thanks @Dennis Phelan

man was that a long race qualified 3rd place had a good start as well manage @Chark on the second or third lap then found myself leading after @Reik Major had to make an early stop but the battle only just started couldn't pull away from chark in the first stint the gap always around a second until the first stop I pitted earlier then chark managed to stay in front after he pitted the gap at 4 seconds but chark soon closed the gap after I was battling to get passed backmarkers soon the gap was back to around a second until the final stops chark pitted one lap earlier and overtook me when I pitted and had no chance to catch him was a really nice hopefully we can do this again sometime

Nice race Chark look forward to racing against you again soon :)
 
I had only one spin and put a couple of wheels off once, for a 90 minute event that isn't bad for me. For some strange reason fuel didn't get me the laps I expected and had to put a bigger bucket in for one stop. In general, my laptimes were actually better than I had been practicing for but of course still not on par. I have a lot of work to do on car setup so I don't punish tires and have more control.

For some reason, over reving while in neutral or whatever, towards the end of the race I could not get to redline and found myself in the wrong gear many times. While concentrating on that problem I missed a few of you guys coming up behind in the very last laps of the race. Sorry for not moving over appropriately when you came up on me.

This seemed very much to be a good race for everyone but Lorenzo and Lars. Next week will be a 40 minute event with the Mini's(soon to be posted).

Thanks to all of you for signing up!

In!
Minis in GSC are, if possible, even more fun than they were in Race07 :cool:

Btw, @James Grant and @Nobkins , if you're looking to gain some experience, the Minis are a great offering.
Not much power, so the pace is a bit more sedate, and they're very forgiving of driver-errors so you can more or less chuck 'em about to your hearts content.
I certainly aim to. :D

That was fun :)

Qualy: i took fifth spot on the grip which is not so bad.

Race: Had a good start and i was able to grab 4th place safely at T1, to my surprise i was able to keep up with @Craig Patteson and @Chark for a few laps while @Reik Major was getting away from us, then a few laps into the race a saw Reik going into the pits not sure why he went so early but that made me the third place holder. from there since i knew i wasn't able to catch infront i managed my race to be able to finish third which is what happened.
 
Plenty of stuff to say, so bear with me! :)

First and formemost, congratulations to everyone who finished! I know some of you were a bit alone on track by moments, so that's an even better achiviement to get the motivation and courage to get to the end of it.

That was an amazing race. Qualified second, a bit of battling with @Craig Patteson who managed to pass me early. Then I was torn between attacking and stepping back to save fuel. As he said, we were a few seconds away all race long. There was no way passed, as he drove fantastic laps defending his position without losing much time. I knew then it would be all on strategy. Two stints with a full tank allowed me to do a fast last splash and dash, rejoining the track in front. That race really had everything an endurance race should have in it: strategy planification, consistency, traffic, tyre management... I think we could have benefitted from a larger grid, but I still really enjoyed that.

Also, I remember someone said it was their first race with these cars (sorry can't remeber who) and was worried to be in people's way. But I had absolutely no problem whatsoever when it came to lapping anyone! :thumbsup: Just remember, when you're about to be lapped, hold your line (or show clearly that you leave it), and release the throttle a bit. But you should never forget: even if happen to be a backmarker during a race, it's also the other's car responsibility to pass you cleanly.

Then, big thanks to @Reik Major for sharing his setup, I think it almost shave off one full second on my lap times. That parc fermé thing was weird, as I think most people could add fuel after qualification. Jump on TeamSpeak next time so we can help you more easily! ;)

And last but not least, well done @Dennis Phelan for putting such a nice event! :) The car and track felt like they were meant to each other. I'll see you guys next time!

That was me Chark. Glad to hear I managed to stay out of everyones way. I was upto to 4th at one point but glad to finish with just 2 spins along the way.

Only been doing driving sims for approx 3 weeks when I could not resist a G27 wheel I saw on sale. This was my first multiplayer league race. I used to do driving sims on a home made steering wheel using parts taken from an old joystick back when on-lien multiplayer did not exist in any game. You had to send in your results so they could be compared to everyone elses individual races.

The 1st time I drove the track was 1 hour before the race. I bumped into Dennis who was setting up the server and he gave me some excellent help and I was able to follow him round the circuit for a lap or two whilst he gave me pointers via teamspeak.

Very glad to finish the race. I was alone for a large chunk of the race but I still enjoyed it a lot. A bigger grid might have allowed me to actually attempt to pass a few people where as I only ended up defending (badly) for a few laps in the 1st 1/4 of the race.

Regardless I shall be joining again and look forward to more races of similar length. Hope they are planned! I find the 20 mins races a little too short.
