Skoda: Leinz #1

Congrats to all finishers.

I just couldnit finish my race 'cause I crashed in... yes, Pinball Alley. It was all my fault, lost my tire and started bouncing, luckily parked it offroad and no one was hurt.

Before that I could do some laps with no damages, lost my rear wing when in reverse to go back to track after spinning, so I decided to pit in the hope of finishing the race, but some laps later I crashed as I mentioned before.

Cheers.

Apologies to those caught out in my qualifying spill, felt real bad about that when I will be a part timer in the series :-[

But 25th to 5th was a fun and interesting race, plenty of avoidance going on and managed to make it relatively unscathed.

However the post race left a lot to be desired - the worst flaming and language I have ever seen on a R2P event, step away and take a chill pill next time guys!!

Im very angry and disappointed about this events. I had two DNFs, and none of these was my mistake. I think this track is unsuitable to race on it. See you at laguna...

There was a wrecker in this race called "Anthony Michelle". He crashed a lot of people, he turned the wheel when he was side by side with another car. He crashed in the PA in the penultimate or last lap and he stopped his car in the race line on purpose. He waited people to crash them. He's a wrecker. I'm sorry about that. I will tell Tim what happened and he will know what to do.

If you want to complain send me a PM in the next 48 hours describing the incident.

wasn't so much a race as trying to survive.

Got tooken out twice once by someone parked right in the middle of the road and the 2nd time battling into turn 1 i lost the battle. Still managed a 6th spot after crashs happaned more as i kept going. This is going to be 1 interesting series as the first 2 races have shown.

No need for flaming, i was angry to after being taken out on the 2nd race but that happans. See you all next week.

Yeh I agree with Nick, after the race everyone was very quick to insult someone. I heard (or read) some shocking language that I don't usually see on R2P in a derogatory way. A lot of people DNF (sometimes other people being involved wasn't avoidable) and like Matt said, it was more like 'Last Man Driving' than a race.

Other than that my first race was screwed up cos of my PC, and someone spun me but they shouldn't receive any penalties or take any blame as it wasn't their fault. I also sustained some damage later on after hitting someone in Pinball Alley. I pitted for damage but when I exited the pits I assumed I'd better serve a drive-through in case, but I crashed later in the lap and failed to reach the pits.

Second race went better, I stayed on track and only pitted from damage once. In fact, that was the time I was trying to catch up to one driver with 30 laps' fuel! I was setting some good lap times too so I was well impressed. A few drivers had their races cut short unfortunately but I took advantage and finished 11th.

See you at Laguna guys, will be a much better race!

It would appear Mr Michelle has left us now.

Sad, but we all know that wreckers happen. It still doesn't excuse some of the post-race comments...

I was having a pretty good race until about mid-way. Set a new PB and was tucked up behind Barney thinking about where to make a move...thought too hard and crashed in the obvious place.

Even worse, Alfredo was right behind me and had nowhere to go...nothing worse than taking out your teammate and yourself in one go, really sorry Alfredo.

Qualified in 2nd so was happy as this track is a mare as you all now know. Fernando was out in front so stuck with him and managed to make a move then he lost it on the corner before pinball alley. This gave me a gap of 3 secs to 2nd so just drove it home from there staying out of trouble the best I could.

Thanks to the back markers for moving over apart from Ricketts, not sure if you saw the blue flags but you must have seen me on the mini map at the bottom of the screen. You seemed to give me room on the inside then closed the door ooof. Made it an interesting finish after that incident although my lead was still big enough not to panic.

Race 2 was starting in 8th so it was going to be harder. Followed Pablo for a while before a few incidents gave me gaps and was able to climb to 2nd. Coming into the final corner with Segade the leader when he lost it so I go by but he bounces off the barrier and takes me off as well. Not on purpose I know but that then put me back down to 7th so had to start all over again. Had some good fights climbing back up again with Pablo until he lost it near the final corner so again I just tried to drive it home. Once again thanks to all the backmarkers for moving over :)

Guys one thing though this is Race2play not some open server full of nooobs. Lienz was never going to be easy, I have raced it enough to know that it can be a lottery but the language after the race was not on. If you guys want that sort of racing then go somewhere else this is not how it is done here. I know we have alot of new guys who joined to get the NAGT mod and are now racing with us which is good to see however please calm down and stop the language. Well all get frustrated at times but as others have said take a deep breath. Ok rant over good racing and cu next time :)

Had a poor start stayed clear of other peoples problems was looking good for a 6th place finish until pinball lap 17 when a car being lapped caused an almighty smash ending the race for a few people but that,s just racing guys some you win some you don't

Congrats to Dave who did the double very well done mate!!

Lets see how you do with some weight on board :)) huh will still kick my butt no doubt lol
