GTX Donington

Hundred litres of fuel aboard, cold Michelins, cold brakes and rammed by optimistic Mr X at T-last on 1st or 2nd lap breaking rearend of my Lambo. You were warned about these things but no.

All I can do is apologize to anyone that my crappy driving affected.I know I`m usually a shitty driver but I feel especially bad when I take someone else out too.Sorry.

It was a great and interesting race for me.

Qualied 2nd and got the lead after a couple of turns in 1st lap. Next 5-10 laps were too tough for me Ari was chasing me and was hard to defend, but then a moment came i entered a group of backmarker drivers and after i passed em i seen that Ari was 5 secs behind me then i started forcing a bit more and increased gap. Every lap i was lapping 2 or 3 guys it was crazy lol.

When i entered pit i was 12 sec front of 2nd guy. But i didnt want to risk 1st position coz i took a bit less fuel than 100 liters which the worst decision i ever made in that race. In motec it was saying i was enough fuel to finish race but lap by lap i realized that in race speed it wont enough for finishing the race so i started to take it easy last 25-30 laps lol decreasing 2-3 seconds every lap and last lap 2nd guy was only 1 second behind me. I increased speed again and won the race but i really felt wet after the race coz i only had 2 liters of fuel when race ends ...

Srry if i hit some1 while lapping

Thx every1 for the race :))

Man that was intense racing for me while it lasted.
the start was very scarey i think most did a good job there seen guys 4 and 5 wide but most still made it that was crrazzyy!

i felt watching practice it whud be worse than what it was.
that many cars on standing starts it was a big jam up there i almost think it was just to many cars but that made it fun also so i dunno what to think really. id like to see rolling single file starts with that many cars it might spread out but you wont see a bunch of guys bunched up and someone get shafted cause theres nowhere else to go.

overall i think most did a good job lots of new faces there for me i was pretty impressed with how clean it was for guys that hadnt raced much together.

Not too bad after yesterday's disco from the GTI race. I qualified shitty...but I always do :) . That fucking 575 gets off the grid like nothing I've ever sim-driven!! I made up at least 5 spots right off the grid and was able to drive it into T1 without anyone giving me a luv tap. Settled into 10th and just drove. Before I knew it, I see a Saleen in my mirror. We get down to it, trying to out-brake each other, really having a go. All the time I'm saying to myself "if this was a GTI race, that Saleen would be Sam Krueger I'm giving fits to". That driver drove me so hard, I burned up my first set right away, so I had to let him by. To my surprise, it was Sam Krueger! Glad I didn't know it was you Sam, I probably would have let you by. Won't think I should let you by so easy anymore :). I made my first mistake letting Ari by, and drove into the grass and hitting the wall, losing my front splitter. So I pitted early, packed her with fuel and continued on. I went back and forth with a few guys, but at the end I was solid in the top 10, and just cruised to save fuel and brought her home. Let's go guys! Get some screenshots up, that first lap should have a few gems in it.

Almost missed the race, was sure start time was 8PM CET so I just managed to arrive 7 minutes before qualifying session was over. Had a nice setup capable of doing 1:02 dead but I couldn't focus in all that traffic so I just did 3 laps which was enough for 6th but I was almost one second behind what my setup was capable of.

Had a cautious start and all went well. After two guys in front of me had a bit of a contact I managed to gain a position and soon after that managed to pass for 3rd. Started to chase Ari and Tolga but the gap was constant and soon I was joined by Grecian who was breathing down my neck for about 3 laps and then finally overtook me braking for turn 1. Then I just settled down and observed a great fight in front of me waiting to pick up the pieces.

Then a major drama happened for Ari and Grecian when they had an accident with a lagging car so I was offered a 2nd place. Tried to close on Tolga but was unable.

Pitted after 39 laps and realized my fuel calculation was short by one lap so I gave new orders to pit guys and they refueled with more fuel. It was a long pit stop and when I came out I was in 4th and soon in 3rd.

Then Ari made a small mistake and I managed to catch him. Couldn't believe his speed after the heavy collision... give those guys in the pits a beer Ari :D. I settled in 3rd and started to think Ari will go all the way to the finish which seemed unbelievable but I didn't have time to really think it over if this is possible because this track is so dynamic and short you have traffic all the time.

Then finally Ari pitted and I was following the leader who was only 11 seconds in front and I was catching him 2 seconds per lap. It seemed like he's stuck behind someone and going into the last lap I managed to catch him. One mistake from him would be enough for my attack. Luckily for him it was the last lap so I couldn't do anything but still it was a nice exciting bonus to finish a race like that.

Great job and thanks to all drivers observing their mirrors when being lapped. It was a pleasure to race with you all.

poor race,got taken out early by alex,who tapped me round after a clean pass:-( made worse by spinning me into pit lane,then much to my amusement i find feckin auto pit is enabled,car lost a bit of speed but managed to pick up a few places but it hadnt loaded fuel,so had to pit again,pushed hard and found a few more places and was settled in 7th with a good gap,but noticed fuel was'nt going to make it so had to pit again,by then top 10 was all i could make,have to say there was some poor form out there, lapped cars with headlights on ,cars blocking for no reason,silly really,it spoiled what could have been a good race.nice 1 tolga.

That was a strange race for me. After starting in 15th, I was able to run clean and pick up enough positions to eventually find myself in 5th somehow. I wasn't there long before someone in a Saleen was all over me, I give him the line and going through the downhill section after T1 I got a tire in the grass and was lucky to not contact the wall when the car sailed cross track and across the grass. I lost several positions and found myself in 9th I think. The rest of the first half was decent, I was slowly catching back up to the guys in front, then when I pitted I was surprised to find another car in my pit stall. After sitting and wasting precious time I finally decided to drive through and try again next lap. The next time around my pitspace was vacant again so I was able to get fuel and tires. The rest of the race was fairly uneventful, I came out of the pits 9th and did my best to not make any more mistake. In the end I finished 7th which is fine with me, congrats to the podium, see ya'll next time.

Well after being punted off course about 4 times in the first 10 laps, i managed to settle into a good rythm for a few laps, but on the s curve before the s/f line i was punted over the tire wall with no way back on course....so b/f and d/q when i was hoping for at least finishing the race, lol.......should be a good replay out of it at least, lmao.......

I managed to improve on my best time in qual by a small amount, still a bit surprised it was clearly good enough for pole.

Tolga got by barely in the start. I kept pressure on him but couldn't find a clear passing chance. Next he was lapping two backmarkers who were lapping a really slow backmarker. This guy slowed down so much that I simply couldn't antipicate it, being a long way behind under approach to Old Hairpin. Right after I hit him, I got tagged pretty heavily from the rear and did some bouncing around. I lost half a minute there and as I got going again, I tried to check what else had broken besides my splitter. Just before pit entry I realized that even my splitter was intact so I was able to carry on without pitting. When I made my regular stop one lap before Matjaz, I was 14 secs behind him. Somehow I gained on him so much that I got by him as he exited the pits - very carefully. Matjaz, I was definitely good to go to the flag from there.

But... 8 laps from the end. I had greatly closed the gap to Tolga due to him saving fuel - from 31 secs during stops to 8. A lag car ahead of me froze up in last turn's braking area. Between us was a Maserati so I couldn't see the problem until the last second. I almost managed to dodge it but a side brush disturbed my braking and I tagged the tire wall. I was positioned very ackwardly, it took me plenty of going back and forth to get going again, after losing nearly half a minute once more.

I got a third place but I suppose I just wasn't meant to compete for the win this time.
