awesome race. had a nice fight with brett!

Yes mate...was a battle and a half

.
I slowed right down for someone at the beginning of the race due to a tap even though it was not my fault but all in all was a great race. Look forward to the next one

You dirty cheater, removing all Quali times just to claim pole position

Tommi Saari · Jan 5, 2015

No worries @Lionel Gamet , unfortunately you retired and I finished where I was going to finish anyways

RACE RESULTS

The Qualifying results appear to be wrong. Apart from that, what a horrid race for me...all the way since the green lights

@Ramon Salles sorry for hitting you at the Maggots on lap 1, but I really didn't expect you to brake there and didn't react fast enough to avoid you.

@Marc Brockmeyer well done! I wish we had a chance to fight...maybe next time.

p.s. Sorry to all for me being so slow on the exit at T4 I was trying not to hit someone (luckily, that was the case)...this silly penalty system really needs to go!

Si · Jan 5, 2015

god know's why the qualli results got screwed up! sorry about that. twas a very good race and gr8 battle for pole, at least the Race results worked!

I'm looking forward to the next event, maybe on the Hungaroring?

Hungaroring looks a little unfinished to me, no replay cams either.

Roni · Jan 5, 2015

Ricardo Umans Yes great battle again. This time you were so much faster that I need take a defensive lines couple of times

Thanks for tips, I need much more practice with this track. I was so hurry to practice, about hour before event, that i forget to check where is pit entry

. In last laps I search it for three laps. First I think I try to go national pit and hit a Wall, then I found correct pit, but pit limiter hit so hard that I spin, third try went allmost ok

Hockenheim is pretty good and works in MP. I am not sure how legit it is though, since it's not uploaded here.
If not that, maybe Brands Hatch?

We can also always race at the Kunos tracks

Fabrizio · Jan 6, 2015

Hockenheim, BrandsHatch, Nordschleife.... bring it on!! I just love the DTM's!

Marc · Jan 6, 2015

First of all, thanks @Lionel Gamet for sharing your Setup. Brought me half a second right before Practise cause i put up Wings to max. and soften overall suspension. Quali was great, too bad we couldn`t do this for 20 Laps guys! Have watched the replay several times as i thought i maybe had something to do with the incidents in T3/4 L1 but as it looked i was far away from everyone?! Anyway, i`m sorry if i forced anyone into trouble, made a little mistake on brakes to T3. @Krisztián Tóth chased me first couple laps, was a bit nervous as the leader so i needed some laps to get in the flow. From that point on is was just about keep the gap and save tyres. Went in for Hards in Lap 9 to go save until the end. Thanks and see ya soon...

That pitlimiter also spun me

I did not practice in this combination but I have driven the track a few times with GT3 cars, and the T5's with their current GT3 tyres have very alike griplevels so I knew how to do most corners pretty well which helped me quite a bit.
Untill next battle then?

@Marc Brockmeyer What tyre strategy did you use when you said you had to save tyres? Soft start? My mediums easily lasted 16+ laps.

Peter Hartz · Jan 6, 2015

i really do have to say this was one of the best races ever. i was busy with fighting someone for about 15 of those 20 laps. i only had 5 laps where i was "alone" but that was due to my mistakes on corner 3. (that stupid penalty if you miss your breakingpoint

) must have cost me at least 30sec in total.

hope we can a have a dtm race every week (or more). so in love with this

Marc · Jan 6, 2015

@Ricardo Umans normal 15 Med + 5 Soft, but i had a good gap to 2nd so i decided to take hards for any reason to go save until the end.

Andrew Harper · Jan 6, 2015

Just looked at the results! Oh damn my slow PC, when I was practicing for this event I would have been right on leading pace, damn damn damn! haha. Sounds like you all had a fun time though, will try and join you for the next one (when the spending budget allows!)
