Hi guys, unfortunately trouble at work will cause me to miss this one, hope you all have a good fun race,
Pfff so pissed .. got 2nd pole,, then had to take a quick pee and race started without me ..so sry for any damage ... my car was toast .. Clock said 2 min but I forgot the ready/vote over rules ...
Well, not very fairplay tonight... A José Branco who pushes me in the grass in the first turn, while I was already inside, then again in the next one...and in the descent "Groen Mamba" (not seen in the list of participants !!) who pushes me whitout care and takes me out... I don't play for the first places, but still...

Very strange race to me. PC2 seemed to be at it again, with the biggest bug I've ever encountered. I started 1st, got away well. In the first corner I saw Roman's car fly over me in the sky and afterwards disappear from the timing sheets. I thought he disconnected, or had connection issues. From then on I saw him on the mini-map almost every lap, either in the pit or outside of the track stranded in the grass. On the display that shows how far other cars are from me I saw him moving between 1st, last and 6th (which I assume was the correct position at the time). I did not see him for the entire race, so I just drove to the end and thought I won. One more strange thing that happened was that the timer has already run out but I had to do another lap with 0:00 on the clock to get the pop-up that the race has ended. I didn't get to see the leaderboards after the race, I got put in the lobby right away. Looking back at the replay I saw Roman coming up and getting into 6th then 2nd. At that point he was right on me and it looks like I just drove like he wasn't there, crashing into him several times. I like hard racing but I wouldn't be this aggressive, especially against someone that's clearly quicker than me. His car model was not visible to me, and I didn't feel any contact in the race with anyone, ever. I'm alright with taking some kind of penalty as I nearly ruined someone else's race, but I wasn't aware of any contact we made and even thought I won the race at the end. PS: Sorry Roman for the incident, I really hope this issue never occurs again, it is really frustrating in hindsight
@Viktor: My experience was the same, Roman was all around, but his time display went crazy. Something was completely wrong! Sorry for Rob and his pee-problem, row 1 in quali was very impressive!! Thank you Scott for the thrill, after passing you again in the last lap, i knew that i would have big problems in the chicane/last corner, my car behaved very bad in this section. I saw you going round me outside the wide way, it was possible to block you there in a very primitive way, but i was reluctant to do this, you did a great job chasing me and deserved the position. Grats Viktor and Ken, outstanding pace!!!!
it is terrible that such problems, usually I never have problems in any servers - Europe ,USA, Asia and even for a long time South Africa. my internet is always fast and ping very low. Therefore, it was not at all clear to me why, despite my utmost accuracy in persecution, I receive such strange rudeness in response. Now the reason is clear, I hope this will not happen in the future. Usually short tracks are fraught with this, so it is better to choose GP configuration for the championship
Gutted I couldn't make the race, love Donnington, but I have just watched the replay, defiantly a strange one looking at it, not sure about some driving issues which is a shame, great job to the podium guys, strange results page but also a shame about the issues Viktor had. Hopefully see you all at the next one
