that was great
qualified on pole but spun in the first corner so right to the back then faught my way up to pass yves for the win in the last corner

then i woke up from my daydream
quallied 14th - miracle in itself -
race 1 - avoided startline chaos and turn 1 spinners only to get myself stuck in a ditch
then pitted for damage and got stuck in a ditch or had to pit every lap till my engine blew up

race 2 - shared the back row with james - it was a cool place to be - then pit limiter came on at the start as i pushed wrong button
went round turn 1 [yay] to find that james and Caramidaru had spun. then i hit a wall and flipped car they passed me and i flipped over the barrier - game over

 

[Anders Nilsson]

Was fun cars to drive it was my first racing experience in them . And that showed made a mistake during braking and a misjudgement of a gap destroying the race for Erling in race2 so sry .

But otherwise real fun

[Chris Butcher]

Brian, I want to apologise, I watched the replay and saw that I cut you up on the straight. I honestly didn't feel it in the car. Apologies again

my skin for tonight....................Jarrod will be al teary eyed.:wink:

 

[Robert Crone]

First race since round about two years I guess, it was a lot of fun!

Qualified as fourth, what was a miracle, as I've never really driven these cars and never driven that circuit;
the first race was really nice. Very good battles between position two to nine, really close driving and nice overtaking manoeuvres. I really liked my little battle with Ross aswell. Unfortunately I ran out of fuel with jus two laps to go - Oh well.

Second race was really nice aswell! I started ninth but fought myself up to fourth position; had a nice and clean battle again with for example Chris Butcher (not sure if I write your name correctly? ), but spun and disconnected - doesn't matter.

Nice first races and I saw it's still as friendly as it used to be
Looking forward to the next one!

 

[Yves Larose]

i'll be there as usual

[Ivo Simons]

And you had a Signature also. Always laughed when i read that.

 

[Ross Balfour]

What a great night racing!

Practise - 5th

Had 5th, then disconnected. So technically was last

Qually 4th/15th

Had 4th after my 1st lap. Then got a minidump, rejoined with 1:00minute left so had no time to set a lap, leaving me a lot of work.

Race One - 8th/DNF

Got a good start and had to avoid the spinning Erling and tapped Dave (really sorry mate!!!) Moved up to about 9th then had Chris Butcher, who like me didn't do a qually time and had the pace to battle up front. Ideally Chris would sit behind me and we would pull each other up to the leads, however he was quicker than me and got me up the inside of Turn 4 in a spectacular pass (Nice one!) I then ran wide and was behind Bob. I caught him and had a bit of lag and Bob spun in front of me (Dont know If I hit you or not, but on my screen I didn't. Sorry if I did) That bumped me into 8th when Yves pitted. Rob in front of me had a moment and I got passed him. We set about catching James, Chris, Anders and Caramidaru who were in awesome scrap for 3rd. We caught them and James and Chris made contact. Promoting me to 5th. Anders hit the wall and lost his splitter so I could go up to 4th and I started to gain on Caramidaru. But with 2 laps to go, I got the fuel warning and panicked. I had to severely save fuel. Chris and Anders got passed me. I ran out of fuel with 2 corners to go but had 8th as many others ran out.

Race Two - 1st

Reversed grid meant I had 1st at the start. Got a decent start but Michael got the whole shot and jumped me and Yves to 1st. He ran wide and I could sneak up the inside into Turn 2. I lead for a few laps then Yves jumped me. I short shifted and turned corners in a gear higher than I usually would but this made me so much faster than I had been before. I could stick within touching distance of Yves with a ever-closing gap back to Hugo in 3rd. Yves spun at turn one, handing me back the lead. I settled down until Hugo caught me with 6laps to go. He had an attempt around the outside of me once, but apart from that he just sat in my mirrors, lurking. I tried to ignore him as I would probably make an error but his FDR skin was right in my face when I looked back. Onto the last lap he was closer than ever and he had a go with 4 corners to go - the last realistic passing point. He gave me a small tap but that's racing and I kept it in the right direction. I held my nerve and took the win, but it was a great fight!! :trophy:

Thanks Ivo and RD!

 

[Eric Nelson]

LOL yeah thats right! good memory Ivo!

Movie quote: Check out the big brain on Brad!

Name it!

 

[Eric Nelson]

POst any custom skin links for tonights race! I'll try to get a link next to your name in the sign up list!

 

[Aaron Smart]

First race I actually finished here
Sorry I was braking too early in the practices, I didn't know the track very well and the lack of signs on most the turns made things even more challenging.

I ran out of fuel on Race 1 as well. I dunno what was going on, fuel consumption seemed to go up *a lot* during the race compared to warmups and qualifying - I was getting about 6.5 litres per lap before, but then 7.8 during the actual races (according to MotecAdd anyway). Any ideas?

Always good to have a nice battle

 

[Chris Butcher]

Sorry, Sign me out please. Forgot I had a Clio Cup event on rFactor, see you next time though

 

[Eric Nelson]

Ok, I think I can make this one. I'll be looking for a setup, though, as I haven't had much time to practice.

here ya go Glenn! one for the Saleen and the Vette

 

[Erling Bøhmer]

Sorry to all on start off race1

Dont know what happen but i used my H-shifter and put the gear into first. The only problem was no first gear when green then came on.
I then used a littel time to understad what was wrong. Off course hard for drivers in the back to spot that.

Race 2 was fun until the scandinavian take away .
No problem Anders Nilsson, nice to see you waited for me. Had to much damage, got back to pit and then fix the car in 37 sec.
changeing Tires, adding fuel and doing repair. Those Simbin pit crew are great.
