    You shouldn't calculate from the leader, but where most guys are.

    I've picked up an arm injury so I'm going to have to miss this one.
     
  6. I must be blind, but I only see the race start time at the right of the home page (19:20), but what about the other sessions?

    A request to the leader, take an Alfa GTA ride, I want to know how much skill I need to master this car

    Best regards

    Sorry for the no show. I tried to make it. Indeed I was on the server up until a few minutes before. But I wasn't feeling well and had to pull out. I was really looking forward to the race. I had decent pace too. Oh well always next time. Hope you all had a good one.

    Grats to Jeffrey for the win and Laurent for third place.

    I had some pretty big fights, so good fun.
    See you all at Monaco.

    Another amazing race, I had terrific duels with several drivers including Kimi, John, Michal, Kai, Maxime and Stefan :).
    In my battle with Kai I missed my braking point and punted us both off the track so my apologies for that ... I did a drive-through as penance :oops:.
    The final few laps were intense ... Stefan was an ever-present threat behind but Maxime had come within reach ahead and I put in my best laps to close the gap. We had a drag-race to the finish line and Maxime just kept his advantage but it was soooo close :D. After the race I made a brew and watched Caitlin's brilliant broadcast to see what happened to everyone else throughout the race and there was plenty of action throughout the field :cool:
    Congrats to the podium guys ... Jeffrey was awesome in his Mustang :).

    Monaco next ... THAT will be interesting in the Mustang :D

    A great fun but rather poor driving here.. A little punt on Laurent in turn 2 lap 1, sorry I didn't think you'd need to brake here as in the Healey I just lift off so I was surprised. That led to a catastrophic 1st lap for me.
    Also sorry Bill for the tap but your car almost stopped in that hairpin immediately after your incident with Kaï. I waited for you in the S/L only to see you going into the pits. o_O:D

    My pedals calibration wasn't good also, so that my brakes were slightly triggering from time to time, the lesson is : never change your load cell settings just before an event. I hadn't driven for about 2 months and it's crazy how the matters can easily come when off for a while..

    Congrats to podium guys and thank you all for racing ! :)

    a very exciting race last night, pretty much action from start to finish for me, battling various great looking historic touring cars (other than Johns rusty old pile of crap :D )
    For some reason i couldnt find the pace i was setting in all the build up to this race and took me late into the race to start setting 3:20 & 21 times. I think the shonky fps was affecting my rhythm in the infield section (did tell you this version was a year older than i had !! o_O )
    Early part of the race i seemed to being going backwards as a series of quick drivers closed on me and then got by with some deft driving. Had a great little fight with first Laurents BMW and then Phils MG and we swapped places twice by making the same error in the same corner, but enjoyable action for ages.
    With 27mins remaining i stopped for new tyres and rejoined in 6th just in front of Johns escort. Thought 'must not let him pass' as he's a nightmare to get past, only to miss a gear shift in that long sweeping right hander and allow him a free pass :mad: From then on until the flag i spent the whole time trying to get past his roadblock of a car with some great defensive driving by John to not let me pass. I would say some of it was borderline pure blocking because if i hadnt got out of the throttle there would have been contact a few times and some corners the door was firmly closed or squeezed when i had the run on him, but hey this is touring cars and all is fair in love and war :p It made for a great fight and Lorenzos lovely S2000 kept nipping at my heels with the time i was losing, i really thought id lose 6th on the last lap :eek: but thats where i finished. :) Soaked in sweat from the effort at the end. What a race just for 6th ! :cool:
    The cars looked awesome on this circuit :)
    ps how come i appear in a different 911 each race? didnt we assign skins? should have been in the Jagermeister pork.
    pps thanks once again to Caitlans great video coverage, love watching the race again afterwards.

    Thanks racers for race and Caitlin for Caitlining. :) Race it self was fun, I made too many mistakes tho, turn 3 braking from 240km/h was too hard task for me, I overshoot it like 5 times. Next round will be comedy at Monaco with Merc, just wonder if is there even enuff room to turn @ Loews...
