    Had a good race going behind the mid pac & got distracted for 1 sec & totaled the car into the fences, made it back to pits with 3 tires but had no breaks & missed my pit stallo_O, & crashed into one of the carports & then the engine blew ....:rolleyes::D..
    Grats to the podium!
    Great mod! the racing is fantastic!

    I thought I jumped the start, so I gave you back position after turn 1. But it might be that I just did a better start then you. :p I'll have to check the replay.
    Good battle with Jos again, until I made a small mistake and he got past me. He took tires in the pitstop and dropped back quite a bit. But tires were not madatory.
    Grats to Johnny for the win. Too fast for me today.

    Grats to the podiums, sincere apologies for the contact @Mark Hightree! I had another off a little later (all on my own) and dropped to 11th, but the handling got better on a lighter fuel load, and clawed my way back to 7th and the pit stop strategy meant I got back up to 6th. Happy to finish in my quali position after all that. Setup needs some more work, but great cars and great racing.:)

    I think that may be right. Don't remember any contact with you Chris. Some good racing today and the cars are a great value. Thanks John for hosting. Congrats to the podium. I thought I could compete but I've got a lot of work to do. Sachsenring will be exciting.

    Good racing all.

    The last time I raced here was I believe when we were racing in GTR2. So many memories came rushing back last night when I was trying to set up the car on this track. Q went good as I think 3rd was a good spot. Race started and Jos got a great start as I didn't know if 1st or 2nd gear was the correct gear to be in. Went with 2nd. Wrong. First corner, dug it in deep as I thought their was lots of room left on the inside. Passed John up as I thought he might have been having car issues. He was just trying to give back the position to Toni but I didn't know at the time and would have slowed down and waited if I would have known this. Stayed behind Toni and decided it was wise just to race and follow. But nooooooo, I had to go for the inside. A little to deep I went and we both did this sideways dance which was pretty sweet and so much fun. All in all, it was good racing. These cars are a hoot. I hope to see all at next race and I hope more people as I feel this series/cars are so much fun.

    Cheers!

    Don't know what it is Toni. After every race, racing you guys, I'm totally soaked in sweat and exhausted and ready for a nap LOL.

    Well, that's nice. If only you would have known haha.
    After checking the replay, I actually did a better start than Toni right on the racing line. So there was no need to give up FIRST PLACE!! :confused::eek::p
    But no problem. I had a lot of fun racing you and Jos, so nothing lost.

    Btw, I know this mod is not the cheapest, so I want to thank everybody who bought it and signed up!
    I feel it's worth every penny. We're having a lot of fun with it and when constructing the series, I extended the events from standard 6 to 8 to give you all your money's worth.

    First proper online race since the recent big gap in simracing.

    Great race with a podium finish that could have been 2nd position had I not made the silly mistake of not reading the instructions and realising I didn't need to change tyres at the pit stop!! Although, even without changing tyres, I'm sure the battle with John wouldn't have been sorted out that easily...

    I had a lot of fun. Managed a few overtakes making the most of complex moments for Toni, John and Jen.

    I had a great time as used to. Congrats to Johnny and John for a great race and podiums.
    See you next time.

    Thanks for the race video Jos. Great promo for the series!
    If you like you can upload it to the media section and I'll create a DTM 1991 folder for it.

    At 18:30 I was sleeping again when I made that mistake. Then you were so close and putting so much pressure on me that I started overdriving the car, missing all my apexes as you can see. :p

    I have to check it Rob. It's the one I had configured a long time ago and cannot say for sure. I'll let you know next time I fire up rf2.

    That moment at 24:00 was quite a moment...
    You had a great defense, John. It took me quite a while to 'break' you with everything I had. Really a fantastic way of coming back to simracing online. :)
