Great race at Spa, guys! A little more drama than I was hoping, but I still had lots of fun.

I had a decent qualifying run, but that all went away when I got hit in turn 1 at the start. @stg was that you? I'm not mad because I know it was an accident. I'm just wondering. Anyway, I fought HARD for that 5th place finish. It was crazy with all the strategy and catching up I had to do.

---Thanks to ALL who participated in this GT3 Club event!

-Thermite & ahojekk, I watched the replay & reviewed your incident. I think it was simply an accident on both parties account. Thermite, you thought ahojekk saw you & ahojekk thought no one was there, these things happen all the time in racing. NO PENALTIES will be handed out to either of you. My suggestion is, next time, just give the position to the car that qualified ahead of you for turn 1. (i'd like to thank both of you for finishing the race!, great drives!)

--- The race went GREAT for me!, I did make a slight fuel mistake witch resulted in a 3rd pit-stop & losing my podium position!, but I had a lot of fun! Congrats to Zeroduck who put together another great drive & took the win in CUP Race #1.

-- Thanks to ALL new comers & public players who gave this event a try & finished! great job!

• Points, Transfers & Results coming soon!

First of all great race, a completely new experiance for me, never drove an endurance race online.

Training was good, 2:15:1xx so I knew I can get below 2:14 coz I messed up the last chicane on that lap. But yeah I made a mistake in every of the qualification laps and ended up with 2:15:5xx, anyway I wouldnt probably catch that time of Zeroduck.

The start from 2nd, like always not my best thing and ended up struggeling, starting od mediums and in the first corner I've hit a R8 (@Thermite yeah it was me), I wasnt expecting another car there, and we did touch, still I was surprised we got dmg for that... That was barely a touch and boom right front damaged, and I said to myself if I go to the PITs then Im done too much time to lose, so I decided to stay struggeling and grabbing 2:16 times, wasting those mediums a bit, still it got me far from Zero but I did run away from the 3rd guy by about 10 secs. Then I've grabbed a spin, and lost bout 7 secs, came to the PITs and made my biggest mistake, seeing how it did end, this cost me the win.
I made a fuel mistake and yeah... it was too low, I did run out before the tires were bad, were scoring 2:16~2:17 on them still, so I could probably go for 3 laps more and then take mediums for last 16 min of the race but I did ran out of fuel. But yeah I had to go for another set of hards, and grabbed 2 more stupid spins costing me a lot...

Still Zero deserved the win the most, he was the fastest, and the chance I got , was justbecause some lapped cars wanted to race the leader.... and damaging him sending him for another pit stop.


@gurizzi great lobby, great race, and great experiance for me, I shall be "smarter" for the next races on how to work a strategy out. Pity I had little lags in the mid race, probably 16 ppl race from US isnt so good for my weak Polish connection ;D


Looking forward to the next race. I shall prepare a photo report if I find time for that !

Well that was my first endurance race online and it was brill. I thought I was ready for a podium finish after 20mins as I was holding 3rd place well so pitted in to change tires and re-fuel only to press the gas pedal and fit the same tires, not to worry tho I thought its gotta be a two stopper due to my RM tire wear.

So running in 7th for another 20mins decided to pit again only to misread/not read the refuelling info correctly (read laps not litres) and proceeded to fuel my car with 18 litres as we had completed 16 laps by this time lol.

Yeah awesome move as I ran out of fuel with about 9mins to go which sealed my race position to last, 10th place.

Never the less I really enjoyed the race and learnt a lot about pitting in, tyre selection and endurance racing ;-)

See you all next Sunday

Thx

---Hello, mg.

Great race & report!. Not to worry, we have ALL accidently pressed select too quick on the pit-menu, that's frustrating!, then you misunderstood the fuel! oh! haha, well you had an eventful pit-stop. I'm sure your crew-chief & pit crew will ALL learn from their mistakes & perform much better @ Race #2!!! 👍

-- Thanks for participating in this GT3 Club event!, see you next Sunday!

Gurizzi,
I really don't have much to talk about that dramatic in my race accept I just tried to keep it clean and consistent. I did watch the replay and my hat goes off to Thermite. It was the last 2 laps, I was in 5th behind you Gurizzi running 4th I'm rounding the first corner and I noticed Thermite coming out of the pits in 6th he drove Like A Bat Out of Hell to catch me those last 2 laps to get 5TH place . ( "LOL" I just don't think he wants to get beat by the old man, I'm 56 years old)


LOL means "laugh out loud" right anyways


THAT WAS A FANTASTIC RACE!!!

Hi gurizzi,
Me and Edie Ltu will not race on Sunday ( very minor loss ). Is there any chance to do the races 2-3 hours later? In uk its at 4 pm so you can not do much if you want to race because the race is in the middle of the day. Was really looking forward to it because i found where i was loosing so much time. I upgraded the car to the max and limited the power ( is it ok?) That gives another 2s per lap. ZERO watch your mirrors )

Hello, zilva & Edie.

I'm sorry to hear you guys can't make the race. Any loss is major! I would like to adjust the start time for you guys but I don't think that's fair to the others who have already signed-up. I have been noticing that the start might be better if moved back a little. Next Sunday(Race #3) we should decide on new start time. I think we can move it back about 2hours. We can sort it all out next week. Once again, sorry you guys can't make it, especially when u guys got the track vote you wanted....

--- You can add ANY mods. you want to your car, some people prefer no turbo, no upgrades on the engine, but your welcome to add it if it works for you. Glad you found some time!, but I'd still 'pump ur brakes' on catching Zeroduck . Hope to see you two next Sunday! Lets aim for about 6pm London time, how does that sound for Race #3?
