    May not be able to race on Sunday :( My internet connection keeps dropping out. Getting it fixed but not until Thursday. It does become stable for a while so if this corresponds with the race I'll be there. I will unregister just in case :(

    Ai Ai Ai big mistake in the Gurva Grande. Into the barrier and then I hit something in the vegitation that ripped my front end off.
    Had to go into the pits for repairs. Well, great track to drive with these cars, so that was fun. Beter luck next time I hope :rolleyes:

    Grats to Caitlin for the win. Well done!!

    I made a big mess of my pit stop... 1st time I stopped in wrong position (thought I would have the 1st pits). Can anyone give some pointers how you can tell which one is yours cause I cannot distinguis. 2nd pit stop I pushed the wrong button and i think my RR tyres was a wet tyre. All in all 2nd ain't bad but I was aiming for more. Better luck next time.

    Congrats Caitlin...

    If you want to know for sure where your pitbox is, you should do a practise pitstop before the race. Then you see where the red square is where you stop. And then you remember that position.
    I always check where the pit entry line is and do a practise pitstop. No surprises.

    Great race which i blew away in 1 mistake that caused me to take repairs and left me a slightly tilted wheel for around 20minutes.
    Was hard pushing the end stages so finishing 3rd im very pleased considering the amount of practice done.
    I was slower on straights but had great balance to corners, specially t1, which was the only corner i had time to do my setup for :D
    Great Fun!

    Great job to everyone who got to the finish ! & Grats Catlyn on the win ! it takes poise and patience to be consistent in these epic cars of the 70's .. These cars take me back to my hi school days where I drove something very similar ! :D Lets just say that my hi school class of 75' are all wittiness to me mastering the burnouts lol (im extremely old) ..
    I also want to contest my DNF as I did in fact complete all the laps and finish on the lead lap getting the checkered . It's the track data code that gave me the DNF and did not count my last lap because I drifted over on to the "banked loop" side of the line when crossing the finish line , the code is there so you cant take short cuts to the other side during the races & so it can count the laps properly .. I hardly think crossing the middle of the track on the strait should matter on the last lap ?? o_O:rolleyes:
    I request an inquiry ! :D
    1. photo evidence of my 18th lap (results had me dnf with 17 laps)

    Wish I could have raced here as I'd done a fair amount of practice. Hopefully I'll get the interweb fixed for the next round.
    Well done to Caitlin and all who took part :)

    Excellent video review, John. Should be added to the media library.
