[Wido Rossen]

I've look at the video and saw you turn into Oliver Amos' car and saw Wido Rossen turn into Valentijn Scholtens car.QUOTE]


It looks like your wright Lucas.
But he or i did not spin and whe where in the same place as before whe enterd the corner.
Sometimes the picture looks like you hit someone, and actualy youre with you nose inside the others car but nothing happends...( bug?)

 

[Antoine Morin]

Whooo!

Well , I finished the 2 races...that was my prior goal , like every time in fact

the race 2 start was incredible , i was really scared when i saw the cars Flying away :scared: , i pass them and just say OMG! it was so realistic for me :thumb:

The overall results for me are not so good, i'm in the middle of the racers, i wish i could do better, but i missed some races ...too much for being in the 20 packet. My goal will be that for the next League !

See you next guys ! :wave:

Oh and BTW ...Thanks to The good RD administration. It was Perfect Guys !

 

[Antoine Morin]

O yea, glad to be in Group 2...
everyone got off just very cleanly and perfectly!

Yes but we have a crash too at race 2.

 

[Jacco Cornelissen]

Weldone RD for making this WTCC.
I enjoyed it very much

 

[Gaëtan Legastelois]

Hello, sorry for my start in race 1, i've big problem to engage the first gear (many lag??), after whith this lag difficult to break (i don't want create accident) but is very difficult to drive and crash my car alone.

For second race big accident.
With beautifull flying dance and pass a little close for me. But a make a little mistake and break my suspension after it's very difficult staying in line when i breaking.

 

[Rich Tranter]

sorry mate, same problem here, got caught up in that pile and with suspension a wee bit off I knocked into you. Just saw the replay.

I wasn;t expecting a clean race here anyway. Just happy to finish to be honest.

I did have hopes of making the top 10 though if I was lucky. Just not my day.

[Movie] Champion RD 08 Wtcc - Rami Kaukola

Hi all,

[Jacco Cornelissen]

Great Movie
Tribute to our CHAMP.

 

[Theo de Bruin]

Hehe, was a pretty nice crash! Ending the League with a bang. Allready looking forward to some nice movies.
Even if it was a big crash I think most people managed to continue anyway?

 

[Alex Guehennec]

cool video

 

[Paul Bordeau]

grats rami and RD thanks a lots !!

 

[Theo de Bruin]

Wow, Rami didn't even win a race? Shows how competitive racing was. Great movie for a great champion!! :thumb:

 

[Jose Ferreira]

Vincent, is ok now, I am ok too.
If I know that you will not slow down the speed of your car, I will,,, but I did not expect that you will cross the line, so I speed up I really din't expect that you will really pass me on that corner,if this race was a race in public server I already have slowed down,because of the rules that we have here so I continued my speed,,, but is ok no problem,now just wait for next year, cos I am from Macau too.

Jojo

 

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

Grats Rami well done!!!

 

[Christopher Aponte]

Macau always brings the ending with a bang
last year was the same thing

 

[Oliver Wickens]

At the start of the week I have to admit I was not optimistic about my chances of a good result at Macau, simply because I had limited experience of the circuit which is a crucial ingredient to being quick around street tracks. However, during the week in Pre-Qualification I got a good feel for the circuit and felt I could find the limit on nearly every corner (except last two).

As race night began with Qualifying I was able to post a decent time but sadly I struggled to hook the perfect lap up which meant I qualified 5th . The last sector was costing me big time to those in front. was v. frustrating!

Race 1 as a whole was quite simple, a poor start cost me a position down the main straight but an incident into turn 2 allowed me to move up to 3rd behind Henrik and Marcin. Together we pulled a gap to the rest of the field, I tried to get close enough to Marcin to make a pass but the car balance was pretty bad in the last few laps so had to settle for third.

Race 2 starting 6th, due to reverse grids, was far more interesting. Another poor start saw me drop to 9th behind my new simracing team mate Andreas. Going into turn2 I think I had more confidence on cold tires; so was able to outbrake him for 8th. From there I just concentrated on picking people off one by one which was a lot of fun but also pretty tough as it is easy to clip the guy in front. Eventually finished 3rd once again.

It has been a good season for me. The highlights were winning at Brands Hatch and also Anderstorp. Looking at my results at the start of the season, I think my performance has improved during the year and I believe it will continue to improve. Sadly I couldn’t attend every race this year so finishing 11th in the championship was the best I could achieve.


Congrats to Rami for the championship, and (grudgingly) to HH for the double win.

Also respect to the organisers!

Ollie W.
