Oschersleben '07 WTC '06

sorry for the weird driving tonight guys, friggin brake pedal was playing up and coming on hard even when my foot was nowhere near it so i retired very early.

Great start and good first corner around me nice one guys, moved up into 6th by the second corner. Had fun defending Glyn wow pressure! :)

Now comes the same problem with the tyres when they just dropped of the cliff and i spun back into 8th it was.

Then a complete wreck of a car and race, must report.

13th thinking why bother with this farce.

Carried on then the pits came out 17th just wow! Then came a good battle but again be careful when u make mistakes, as for the touch think i was fair to stay and i shouldnt have stopped but i did...

So not a great race at all, but thanks to the few whom i enjoyed a bit of time with.

Seems like no matter where I start in this series I'm always going to be around P5-6, and it was the same again. Thumbs up to all for a very clean first couple of corners on the horrible Oschersleben layout, much cleaner than they have managed in real life!

From then on, I was feeling very comfortable the opening 10 laps, looking after the tyres, closing the gap to the leaders, easily staying with P5-6 and moving up when others made mistakes. Then I ran a touch wide at turn 5 and fell off track, losing 5s, then lost my rhythm. Car just understeered everywhere as I took just too much speed into corners. I then damaged it at the fast chicane on lap 13, so had to go into the pits (I wasn't planning on stopping).

After pitting, rejoined with Michael Virt and Mattias Norling, and apart from passing those on very worn tyres, the scrap was between us three. Michael escaped eventually, while both me and Mattias made one mistake each, swapping positions both times. It got very close on the last lap, but I just held P6 on the line.

Got home a few mins before the race started and jumped in not expecting much and I guess I was right but I enjoyed it never the less.
I got a good start from 23 to 16 then got it wrong at the chicane and ended up last! From this mistake I got a puncture and headed to the pits but did not hit the pit limiter early enough so got a stop and go!!

Saw Andy catching so I decided move over and brake for the right hander under the bridge to let him take the corner. I braked too hard and locked the front wheels and slid right across the corner and hit him so apologies Andy I was trying to let you go before the bend.

Was behind Nelson trying to finish the race on the same set of tyres but his grip had gone so I followed him for lap after lap as I did not want to dive up the inside as I was last anyway. He eventually let me unlap myself as I had newer tyres so thanks Nelson.

Even though I was at the back I had a good one.

Cheers guys

Had great time with this mod. I don't do R07 much so I thought I mite get by with no stop. About the 10min mark I was on ice and hit the pit. NoQ to 16th lotta fun.
