First of all gratz to the podium finishers kangaroo and TGWulfyn.

I was pretty happy with my qualifying time. I did 1.13,636 on primes, that was my best time ever in qualifying.

Then the race:

TGWulfyn had a better start, but I managed to defend my position on the first corner, thanks for a clean start guys! unTill lap 7 the gap between TGWulfyn and me slowly raised to 5 seconds, then he made a mistake and the gap was 8 seconds. After that I just knew that I already had won this race. in lap 22 I did my best time on primes: 1.14,5. In lap 23 I did my pitstop, I braked very early( I didn't want to be penalized). The Ferrari crew did a great job, my pitstop time was just 3,8 seconds!

Then I came out on softs, put my engine mode on standard and cruised to the finish.

I want to thank the backmarkers for let me through without any problems:)

cya the next race guys!
 
I just want to know from evryone ,who started with FULL wet tyres
I think that I was the only one who started full wet.
I had also a penalty of corner cutting the first few laps ,was struggeling with the corners specialy the last corner.
normaly I take it fast but now I wanted to be carefull and I had problems with it.

But again I need to know who was on full wet at the start.
I was on full wet,I was lucky that stopped raining before I pitted so I switched to primes, and I had a solid race no stress,
I wanne thanks bend for hitting zomacher ,so I could both overtake both car at the same time,I got evrything on movie,specialy the incident bend zomacher ,was funny:)
also unlucky for zomacher and bend tried to gain his car back on the track and zomacher just came on the spot where bend came ,was realy funny.
Il post the race I try to do it fast as possible,I'm abit dissapointed for joempi,he deserve to get points ,I played so mutch with him last weeks and this happens :( to bad joemp
 
Very good race guys, I really enjoyed fighting back through the pack after I got a penalty 1st lap for cutting turn 4 when I was left no room. Was 13 secs down after taking my penalty to lindblom but was getting fantastic slipstreaming to claw that time back. Had some fantastic close battles and overtakes and only had 2 little errors all race, jst little sideways drifts lol. Really fair racing from every1 and once again the back markers done a gr8 job moving over without losing themselves too much time. I Look forward Valencia
 
well done to podium finishers!

Can't really say much except my race sucked!
It was very hard for me to push the car in the rain + my setup. So i ended nearly losing the car atleast 8 times and spinning out about 2 :(

Not a real good start, ended up getting 2 penalties aswell and knockiong over my pitman lol.
Lost alot of focus after some spins and just could'nt get back on track.
 
Can someone confirm these qualifying times

It's hard for me to judge, but for sure it is difficult to see where the person in the corner is, when you come out of the pits. Ofcourse you try to stay ahead and contact can happen. Aside from that though, the other driver could have taken a wider line into that corner while coming out of the pits though to avoid contact. May even be that he crossed the white line while coming onto the track and bumped into you. Up to the stewards for their judgement!
 
Good race guys

Not the most exciting race, will render the video overnight.

Qualified on primes on pole with a 1:12.607

Had an alright start and braked tooo early into the first corner knowing I was on the less grippy tyre, lost out to Igor in the 2nd corner and followed him for a few laps keeping right on his gearbox and moving out in braking zones to try and force a mistake.

Finally got past him and stuffed it up later in the lap so saved a little fuel for about a lap then wen back to fast mode and had a great exit through the last chicane where as Igor had a bad exit, I cruised alongside him and tucked myself infront and fromthere on I just kept increasing the gap even though I was on the slower tyre.

2/3 through the race we had a lap of rain even though we had a 0% forecast.

came into pits on lap 27 for options and just kept going faster and faster finally managing a 1:12.2 cruised to the victory and did a celebratory spin over the line.
 
well that was an interesting race for me...

1st of all, congrats to mattie, just to damn quick! i was losing a little time per lap no matter what i tried.

2nd of all, i am soooooo sick of getting turned around at the first corner!! devil spins to the front/side of me, elite and i bang wheels gently mind you but BANG, my rear goes wild, elite and i are off and i am last and trailing the leader by 10 secs at turn 4!! Now i don't know who/what caused me to spin but it's frustrating because i am driving carefully through turn 1.

3rdly, i am extremely happy with 2nd place for my first league event :)
qualy was average, not good not bad. 4th on primes, start was ok then went bad turn 1 and 2. then i picked my way through the field, some stopped early (must have started on options) passed some people for position, got to 2nd and then it was a lonely race for a LOT of it due to mattie being to far ahead leading from the front with no problems? and others far behind. when i passed devil early on he stayed with me for some laps...i was edging away...then he disappeared to?
a slow pitstop which cost me about 4-5 secs to mattie was a little frustrating but he was to quick to catch. but still my HRT boys and girls have some serious practise to do...
backmarkers were great, thx!! got some footage of elite spinning behind me several corners after i lapped him :-(
apart from the start, it was good clean racing.
thx everyone :)

video coming later
 
I started on full wets as well,
I just feel empty inside that all this training and fun is flushed down the toilet in split second. Why the "Connection failed" I don't have any Idea I could see everyone online and receive my messages, but just dropped from the race... 2 Weeks practise... 0 points....
 
Oeff!

Very tough first race for me with the new league! Qualy went ok.. messed up two hot laps in the end though, might have gotten 3rd place. Start of the race was horrible, i had a wet setup saved but i loaded the dry one by accident.. >< Was struggling very hard in the first few laps and lost 2 places. Stayed out on inters till lap 15 so i could make only 1 stop to hards. Might have been wrong tactic looking back, but who knows. Had two awesome battles with zomacher and dion halfway the race! They were both quicker then me but i managed to keep them behind for a few laps each with some close defending. Congratz to italian, his pace was very good today.

Good one Bill, Congrats on the podium... Didn't I say so!!! ;)
 
Not sure how this is going to work out. We ended up having two races as the first seemed to go belly up after a lot of DC's...

First race was fun. Second, well if we're going to take the second race then I will want a stewards inquiry into an inccident on lap 21 where I feel I was wrongly taken off as my video will show.

I recorded both races sessions..

Sorry to have disturbed your ablutions Richard :D Just didn't want you to miss the race, we do pride ourselves on good clean racing and I do think that some of the new blood was a bit to eager to overtake tonight but I have to give kudos to Scrudzy, you moved out of the way when required and we always appreciate that.
 
well group 4 have had a lot of driving to do tonight, 11 starters which was great, we all qualified and started the race. About midway through we all got disconnected at the same time so i had to make a decision, i messaged a few of the other drivers to see what we could do and it was decided to restart completely, Luckily the re-run of the race went off without a hitch.

i have to apologise to ExarDuffman, i invited him to the race but he didn't appear so i sent a message and i didn't get a reply so i waited 1 minute and then started. I also have to apologise to Tracy for running into the back of him on lap 4, i didn't expect you to brake so early, sorry.

congratulations to Juulzor, Darco and MuFaS for taking the podium spots.
