Guess what? crash in turn 1, for the thousand time or whatever....
Oh well...
Thanks for the fun, anyway.

@Pietro Belloni : Don't drink too much for Christmas mate.

<Mod edit: See post below>

After recovering from that I found out I went from a decent ~16th to 21st. No matter, I continued to try and make time before eventually @Pietro Belloni, whom I had been defending from for a lap or two, smacked into the side of me on the final chicane. Upon looking at a replay, he locked up very heavily but I honestly think that could have easily been avoided. He was around a second behind me when I started braking, so that was a very late braking point on his behalf. I had to 'return to pits' because my suspension was so horribly damaged the car would not turn, so I was a full lap down from that point on.

Not the best of races to celebrate Christmas on.

I realise these races are fun but i think there was far too much chat during the race on TS. Maybe my age is getting to me but i find it hard to concentrate during a race when there is talk of gay porn etc going on in the background.

Nath

I agree. Just the sounds of someone's wheel, shifter, pedals etc. is annoying and distracting enough. I join TS as required but most of the time I have it muted.

 

[Pietro Belloni]

definitely my day no! My apologise at all you...
and Merry Christmas

We don't name and shame, however bad the situation was for you, if you have any issues please make a report to Akis or me. We will deal with the situation and place an appropriate race ban.

I wasn't looking for a race ban, more an explanation. But ok, I'll take you up on that.

Well it is better to report mate, this makes incidents like this less likely in the future, it really is encouraged to do so.

Hey Akis, i forgot to sign out (you signed me up with a maybe tag) in the X-mas stress - Sorry for that

 

[Remco Majoor]

blew my gearbox at the best moment ever. Just before the line XD

 

[Fabrizio]

What a shitrace it was for me! In lap 2 or 3 I got bashed so incredibly hard in the back i had to go to the pits and had to made my whole car! Being in pits for 3 laps! Back on track just drove about 3 laps when crashing it myself.. didn't had the courage and the patients to wait another 3 to 4 laps repairing my car.. PS, what a pace had the number 1! He's a freak

Same for me. I thought no way there'll be 6 dropouts before the race, so I went to bed.

No excuse though, and my sincerest apologies!

 

[Eugene van Loggerenberg]

Why are you not entering the race yourself?

I dont own AC, Sorry D !
