS. Good stuff by the backmarkers to get out of the way cleanly.

 

[Christian Schoeler]

Congrats to the drivers on the podium, was a nice and clean race apart from Deane flying past me at the start...lol...

Had a bad qualifying, but the race started from 7th up to 3rd after the first corner...

After that was on a slow but stabil setup, still managed to go off in three corners, switched to primes and stayed on them until the end...

Was great fun to race with you all...

 

[Jamie-Lee Mayers]

quali was ok but i was on for a quicker lap although i would have just moved me to 3rd rather then 4th, i think thats my first sunday race off the front row. start was good thought i had Lee at the start but he tucked into third then spun, me and ollie had a good fight for a while his connection was a little wierd he was ghosting and turning sideways at some points lol i pitted came out behind Rob and had a dice with him which i won, pulled away by two seconds only to misjudge T3 and get a puncture and a broken front wing but still retained 3rd. Nicholas had lapped me so i crossed the like just after him and was shown in third on the leaderboard until Lee crossed the line when he went from i think 6th to 3rd which in a little confused about as i presumed he got lapped to but hey these things happen i guess. still happy as im now up to 5th in the title hunt

 

[Matthew Jenkins]

Wounded mate. I even hardwire the xbox to the modem for the racing to avoid this kind of thing.

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Qualified on wets as 4th, time was a bit dissapointing. Timed to make one flying lap just before the flag dropped, but the timing was not that good I was caught in traffic with CHS and Andrew and I scr*wed it up for a 3rd grid position.

Race start was good could avoid everyone in the first corner and followed Andrew to Eau Rouge. After the long straight we both made a mistake with cold tires and heavy fuel load and missed the corner. I drove slowly waiting for the cars to pass me when I got a big bump from behind. Was dead last, thanx to the full wets I was able to gain places and got in 3rd. When the rain stopped I went for primes. Andrew and Luke were in front. I gained some ground on Luke and I think he made some mistakes which made me close the gap and pass him. He was faster, as my set up wasn't perfect for the dry. 5 Laps fefore the end my brakes started locking up and went wide a couple of times. Luke could pass me. In sector 1 and 3 I was faster, but he could makde the gap big enough so I couldn't slipstream. In lap 30 I locked up and ended in the trap and that was the change to become 2nd. From that moment on I brought the car home without pushing.

Congrats to Andrew for the win and also Thank you for hosting this exciting race... at least for me it was.

 

[Andrew Bortz]

Well im absolutely chuffed with that, havent driven there for a while.

Qualified on pole on my final attempt with 2 secs to spare.

Light rain for the start of the race.

Got a decent start no incidents for me hit the apex of turn 1 and was away, slight mistake at the end of the long straight but no real issues.

Pitted on lap 10 for Primes came out behind Videal who gave me a scare thinking he already pitted, thankfully he hadnt and I blazed round the outside of a turn.

All race long my front brakes were overheating.

Went to the end on that set of primes lapping left right and center good job to all who moved out of the way (although some of you seemed to think I must of been a cruise liner coming through at 1000MPH judging by how quickly and how much you guys moved off the track altogether )

Very good race guys even if it wasnt event packed for me.

 

[Andrew Shepherd]

it was unfortunate though. it was a great race.

 

[Tim Popplewell]

Didn't feel the contact, sorry it resulted in you hitting the wall.

Not your fault. Was only very slight tough and I thnk I had some wheel spin which just spun me round

 

[Robert McCoy]

Could not make it something came up sorry guys..

 

[Scott Webber]

All Catalunya Threads will be CLOSED Tommorow , Monaco Threads will be open tommorow also with a special message to all it's a very serious one, so i suggest everyone reads it ( no excuses )

 

[Peter Hooper]

Tough luck Gagsy... I did warn everyone that Catalunya seems to be a real disconnect nightmare. I have raced two online league races there now with a total of 9 finishers!! I actually disconnected when we were sitting at the final results screen so I was pretty lucky there.. like you I also usually have a rock solid connection.

Agree Andrew Andrew.. great race.. the rain really screwed me up but can't complain with the result.

Good job again all and congrats again NoScope...

 

[Andrew Shepherd]

heavy rain for first 5-10 laps then dried up then started again in lap 15/16.

 

[Peter Hooper]

No worries Robert.. these things happen.

 

[Andrew Shepherd]

you were catching up to me at times.
