    Actually Rob the UK and EU region always change the clocks 1hr forward on the last weekend in March, so it's actually 2 weeks after North America :D.

    Who are these drivers in the races that are not registered for race on here, bounced around like a pinball and pushed down the the striaght on first lap steering was at 90 degrees no fun and the same driver 3 times in same lap,
    Frustrated after a solid week of practice and race stints to be retired after first lap

    I knew it was 2 weeks after the US but It must be 3 weeks then because we went 1 week ago & that's why I said 1 more week ?? lol

    well i had one to move on from today. poor start. get to T1 and the car just wouldn't turn.
    then when i decided to pit early for strategy, i somehow told it to "repair brakes" while i was trying to reduce the fuel number.
    "REPAIR BRAKES"??? i didn't even know that was there!
    live and learn.
    oh, forgot... it had to take the wheels off to repair the brakes, i assume, but it didn't think to change the tires at the same time.
    bad pit crew. bad.
    :)

    Time for our American friends to google before you doodle
    time for our American friend’s to google before you doodle. There was an old PBS programme that the motto was “educate yourself “. I am Canadian and I am sorry but we are very upset right now. Elbows up! Never 51! You can kick me off this group if you’d like.

    made the race interesting for myself by getting a drive through for going too quickly whilst in formation at the start, really enjoyed going back through the pack, good battle with john who defended hard but fairly, shame he came to blows with robin but I agree with Rob on the broadcast that it was just hard racing between them.

    The lock ups on these cars are a killer, especially when braking offline, I also noticed that LMU has the same pedal bug as rfactor 2 (for my fanatec pedal set at least) where if you do not press the brake pedal all the way down whilst in the GUI before going out for the first time the brakes will lock up with only 5% application.

    Lorne, This is not a place to discuss politics, in fact it's forbidden.. We are all here with one thing in common, the love of motorsport & sim racing. With that said I will say I am on your side here with all this craziness and will leave it at that .. :)

    Sorry, Nick Westy.
    I don't know which lap it was, but in the last corner before the start-finish line, I lost control of my vehicle and crashed into you...
    It was not intentional and I sincerely apologize to you.
    Sorry.:(

    It's OK Ertan, luckly the damage was just cosmetic, wrong place at the wrong time.

    My suspension was broken so I hit esc.
    I hit the brakes a bit too late and the contact caused me to spin and hit the barrier.

    Feel like I could of finished a little better in this one, fun battles along the way, messed up with the fuel strategy, had to make a splash and dash at the end, but forgot about the fuel deal, needed 4 laps but only came back with 3 laps in the tank, so had to make another splash and dash, still learning I guess, looking forward to the next.

    Grats Nick and podium.

    Another awesome broadcast @Rob Milliken.

    I also did not know that.
    So, I would not have finished the race anyway, because I was not looking at my fuel anymore after the pitstop, confident that I had enough, and it would have taken me by surprise :p:eek:

    I only did half an hour of practice, but I must say that the default setup of the Ferrari is pretty good.
