GTX Barcelona

Lost connection in Warm-up ! :( ... Tried to re-join, but I couldn't...

See ya next time ! :)

Engine went while temps @ 78 oil and water :(:(:( The fuel calc was way off and i was on a one stopper while most i guess went two stops by mistke :) due to fueling by garage estimates hihi

Wouldve been a great finish for me...but this game's buggy crap raelly upsets me.

Again when i race R2P server jittery cars all over the place which really ruines the race!

Sam, let me apologise to you. I completely lost concentration whilst taking a defensive line, and went into you, ruining your race. I quit at that point because I didnt think it was fair to carry on. Really sorry.

As for my race; I missed the start completely and ended up 5th from 2nd. Managed to get back up to 2nd behind Sam. I hit a 550 in turn two but it was a nightmare at that point a there was quite a few jittery cars and I think the collision detection was not so great. Ari was behind but at that point I could pull away slightly. I made a mistake and Ari and I swapped places. I caught him and Sam up again and Ari made a mistake and we swapped places again. I had a really fast car under me, but I had no straighline speed compared to Ari's 550 and Sam's Saleen. I was quicker than Sam at this point but there was no way to pass. Then around lap 20 I made a mistake through the last sector and felt I had to go defensive because I knew Ari was pulling 4 tenths out of me on the straight. I completely lost my brake marker and ploughed into Sam who was taking the corner. Very sorry again!

[race ended while i was typing this, so i'm not sure who to congratulate, but congrats to the podium.]

well, it had to happen... my first DNF, but not soon enough in this race, unfortunately.

_very_ sorry to whoever i collected when i lost it at La Caiza. i think it may have been Roman, judging by the looks of his car when i went to monitor.

not sure what happened until i see the replay, but the rear just suddenly came around. i'd plowed badly thru the turn {tires were still cold from a stop} and maybe a rear tire was in the grass when i went down another gear, i don't know. but i know how bad i felt.

gave it another lap to see if it i could hold it together and drive safely to at least finish, but i was just a menace out there so i parked it.

just didn't have enough practice. i couldn't dial in the Lambo and opted for the Saleen yesterday afternoon. it seemed to have good potential but i never found it. my brake duct settings were way wrong and caused all sorts of mischief once the tires let me start running harder.

just a bad day. sorry i made it a bad day for someone else as well.

A very exciting, interesting and hard race for me lol.

i didnt have a setup before race as usual. Made some laps in practice to make a setup. In qualy i made better times i made in practice and only i could get 7th.

In race i was trusting my starts. I made a great start and jumped to 3rd before 1st turn then John hit me from back and i lost control then i found myself at last position lol. Dont be sorry John it happens. I lost hud information after half way like gaps the front and rear guys, just i could see my times.
So i only drove and expected its going well. I planned 2 pit-stops strategy due to fuel calculation and i saw that its wrong in race but i didnt change. I got 6th position after 2nd pit at least i could see it on hud and it said im 4th after race finish and it was saying i was 6th in last lap lol i still dunno what my positon is. I hope not 15th LOL.

I had some contacts while racing but it happens. Sorry if i caused some damage.

that went ok, qualied 12th when i stupidly put the radiator size on 2 and overheated after 3 laps in qualifing.

start wasnt great someone infront of me missed the start and held everyone up. but i got the positions back fairly quickly.
from then on it was quite quiet for me, a few mistakes and a cockup in the pit stratagy.

ended up finishing 8th, but i was amazed i couldnt get anywhere near my practice pace in the race.
had a lot of fun today, definatly gonna do this again :)

cya guys next time

On to my re-cap...As I am listening to AC/DC..."Its long way to the top if you wanna rock-n-roll!!!"
Qualy went so-so, i wont complain, On the the race, I set my strategy up for a 2 stopper because my motec only indicated i could go 31 laps on a full tank :( Start went a bit crazy , The guy in front of me didn't take the green when the lights went out, then craziness in T1, but i didn't seem like there was any carnage, so on to the race that went pretty much un-eventful for myself, i had a couple of bobbles but nothing to get worried over, I got up to 6th and was happy as a clam until i needed my last pit with 17 to go. Take on the crucial parts and liquid and away i go on my final phase and take the checkered with 3/4 of a tank of fuel :( So as on TS i am informed the MoTec is wrong on the national tracks (aarrgghh) Ill take my 7th and a 1.05.451 as my fast race lap and chuck this up to a learning experience.

Refrain..."Its long way to the top if you wanna rock-n-roll!!!"

Congrats to Ari and the podium. I didn't practice until the official session for this one, since the weather outside today in Munich was too nice :) At the beginning of the race I was a bit of a moving chicane but it got better at the end.

I filled the car with 95L thinking that I would have to make a 2 stopper. If I had thought about it more I would have realised that I could have switched to one stop seeing that I pitted on lap 38 or so.

First stint was a disaster. After going up to P10 from P15 I went wide in the first lap, caught up again only to spin when Grecian tapped me during a battle. I was pretty much dead last at that point, and running into the fence a couple of times didn't help. Got onto new tyres and the car turned in so much better that I clipped the inside of a couple of corners and spun again ... But then I got it together and passed some people during their pitstops, and passed Bob Fay on the last lap for 12th. That was a fun battle.

I'm sorry about swerving in front of Jeff's Ferrari lapping me towards the end of the race, I had just gone off and didn't check my mirrors. Hope that it didn't upset your race too much.

If my first race with R2P is the standard for the ones to come .... bring me more. :-) Was very pleased with 3rd place in quali and even more with 3rd in the race. Had some help from misfortunes from others, but those things happen. Knew the fuelcount was fubar and that I would need 2,1L per lap. So a one-stopper. Had a race without any big mistakes and lapping backmarkers went ok. My compliments to all of them. Had a big scare in lap 78 when a lag hit me just before the uphill-chicane. Had about 18 secs to 4th at that point and was left with only 5 when the fps came up again. Grats to Ari on the win and to Janko for 2nd. Cya next time.

No, my heart didn't miss a beat, No sweat, just a situation to react too after 1-15 of driving :)
