Let the rumour mill go around :)

I'm full of flu now, but i'll toil away tonight. Long race and 10 laps complete is the cut off mark for full points.
 
That's me every week. Having dinner a little earlier today though, so I should be there for most of quali.

I think it does start at 7, right now it'll just be practice.

I'll be having dinner right after the race... then straight to bed as I have to get up at 4am :grumpy:
 
Sorry for leaving early, but as I mentioned before tonight I have to go to bed early and since my race was ruined on the very first lap by a idiotic move by daiba (you should never rejoin the track at such a slow speed knowing someone is close behind you), and then as my concentration went out of the window I once again crashed at the beggining of lap 2...

Everyone else kept going. 14 Finishers. 2 mental rainstorms. Disappointed myself with 4th after a lead of a minute in the first hour.
 
Well that was a dreadful race for me, nothing seemed to go my way. I was lucky to come 2nd...

Snow on the other hand seemed to have driven a faultless race and totally deserved that win! 👍
 
Sorry Cammy and Daiba for my idiocy at the beginning. I would've gotten 10th or better if it weren't for the rain that started right after I passed the pits and caused my next lap to be 20 minuets long, still on Sports Softs. It actually took me 30 seconds to get around the carousal! :lol: Chris and Cammy passed me, each of them lucky enough to have gotten rain tires BEFORE they passed the pits. I got my revonge on cammy though, and finished a pleasantly mediocre 11th.
So far my best and most enjoyable race. Maybe I can even get back into PT by next season! :D

I was on dries at that point, struggled around only for it to stop before I got off the GP circuit
 
It rained at start JUST as I was down straight and Jammy and Joe had started a lap. Went from 90 seconds back to an 80 second lead :eek:
 
You and Plux are swapping, Plux has start spot for La Sarthe. You are going to reserve. Worth noting La Sarthe is last event he can do.
That's fine. Tbh don't think I'd be comfortable starting a race that long until I know the freezing is gone.
 
Got away cleanly and although I had a little spin at the little carousel, I still held a lead of a couple of seconds after the first lap. It seemed like I was able to extend the lead in the dry, but as soon as it started raining, Lout was slowly gaining on me. I tried to concentrate on not risking too much and just holding the car on the track and that seemed to work very well although once I had a massive spin at Adenauer Forst, miraculously coming away unscathed. Lout was never far away though and by lap 8 still only about 7 seconds were separating us, but then something must have happened to him, because suddenly there was nobody behind me anymore.

I only damaged my car once when the second rain-storm began. I was still on dry tyres and just went wide understeering into the barrier at Hohe Acht, but luckily the impact wasn't too hard and I was bound for a pitstop anyway. After that, it was just bringing the car home to a home victory for Mercedes. With pole and fastest lap (9:29, L2), you just gotta be happy. :cheers:

I think you won by 4_ minutes after Ross had 2 incidents with Camikaze.

Me and @Pluxtheduck and a mental scrap. @CAMikaze may have lost some years off his life after we split him under bridge after the long straight, I had major damage and 180mph countersteering across grass, Plux went 360 degrees and somehow we all made it and I was ahead :lol:
