Hi, Andrew: sign me in for this one, please. Thanks.

 

[Stefan Werner]

Stefan when we will can download the skinpack?

I don't know. I forwarded everything to Eric and am waiting for him to update the post on page 1. He's a busy man, so please be patient.

 

[Lee Downham]

--> Dietmar ... I tested the cats before that event as I wanted to race but was not able to... and you will be glad to hear that the mini's are indeed far easier to handle down "that" final hill than the Cat's were (FWD versus RWD)- although lifting off the throttle tends to get the back end wanting to overtake the front :eek:
I did notice too that I could not keep the tyres warm, in the 5 or so laps that I did, the temps always tailed off to around 60-ish by the end of lap 1, and rarely did I make it round to lap 3

 

[Luis Lynce]

Hi, Bram:sign me up for this one, please. I´ll be there for sure. Thanks.

 

[Simon Trendell]

Hi, Simon: i´m writing to you, because i have a doubt about the hours of the event: i live in Lisbon, Portugal.Practice starts at 18h00 for sprint and 20h00 for feature practices. What time would be in Lisbon: UK plus 1 hour or CET plus 2 hours? Thanks a lot for the answer.

Portugal is in the same time zone as the UK I believe. So add 1 hour to the times, ideally you need to turn up at some point during practice 2. Practice 1 is just because I can't specify 18:30GMT as the start time in the thread title.

 

[Jarrod Keen]

Thanks Eric. This should be a fun one. Keith, you up for practice on this track? I'd like your advice. I've gotta find 2 seconds and I know where I'm losing it. I just can't seem to make it happen. I think my petal is broken and am currently considering getting the G25 OR a 2nd Logitec MOMO.

I would like to believe that it's my petals that are keeping me from driving that little bit faster but I'm not sure. After I'm done breaking, I usually like to "crack" the throttle (get back on the throttle just a little) for stability in a turn and apparently, these petals aren't allowing this because they don't even begin to register until I've depressed the throttle at least 1/3 of the way.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Reik Major]

Can you please sign me up as a high potential may be? :drool:

I'd like to talk about it with my GF after work to be sure i can make it! If she won't let me do it, i think about deinstalling her WoW! :smile-big:

 

[Luis Lynce]

Yves, have a nice day, and, please, sign me in for this one. " Practice makes perfection", eh, eh.

 

[Ries Notenboom]

I'll join in for this speedy fun

 

[ufunacaoenn]

:silly:
I know that but we might forgat to update if we will be live or not.

 

[Stefan Werner]

In my opinion, this cars are still the most fun out them all. Great on pretty much any track. Thanks Yves for putting this on.

Race 1: (6th)

After an OK start I got bumped from behind in T3 sending me left rear into barrier leaving me with suspension damage. On the bright side though, the barrier saved me from spinning and I was able to carry on with out losing any real ground. About half way around lap 1 or 2 I gave some one a little push from behind causing him to miss his breaking point and stop in the run off area that some of the corners had. I pulled over to the inside behind the corner and saw what look like Yves flying through the air into barried and all sorts of chaos ensued all around me. Now there were at least 4 or 5 BMW's sitting there waiting on each other. I was sure whom I had hit earlier, so I waited on everyone to start rolling again and rejoined the field all the way down in 21st. I was now pushing hard in the hopes of a possible top 10 finish. Had a lot of fun coming back up through the field and eventually finished in 6th, much to my surprise.

Race 2: (4th)

Started in from 3rd, but bogged it off the line quite badly and instantly lost 4 positions. This time all sorts of crazyness was happening all around me coming into T3 for the first time. I saw a massive crash behind me in my rear view and also someone had run straight on in front of me. By the time I had cleared T4, I was back in 4th and hunting down the front runners. I soon passed Ivo and Sebastian for 2nd. I did well to stay with Daniel on Lap 2, but Lap 3 was a very poor lap for me and I lost about 2 seconds to Daniel and Sebastian was back on my tail. Lap 4 and 5 saw me slowy eating away at Daniel's lead bringing it down from 2.5 to about 1.8 seconds. For some reason I kept down shifting way to hard into first coming into the sharp left hander leading onto the back straight. The rear broke out and I managed to straighten the car out just in time to go straight into the barrier. Doh! I was now without a front bumper and my lap times dropped from mid to low 1:49's to high 1:52's. Peter caught up to me soon after and I tried everything I could to defend my line. He clearly had the faster car and he eventually passed me between T2 and 3. I knew he would get me here as I could not carry a lot of speed through T1. Much like Rossi knew he had to stay in front of Stoner at Laguna last year, I knew my only chance was to come straight back. Unfortunately 2 wide into T3 just isn't gonna happen and Peter hit the barrier. I waited for Peter to rejoin and that was it. Once he was a head, there was no way for me to stay with him. It certainly was a fun battle though which lasted for a good 6 laps or so. I eventually finished in 4th, which was decent considering the damage to my car. I really felt I could have stuck it out with the leaders though. Maybe next time.

 

[David Buxton]

And I knows fer sure that one of them hard trackside objects is gonna have me come Friday - just did 5 laps and the best I managed was approximately 15 x end over end mini body rolls whilst doing over 220kmh coming down the final hill

Hmmmm, I'm not going to last long am I :lol:

 

[Andrew Evans]

[Lee Downham]

Hmmmm, I'm not going to last long am I :lol:

I will be honest ... your name did spring to mind when I suggested the format mate :wink2: :sorry:

 

[Willem Fischer]

I was surprised to see Bram Hengeveld in the list of Evo's supplied FBMW cars... Who is who...?

 

[Gary Lennon]

Yves vid saves me the bother of reporting the opening of the race,i was the silver car from 5th start,i thought you would have Thommo's GPL Cat skins pack Yves so my Jim Clark skin would be seen .
The second half of the race was very much like Watkins last week where i tried and failed to make a break from Yves and as tyres went away he was ready to pounce,i offered him the inside for T1 to outbrake me,but i left it later than normal myself for braking,Yves ended up going straight on to the gravel and i now had the comfort gap to the finish.
Many Thanks to all the gentlemen drivers and Thanks to Yves and RD :good:

 

[Rob Goldthorpe]

That name is in the BMW M3 car selection too

 

[Bob Miley]

Seems I am suddenly Mr. Popular, just been invited to my future daughter-in-laws graduation party, so will probably miss this, sorry. Unless of course they run out of ale, in which case I`ll be back.
