PC decided to hang soon as R2 started, had to reboot. I just couldnt seem to get in any rythm once the race started, oh well. Pretty interesting opening laps, and i think i might have been able to hold off glenn, but i tried to push it too hard heading into the main straight on l10, touched the grass and next thing i know i've only got 3 wheels. Cant wait for next weeks race

 

[Dave Stephenson]

I got me a screen freeze aaagh.

gutted was running third in R1, stretching out from 4th and catching 2nd. Oh well, fate's a cruel mistress.

 

[Claudio Caferri]

This was a disaster for me...Sorry for the mess in R1 and reaaly sorry to Vincent..

 

[Eric Estes]

[Eric Nelson]

Well I have to say this was good and bad for me.

First time ever with screen freezes......3 times in Race 2 alone!

I found myself thinking that this is a glorified lapping session rather than a race event. Dunno maybe more guys on the grid would help out too.

My results were 5th and 6th and an overall of 5th. BUt after lap 1 I was never racing anyone and the closest guy behind was 1 or 2 laps down to me by lap 7.

BRutally fast cars but a bit light on the racing part tonight.

TC guys c ya soon!

The Nürburgring is a motorsport complex around the village of Nürburg, Germany. It features a modern Grand Prix race track built in 1984, and a much longer old North loop track which was built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. It is located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of Cologne, and 120 kilometres (75 mi) northwest of Frankfurt. The old track was nicknamed The Green Hell by Jackie Stewart and is widely considered the toughest, most dangerous and most demanding purpose-built racing circuit in the world. Originally, the track featured four track configurations: the 28.265 kilometres (17.563 miles) long Gesamtstrecke ("Whole Course"), which in turn consisted of the 22.810 km (14.173 mi) Nordschleife ("Northern Loop"), and the 7.747 km (4.814 mi) Südschleife ("Southern Loop"). There also was a 2.281 km (1.417 mi) warm-up loop called Zielschleife ("Finish Loop") or better known as Betonschleife, around the pit area. Between 1982 and 1983 the start-finish area was demolished to create a new GP-Strecke, and this is currently used for all major and international racing events. However, the shortened Nordschleife is still in use, for racing, testing and public access.

[Bob Luneski]

What great racing!!!!! More fun than I've had in a long time. My best RD club race result ever!!!! 3rd in both races. I'm just giddy

Grats to the race winners Will and Chris and a special thanks to Stefan for organizing. Race report to follow after I finish the celebratory drinking binge.

 

[Will Marquez]

Wow what a fun race tonight!

Q1 - P1 and I improved on my FPWS quali lap by .600.

Race 1 - P1 Got a great start off the line and was able to widen the margin and do consistent laps to the finish line.

Race 2 - Got a good start but there were some incidents in front so had to slam on the brakes to stop from running over Mr. Nelson. After coming up thru the field. Came up to Bob and had a good battle for a few laps. My pitcrew didn't factor in the slipstream on the main straight so I was topping out as I was starting to get a run. Didn't force the issue as there were times to make a pass on Bob but couldn't do it cleanly so waited and he went wide on one corner and was able to pass and try and track down race leader, Chris. Slowly but surely gained each lap until I was right on him. With 3 laps to go had a chance to setup the slipstream out of the final turn but spun and Chris was able to take the race win! And I finish P2. Great battle Chris and Bob. Nice clean racing.

Thanks to Stefan and RD for organizing this event!

Stefan, I know you guys want to stick with your German theme, but Nurby is 100x better track for those. I have done hundreds of laps testing tracks for our Formula Pro league and Hockenheim is just a stop and go fest... not that pleasant. Whereas Nurby is flowy like Interlagos or Silverstone.

 

[Dave Stephenson]

I'd have to agree with that Eric. Especially as these nights are newer to you guys I think it would benefit more people to run tracks that will develop a broader range of skills faster.

 

[Will Marquez]

Yeah Nurburgring is a perfect track combo with these cars. For those that enjoyed Interlagos, Nurby is fast, flowing and forgiving. Not to mention that there will be setups to help the new drivers that are trying out the mod for the first time and to get comfortable with them which will help everyone enjoy the race.

 

[Adam Richards]

Please add me

number 18 please

 

[Freddie Besems]

[Chris Vick]

A great day at the races for me!

Q1: Showed up late, and only got two runs in. I was well off my FPWS times, but qualified 3rd.

R1: A little slow off the line, and very cautious into turn 1. Came out in 5th or so, and then made the run down to turn 4. Was hit from behind on entry into 4, spinning me off track. No damage, but I had to wait for everyone to go by for a safe re-entry. Then I figured, "Oh well, Interlagos is just like that for me, but I'll just go for it!". I started running good consistent laps, and slowly worked my way up from 11th to 2nd. I had a nice battle for a few laps with Bob Luneski before he spun and handed me the spot. Thanks for the clean fight Bob!:wink: Then I was chasing the 2nd place car, and they spun on entry to turn 1, gifting me 2nd place. At that point I was over 30 sec back from Will, so I just took it easy and coasted home to 2nd place. My first podium in quite a while!

R2: Now I was used to starting at the back and working through, so this race was sweet! I had a good start, and passed a few folks in the 1-2-3 section as they lost grip, and went off line. I ran good consistent laps, steadily passing those in front. By lap 5 or so, I was up to 3rd, and closing fast when 1st and 2nd came together at turn 1. I dodged the spinning cars, and voila! I am in the lead! The next few laps I spent building a lead over Bob and Will who were dicing for 2nd and 3rd. After Will got by Bob, he started steadily chasing me down. He was about 0.5 sec faster per lap, and closed in on me with about 5 laps to go. I just stayed steady, and applied all the defensive driving techniques that Eric drilled into me. Will was all over me, and we were both holding very well. Will was really close coming onto the start finish straight for lap 17, and I lost a bit of grip and almost spun. I figured he'd pass me into turn 1 with such a good draft, and a higher turn exit speed, but then I saw him spin in the same place I almost lost it. Sorry Will, but what a relief!!! Now he was 6 sec down with only three laps left. I stayed focused and kept my pace up to collect my first win of 2010, and my first win in the F1 mod. Overall, tied with Will for 1st (we each had a 1st and a 2nd)! My best result in a very long time! After many races this spring spent struggling due to outside influences, my life has calmed down now, and I am driving much better! No stupid trips into the wall. No running into other cars. Just good consistent pace with careful overtaking, and good defense. I am thrilled!

Thanks to Will and Bob, and all the other racers for a great fight and a great event! Special thanks to Stefan for setting this all up! I'm looking forward to the next round!
