Sports Car Championship

Great ... worked hard for this one and it all ended with a gamefreeze on the startinggrid. Still pissed about that.

Chose to sleep in instead of race. One of my better decisions in the past few weeks. I shall make it next time.

Well I lasted an hour and it was fun while it lasted. Thought I had fixed my connection problems, then it's sound crashes, then display crashes, it feels like I'm trying to bail out a sinking boat with a fishing net.

FFFFFFFF.....DAMN! THAT SUCKED. Game locked up on me once again. True disappointment. All I wanted to do was finish in the top 10 and was well on the way to that. 3 laps into the last stint....BAM. Locked up. This sucks.

No prep and took the Saleen which I have very little time in. Grabbed an old setup and tried to get up to speed in 15 minutes.

Was really off what I expect but okay 8th on the grid isn't that bad considering the field. Got a easy position to 7th when GP dropped out, sorry George that sucks. Cristi went off at T2 but made a brave move around the outside of 3. I managed to pull out some on Barry then made mistake number one and gave away all my advantage and gave Barry my position.

Dennis and Pablo where right there too and soon Pablo passy Dennis and caught me, I gave him an easy pass because I was really slow. I caught back up to Barry and he dove for the pits on lap 10, surprised the hell out of me.

Rest of Stint 1 was uneventful other than some really poor driving on my part. Pitted lap 26 and rejoined the fight. Stint 2 was pretty good for me but I didn't have any position changes although I was catching Barry up pretty quickly late in the stint. And Cristi was not a lot further up the road, I was hoping my planne short fuel stop would help and was considering changing to soft fronts since I had no temp in the Med.

Pitted lap 50 and made the quick change to Soft fronts and was pissed when the crew through in 100 liters, really poor communication with my crew chief :(

Soft were great for about 6 laps, then the balance was gone and I could see that I would have to preserve the wear as much as possible. Then with about 15 laps to go my brake pedal started giving me signs that it would fail soon. The pot starts to hang and I could feel it getting worse. I drove very cautiously trying to keep it in it's slot. As a result I ended up racing with Omar for the remainder of the race. Sorry Omar, I hope I didn't cost yu a position:( Somewhere in there Barry disco'd handing me 6th. To bad Barry I think you would have gotten that position easily the way I was driving stint 3.

So then Krueger has his issue while leading and I get another position to 5th. Not bad considering I was well off the pace.

Grats to Ari, Pablo and Heinz.

Not at all Kent.. :) I was 40 secs. off of 9th. place... Beginning was kind of scary trying to avoid appearing cars in front of me and was able to avoid pretty much all of the carnage, but took a bit of damage and car felt little loose... My pit crew was in lala land...I requested to pit just right at T-1, then when I came into pits nothing happened while in 9th. So, I went out again and lost 40+ secs...I think the radio was damaged... :) A Top 10 is always welcomed when racing against the cremme of the crop of R2P... :) Stellar racing by the front runners... See ya next time...

I secured the pole on my last lap, a very good time for me but of course I was way behind Pablo until he had to rejoin.

Start wasn't quite the best, but Samuel was slower away and I got a two-second gap on the first lap. During stint 1 the gap to Samuel was around that, sometimes a little less. No surprise therefore that I lost the lead as we pitted on the same lap.

During stint 2 I was chasing and our pace was fairly similar. A few problems with lapped cars caused me to lose chunks of time. During the last stint the gap was 4-6 seconds until Samuel had some kind of problem and was stranded in the gravel.

It was a great race with Samuel, unfortunately it ended in an anti-climax.

I was looking forward this race because I love the lambo handling and I had a very good setup for the GP layout since last year.

I had the pole, I make a 1.44.2 in my first and single lap, and it was a conservative lap because tires were still cold. Next lap were improving 2 tenths in 1st sector when the power supply of my house fall down two consecutive times and I couldn't rejoin in time to make a lap.

I started to scream about the guys of the electrical company, not nice words :S

The start was a carnage, congratulations to the brain that decided to do a standing start in a 2:15 hours race...
I hit the Pol's stopped car, and then another car hit at me back. My car was highly damaged, I had massive understeer, I start to scream again xDD

I try to change my strategy and make a short second stint in softs at front to solve the understeer. All the race was a agony, the car was a shit but the result was quite good. Last 20 min were endless, I was very very tired, I think: "the fucking race will never finish?"
Congrats Ari and all finishers

Congrats guys.
I followed the traffic into the pileup and cut a tire on some debris. Got going again after the pit in 19th a lap down. Got passed into last and then got lapped again, so I just quit. Should have slept in, I woke up and got on the server, fell asleep again and woke up with 2 mins left in Q!! Dissapointing, I cruised and tried to play it safe through the mess and avoided any hard contact but a random wing cut my tire, totally bogus.

Good race for me, and considering the standard of drivers in here I was very pleased with my result, I honestly thought I would be good for being in the last 5. Had a great battle with Dennis M for most of the race, good racin m8.
Apologies for holding Ari up, I didnt get a blue flag m8 so didnt realise I was being lapped and was conentrating on my battle with Dennis.

I must admit my disapointment in some guys disregard of R2P rules though, especially considering this is supposed to be racing by the very best drivers in R2P, ignored punt rules, driving with lights on and the one that really pissed me off as we did discuss it prior to the race was using the pit lane with all 4 wheels over the line to enter T1.
