Fun race but I really need to fix my brake pedal. If I press it on full it's OK but when I slowly start to release it becomes a random experience, giving me different outputs despite the same amount of press on the pedal. That's not so much of a problem at most of the tracks but here that was my biggest problem going into the turn 1 when you really need to trail brake deep into the corner. I got surprised a couple of times when I felt my brake was not doing what I told it to do... quite scary feeling and with Claus at your back it doesn't help at all. The turn itself is so difficult for overtaking that I could block every single one who wanted to pass me there but I decided not to so Ari and Janko made an easy pass. Finally I clipped some sand which was enough to disturb my car big time and I smashed into the wall heavily. It's "contact spray" time again for my pedals I guess, hoping this will solve the problem like it usually does... :D

Connection lost... second time in a row!!! I checked my internet connection and it was alive, I just lost connection with the server. This is getting a bit annoying. :(

Comfortable lead and just when I started to think this is way to perfect, something will certainly go wrong... BANG!!!... lost connection.

Nice win but I guess some faster guys were not in the fastest cars so they made it easier for me. Start was nothing special from me but it was still enough to have a clear entry to the first corner. I had almost perfect car, really enjoyed driving it on the limit for the first few laps when I had quite some preassure from behind, especially as he was using the curbs quite heavily in the first corner (I was observing it in my mirrors). I then managed to slowly pull away, I think it was abot 10 seconds when I was about to make a pit stop and that was really important because my Lambo was a bit thurstier than expected + my guys were being very optimistic, telling me to come in next lap. My fuel gauge went to 0 one corner before the pit entry so I just crawl to the pits hearing my engine was about to cut off while I was driving towards my pits with my speed limiter on. I then had to change my fuel strategy and told the guys to fill it up all the way so my pit stop was very long, more then one minute, which was enough for me to almost lose my lead. Again I had to push 100% to pull away and to be able to cruise back to the finish in the last few laps as my lead was more then 10 seconds.

Superb racing from all !

I signed up for this race jut before the start after not being able to practice for my GT/NGT race at Brno. I have plenty of miles under my hat with BMW here at Brno so I decided to give it a go.

There's not much to say about the race really. I was in the lead from start to finish with no pressure from behind so I was not pushing 100% trying to preserve the car which felt great. Medium tyres were spot on with "tyres warn" signal just as I was heading for my first and final pit stop.

Nice racing from all competitors, server was fine as well.

That was the most interesting, action packed race in my racing career!!! What a battle for 4th position... pure racing heaven!

I had a superb car but David must have been using a really low rear wing setting so he was way faster on straights. He was lacking speed on slower parts of the track but it was just to risky to try anything there. As I was chasing him I managed to brush a standing (lagging) car so my car had a bit of a damage but it wasn't to bad. Then I got some help from a backmarker and I was able to pass David for 5th. Just as I was beginning to catch Ari in 4th and was opening a gap towards David I was suddenly joined by Scott who recovered from a spin. I overtook him but he fought back and managed to pass me and then attacked Ari who seemed to be struggling on some parts of the track + there were some backmarkers racing him so we were all able to catch him completely. From then on it was pure racing heaven, trying to pass Ari and at the same time trying to lap drivers who were having their own battles as well. Don was again the toughest to be lapped and at one point he had a spin, went off track and back on right in front of me so we collided but luckily it was a slower part of the track so I managed to slow down and there was no major damage for me. Then Ari was a bit wide coming to the last corner and I managed to pass him with some late braking but he carried a better speed on the S/F straight so I decided to stay on the left side and since that was not a racing line I was completely sideways going into the turn 1 but I somehow managed to catch a car after a very long slide :). Still I lost 2 positions to Ari and David who again joined the battle from the back. Then David attacked Ari after some bad acceleration out of the slow right hander and went by. I was also carrying much more speed so I decided to pass as well and that was really close but I had the inner line and was beside Ari who was being a though but fair driver as usual so there was no incident. For the rest of the race we were having a constant battle with David but he somehow managed to stay ahead of me.

Crazy race and I really must watch the replay again. :D

A win I didn't expect at all after losing a lot of time in the pits when guys decided to refuel my tank despite my orders not to.

Qualifying was tough for me. I just couldn't get one single clean lap so I was more then 1 second off the pace and that was enough for 5th starting place.

Start was superb for me after using a clutch button for the first time :). A bit of lag (stuttering) in the first corner and small contacts but we all survived. Cold tyres were tricky for me and after a big power slide I lost position but gained it back in the next lap and then started to catch a group of 3 drivers. Soon one of them got tapped and I was left with Janko and Tolga. They were fighting as hell and at one point Janko spun Tolga and he decided to wait and give a position back to him. I suddenly found myself in front of both of them and that didn't feel right to me so I decided to give a position back to both guys including Janko. I know... what a stupid thing to do and Janko gave me a little push not knowing I was off the racing line and slowing to give him a position back... :D:D

Well soon we were back to normal with Janko again trying to overtake Tolga so I decided to make a pit stop and gain some time on both of them with fresh tyres. But I was amazed to see my guys trying to refuel so I had to cut off my engine and they added a very small amount of fuel.

I rejoined and was pushing as hard as I could to gain time on fresh tyres and after all the rest made their stops I had a 3 second lead. I then pitted for the second time and again I had to cut off the engine and this time they add a lot of fuel despite my orders before the race not to add fuel at both of my pit stops. I guess I should have checked my pit board and change orders I didn't give.

I was really disappointed after that because a lot of time was lost and I was sure I had no chance to fight for the win after this fiasco. Then Tolga received a drive through penalty and soon after the second pit stops were completed and I was again leading the race. I had no idea what happened so my guess was other drivers had similar problems in the pits or something. Anyway my lead was 9 seconds and that was enough for me to bring it back to the finish and taking a very unexpected win. :)

Got hit in first turn by a spinning car, tried to rejoin and I was sure everyone passed but I was wrong so I drove directly in front of Paul... sorry for that, luckily it was not a big hit. I DNF's myself to save time to the race stewards.
