@Tomi You have won the random sweepstake as the Random generated number was '13' on the first shot. I finished 13th so I regenerated a number and it was '5'

Thanks again @Ricardo

These are the events everybody likes! Almost full grid

Pace was really high imho throughout the whole field

Messed up first race

Really sorry for the guy i pushed out in first round

I braked early but you were getting so slow I didn't expect that

So we both lost contact to the field and I could never catch up really...
But second race

Was even more careful in first laps and it was really worth it! Was following @Ricardo until he unfortunately left the track, but good pace man

Was happy to do a couple of laps in the low 1.40's and could almost do even better but always messed up then the second part of the lap

Guys, I am really stocked now

Want you in for friday...so be prepared to be tagged

(If you're fed up with my tagging please just tell me

)

At the end of the train in both races :/

8th in the first race, had a few offs but fun trying to catch Matheus. Bit of a mission impossible with him driving the Nissan.
Pole for race 2, could keep the lead until a slight mistake allowed @Tobias Röhner to slip past. Tried to hold on to second, but got pushed off the track by @SakL and dropped back even further. Running in 7th then, but once again Nissans ahead of me. No real chance to get past.

BTW! Also BIG congrats to @Arkadiusz Wawrzyniak !! First club race (wasn't it?) and AMAZING speed!

We (or at least me, cause i can't speak for others) want to see you more often!!

@Geof was getting bored anyway

No just joking! Up front everybody was really fast!

Herbie · Sep 30, 2015

@kedy89 was seeing you leaving the last S-chicane in the couple last laps but could not close the gap

Okay?

Congrats for all top finishers, infact for all finishers

It was nice to be in a race again... I seem to have a bad habit of destroying those fronts on that Merc just after few laps

I am still long way from learning how to keep that car in speed. And only thing I hate more than understeer is losing without a battle

So back to practise...
But in the end, great race guys... I'll be back

I think that I was the guy that you pushed me a little bit at the first round

. The guys in front of me were going very slowly as well (since it was the first lap) and I was afraid that I will push them, so I pressed the brake incorrectly and you had no other choice. I am really sorry.

At the 1st race I think I started at 10th position, and I had some drivers behind me, making me feel nervous being so close!

I run with medium tyres at the first race and it was quite slippery. I had a couple of exits also...

At the second race I started from the 2nd to last position, so without anxiety I decided to go slowly and to enjoy the empty road

. I also decided to turn TC on for more stability...

. That decision was great! I finally managed to finish at 8th position, which is not too bad

. After all, it was a nice relaxing race, without many incidents I think. I could have more fights on the road, if I had more self confidence. Well, I have not too many experience racing with many people in RD, so thank you all guys and see you on the road!

Still sorry 'cause I should have been over-cautious as well in first lap!

It's no shame to turn on TC imho! You had more fun with it and you could drive more safely

Much better than overestimating one self and crash all the time

I will keep you invited so that you'll hopefully see more races with more people

I always drive TC

Yeah, Factory setting whenever. If I can have some TC or ABS, it's always nice. Means I can focus on racing rather than driving without crashing.

Come on, don't be shy, you were quite fast tonight

And anyway you are a V.I.P

For me you are a very good driver! We are at the similar level I think!

Maybe you are a little bit faster than me, but not for long...

V.I.P Could be, fast maybe, but consistant? HELL NO

Well thanks for the compliments guys

Maybe if I practice more I could get off an extra second per lap and be top rank competative, but I got more to do besides simming.
