    Probably Phil was right and the 904 got even slower with the update, I am not fully sure about that. Regardless, the 8-10 second to the front on its best track is quite shocking. How much will it be in Bremgarten, 20 seconds? Actually, I am not sure what to do, because the Porsche does not drive bad, times it is fun to drive it. I was not that convinced from the other cars available. But, it is not much fun to be at the dead end of the field, where I seem to have a talent to crash into or nearby stranded cars.

    I think it's more important to enjoy yourself than keeping your points. So I would change the car to something fast.

    tricky race for me. I would like to thank the admin for setting 50% damage on the server, otherwise I would not have finished the race. it was my first race using 3 monitors and the corresponding fov for this kind of set, I had really big problems judging the distance. happy that I managed to finish the race.

    Missed almost whole quali while trying to fix Jari´s probs, he didn´t get in server for some reason. What comes to race, nothing to report really, broke my car badly after collision with spinned Corvette and so on...at the end laps times were ok'ish tho.

    Did anyone else have trouble with connecting to the server?
    - you have to type sro in the search box to find the server.
    - In the top left menu, I always click on single first and then on online to refresh. Seems to work. Or go back and forth to refresh.

    I really enjoyed this event.
    First, because I was fighting for positions in the front and in the back all race long. Never a dull moment. And the track is excellent for on the edge racing.
    Second, because Caitlin Penny is back broadcasting for us. And she came out swinging. The broadcast was awesome!

    My main rival was Kiril Kirilov all race long. My fastes lap in practice was 2.41.000, but Kiril brought out the animal in me and made me do a 2.38.900. I myself was surprised. I was so involved in fighting off Kiril that I didn't even notice how fast I was going. :eek:
    I was fighting for third place in the end, but Kiril was more consistent in laptimes and he even passed me 3 times because he was involved in other drivers crashes and had to do all the work again. Still, fourth place is pretty good in such a strong field and I'm glad to see that the BOP by track concept seems to work. Slow in Reims but flying in Bannochbrae.
    Next is Bremgarten, a super fast high speed track, and I don't think the Alfa can keep up, but then comes Clermont Ferrand where opportunity for the Alfa will knock again. :D

    Caitlin mentioned in the broadcast that Toni Talviti had changed cars in round 2, but he was also in the Alfa in round 1.
    Grats Toni ... that was a great win!

    I really had fun in the race too! Maybe I should do a DT every race :D All joking aside, I'm not even upset about the two accidents in which I was unintentionally involved. So I had to keep pushing to overtake John again and again. As he said himself, he was suddenly two seconds faster per lap. In the end I think I reached the maximum with P3. The top 2 guys were a bit too fast. Well done to them with a very solid drive. I hope the next races will be as good. See you then.

    Thanks to everyone for some incredible battles, especially my battles with Maddie and John. I was hoping for a round 2 battle with Maddie until Christian( I think) lost it over the jump and I T-boned him. From there it was just a case of trying to maintain my position because the pack caught me there. This was one of my favorite races since being with SRO. The track is amazing and brings out every bit of skill and guts that you have. Sorry to my team mate for spinning in front of him causing some lost time. I really look forward to the next one!:)
