[Steve Crossland]

is there still time to join? I have the track

 

[TobiasR]

sorry @Tomi Manninen for almost running you off. My gearbox was in the yellow already and I shifted into neutral going down into the hairpin.

Need to work on my heel-toe shifts, because I always ruin this cars gearbox after 10-15 laps :S

 

[Fabrizio]

Got some bad internetconnection issues! See you next race guys.. sorry!

 

[Tomi]

@Tobias Röhner It wasn't even close. My gearbox just made it, it was soooo yellow

Tough race. Glad I finished with both engine and gearbox yellow
Gj Geoffroy, seems like the softs were a viable solution after all!!

 

[Tommi Saari]

I see nobody else pitted, there was no reason for it other than fill the tank with missing couple of liters. Quite a surprise pulling into the pit lane only to find that you have to drive into the box to pit...and in my case reverse out .

 

[Geof]

@Akis, indeed!
But I feel a bit guilty : I did 30 laps in practise with the soft one, so my choice was quite enlightened, and I didn't share... ow bad boy .

So I picked the soft tyres and the tyre wear was at 97% at the end, so everybody knows they last quite long.
Here is the setup I used.

See you next.

PS: I don't really like yellow... stay away from my car, damned.

I started 5th and after a great start i was 2nd on 2nd lap.

Then my PC froze completely (again, thought i had fixed that) on 1st corner.

I hope i didn't hit anyone.

 

[Turk]

I went with the softs too but I was way off the pace, I couldn't keep up and had a pretty lonely race.

 

[Marius Jonikas]

omg sorry i fell asleep watching a movie and didnt show up

 

[Sharjeel]

I was lapped a record 6 times. Hope I cut that down to 2 next time

 

[Mitja Bonca]

I stopped the car, since it was not fun to drive at all, had 6 sec advantage after 4 laps. And because of that, I wasn`t in the mod at all.

Ah I saw the replay and thought you crashed. Didn't see you on ts either.

I don't think it's nice to just dc so shortly after the race start. It's a race after all, anything can happen.

Great sportsmanship. Well done. Perhaps us backmarkers should just give up when you are lapping us?

 

[Stelios]

I actually think he crashed after watching a replay

 

[JackCY]

@JackCY What can you buy for that?

20+ great beers, or around 60 normal beers. That's 0.5L beers. Way more than I drink a year lol.
I've just been burned so much with AC so far, I would have to see that the quality of both organization and competition is worth it I bet organization is fine, no idea what pace the races or leagues have here though. I'm not looking to have another "easy top5", but to get seriously challenged. It would be great if there were statistics after a race/qual., that way anyone can compare and see the pace people do here usually in races

Well I am sure you will fit in just fine. I reckon you might get lapped a few times, never mind an easy top five.

 

[JackCY]

That would be fantastic MPJ. Are any of you on RSR?
