Let's get some more guys in for this last round! 45 minutes in the Alfa Romeo 155 on the Salzburgring ... What's not to like!!
Drivers briefing 1. The use of the Esc. key in Qualification Use of the Esc key during Qualifying is the equivalent of stopping your car and getting out. This may be done only in your pit stall. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Here are the only two we will currently consider. These exceptions are subject to change at any time: 1. You run out of fuel in pit lane before reaching your pit stall. 2. You sustain damage to your car as a result of another driver and cannot make it back to your pit stall. You must prove your qualifying session was wrecked by another driver and that you made an attempt to return to pit lane. If you use the Esc key in any location other than your pit stall, your Qualifying session is over and you may not return to the track. 2.

I had my wisdoms pulled. I'll have to sit this one out and have more energy for Sunday's race. Have fun all.
well did flushdns and all sorts of other youtube tricks and atleast this event i got cars showing. Good race, think what comes to whole series, i managed to keep my fronts in the best shape. And yes, to do that, car was horrible lol. Thanks to everyone taking part, gg's!
Toni and Caitlin were very quick today as usual in this car. I saw that the tires would go down fast, like in Cleveland. So I thought I would let the front guys wear out their tires and save mine by being more careful. But ... they could go fast and save (enough) tires anyway. So ... bummer haha! Grats to Toni for winning the race and the championship. Well deserved! Thank you all for supporting this series! The numbers were a bit low, but that's to be expected when selecting a difficult car to drive. That's not everybody's cup of tea.
Off the pace and hating the tight corners and chicanes. Let the front 2 get away to try and save rubber I would need at the end of the stint. Unfortunately I was always second guessing myself where to brake for the chicane as the time of day had changed significantly from practice, qually and warmup. It would undo me and I spun into the barrier dropping me to last luckily still with my front fender. Made steady progress in the first stint trying to catch up, coming across Mr Summers and Mr Milliken when they had problems. I think I only ended up passing one person legitimately. Always slightly unsteady coming into that fast right hander at the end of the lap. Could make no sudden moves and the car just went where it wanted to. Had a couple of scary moments when the rear nearly decided to overtake me. I spat myself into the barrier so many times in practice. One of the leaders pitted and began gaining. Coming into the fast right hander I felt as though my car had locked it's rears and I went full broadside into the slower right hander that came after. I think it more luck than judgement that the car didn't do a 180. Unfortunately this was my in lap and I had already unselected damage, but this punt turned it back on and I was left getting it repaired at the pitstop. Unsure if that is something I can turn off? Jim the crew chief has never heard me well enough to do it by voice. Spent the rest of the race looking at my fuel numbers hoping that I got the fuel milage right. I had no hope of doing laptimes to catch third with a 15-20 second deficit. I finished with 1 lap of fuel left. 48 mins of pain! Shocked I ended up 3rd in the championship. 4WD was hard to figure out, I don't think I could ever do it.
Good review Neil. Thanks for the video. Is that your actual heartbeat? Was hoping to see you in this GTE series
Apparently so! These races give it a work out!! You won't see me in the GTE series, as those cars bore me.
Sorry about the punt, Neil! I was caught off guard by how much more grip I had than you in that sector and just misjudged it. My fault!
