I didn't get much practice time after joining late. Eventually got my times into the 1:49's over the course of the evening.

Race 1 ended after 9/10ths of a lap when I hit the wall on the exit of the final chicane, unfortunately taking a couple of cars behind with me (@Nelson Ullinskey and I believe @Burim Bunjaku, apologies for that :( )

Race 2 went slightly better. Although still off the pace and being caught up in the second corner shenanigans, I finally got underway in second-to-last and spent 20 minutes minding my own business. I could not get a grip on the handling of my car at this track, just felt alien, and ended up spinning at both the fast chicanes at some point during the race. The last few laps were made very enjoyable due to a battle with @Filip Carlén, including one point when we were side-by-side from 180 corner on the infield until turn 1 on the following lap, which was great fun. Thanks for the clean racing Filip. It culminated with a drag race off of the final chicane in which I just nabbed 7th (I think) on the line.
Yea, that was super-fun, you where 0.1 sec before me, i failed in the last chicane and you just flew past me, like I was a sleeping snail. Great fun and clean racing! Hope to see you guys tomorrow and on Friday, not sure if im going to make it, i'm on a class-trip and don't really know when im getting home, we are leaving Gothenburg at 16 GMT, and it's a 110 km trip. But i should make it!
 
National holiday over here, so there should be plenty of time :D I'm in!

#EDIT#
Did some laps, back to my default shaky Mini setup ;) Attached in case anyone's interested - and not frightened by this :D (how am I going to explain that to the mechanics, anyway? "Wanted to try synchronized diving. Yep, in a car."?)

I'll keep it rather short today since I don't remember that much due to the staff meeting - plus, my races weren't that eventful today :D

Got onto the server a bit early as I hadn't put in any laps until then - managed to qualify... yeah, I managed to qualify. 5th, I think? ;)

When race time came, I realized I hadn't practiced any starts - screwed it up accordingly and went back to P10 - had a nice, small battle with Enzo and, quickly afterwards, Dennis, but couldn't pass neither.
With concentration fading away even more, I lost a few seconds on them and finished P8 - it wasn't until the finish line that I realized that would be pole for race #2 - uh oh! :D

Once again, I started lousy. This time, however, I didn't lose that many positions through the first few corners, though - only to get passed a few corners down the line - With the fast guys (Joe, Reggie, Matthias, Nelson, Arunas) in front, I was now in P6 and hadn't that much traffic to care about - partially due to a slightly better concentration on the race which resulted in faster & more constant lap times ;)
Gained a few places due to Joe DNF'ing and Nelson spinning to finish P4 (or 3, as displayed, but I think that was due to Reggie leaving the server rather early ;))

Thanks for racing, everyone, see you tomorrow!
 
That went loads better than expected for me :cool:

Qualified mid pack for the first race after a somewhat decent practice and held my position for fifth WITHOUT touching the wall I shall proudly add . Race 2 had an awesome start! Thanks for all the epic racing Matthias, Reggie, Arunas and Bjorn :thumbsup:. I dropped back, and spun a few times throughout the race pushing too hard at the exit of turns. Finished sixth/fifth again without touching the wall.

Thanks for organizing, and I will see you guys on track tomorrow :ninja:
 
Screw Volvo, I'm king of the world with my new love Agro Romelo or what it calls :D
Never expected to race side by side with Matthias or Reggie and fight for the better position :cry::inlove:
It is/was race which I'll never forget.. :thumbsup:
I was very smart to practice start procedure at the end of warmup and it helped me a lot :rolleyes:
Managed to hold my P3 at the start of the R1

Matthias against Reggie, Me against Joe. Sadly Joe was forced to pit, I think because of SnG.

I was trying to catch Reggie for P2, but never done it because I've received SnG. So I was glad to hold P3 after pitstop.

R2. Too much accelerator and Dennis spins right in front of me at the start and have collected another driver. But I've sneaked through without any damage.

Three BMW's (Nelson, Bjorn, Reggie) blocking way to Alro Romeros army :D

Wrong way Nelson! He was trying hard to catch me and nearly made it, but lost control..
7896-1412285081-4a24925333626d61a5a6cc03405a7a10.jpg


And here we go again. Me and recovering Reggie. Fight for P2. One little mistake and he makes it.
7897-1412285082-5190e42fd80a720ea64e4eec841b67fe.jpg


But I was trying to regain my position in the last laps of the race. Nearly made it when Reggie was braking very early, but when he realised that he made mistake and I'm on the mission he was trying to close doors to the corner and we collided. I was not very happy with my overtake so I've returned position back. But it was great fight!

Nice racing all! See You all next time :)
 
Great cars these! I hope yours was as nice as mine :). Quicker than the '07 car I was in the other day too.

One clean lap for quali and that was all I wanted.

Flubbed the start, not for a lack of practice, just my first starting mistake of the day :(, that lost me a bit and I worked hard to climb back. No major mistakes or offs , I just kept pushing and ran out of time coming up on Enzo after being chased all race long by Bjorn. There were a number f corners I could have blown completely but didn't, great fun.

Will, I didn't want to start on the front row but the way R1 worked out there wasn't much opportunity to weasel out of it. Again a goofed up start, wheelspin got me turned and tapped and retapped so I quickly decided To give up an up front position to hang around the back. Too much time to those ahead but I pressed on and ended up with some fun laps in by the end.

Thanks to all the late arrivals for a nice size grid. I guess there wasn't much on TV? ;)
