CCBB MotorSports: Nuerburg Formula 3 '08

Had a decent qualifying, had lots of confidence in the car and could throw her into corners knowing it would stick. Got second, a huge 0.5 seconds off pole.
Top 3 got a great start off the line, felt like I could attack Philpot into turn 1 and pressured him into a few mistakes in the opening laps but he held on.
From there-after it was all about consistent lap times which I had been practicing earlier in the afternoon. This kept the pressure on the leader and the chasers behind me. As a result, the gap widened between the top 2 and the rest of the field.
Was a top race, staying within touching distance of the leader all race is a good morale boost after some of the recent poor results that have come my way.
Congrats all.

I should never try out a setup going into a race. I have been working on one earlier in the day and felt comfortable with it. Then I start seeing setups being shared and I had to try them. Trying them was fine but I really haven't driven them enough to get the feel of them and what to expect. Even using someones setup won't make a whole lot of difference for me and I am always hoping for a setup miracle to make me place better at the finish. In lap 3 I drove up on a higher curb and the car reacted unexpectedly the opposite reaction to my setups and I spun into the wall losing my front wing. I think I will keep my own, I am sure others are better then mine but it is just using them minutes before the race is what makes it difficult to predict what could happen.

I think I hit Ihab in T1 on lap 18, I am not sure, sorry about that. I had a good line that was fast and notice you were moving still and I notice you were facing to wards the outside and I tried to cut in behind you. Lucky I was slowed down enough to just be a hard bump instead of a crash. We lucked out there.

Grats Bradley and Podium finishers, great race everyone. See you all at Sebring Club

yeah Doug, thats the thing, i try to feel if there os one part of car that is better than in mine, like susp, ratios etc.
anyhow, i had damn good race with bad result :D
lots gentlemen on track. tyvm and respects.

Never been a huge fan of this track, just can't get the racing line in spots resulting in slow laps. Qualy was pretty bad trying to figure out a setup slotting in near the back.
I did get a decent start moving up positions. Had a great time battling with Leen De Konig & Alberto Alvaraez in the top 10. Tried holding off Alvarez near the end but my tires where roastin and I had to ease up nealry crashing out at the end.

Just glad to finish here.

I don´t have enough time to prepare setup for this race.
I know the track, but there was no time to training.
For future races I'm not sure if I can drive. If it does come, I will be more like this for fun. ;)

Greetings Podium and others for their participation.

Fun race. I am glad I got to spend some time on the server to practice. Started of running 2:02's then with some laps and setup help got close to competative times.

Race went well, did not quite have enough pace for positions 1-2, and 4-5-6 were catching me as I was being a little inconsistant. Managed to keep from making any big mistakes and was able to bring the car home 3rd. Lots of close racing with Tony/Ihab.

Thanks,
Paul.
