[Lu Chan]

wow,very long time race.......2 hours

Hello Tommi m8, I need sleep, now is very tired. :wave:

 

[Neil Tennant]

cancel that

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I am so pissed at my ISP. I was looking really forward to this event all week. Drove home especially to race this tonight. Starting the pc and the internet was totally bugged. Ive tried racing during practice of group 2 but when the sessions changed i got frozen up and couldnt re-enter the server. What a shame :censored:

Chuck Norris never has this kind of ISP problems for sure... because Chuck Norris kills problems

Congratulations for podiums Gary and Neil:clap2:
Using the Gumpert could I take pole with an 3.32.2xx,
Old Team FO SS together again at front row of the grid, very nice Neil m8:clap2:

I love LeMans, Its my absolute favourit of circuits.
using 1/1 in wings. but it only gaved 317 km/h as highest speed,
For the race had I 1/3 in wings, Did an good start and could open up a gap to Neil before we went out on Mulsanne, arghhh so slow I felt when Neil catched me up and passed, then he made an mistace and had two wheels outside track just before the corner, so I was just ahead when started to brake, in my mirror I also can se an optimistic Lister driver who start brake atleast 50 metres to late, so I had to wait before I turned in, just so he could go on my inside into the barriers:nono: Then after first time at Mulsanne could I pulled up an gap enough to not get slipstreamed anymore this night, I just pushed all I had until the scheduled stop at 17th lap, had started with 160 litres and now did I need 138 for the remaining laps, but I forgot about the difference compared to GTR2, so I filled it up to 160 again, Had an gap of 1 minute down to Gary now, So I started practise to drive smooth, and damn so hard that is, Had two severe mistaces where race could have ended.
All I passed made an top job, Thank for that guys:wave:
Hope to c ya soon on track again

It was a very nice enjoyable event that left me shattered especially after the 80 minutes of mini mayhem the night before, but the smell of deep heat and the long straights where i could grab my brandy flask kept me going :dance:

It was nice to get a front row spot alongside my Team Swesco team mate as it has been a while since we raced together so it was going to be a good night whatever. Tried hard to match his pole time but the Saleen just does not ride the curbs as well as some other cars so the last section i bottled it to often but was still very happy with a PB of 3:33.558.

Started with a low wing setting of 1 front 2 rear so i knew i was going to be quick on the straight and this was so when i got into the slipstream of Rickard on lap 1 but i had let him get too far in front and by the time i got in front the corner came too quick and Rickard was behind me but in my blind spot so rather than clip his nose and knock us both out i took the corner wide but just too wide for the speed i was carrying and clipped the grass loosing the spot i had just taken. All this time Yves had been getting sucked along faster than he had ever been before and he left it just a bit too late for the speed he was carrying and outbraked himself into the run off.

Rickard had the last section nailed and made up 1.5 seconds on me there every lap so i could only watch him get further and further in front and i had to settle for a nice scrap with Sam and it was funny to see him getting sucked along on the straights only to slow down and fall behind when he tried to pull out and pass :wave: but him and Gary both got past when the Saleen and myself met our match when i spun after bouncing off a curb later on :embarassed:.

Second stint went much the same was catching Gary some 2 secs a lap at times but kept making mistakes one of which i nearly rammed him off the road when he was slower in a corner than i expected him to be so i spun again trying to avoiding him, managed to get the gap closed down again but lost a lot of time when a back marker trying to do the right thing slowed right down so i had to do the same and as the race went on and the tyres got worn i found myself struggling to close the gap and had to settle for 3rd.

But a very nice race and thanks to all who raced and congrats to all who finished :clap2::clap2::clap2:

 

[Dietmar]

Sorry guys, didn't make it on time

 

[Gary Lennon]

Yea same here,the old BST/GMT/CET/PST/PMT/BBC/ Whatever.....i will never understand timezone malarky,roll on end of BST and we actually become GMT again,no more,no less .

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Terribly sorry my friends, I only discovered after Qualy that I had joined as my old identity, holdenss06. Me being forgetful again. :tsk: Had to slip out in order to avoid confusion. Sorry, and hope I can have a good race next time.

Rhys

 

[Chris Rodgers]

Cheers guys, that was fun

Haven't driven the '87s before, but I know the track almost too well, so I'll take a 6th in the first race gladly. Gotta learn how to get these things off the line though - bogged down both times and lost at least 5 places each time ... well done everyone for avoiding me!

Had some intermittent stuttering in race 2 - quite hard to corner when your screen freezes for a dozen or so frames unexpectedly :O Eventually that caused me to stuff it into a tire wall while running 7th (but about to be reeled in by a faster alfa) around lap 8ish. Can't complain though, was good to play Evo again after having barely touched it since I bought it...looking forward to more next week

 

[Ian Beech]

Great fun all love the 87 cars

Grant Powell great fun racing you tonight mate, and if we did touch is was part of the racing mate so np with me

Thanks all

 

[Marcel vd Aa]

Thank you guys for a nice and clean race.

Qualy went rather well, took 7th place (not sure could be 6th also).

Race1
Had a great start, managed to get third place around the second corner.
But then i got hit in the rear by Karoly, guess he had some problems because he said he was racing alone.
Did miss my breakingpoint though, and third place.
The rest of the race i was cruizin' with Warren ever present in my mirror.
Finished 4th. eace:

Race 2
Was a little bit worse than race 1, spun out somewhere and was 15th.
After a few laps people started dropping out and finished 12th.

Was a great event, hope there will be another WTCC87 event soon.

Thnx to Cam & RD for setting it up

 

[Karoly Kajdy]

here is the replay file of my 1st race
http://www.mainstream.tvn.hu/fileok/Barcelona Grand Prix_081019_1203_Race1.Vcr
I was totaly alone. Somebody told me in the ingame chat, I pushed him out of the track and I didn't say sorry. I coudn't see/feel nothing about where are the others.
Really sorry mate.
2nd race was much better. Started from 7th postition. I've some battle done, finished 2nd.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Another great event with these wonderful WTCC 87 cars. I just love driving this little BMW E30.

Qualy was looking normal with me sitting most of the time around P8 until I decided to reduce the fuel and go for one last push. Wow, made a PB of 1.52.1 for P3.

Race 1: Did my usual and bogged it down at the start and immediately watched about 8 cars go flying past. Thanks to a couple of spins in front, I worked up tp P5 and spent the main part of the race stuck nicely between Marcel in front and Chris behind. Last lap Marcel started sliding a bit and the three of us ended up very close. Finished P5 and happy.

Race 2: This time I got the start right and jumped tp P3 and held that for a few laps but then Karoly and Ben rounded me up as I made some small mistakes. Last couple of laps were very intense as Michael S was trying to find a way past. It was great stuff but unfortunately, last lap Michael S tapped me and I spun off. He did the right thing and waited to let me regain my place (thanks Michael), but it nearly resulted in him losing another spot as the field closed on us. Very happy with another P5 though.

Thanks to all who raced, another good turnout, and special thanks to Cam for organising these events. I like all the variety we are getting, very interesting. :yo:
