[Bjorn de Haas]

tire puncture second race:S and the pits is far away here grrrr great track thats for sure

 

[Bob Miley]

Made up with a 7:50 in quali for 11th (shocked in fact).

Race 1 Enjoyed it, but had to slam on 4 times to avoid people re-joining track (Please don`t hamper someone else after you make a mistake).

Race 2 A lot better, only 1 mistake but still a 7:49 WOW!

Cheers Yves, looking forward to the next.

 

[Mark Birney]

Well, awful to say the least. I was hyped for this race, was really looking forward to it. Was comfortable in the car and at the track. But I got a Bluescreen after no other problems before Practice. Since then, there was lag and a lot of hiccups. I'm sorry if I bumped anyone, was very hard to coordinate the car in the tight field at the start of the races. My apologies.

Thanks for organising, if my PC problems had not been there, I would've enjoyed it more. But there's potential, and I love the car and track

Cheers all!

 

[Cristian Haba]

Great race thanks to the organizers.

Qually
Was a bit nerve wracking it's been a long time since I had raced these cars, and they take a different approach to the GT cars in terms of driving and dynamics. I tried to get the car sorted out quickly with some telemetry, and the result would be P1 in a sluggish 7:18 , some 3 secs off fastest time in the race, I was trying to get the car to behave properly and not push it too much.

Race 1
Sluggish start with low rpm tire spin, but managed to keep P1. Opened up a 1 sec gap a minute into the track and pretty much never looked back. Ryan was threatening with his BMW on the straights, and up the hill, where I lost a lot of time to the M Power car but over all great trouble free race. Fastest lap @ 7:16

Race 2
A bit of drama at the start. I got off the line a little better and was able to make up a few places into turn 1 but being cautions and trying to avoid spinning the car in front of me I had to back off and lost a few positions because of that. P7. From then on it would be maximum attack and I capitalized on mistakes by Ryan and Joao to snatch second place and mounted an attack on P1, with a 3sec gap to it, fastest lap would be 7:15 and the leaders lap 7:17 final gap 1s, P2 would be all for this race.

Great race from my point of view, pretty clean driving up front with some nice gestures so it was great to see the RD of old again. More of this please. GR.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Woot I had so much fun

With Mr Haba, Qualmann, Lennon and Andias around it was always going to be hard work . Got P2 in quali with a little help from a Marchand slipstream.

Race 1 - lost one place off the grid to Thierry. Chopped the nose off Joao a little, sorry for that, I was looking behind to see where you were! . Got a slipstream out of Flugplatz to pass Thierry and, when Andias tapped Thierry at Arteberger and had to wait, I was free to try and reign in Mr Haba. He already had a 3 second lead by now and that was up to 4 when I ran wide at Hohe Acht losing 5 seconds and that was that! Brought it home to finish P2, while Chris did an insane 7:16 lap :shocked:

Race 2 - got a slow getaway but chose the right line into the first corner to come out 7th (I think). There was a little action up front as Braham went off and as I hesitated Chris was through like a shot with a great move - was good racing :thumb:

Tennanto ran wide at Flugplatz so got by him. Now it was Qualmann, Andias, Lennon, Haba and me. Hesitated again as I couldn't see through some smoke whether a car had crashed or not and lost slight touch with Gary and Chris. Chris pulled a great move on Gary to go through and I gradually pulled Gary in. We were nose to tail in the last few corners and I thought I would get a nice slipstream past. However I was too close and with me running slightly more wing than most I couldn't get by! I tried bump drafting him to help us both but that didn't work lol. So I sat behind him all the way down the straight. He made a mistake under braking for the final corners and I was through into 4th. Joao went off at Arteberger (his nemesis today) and I do believe I spotted a car going very fast onto the grass in my mirror the very next corner. I think it was Joao again!

I was hoping to profit on any shenanigans between Chris and Thor who had a sizable gap and kept pushing. Unfortunately I entered Karrussell slightly wrong and I gently rolled onto my roof and the game wouldn't right me! So retirement from 3rd for me.

I had tremendous fun though, love this place, shame we didn't get a completely full grid. Lovely high quality racing all round.

 

[Grant Powell]

Fingers crossed for two then :laugh2:

 

[Stefan Werner]

This should be a regular event. One of the best car/track combos I can think of. Will post my rather eventful report in a while. Got to transplant this baby into its new home curtousy of Lian Li.

 

[Thierry Marchand]

Great event and races

J had the setup defaut because I didnt have too time to make a good of it, in race I didnt have really a good top speed, my car will oversteer too much, the next time J will have a good setup that will learn, sorry
:frusty:

nice fight and good pass with drivers

Thanks RD and all for this event :thumb:

You didnt show up at Paul Ricard. Sorry you cant sign up for this.

 

[Jason Pitts]

This makes me wanna buy STCC.

Ditto for me. This sounds like an awesome way to have fun. Maybe I'll catch one if I don't have to work on a Tuesday and I get STCC. :skywalker:

 

[Rob Goldthorpe]

Lets hope so :becky:

I think it should go to the sexiest!!!!!! Buxton Wins umpkin:

 

[John Sydenstricker]

I made it home in time to join the last 13 minutes of practice and was'nt able to get the car to steer as well as I would have liked. Did'nt matter anyway because I lost my front areodynamics on the 1st lap of both races, so if I did'nt brake hard at each sharp corner I would go off track. And I went off track alot
Thanks everyone it was a nice turnout.

 

[João Andias]

Qualifying (3rd)

I've to say sorry as i think I was the only one not able to do a "short lap"... So everyone had to do an out lap because of that. I tried to rejoin, but didn't solve the problem (too forward in the pit).

The qualify itself went ok, I did a bollocks of the last third of the lap and did lost much time there to the front row guys.
​

1st Race (7th)

Started from 3rd but was bumped from behind right at word go (Dan), right there I lost the rear wing and more importantly didn't notice it...
The rear wing isn't much needed at this circuit on these cars, but it balances the car under high speed braking. Comes the first high speed braking, the car didn't snap to the side I was expecting (no rear wing) and I immediately bump Thierry, he did an instant 180°... I'm very sorry.

What this meant is that I rejoined in the back of the field (22nd)... So from there the race was a blast, I had lots of fun (and action) navigating through the field to 7th.
​

2nd Race (4th)

Started from 2nd and lost/gained place in a few meters so kept 2nd...
Both me and Thor were doing a fast pace 1st lap, but I was too eager to overtake him, so did a mistake coming the garden chicane at the end of the lap and went sideways into the barrier... it served me good, dropped to 3rd and again got some damage, this time in the FL suspension.

That didn't stop me, as I was determined to at least to keep some sort of pressure in Cristian...
As i said above I got FL suspension damage, on the first high speed right hander (FL suspension under pressure) the car demonstrated his instability and I went sideways again losing a few more positions and dropping to 5th now with a 10 km/h speed deficit.

From there I finely calmed my spirit, as I did in 2 very short races too many mistakes... someone dropped near the end (now I remember, Ryan was doing a turtle imitation at the karussell :wink2 and I came 4th.
​

I did this round as I loved the track/car combination (the whistle of the turbo brings me good memories). Had lots of fun, especially in the first race. Thanks everyone who took part, congratulations to the podium finishers and a finial acknowledgment (as usual) for RD and event organizers.

 

[Tyler Scurlock]

Sign me up for GTSport please.

 

[Rob Goldthorpe]

I'm gonna stay awake untill Friday, pressing F5 every 5 minutes

 

[Aritan Maia]

In truth, I'm terrible when it comes to close battles, my strengths lie with consistant lap times, even if they are slightly slower than others (Aritan!!).

That's not true, Chris!!! You had an awesome race at Paul Ricard!!! So hard to keep up the pace with you..
And as the sign up post shows, you're defending the GTC champ!!! Let's have another great race!!!

 

[Yuri Braham]

count me in!
gonna use a batch for the F5 button hehehe
