I had a decent race, got away cleanly after first corner and then built a large gap, then lost that by going off/spinning. Then after first pit stop i realised my fight was with mustard and he was going for a 2 stopper.
After 2nd pits i needed to catch mustard by 10 secs or so to keep in the fight(20sec gap), got held up by a bit of traffic failing to yeild but i got by intact, then lost an extra 2 or 3 secs (50sec gap) as i did an extra lap on softs as wasnt sure what mediums would be like.
Came out from 3rd stop in 10 seconds in front of mustard which was good as i knew it was gonna be close, then pushed to keep the gap for a few laps until mustards tires went off and i could jsut bring it home to take the win!! :)
Click to expand...

I would have been close with a decent quali run. I think you had me by 5-10 secs no matter what though. I just didnt have enough pace. :(

Maybe 3 stops was the way to go.....dont know. Its a tough call sometimes.
 
ye i think 3 stops was the way to go, i was losing 3secs a lap atleast after 10laps. U r too good tho, u were 12secs down after 1st lap and u caught me even with all that traffic to clear.
also i only got 1 run in quali aswell, binned my 2nd lap and i was 3tenths up, was lucky others did the same.
 
My race report:

Aherm

NANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANA i beat ferg :D

On a serious note. I did ok my main focus for this race and has been for some time was 7th or 6th and i achieved that but the most important thing for me is that I am trying SO hard lately to keep clean. and i would appreciate people telling me if i was clean or not to see if i need to improve :)
 
There were some awful qualis today, me included :(

Op now updated with profiles and rankings.
Congrats to Rich on his 4th race (you now have a profile) and he shoots straight to the top of the rankings, 1st mate :) excellent stuff. see if you can hang on to it!!!

Ellis- Lol
 
My race report
Quali- Absolutley rubbish. 1.29.xxx 2 seconds off what I could do :(
Race-
My least successful track, I have no rhythym here but here goes.
I qualified 10th and knew that I probably couldnt get a podium as I dont mind admitting I was slower than smithaz on all fronts and equal to mustard and pagey if I could keep the car on the track. Unfortunatley I couldnt but feel I finished to my potential with 4th so reasonably happy with the points.
Going into the first corner I was smashed out of the way (Yawn...again!) It seems some people cant control themselves grrrr. This left me last so I headed off to pick off as many fools as I could.
Surprisingly I skilfully took 9 positions up to my first pit, happy with that. I got 5th shortly after but startd coming off the track which gave PB 5th. God knows where Pagey came from but we started racing, I felt I had the measure of him in the middle sector but he was much quicker through s1. We fought until I came off twice in the same lap and it was an enjoyable part of the race but after my crashes he was gone. I raced PB for a while until he ceded position to me (tyres knackered) and I was 5th again. Somewhere along the line I went past spurgey (never even saw him) and was hunting down my old rival.......Pagey (booooooo, ssssssss etc. etc.) :)
I was flying up on him for a while but my tyres went over the cliff and we maintained a small gap till the finish.
Even though I dont like the track it was still cool to be vying with PB and pagey so happy days.

Well done to all the racers, great finish for the podium boys and PB, thanks for the race 👍
Smithaz got the hat trick with a win, fastest lap and pole :D nicccceeeeee

About the exhibition race you advertised in the IndyCar thread, I could participate! :D I could do Lotus or Mercedes GP, preferably Mercedes :D
 
Ok cowboys, go easy on us though. We are corner turning types and will be hopeless :D
Teams are defunct for this one as we have guests from your series and there are no points, Ill put you down.

That would be cool apart from the fact that we would lose :(
If we did an oval and then a F1 track maybe we would be onto something for the future 👍
 
Ill think about damage, I agree it would be cool but could ruin your race early if someone goes all chuck norris at the start. Also I have no way of punishing people as its a non championship race.

Skate- Amen brother 👍

I get home from school @ about 9:00 PM GMT, is there anyway we could start around (preferably after) then? I'm still at school at 8:40 PM GMT. If we can, then I'm down. I'd love to (being American and all).
 
Rich- I did for indycar mate but now they cancelled (as you will know) so ill see you at indy on wed 👍

Musolino- How soon can you get on your ps3? I have told loads of people the race is starting at 9 but I can hold em off a little maybe.

I should be able to get on pretty quickly, it just depends on how long my bus ride takes. 20 minutes is usual which gets me home at 9 PM GMT so I guess I'll have to do my best.
 
Ok mate ill put you in and try and delay things but be aware the room may fill up and once its full its full.
Hope you make it.

My head is getting better and better. I couldn´t race yesterday, I had to throw up a few times after I posted.
=> went sleeping

My pace was 1:28-1:29 => not that good maybe lower midpack

I´m looking forward to Trial Mountain (well not really cause I "hate" this combi) to try and earn me some CP´s.

Wednesday: I can´t compete here, I´m at a Birthday-party of my Best Friend.
 
Hi Guys,
Congratulations SMIthaz:tup: ( how on earth do you get a 20sec lead over the others ).. You MUST have magic glue on your tyres .
I thought maybe if I qualified last I wouldn't get involved with crashes and YEH:gtpflag: it worked very well at first... So coming up to the first corner I just watched everybody crashing :.....:confused:I then saw a good time to try and get some places .. I think after all the rough and tumble and hardly being able to see through the smoke (I took a chance ) and it paid off.👍.. I think I then was 5th.. Yes this is good (I thought) until MMMMM I went off and all those places I made up......:grumpy: Gone in a flash.Everything was going ok ..... good laps . I pitted at Lap15and came out of thepits and lost a couple of places but came out in clear air.👍 Next 15 laps uneventful. The leaders lapped me somewhere along the line and (boy are they quick). Lap 30 came in for my last pitstop put a set of med tyres on Came out in clean air again. Got halfway round that lap and then the dreaded phrase YOU HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE SERVER.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.This is just a vauge account of what happened as I was unable to save the replay.A very bad evening for disconnections .. Sandman went and I lost my teamate Flood also 👎
wont be able to make the Indi on wed Brett sorry.
 
Sakery- Sounds like you have had a proper smack to the melon mate, you were right not to race although I think you may have been good for 6th/7th. 1st and 2nd were a long way ahead of the rest of us. That lad who knocked you over should be punished mate, a short elbow nexttime you play should sort it :) No worries about indy I knew some of my guys wouldnt make it thats why I opened it up to the indy lads too.

electric- I got hammered in the first corner and ended up last :( your plan worked better than mine (i didnt have one lol). Nice report mate, was a bad one for disconnects 👎
Might see you for some practice tomorrow or friday then.
