Well I made it back in time but after driving for 3 hours, the thought of jumping into another seat for 2 hours has no appeal....have fun.

Martin Leyfield · Aug 17, 2012

Hi. Please sign me out due to gaming addiction and going cold turkey. All being well I will be back for retro in a few weeks when I have caught up with myself and can keep a handle on simrcing and simracing video production.

Tim Popplewell · Aug 17, 2012

Great, lost connection on lap 3.

Kjell Eilertsen · Aug 17, 2012

Why on earth does this have only 1 signup while the Mini event had 26??? Does not compute!

Guys thanks for a lovely event I had a great time.And to you to Chris for track selection it was awsome.

SOLO59 · Aug 17, 2012

This race was really fun. For my first race, I think I did ok. Good clean racing with these mini's.Thank you guys for a great race, and congrats to the podium finisher's.

Alen Liivamägi · Aug 17, 2012

Another great race all. Was my first proper race length wise, great battle with Namgung Joong-Ki! At lap 32 lost concentration and spun off, Wayne Hammond I think clipped me (hope you didn't damage your car mate) and I got suspension problems after that. Since it was my first race with actually pitting I thought my team could repair the problem then & there

I was wrong. Ended at way back 2nd to last. Since I tried to get my suspension fixed and couldn't I thought hell with it and slapped on some new rubber (2nd time). Only to find out I was getting in the way of the top guys @ the track. Si Jebson, I hope I didn't do anything wrong, I could see your grip was gone by the end and letting me through was probably the best thing to do (I still had one guy behind me so I had to keep pushing)

Overall amazing race guys! Was great fun even tho I didn't do so good.
Thank you & race you soon!

Marian Zelenka · Aug 17, 2012

I love this track, but don't know how to drive faster here. The same story like when we drove here a few months back on the Race On version. It must be my driving style. Setup tweaking didn't help me a bit. And it still felt like I was pushing like a mad.

It was fun with a few tense moments when I lost my concentration while reading XD.

Two pit stop strategy didn't paid off, Bob? But you were still faster than I thought you would be with this strategy.

Si Jebson · Aug 17, 2012

@Alen Liivamägi, no you didnt do anything wrong, my tires were totally gone, and had to drive the whole race with no ffb (fecking wheel). So thought it best to let you unlap yourself and manage the gap back to 5th.

Enjoyable race, grats to top 3

Namgung Joong-Ki · Aug 17, 2012

Great fun. Good work Alen!
Favourite event format so far on RaceDepartment.com.
I was lucky enough to get Christian Horner as my Team Principal for this race only.
Came free with a happy meal.

This one's for you, Lovely Alen..

Dennis Phelan · Aug 17, 2012

My first club race in a while, I just haven't been behind the wheel!
After putting in about 50 laps in the morning I came back to offf'y practice and found a bit more speed. It never really helps, I'm terminally slow!
Good times on TS!
I worked my butt off to keep Dean Solomon behind me during my second stint, one mistake and my spot would have been his. Good chase Dean!

Kjell Eilertsen · Aug 17, 2012

Are people running default setups on these babies? (mainly the vette)
I love the way the vette drives at default, very very fun to drive but it doesn't feel very fast and I'm easily faster with the BMW. Sadly I know nothing about setting up a car so I cba even trying.

Jorge Alves · Aug 17, 2012

Excellent track

... hope to see more races on it!

Arrived from the beach just on time to take a shower and join the qualify 10m before the end .... good fights on the first 10 laps with Dennis and Chris ... i like so much Okayama that i enjoyed doing the the rest of race alone

Thanks for the clean & fair driving!

I allways race with the default setups ... never learned to do it ... and i allways choose the car that feels more fun to drive no matter how slow i am with it (who cares?)

... as long as i enjoy the ride

Im glad you enjoyed it mate, but Sened deservs the credit for this one, he set it up!

Von Butters · Aug 17, 2012

Sorry for my sudden disapearence. I got massive pains in the left side of my lumbar area where the metal in there has worked out the most, so i had to just up and leave.

Up untill then, i had an amazing time,
Quali was propper pants, 2nd or 3rd from last, but the start i had made up for it.
I dont know why, but im getting amazing starts lately, usually making up 4 or 5 places off the grid and more by the first corner. Unfortionatly, on the 5(?)th corner, just after the first timing beam, i got tapped by someone and it threw me into the gravel. From then on i spent much of the time playing catch up, or playing dodge with my own mistakes.

Im glad so many turned up, those who didnt will be getting a stern look, lol, it seems like tonight was a hit.
All thanks go to Sened for this one though.

Untill next time...
