Race 1 - Got involved in someone else off... damaged suspension - limped home to pits then circulated.

Race 2 - Had an excellent race with Simone, Abs, Doobs??? lots of people - really good close high pressure racing but pretty clean. Very good. And my 1st open wheel top 10! - 9th.

Covered in sweat.

thanks again Wally for all your work on this - I'm sure everyone here really feels the same way.

On to the next one!

1st race with Seanus & DJB1974 was great fun - lots of pressure and pretty good consistency by all three when racing together - Seanus turbo boost was just too much on the straight though.
good race


race 2 To everyone that ran in to me in race 2 - no worries - I was uber slow anyway, somehow was in 7th or 8th in 2nd race then hit from pillar to post and ended up 15th or so.

overall did not have much time to learn this track - and it showed anyhoooo

I was very happy with a 1.58.6 on the practice server with the restrictor - but unfortunately that pace was not available come qualifying...

Race 1 - so so qual - had forgotten how to take some corners and not push on others....
kept nose clean and ended with a good dice with Gratulin - nearly made the most of a mistake then I made one the next corner - and he got away - but still great fun racing. - had 25% restrictor

Race 2 - no 25 % restrictor and lots of speed, but took some rear down force out and nearly landed in the local hospital with a lose at Eau Rouge.... Somehow caught it, then a stupid mistake at that last silly little chicane resulted in a  spin and much red mist - drove very hard chasing Freezer but could not pass, last lap and 1-3 cars ahead must of tangled or something as I snuck past a couple of people - held on to ??8th on the last lap then went over the line with a car glued to the front and rear wing - great racing.

  I will be otherwise occupied for this Tuesday night    - so I'll have to miss the Red Bull ring. Had a quick practice anyway - and got to a 1:16:9 with ye olde restrictor - thanks for adding that to the practice server Joe.

One thing that I think may be an issue here is the track limits... The last 2 corners seem to be able to be driven all sorts of ways and still register as valid. Anyway good luck all. have fun.

 

I'm in

Thanks all - especially Wally - for putting the season on. Looking forward to the next one already.

thanks again

Qual: Bit slow already add 20kg and a bit slower still.

Race: Excellent.....solid 11th  until I came in for my stop - and the arsholes were not ready......I even backed up for them if I'd overshot. No dice. Back out - do another lap or so then in again - this time they were ready..... But position 10 or 11 had dissappeared - came home 14th. Noteable dices with Bacchulum and fun chasing the black and yellow car - after I'd been lapped.

All in all - sad face re. pits = 26 seconds for pseudo stop, which - without the extra stop would have put me in 11th or so - other than that I was happy with my driving...

Almost got dizzy with all the direction changes - but aside from my pit problem - I was happy with my pace considering the 20kg penalty.

Hope everyone else had a fun race.

Time for a shower - covered in sweat !!
