And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
You lunatic

Had some good racing. Race 1 went off track a little at T1 letting Freezer and Mael go past. Kept close behind them and got them back when they had contact between themselves at the first hairpin and I pushed my way through  4th place finish wasn't expected but very welcome  Race 2 I was travelling nicely in 4th and staying with the leaders (let's not mention they had more ballast). When Kcender caught up I gave him an easy pass down the back straight as I thought it better than watching my mirrors all the time and also I thought he might mix it with the leaders and I would be ready to take advantage of any carnage But like all good plans, it fell apart when I wandered off track at the fast left going up the hill which let Jeremy get right on my ass. Another mistake let Jeremy past. Another mistake let Shayne close in rapidly and we had contact. I think Shayne waited and redressed and I rejoined in 8th I think. THEN, not accounting for the dirty tyres, I went wide at the next turn and spun around, Gratulin drove past and I was 10th. I past Gratulin at T1, but I must apologise as I wasn't purposely attempting a pass and I ran wide on the exit of the turn. Finished 9th which wasn't bad considering the number of own goals kicked  Currently not a fan of the points system as I finished 4th and 9th and only 9th for the round ....

But at least it gave me a fun battle with Russ
Fantastic battle mate. It was great stuff. I was just dirty on myself when the battle ended with me stuck in 2nd gear and wondering why you, ab156 and Keith were all driving past . By the time I realised, it was too late  Keith and I had a touch a bit later (and he had a little off) that I may have to apologise for but I'm not quite sure. I won't leave it stuck in 2nd next time

Race 1: Apologies to Freezer for punting him on lap 1. After that I had some great racing with Shayne and Freezer. Don't know where all the cut tracks came from. I don't think I actually cut track once .... Race 2: Qualified 2nd Got away OK but Phil.8 got past, then Kcender & Phil.8 were just too fast. Was going nicely in 3rd until the rear stepped out coming onto the straight and I crashed. Apologies to ab156 who was behind me and couldn't avoid my carnage. I ended up facing the wrong way and had to do a 3 point turn in the middle of the straight Pressed on but even though damage was off my times were about 1.5 secs down. Again, don't know where the cut tracks came from. Fun night I like F1 cars.

Checksum mismatch
Note: I can join the ROOZ server that has the same track/car combo without issue. Edit: ROOZ has Barcelona - GP, XGN has Barcelona - Moto. What the hell is Moto?

Well at least the HR was much better than the HD. My dad told me the HD stood for "Horrible Design" and HR was for "Hurriedly Righted" (he had a HR), but my first car was an EH and I still gotta love an EH when I see one

Here are the replays for anyone's viewing pleasure ... Race 1: http://www.mediafire.com/file/x2xuzjuj6kb023s/AC_060218-202447_R_ks_bmw_m235i_racing_ks_laguna_seca_large_grid.zipRace 2: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i2crdi02ik824w8/AC_060218-205601_R_ks_bmw_m235i_racing_ks_laguna_seca_large_grid.zipRace 3: http://www.mediafire.com/file/tgxo66245dpqjo6/AC_060218-213437_R_ks_bmw_m235i_racing_ks_laguna_seca_large_grid.zipIn qually I didn't get any decent laps in so was happy to qualify 7th. Race 1: Missed the start and lost a couple of spots. The bloody sausauge kerbs kept getting me a little bit, then I hit one good which let Wally and Simone through and on the run to the left hander that leads up the hill I was protecting the inside line when JamieP swooped around the outside, made contact and I spun off. Clawed back a little to finish 11th. Race2: Tagged by Simone twice in maybe T3 lap 1 and I spun off. He immediately apologised and redressed  . I had recovered some places with others going off, then somehow grat wound up behind me. Coming down out of the corkscrew a bunch in front of me were squabbling over places and I was baulked slightly, grat swooped around the outside, made some side by side contact and I spun off. Somehow recovered somewhat, then outdragged ab156 out of the last turn to finish 10th by about 1 inch (25mm for the youngsters). Race 3: Started OK, but grat was behind me. We had plenty of contacts, one side to side when Shayne warped badly coming down from the corkscrew and I baulked to see what would happen, then a number of hurry up taps heading up to the corkscrew I guess I wasn't fast enough .. hahah. Eventually grat got by when I hit a @#$%^ sausauge kerb, then had some fantastic racing defending from Mael but he finally got through. Finished 10th again. Despite the offs, I had a great time in this round. Congrats to the season winners.

Really good qually. Pipped for pole on the final lap by Phil.8. I had been up on my last qually lap but got a fence .... Race 1: Got away in front of Phil.8, but he was faster and made a pass. The pass slowed me down and Matthew got by as well. Then it was great pace at the front and i dropped back just a little. Then Matthew must have made a mistake somewhere because I was right back on him coming into the town on the second last lap. So I tried to press him hard and managed to just clip the inside of the last right before the finish line. It was a light clip, but it smashed the windscreen. I thought I would be OK to keep P3 with one lap to go, but obviously it was big damage because I was 2.5 seconds down by the time we were going up the first hill. killa breezed past, then Mael, then Bueller. Then at the last right before the town I brushed into the fence on the left and pinballed across the track and back ending up nose first into the fence. Couldn't see where any cars were so performed a VERY careful reverse 3 point turn before rejoining with smashed suspension and somehow managed to limp home 9th Race 2: 35% restrictor. Started OK, but others blew past me, then got caught up in the carnage. Restrictor + damage, pressed on. Fastest lap was nearly 3 seconds down but had some good racing and finished 7th. Race 3: 80% restrictor. Fastest lap 5 seconds down, but had some great racing with Wally and Bacchulum. Somehow finished 5th  Not as good a night as I was hoping for, but I kicked my own goals in race 1, so pretty happy with the outcome ....
