RD MINI Challenge 2012

[Tamás Fóth]

Reversed grid is only the caricature of racing. Crashing cars everywhere, cars overtaking on the grass.... The insanely good first race just gives a bigger contrast to it, thx: Nik, Lars, Vinicius, Andy, great racing!

 

[Jari Vinnari]

Thank you for the league Bram , Liam, James, RD and all the drivers.

 

[Lucas Degen]

That was it for me. Like to thank you all for racing.
Thanks Bram Hengeveld for doing cams.

See you all next season.

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

I will do a longer post later, but thanks a lot to Bram, RaceDepartment and Simrace.tv for a whole season of awesome

 

[Dinca Andrei]

End of the season already and i just learned the car.....

Congrats!!!!!

 

[Nik Hughes]

Will also do a longer post, but for now a quick thank you to Bram, James, Liam and everyone involved. It's been a great championship, and I'd especially like to thank the faster drivers that chose not to show up at every round so I could take 3rd

Mixed couple of races. First one was a great defensive scrap, second one made me feel like maybe I know how residents of the Gaza strip are feeling right now. Needless to say, the Israel in question will be getting reported.

Very tight finish to the season and what a track to end it on. Well I'm off to training hope that helps. See you all in the future

The broadcast is up! (I think)

 

[Michael Braeutigam]

ending up 3rd in both races makes me happy Thanks especially for the fights in race 1 with Dan and Jimi, looking forward to the broadcast

maybe race 1 would have gone another way for me if I had the full qualifying time. I knew I could get the pole, but on a flying lap somebody in front of me suddenly stepped on his brakes ON THE RACING LINE o.O crash and out - and I didn't know whether I'm allowed to rejoin after ESCing or not. So I stayed in the pits and had to watch Jimi and Dan go by in the process

anyway, as I said: great racing today, a bit messy in race 2, but today I was on the lucky side

A big Thank >ou to all the drivers, admins, the stream (dream) team and also Reize Studios for this great sim. Hope to see you in S7!

Just about to sit down and enjoy the broadcast, just a quick few words from me for now, race report (and season highlights video) to come...

Big thanks to Dan, Michael and Jordi for an awesome battle in qualifying and Race 1, I felt quick at the start but whether it was nerves or tyre wear something caused my pace to drop off. Just managed to cling on for win number 4 this season! Chuffed with the result. Race 2, the less said the better, very harsh drive through, but I guess the final race needed 1 more twist!

Huuuuuge thanks to Bram Hengeveld for all his hard work in making the league and the broadcast happen, great work with cameras and it is a shame we couldn't get you on the grid as I know you would have been a very strong contender. Also, big thanks to James and Liam for a whole season of very professional commentary, your work for sure added to the entertainment value of the racing.

Finally thanks to EVERYONE who saw the season through and for making RDMCC S6 such a joy to be a part of!

 

[Mark Gormley]

Does anyone have a copy of the replay files?

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

Oh, looks like I missed getting in the top 5 by just a few points. I'm happy with that, it's better than I expected.

I'm watching the broadcast now. No popcorn though

Edit: I'm done watching it. It's an amazing job as always.

How did I finish 7th?

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Thank you everyone to bring this Mini chalange to the finish! Big thanx to Bram, Liam and James for the awesome broadcasts. A really exitng to watch! And another big thanx to Bram for the great orginasation of this championship! Hopefully you will in the racing seat for the next time.

1st Race was awesome, I had great fun and clean battles with Dave and Ken. It was somewhere at the back, but it was so much fun. Thanx guys!

2nd race....... Faster guys pushing thru the field, passing over the grass, crashing in the back of you to make your car unstable , so they could pass..... I decided to retire as my fun of the first race was destroyed. The reversed grid maybe better taken out as it has to go like this. Maybe (if possible) only the top 8 of the first race in a reverse, like they do in GP2 for example.

Anyway, thanx everyone, see you on track again somewhere som time.
