Looking on the FTP now, you sent them to the wrong directory by choosing Race #0 in the file submit tool.

David Dominguez · Oct 26, 2011

Every driver should check always if the files arrived, and as you can see, nothing arrived.

Eduard Mallorquí · Oct 26, 2011

Mission accomplished!!! Now we have to go for the Teams Championship!!!

Ben Tusting · Oct 26, 2011

so that's it then? nothings going to be changed?

Raino Rõõm · Oct 26, 2011

just one note, if someone tries to avoid collision or sth then dont take it as a cut.

Ivar Kalamees · Oct 26, 2011

Gratz Eduard

Mark Aalberts · Oct 26, 2011

Ahhh now i wished i didnt gave away so much time in the final ten laps looool

Petar Brljak · Oct 26, 2011

Ah come onnn... 12% XD

Congrats Edu

Rob van Starkenburg · Oct 26, 2011

@ Eduard, Congratulations!

@ Mark, at the same time im happy you did

....

Hellyea first podium! I was very supprised with the 4th place in the race itself but now im even more happy.

Chris Knight · Oct 26, 2011

woo top 10 for me no pre quali if required next race haha. only took all season

Mo Selvarajah · Oct 26, 2011

This proves that this track was an utter joke, and why didn't FSR put some deterrents up around the areas most likely to cut then?
i thought the rule was at least 2 wheels on the kerb at all times, even if the kerb is outside the white line.

anyway, the fact that us top 3 were either DQ'd or given 30 second time penalties is just silly - yeh rules are rules, but we were always going to be pushing the limits of the track, and in Real F1 there are acceptable areas where you can cut/run wide

So are you going to help FSR next year testing/fixing tracks?

Chris Knight · Oct 26, 2011

there was nothing wrong with the track.. what would you rather stupid sticky gravel and probably blow engine. it looks like a few people tried to take advantage of easily cut corners and got caught out..

Mark Aalberts · Oct 27, 2011

last year i got caught to its youre own responsibility to drive within the track limits its as simple as it is xD. And yes i agree this track is a complete joke just as a few more of the new era tracks they are building these days, i guess we can add India to the list as well xD
