That was first time i raced with you guys. I used to have connection fail issue all the time.

It was great experience to try to compete with you guys. Qualified 3rd but gap between me and 2nd Andrew was saying to me a lot... lack of practice and no expierience with pro's

Start was ok for me but when i slowed down to first corner somebody hit me in the back...... so i came off the track ...back again... then that incident with first 3 drivers... i came in 2nd... rain stopped. I started having problem with rear end going wide on hard corners. Made few mistakes... Then went for hard tyres and stay on the track till the end...as i thought it will make more sense considering i was in force india with pit lane bug... When Andrew pitted i was 1st for a while... only while... He was so fast i didnt even wanna try fight too much when he got close... Then i had very tense fight with Sefan... My rear back end issue made some mistakes and he passed me... then i decided to drive all the time with wing up... that helped a bit... He was faster on straight... i was catching up in corners expecially in 2nd sector... finally i passed him. It looked like he was still on intermediates

Then i was bulding the gap. Over 50 seconds behind Andrew made me think i should just stick on 2nd as he was well over my limits... So congratulations to Andrew... well deserved... Thanks to Stefan for great fight... Also i wanna say thank you guys for let me play with you... Hope to race again.

been a long time since we raced missed you guys was way off the pace going to get back in to the swing of things for next race i hope good clean race though guys

Peter Hooper · May 22, 2011

Yeah I thought I might have a chance after your pit stop. Made a schoolboy error though after pitting for primes... left my engine map at standard for about the next 10 laps or so before I realised... lol cost me a fair bit of time dopey sod!! It's all good though... really enjoyed the race again

I think I could have run forever on those primes!! Shame so many lost connection though :S

Andrew Shepherd · May 22, 2011

i was always messing up on the chicane when i put the options on. but there was a significant improvement in my lap times.

Peter Hooper · May 22, 2011

I managed to stay error free at the chicane which used to cause me no end of trouble when I first tried this track!! I made a couple of errors at turn 7 though, running wide and into the gravel which cost me around 15 seconds or so. I managed around a 1:25.4 on my primes and was able to be fairly consistently around that time over the last 10 laps or so even in the rain at the end.

Andrew Shepherd · May 22, 2011

i think we had a collision when you were going in the pits.

Peter Hooper · May 22, 2011

No we didn't touch (I think).. I was coming in on that lap and as I got there you were turned around across the entrance and I broke hard and turned towards the wall but I don't think we touched.

Andrew Shepherd · May 22, 2011

srry 'bout that i messed up on the chicane.

Always a pleasure to drive with people with considerate driving skills and you werent that slow it was more that I am beginning to be extremely consistant witht he raw speed I had already.

Peter Hooper · May 22, 2011

No worries mate, it happens and was no biggie I was pretty surprised to see you sitting there though lol gave me more time to make sure I chose primes on my eventual way in

Andrew Shepherd · May 22, 2011

glad to get a lot of points. btw does it always happen when people have to go in different cars for some reason?

Peter Hooper · May 22, 2011

Yeah the points haul is a nice bonus. sorry I'm being a bit thick... does what always happen?

Andrew Shepherd · May 22, 2011

im meant to be in the mercedes but im always in a different car for sum reason cuz other people use different cars

Peter Hooper · May 22, 2011

I have always been in the Sauber as thats the car I was allocated from the beginning and I think if you are a full time driver you should be in your allocated car. Mind you... I would not want to be in the Mercedes!!! I find that the most difficult car to drive with that high nose.. feel like I need to crawl out of the cockpit and look over the top to see properly :S

Jean-Francois Matte · May 22, 2011

OK guys I really am fed up with zNorzia. Around lap 26, I lapped the guy (I'm 4th, he's last). He then starts to race me as if we were fighting for position ! He's right up my butt, almost touching me, lap after lap, and of course he hits me, at the hairpin, twice on different laps, and spins me out on another lap ! Turn after turn he obviously takes the hairpin to fast and can't turn...I regain my position (remember he's one lap behind me, we're NOT fighting for a position), and shure enough, he overtakes me again, touches me...Anyway this goes on and on, makes me lose a lot of time, and then DupesBaby (p5) overtakes me as a result of me losing so much time fighting a guy a lap behind me...Lucky DupesBaby ran out of gas on last lap (did you Dupes ?), so at least I regained my 4th position.

Anyway, totally unacceptable behavior, the guy doesn't have a clue what he's doing. I think he really tought we were fighting for a position !

I have lots of patience, and I do my best to drive cleanly. But this time, I was really really close to ram him right on the side. Not fun at all.

I'd like the stewards to investigate this....

Matthew Jenkins · May 22, 2011

Well done to No scope. sounded like a good race. Just done a few practice laps @ monaco. OMG that is gonna be one interesting race!

Paul Lock · May 22, 2011

Scott, you didnt happen to edit out the apologies from alexanders post did you?

Looks to me like he is saying there that we are all wrong, and he is right.
Oh sorry, I mean he is saying Zomacher and Italian are wrong - he seems to have avoided including me in his version of events.

Early practice eh Gagsy

I have driven there in one online race so far but it only last about 10 laps for me before I was disqualified for blocking despite letting the cars through as soon as I got the mesage to allow them through!! I really enjoy the challenge there but in GP mode practice I find there is terrible stuttering on the exit of the swimming Pool complex making that the toughest part of the circuit for me, you finding that at all? What sort of times you getting in your early laps?

Jono Dupres · May 22, 2011

Yes i noticed i was gaining quite quickly, then when i saw 2 red dots i assumed it was 4th and 3rd fighting for position. As i got right up to the fight i noticed it was 4th with 6th in front and instantly i said he needed to let you past, but i think you both went off and i got past. Then i paid the price for going flat out again for last 4 laps thinking i would have just enough fuel, but not quite. I spose its only fair you finished ahead of me; i would've been shouting down headset if i was in your position!

he needs his ass kicked for that...
