Yep, really sucks I can't do late night before work as I wake up at 3am, normally asleep by 10pm

 

[EireGreen™]

I'm in

Great, you've completed our grid

For others, do not hesitate to still sign up. Last minute signouts can always happen so you might still be able to race

 

[Ricoow]

Still is a shame how the pitcomplex features 26 pitboxes (all 26 replicated by Kunos) but they still found room for just 18 cars...

Thanks for the tag @Herbie! Unfortunately I managed to broke my right foot, so pushing the throttle might be too painful right now.. anyway I see you have a full grid so I wish you all a great and a fun race, may the best win

Left foot driving an option??
Jk, but how did you do that? I hope you recover soon

Great 2 races. Wheel to wheel action all the way. But damn the Z4 gets outgunned on the straigths. Can´t wait for the Audi

Also this is a very nice format for these sprint races. Thanks for the race guys, see you next time!

RACE RESULTS

Oh man, screwed up the setup massively. Too much downforce.

However, fun 2 races. Race 1 was a calm, incident free run to 9th. I managed to pull off a few good moves on lap 1, and then just drove my race and watched as everyone else crashed. It was a struggle on the straights, but I had enough in the braking zones to defend.

Race 2 was mixed. Started well enough and kept position. Stayed 8th for a bit until i ran slightly wide at Scheivlak (or whatever it's called) and @Ricardo went up my inside. I knew he was there, but I turned in too early to the next corner and we hit. I claim it was my fault, and he claims it was his . Anyway, we resumed in the same position and carried on. Next lap, I screw up the same corner (not quite as badly), so Ricardo's there, but not as far up. I leave space into the next corner but still get hit as he jumped the kerb. We carried on though. Ricardo gets through at turn 1, I follow him, but run wide at turn 3 and can do nothing about sliding into Ricardo at turn 4.

Pit, put softs on and rejoin. All going well until about 3 laps to go when the tyres have enough. Ricardo (who pitted again) is closing rapidly. He's on my tail heading into the last lap. I go round turn 1 slightly wide, but still get a tap and stay ahead. After a few understeery corners, we head into the Audi S side-by-side. I was on the inside, but the 86% tyres didn't like my braking point, so I skidded into the gravel, stopping Ricardo getting the cutback by dragging him in too. I escape ahead, but 85% tyres need a heavy lift through the final corner, so I was a sitting duck and dropped a place.

Good racing, fair incident handling between me and Ricardo and some good laughs meant this was an enjoyable race (apart from being well off the pace).
