I'll be doing some driving at the back Never driven these beasts before, so need some experience

 

[Jason Lancett]

well what a disaster some poor driving standarda at the start.. lets all get round the first corner safely next time lol..

 

[Axel Moebius]

Damn!!! Bad timing. My printer program felt that is was now, (in the middle of a race in rF2, driving F2, I was in the lead ) it would ask me if I perhaps wanted to look at some updates I can asure you it will not do that again
Anyway, fun as allways. The few laps I managed Restart? just kidding.

Hope I didn´t ruin your race Dino.

 

[Jan Wikström]

Short race

Qualified in 4'th

Start was OK but not perfect but then at T1 Lars B run into my rear and sent me off track.
Then at T6 (the hard right hander) some cars in front spun and I nearly managed to stop but when my car touched the other car I was sent some 10m up in the air (what strange physics ..) and landed up side down on the escape road.
When my car was turned again I had a stop and go for cutting.....
Stopped at once and clered the penalty but when I rejoined I got another one....
Cleared the 2'nd stop and go and rejoined, and got a 3'd one (and NO I was not speeding)
Didn't bother to try one more time so I quit.

Fun cars and fun track but still, after not racing for 6 month, to much bugs in RF2

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Too bad Jan and Axel you guys had such misfortune.

I qualified as 10th and had a decent start. In the first corner I was sandwiched, but luckily I had no damage and could continue. At the end of lap 2 I was running 5th than I did my "spin your car around a lot" lap which dropped me back to 12th. Kept driving my laps and passed one after the other, not really on speed, but with keeping it on the road.
At the last lap, last time on the straight I passes Bruno who tried to bump me, but I kept my line and finished 2/100 second in front of him as 5th.

Fun event, next week the grip levels should be better and the temperatures will be up at Malaysia.

Happy New Year!!!!!​

​

guys and hope to see you all again next year!!!!​

 

[Dino Paolini]

Nah, I was still about 2 seconds behind you when you slowly rolled into the grass .
I was looking forward to the rest of the race with you,I hope you will join again for the next races to continue our skirmishes

q: Slipped around too much on the first half of the lap and resulted in a not so great flying lap

r: A bit of chaos at the start with someone shooting (or getting shot) to my inside, but we just touched a bit and the car had no damage from that.
Afterwards I tried to follow Axel, but it was very hard and I could not really close the ~2 sec gap until he had his ctd problem ;(
For the rest of the race I tried to stay in front of Slawomir who was also very fast today

q: 3rd / r: 1st

Not an easy combination today, it mosly felt more like manouvering a boat through a slalom-parcour

 

[Matt Horst]

I really enjoyed today's race.Very glad to see more cars on the grid this time and hope this trend continues.I qualified P6 and got a great start witch was good or i would have been caught up more-so than the little contact i had with a spinning car in the first corner.I was in third place after the first corner and had Dino in view not to far ahead so i hammered down to try to catch or at least stay with him but another mishap in T6 and i lost several positions.Spent the rest of the race driving as hard as i could trying to catch the front runners with some good close racing along the way but could not close up before time ran out so i got i good 4th place finish.​

Happy New Year ​

May your fortunes increase and your lap times decrease in the new year.​

 

[Michael Brown]

I set a personal best on my quali lap, although I took it easy in the last two corners.

At the first corner, the driver in front braked very early and I collided with him, spinning me around and sending me to the back. I had minor damage, so I didn't need to stop.

For the rest of the race I focused on doing consistent laps, but I lost positions and eventually got lapped because I kept spinning in the last sector. The car felt good but there was still performance I could get out of it.

 

[Lars Brugman]

Short race

Qualified in 4'th

Start was OK but not perfect but then at T1 Lars B run into my rear and sent me off track.

I'm very sorry for that I honestly didn't see you untill I was 20 cm from you back and I couldn't avoid you. Sorry again

 

[Craig Booth]

Sorry I couldn't make it, internet is down for a few days. What kind of laps times were the aliens getting?
