yeah sorry for that. I changed my TS-username in advance to my real name but as i`ve learned now, that is not the name displayed in the channel.

Anyway, it was a pleasure had a lot of fun. Even though i did a Vettel starting from pole position

Thanks, Craig for organising. Apparantly I'm a hard learner. I didn't try on forehand if the clutch pedal would work on this car. It doesn't so I got a drive through penalty. Later I had some battles with John en Ernie which were fun. Second race I started behind John who had a lousy start. I went to the outside to pass him but there was another car which I didn't see. So I bumped back hitting John who did a 90 then. At first I drove on while thinking if it was my fault or not. My conclusion was yes so I waited for John in turn 1. So my apologies, John, for basically ruining your race. The rest of the race I was chasing Raresch but could not significally decrease the gap.

Congrats to the podiumguys. Nice laptimes! Hope to see you all Wednesday in the Green Hell! And now I'm going to try right away if the Audi uses the clutch pedal

No worries, always good to race with you Han

I can't blame anyone for the start of the 2nd race - started from the back in the 1st race 'cos with the clutch not working on this car if you only have paddles it's a disaster off the line - huge discrepancies with those using manual gears and those without. The engine 'pulses', when you engage 1st... if you're lucky you hit the high end of the pulse and you're away... I hit the low end of the turbo pulse, hence the sh!t start. Steen got a great start, the two of you collided and hit me - I think I used the 'F' word, due to having to do a 3 point turn ffs

Look on the bright side, the clutch works on the Audi for the Weds Nurburgring event

Congrats to the podium chappies, huge thanks to @Craig Dunkley for putting it on.... but f*** me, after this I'm looking forward to Wednesday

I used the pulse method in the second race and got a flyer John.

Must give @HF2000 a big well done in the first race, fantastic overtake on me, i remember thinking I’m alright here no need to defend, suddenly Han’s fly’s by, controls the car perfectly and neatly blast it out of the corner leaving me for dust.

Thankyou @Craig Dunkley for the event, still amazed at the pace of the front runners, it was a pleasure being in the same race.

I'll work on the pulse shot Ernie, I'm sure the wife.... never mind

My first race was good. I started and finished on 7 and as long as I was above @Medilloni I am good

Regarding the pulses and no pulses, I was practicing launches when going out of pits. And what I saw was that if I press progressively and hold it in the red, the turbo stays active so you can launch. Used this and took 2 position until the first corner. Too bad that I've hit someone and had to wait (d*** curb) in the second race.

Did anyone have any performance issues? I had terrible frame stuttering in both races - with the addition of broken audio in the second. My GTX 1080ti was running @ 20-25%, effectively throttled by my AMD R5 3600 cpu (new-ish system) . A veritable VR puke-fest.
