How am i supposed to see this line into pits? :D It's just impossible.. sorry
 
What a h..l of a race. I need to calm down my nerves a bit more again for and in the next races (I was at a marathon run in regards of the pulse).
Intense.. always under pressure from Craig and maybe some few others.

I just wonder, why the (my) racepace always is around almost one second slower than before in the prac. server (or single player practice). Air temps were not high this time and trackgrip was also at almost 100%, so I've no clue what causes this. It is not the extra weight either, which 'causes' this. But else than that the race was fantastic !
 
Erwin was not available (in for his job), he wrote ' today at 21 h. Sean and I had just forgotten about that somehow.., though he even told us at least weeks ago he'll not be able to race in this champ. ;).
Sorry for that, next time when someone of our team would not be able to participate we'll watch out for a driver in the reserve driver thread to find a replacement there.

Disappointing race to be honest. Had two brilliantly fun laps of close combat at the start, then overcooked the rear and spun coming onto the back straight taking ages to bring it under control and back on track. Where I then immediately spun it again.

I think I spun it 5-7 times all in all, as I am just so unused to how the rear tyres on the Lambo seem to be host to a colony of pixies, who lie in wait before leaping out to smear butter and lube all over them if you so much as even think about getting a powerslide on. Maybe I exaggerate slightly, but damn if it doesn't make recovering from a spin a procedure something akin to performing brain surgery with a mallet.

Glad to see my teammate Allan pick up a point, and there's no shame in coming back from my mishaps to finish just behind him in 16th. Hopefully for the next round at Brands I will be slightly less unwell*, and somewhat better practiced.

*Among other things ailing me, having an injured right wrist (no jokes) certainly doesn't help with trying to correct a slide
 
very disappointed tonight practise so hard all for it to disappear after yet another incident on lap one maybe one day ill get a clean lap not holding my breathe tho :thumbsdown::(
 
Was off my own pace in qualy and in the race, again...
Had a good fight with one of the Ricardos from Redshift (the one with a touch of yellow on the back of his GTR :)), would have liked a bit more space here and there though. ;)
A nasty freeze in the last chicane ruined all my progress after my pitstop; got lucky I didn't hit the wall at all, then got taken out because some people apparently simply cannot race in a pack. The worst being I can't even put the blame on anyone but me for getting involved, I would have finished at least 6th had I let go of the throttle 1 second earlier.
 
Amazing fights everywhere, I have been fighting for 34 laps. First 28 with @Tobias Röhner & @PfzFantaribo ! Then @Akis , @Samuel Fuller and @speedyx56 caught up to me on my first stint and them at their second, while they were on their second. Knowing they were around my teammate @Ricardo Edelmann before their stops, I tried to get my car as wide as possible to get Edelmann ahead of the group. That didn't completely work out as Edelmann joined midpack. Made a mistake then I had to let all of them pass so I wouldnt disadvantage my own teammate.
Two turns later an incident (which neither of us was involved in) took out all 3 competitors granting Edelmann the breathing space to secure 6th. I finally pitted on the end of lap 34 to complete the race on softs.
Rejoined P12, fought hard and fair with @metaDp and ended up in front of him securing P11 for Red Shift Racing :)
