Sorry Craig was just doing practice and my bloody wheel clamp has snapped gonna have to get in touch with thrustmaster to get a new one. wont be able to take part tonight.
No problem, Raresch. That's racing. I find it very hard myself to be aware of all cars in the first turns of the race. Maybe VR will help but with my single screen it's alway a challenge.Sorry for John, Pattrick and Fazzi for hitting you in first and second races ... I tried too much in the first race to get John and Pattrick in one corner but understeered massively. Fazzi - Car Radar said it was clear so I thought I have space to take the apex. Saw the reply and I just didn't leave enough room.
Consistency. It's my biggest challenge. I just can't get lap after lap after lap ... There must be a mistake or something ... too eager to race ... maybe I need to slow down ...
No worries Raresch, as Han said above, it was a racing incident.... a slight lock up pushed you a couple of feet offline, otherwise you'd have got us. I was slower in due to Axel taking the inside, Helicorsa showed you at the last moment as I tucked in behind him and I tried to give you a car's width. But most of all, it's great to see you getting so much quicker after all your effort. UnfortunatelySorry for John, Pattrick and Fazzi for hitting you in first and second races ...

So, @Craig Dunkley when do we have the glorious DTM Calibra at the Hockenheim (or any other venue!) event that was cancelled a while ago, well, hm hm? Superb car, selfishly, would love to have a bash with it again.

Yes, I did slow down for you. Because I knew it was somehow my fault, going too fast, understeered into john and then you hit me because I was in the middle of the road. First I saw you on the grass with the nose pointed in the right way, but then I saw you spinned. I just thought it was somehow my fault also, I don't know.I've just watched the replay. Did you slow down for me @ start/finish line? Directly following the crash I somehow managed to destroy my engine, so my race was over. To ensure that I could watch the replay I exited the game. Unfortunately, that means taking off my Oculus/headphones to walk across my room to my PC desk. Obviously I'm unaware of anything that is being said to me. The same applies to gaps between qualification & the race - I hope people don't think I'm being rude when i don't answer - it's down to age & too many mugs of tea
Yes was certainly fun. And what a great overtake from you in that last turn. Very well executed!Was great fun thanks Craig. Pity I couldn't hold it together as had good position in race 1 running 5th for a few laps with Han right up my chuff
