Sorry...just too effin slow. Don't know the track well. Didn't practice much. Abandoned by my team mate. My pants were too 'Leather'. I was seeing things. Kept imagining being 69ed by GiK69. My radio was stuck on the wrong station. I ran out of chips and dip.

Lapped by a penguin! The shame!

Hmmm, a penguin passed one cheek of the famous Team A.R.S.E. It kind of puts the wind up you doesn't it Jack? Maybe a colonic, some waxing and a little bleaching will turn things around for you. Or maybe A.R.S.E. massage.

Tscuba(I know I spelt it wrong.) should be a fun day of drifting.
 
Race Report:
Race1:
After Qualy (where I "deleted" my 1:29.941 due to leaving to pits via start-Button and did a 1:30.121 during the final minute befor start) I got a good Start.
Held my position and R35 did his best to keep JB away from me (thanks 👍).
Couldn´t get Carb he mainly build up his gap at 3rd Sector (Mickey Mouse part)
=> 5.3 seconds was ok. I would have been there if he made a mistake, but that didn´t happen.
Great Race from you :D

Race2:
Now the funny part.
2nd Last was my position. Lights went out and I got a superb start. Went for the inside => could pass Cunny
Was behind RP who spun out right infront of me and me getting to 4th position after first chicane O_o
At the end of the Lap 1 got first. Carb was way behind so I thought wow focus on the Race you might win.
First chicane Lap 2 on of the TeamLotus guys misbraked and "tapped" me
=> Nel could close the gap a bit.
=> he could get next to me before the fast right and R35 thought he could pass too.
But he touched me
=> I almost went to the Sand.
=> me at 2nd Last -_-

But R35 is a fair sportsman and he waited 👍 All in all a Racing incident and that can happen.

I sweared a bit but tried to calm down. Maybe I tapped R35 a bit afterwards (sorry for that) but we had some nice laps. We both could pass a few guys till I spun out -_-
Had some great Laps with TeamLotus (Ferrari), GrayFox and Cunny.
At Lap 14 I pitted (due to the spins I couldn´t do a further one) right behind Cunny and directly infront of GrayFox.
After pits I thought Cunny had good pace and looks at his Tires => just get into the Cunny-Train.
Worked good passed him though after 2 Laps.
Did my 1:30 low´s till Lap 21.
Caught up to R35, JB and TeamLotus (Ferrari). Passed all three (R35 was on a 2 stopper) and thought good after all that a 3rd place is ok. But BS JB was faster arghh.
I couldn´t get him the last 2 laps
=> 4th.

The Front Downforce on the Audi is a bit competitive distortion :D:D:D:D:D (just kidding)
I could have won if....

But was a good Race espacially TeamLotus (Ferrari) did a great first appearance (sorry for not remembering who it was just remembered the Car :D).
I probably did 5 free air Laps during Race 2 => was fun all in all.

Looking forward to Tsukuba
 
thanks guys i really had fun. it was close racing though out the field.
I will be racing next week if there is spaces because i am only the reserve driver.
 
Race 1:

Not much to say, grabbed pole, led all the way and won :D Unfortunately akmuq said that Sak had fastest lap so not quite Grand Chelem... bwah :ouch:

Race 2:

Dead last on the grid, and I took it carefully despite Sak making crazy progress up the field from the first corner onwards. I was caught in some crashes with JB or Gedi (I think?) but just took it easy and followed the TeamTurbo guys for some time. When I saw Sak and R35 outside the track, I had my moment of relief, but still kept racing. I passed akmuq and was in 6th behind the TeamTurbo people while we were catching up to the lead pack. Seven went off in the 1st corner some time later and I moved to 5th, then later 4th after I finally made it past Gedi, though the guy kept attempting to re-pass in the first corner in later laps before going off...

...and about at the same time, I passed JB as well and went after Nel and RP, the latter of which pitted on a 2-stop strategy. So it was just us 3 in the lead and we exchanged positions a lot. I stayed on track for 1 lap more than them, but my lone lap was bad, I slid on the sand at turn 4 :grumpy: When I emerged from the pits, I had to make way for the entire pack coming from behind, and I was at 6th again, though still 3rd among 1-stoppers. I tailed Neljack and R35 who were duking it out, and after some searching for a chance, I moved to the inside in the first chicane and MADE IT!!! And just then, JB had spun on the grass, so I killed 3 birds with 2 stones... i.e. passed 3 cars in 2 corners...

RP and akmuq were on 2 stops, and they both went in, though there was the moment of embarrassment when I had just passed akmuq, and a few corners later, I went into the sand right before his eyes :ouch: But no worries, back to the track and back to the lead when he pitted, then it was just the replay of Race 1 in the last 9 laps :sly: 4th win in a row and an even bigger championship lead! It'll soon be found out who will end my winning streak, because I doubt my chances for a double on a track like Tsukuba :sly:
 
Welldone Carb and Team DBC:sly: Felt i had a chance in race 2 had a sleight lead which i felt i might be able to hold but who knows:dopey: Had incident with DBC number 2 driver on lap 18 turn 1 which i feel caused my spin nice tactics DBC!!:sly: Only kidding happens :grumpy: All good fun on the whole best performance from my teammate too!! Off to figure out a way of getting passed R35 at Tsubuka should i fall behind him.:ouch:
 
We will see, I'm going for 2 wins there!

Sits rubbing chin "3 Audi's, 2 Ferrari's,3 quicker Fords,Merc with grunt,moving brick :) and my poor 1st lap performances " 💡 I'm going for 2 11th/12th places.
