This was round 1, we also allowed late qualifying in round 5.
Somewhere in the thread Eddie said it will be the same Q rules as CALM and JGTS.
It looks like the rules weren't updated though.

I assumed it was, he probably just missed it in a copy and paste.đź‘Ť
 
Once the track is changed the room is bugged.I have tried changing all of the rules combo's to fix a room and nothing works.

What is the point of the "track reset" anyway? I dont know what the logic behind that is.
Can't recall, and it usually isn't needed.
 
Perfect timing :banghead:

Be there soon was day dreaming while watching the ALMS on Motors TV, that Viper :drool:.
 
The power flickered several times about 15 minutes after the race was scheduled to start so I made the right call to sit out.

Congrats to dom
I feel for Alex, disconnected on lap 29.
On my screen paulmac doesn't show up, he finished 2 seconds behind greyfox, I believe.
A bit of a disaster for me.
Onto next week at monaco
 
I had a great race lag dispeared after 1 lap as per annoyingly.. A bit disapointed as I had Gray all lined up then braked too late and lost 2 secs gathering it up. Also lap 3 or 4 Josh spun and I had to take a trip through the gravel which cost me 10-15 secs. Other than that was a great fun race :).

(Twist I finished 1:01.9xx off the lead)
 
My apologies to Josh. Got loose in the hairpin once only, and it had to be when someone was close behind....
 
It's ok , Sorry to Paul and da6 , I tried to move but i thought it would be better to not move on a hairpin so sorry :(
 
Yeah it's ok Josh, I was wide already I thought I'd hit you if I tried to drive to the inside so to avoid damage to us both I jumped into the gravel as 10-15 sec loss is better than 35+ with damage and an extra pit :).
 
Josh and Alex DC'd, Paul disappeared... Strange, what happened guys?
Pag was the host, right? There are usually no problem when he's host iirc.
 
Yes, looking back, it was an amazing race. Such a shame I lost my tyres (and then DC'd) because I think I was quick enough to challenge for the 2nd or even 1st place. Not easily, of course. But I can say without a doubt that I did a very very good race today. With zero mistakes, basically. But then, Engine blow up :( *sigh*.

Paul was on mine. Pag was host, room seemed perfectly fine to me.

I pushed like hell hoping you guys would run out of rubber , since I didn't have a pace advantage at all.
You both ran great races , as I said to Adventuruss, race me like that 10 times and you'll probably beat me 9.
I had a perfect setup for the car and got an all-but perfect race.
 
Dave were you able to get the replay up?

Do you mean to watch on my ps3 or to the online storage?
I will try to view it later, it was very strange. I remember Paul saying all go ahead on the formation as he was suffering from lag.I presumed he had left the race, due to the lag. I wonder if we ever crossed paths during the race. Did I show up on your screen paul?
 
No and annoyingly the lag only happened for around half of the formation lap but was bad enough to risk damage to me or others. I stayed back a few laps just to make sure it subsided and I never had a smidge of lag again in that race lol. It's possible we may have but if you were infront of Joshes cars when he spun we may have managed to avoid each other due to different strategies.
 
Oh ok :lol:. All I seen was a car spun and one offtrack assuming he hit you, sorry ;).

Also I'll give an advanced notice that I won't be at the finale on the 25th at Suzuka, I'll be at Knockhill for the BTCC :D. Will be taking my car this time since my step dad is in a fishing comp and will take the van down friday night and meet us there :dopey:.

I will also be missing the Suzuka race. Flying to Corfu on the 20th for 24 days, woohoo.

That stinks. I'm pumped for Suzuka. Love that track and enduros.

Grrrrr I didnt ;) , earliendur span in front and I couldn't avoid him :P

It doesn't matter either way, but I didn't actually spin until I got the tap, which I know you couldn't avoid given the proximity - I was already groaning and swearing inwardly as soon as I started catching the slide, like waiting for the crunch a moment before an accident. If I was alone there, I just would have lost a second or two while I waited a heartbeat for the tires to stop screaming and I could point and squirt for a slow exit. I lost something like a minute instead for heavy damage plus the pit stop, and affected other's races too, which doesn't sit well with me. Again, my apologies, not a great moment to make a careless entry :yuck:.

Eh, mistakes happen. When did you pit? After pitting for the damage on lap 4, I made only one more stop. I think it was on lap 18.
