    I appreciate that your annoyed but I was inside and half way alongside you when you turned in on me. I had no where else to go, so I apologise for the contact.
    If you would like it reviewing please submit a stewards report.

    Barrett has some good detail. I think they all do what your saying David. I'm driving a Porsche with a rear engine but this might work for all. I had your problem but fixed it.

    I upped the preload and Oversteer under braking: Stiffen front springs.

    Your going to feel some of it still if your way to hot into a corner but then this becomes more of a drivers problem than the car itself.

    Congrats Toni for the win! I got to say great race for Lorenzo as well. I was watching you guys race from the leaderboard while racing haha. What a blast.

    Qualifying went good. 3rd isn't bad.

    Racing. Was behind Lorenzo and when they braked for the first corner, I slowed down as the race was to long to make hard moves. That's when the dive bombers showed up. I had nowhere to go so I just hit the brakes and let the crowd by instead of getting my door slammed and being thrown into the grass.

    All in all, great race. Wet, man, crazy lol. The awesome stuff? Everyone here was able to jump into a race and race people from around the world. Just a win for everyone. Now I'm off to my anger management class! :mad:

    Johnny,

    Nick was (also) actually talking about me (post-race interview) and I did push him off door to door.
    I don't care about the drive-through. It will be fun fighting my way to the front. I will have some good battles :D:cool:

    NO-SHOWS

    The following drivers have been removed from the series as a no-show:

    Paulo Rodrigues
    Rui Simões
    Jonas Lagesson
    Dietmar Stein
    Miguel Santos

    If a driver does not show without unregistering for that event or letting us know that he can't make it on the event forum, he will be removed from the series.
    If he is no longer interested in the series, it's fine like it is.
    If he forgot about the event, he can sign up for the series again.

    (You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the event you can't do.)

    Yea 100% was in a good 3 way battle with a couple of drivers, sadly was cleaned out. Until then P8 was best I could hope for but damage meant I had to settle for P10. :(

    Grats to Toni "the flying Fin" Talvitie on a great win taken in the last moment of the race.
    And a big compliment to Lorenzo Bettini for being a very close runner-up. He almost had the win and had a very impressive pace.

    Congratulations to Tony for having won the race and to the whole community, I really enjoyed the race. Thanks for the compliment John! In the second pit stop, when I was coming into the pit, I brake too late, lock up the tires as a result I entered the pits at 56km/h (the exact speed limit in the pit lane), I was very lucky there:)

    Watched a replay of the Eitha Racing Broadcast and have to say, the race was more exciting than that afternoons Dutch GP!
    The battle for the win between Toni Talvitie and Lorenzo Bettini was brilliant! Congrats to both for putting on such a great show and to Johnny Gutierrez for a solid third place.
    In fact, congrats to all the drivers - that looked like a really tricky track and the rain must have made it waaaay trickier.
    Congrats also to Eitha Racing Broadcast for another really entertaining show.

    To adjust for not stopping after contact I will do a drive through at the next race.

    Can I just add my
    congrats to all as well. @Gilles da'Silva it was so so tricky, corner to corner lap to lap. Track changed minute by minute. From dry to wet and back again. The toughest conditions I have driven in for a long long time.

    I'll say ... The signups on Sunday went from 29 to 20 and of those 20 there were 5 no-shows. So we had a drop from 29 to 15 drivers on the grid.
    And I believed, in all my innocence, that I did all potential drivers a BIG favour by selecting this wonderful, cool and exciting track. This test of skill. And then I thought ... wouldn't it be cool to add some rain into the mix in the middle of the race for the spectacle and a twist in tempo ... How wrong can one be ...
    I guess all those guys that bailed did one lap and thought ... "Not on your life!!"
    Personally, I think this is one of the coolest tracks to race on. Very technical and skill demanding. And to top it all off, let's have some rain. Love it !! :D
