Thanks a lot to everybody. Was a very funny night.
As the new guy I suppose I should open the chat. We had the car and the speed was there. It was our home race and our debut race: we wanted to make our supporters happy. We worked hard during the weekend and---despite pit-wall f***-ups---got home with few but precious points. RACE 1: After a good qualifying session, unfortunately the pit-wall failed to make the right choice (forgot to switch back to mediums after quali). The first 4 or 5 laps were great and was holding in 3rd or 4th, but then the car started to be really loose. I wondered what was going on and by lap 7, when I had lost already 3 positions, I finally checked the leader-board.... it said S (for Stupid, I suppose). Opened tt and said 87%!!! Landed an 8th place with Wally gently helping me through the finish line. RACE 2: In the second race instead the strategy was great. Mediums were working great and my last laps where in the low 48, while my direct contenders in the hard could rarely go below 49. Start was disastrous: lost 5 positions, I think. But then I got back to a promising 4th or 5th position (can't remember very well). Rolz behind me started to pay on the hards, while my mediums were pounding till lap 9. Unfortunately the pitstop was very slow. I have been told that the rear left was not getting out and they lost a lot of time fixing that. It happens. We have to work on that. I lost a position in pitlane and then rejoined behind Rolz, whose undercut was blessed by my slow pitstop. Rolz, Staan Daam and I went for a 5 or 6 laps battle, with me getting frustrated and (thanks to my joyful inexperience) getting the worst despite having the fastest car in the lot. A 7th place on debut is not too bad, but with 5th place so easily reachable, our supporters are understandably disappointed. 1173

Thank you guys!
I am not related to Gratulin, as far as I know... As for the car: I think I'll go for the GTC first. Hooroo for now (the human verification is like a course in Australian culture!) 1174

Hi Wally,
if there is space, I would like to join you guys for this season. I was racing with the raceonoz guys recently, but can't do Monday anymore. I have no idea if I am competitive with you guys. I know I am quite slower than GB or Marty, but I recognize some of the other names here as more or less at my level, so hopefully I won't be last all the time. I understand I should get PLP. Is there a password for teamspeak? Of course, I will be happy to contribute to ts and server costs. I saw there is a thread for it. PS: the test to register ("I am a sheep shagger. Where am I from?") is not checking if I am human, but if I am Australian. I had to google "sheep shagger" to figure it out. My first thoughts were "Scotland" and "Sardinia", though, if you are interested. |
