The races tonight were very enjoyable.

In race 1 I managed to dodge a few early incidents and had a great chase on Michael H's rear bumper for a few laps until he went wide into the gravel, letting me past. I was glad I could put some nice "in your mirror" pressure on Michael without any braking incidents, so this was good, clean, racing. On the last lap, a fast charging Ben Tusting rounded me up when I ran wide in a corner and I finished 4th (luckily, because of some of the stop/go's).

2nd race was a bit more ragged for me. I outbraked myself chasing Takuya early on, with some good pressure from Warren behind me, and ended up in the red gravel, dropping a few spots. Shortly after that, I spun on a curb and hit the wall, losing my splitter and getting suspension problems. I was able to keep the car going OK, but it was suffering in the slower corners. Eventually Jerome and Michael caught me and I finished 9th or 10th.

One thing: in qual, if you're on your outlap, don't race someone who's on a hotlap! Are flag rules turned on on the server? Should there be blue flags in qual?

Yes full flag rules enabled

Well we have a saying in Aussie land "Arse beats class everytime", and I think I proved it tonight.
I didn't even look at the track lights, just went by the pop up lights. Maybe my slow reaction helped but I had no problems with the start, although I saw James, beside me, jump it.

Race 1. I got away cleanly and for once avoided any incidents in the first few turns to settle into P5 and then moved to P4. I was concentrating like hell to keep the car clean and smooth, having a terrific battle with David, until about lap 7, then I looked at the HUD and noticed that I was leading, and this battle was for the win. :eek: With about 2 laps to go, David missed a corner and I was able to comfortably bring the Honda home for a flukey win. Since the top guys blew the start, I suppose I didn't really deserve it.

Race 2. Much tougher task this time, starting from P8 and the guys in front knew not to jump the lights. I found it hard to pass on this track, but thanks to a couple of missed bends up front, I gained a couple of spots. Then had a great race with James until I botched the first turn, which cost me two places as Takuya slipped past as well. Had another great battle with Takuya until the second last last lap when I applied as much pressure as I could knowing he had missed the sharp right hander before. He left his braking a touch too late, went wide and slightly off track, allowing me to slip through and finish P4.
I think I owe Michael an apology for a slight touch at turn 1 that may have upset his balance. Sorry mate, I was trying to give as much room as I could, but you were pushed slightly into me.

Grats to Manny for the win in Race 2.

And whattya know, we had an Aussie 1 and 2 for the event, as I finished one point ahead of Manny. As I said, luck beats skill everytime. :evil:

Thanks to all who raced, but a shame to see people struggling to stay connected. Seems like a few had connection difficulties.

I think we'll try a default track for next week to see if it helps.

Yep, I ran into the exact same issue, I was on my fastest hotlap in Qualy, came up to a Vectra cruising the track which stayed right on the driving line forcing me to abort the lap with a couple of turns to go.

 

[Michael Herrmann]

dont worry warren that happens and i was realy carfull at the firs tturn cuz of my setup is hell slippery with cold tyers

 

[Jerome Benard]

Bad start for me at the first race ==> Penalty.

I make a first Pit and it doesn't work and i make a second and it work. I finish last i think.

Second race i make a good battle with the "Doc" ( merci l'ami) :thumb: and i came back at the 6 or 7 place.




Thanks all

Also another thing guys we only get 30mins to qualify, don’t fill the top of our displays with meaningless rant, or in the case tonight accusing drivers of cutting, of course everyone is going to lose concentration reading that, as you think you are being accused, please leave that for PM to admin shouldn’t be typed in chat in Qualify or in the forums, just bang Warren a PM after the race.

My race was a non event, I seemed to lose connection to the server after about 5 laps of race 1 and my internet connection didn’t drop?? weird I just ended up in the lobby. Sorry to Imperious I think it was for the tap, I know it’s never an excuse but I wasn’t expecting you to brake where did and throughout all the anchors but couldn’t pull her up.

I was going terrible in Qualify which I expected, as I had only done a total of 3 laps prior to tonight at Melbourne, which is a track I hate naturally being from Adelaide and all :evil: but after the chat fest didn’t dissipate I decided to park it and wait for the race. I seemed to be not too badly paced for the race and I recon the way I was driving in regards to tyre care, I think I may have been able to hunt a couple of places towards the end as I was already getting some guys insight that dissapeared at the start, but its easy to say that when your night ends early

[Bram Hengeveld]

By far one of the best races i had in the racing club personally. Great racing with the L&L train (lemon and lennon) and Barriga. Great rough battle with MH. Great track that Magny Cours National. Also the oval in Brasil was fun.
