WEGT: Brno

Well... The thunderstom got me... not the one on the game either.... Pretty gutted as I was really enjoying this even though the concentration level was ridiculous due to the trerrible weather conditions on track ;) Oh well, Ill put this down as a engine failure and ill get some new engineers...

Cut out right infront of a gt2 car so I hope I didnt effect you to much, I think you managed to stay on track, I had no idea I warped out till I was back on amongst a pack of gt2's... All I heard was CRAAACCKKLLEEE (< thunder noise.. ) and then bright lights and then about 30 seconds later I get a disconnected sign...

Still made about an hour, really really enjoyed this one guys, this is a real series for sim racers huh ;) I just love endurance racing with differnt classes on the same track, its the art of overttaking fast for the gt1s and to be overtaken fast in gt2s ( which I think is harder! ) and I hope I done alright overtaking... I rember one time I stuck it down the inside of a gt2 car and was a bit late and although we both got threw I slowed us up a bit, and im very sorry for that. But apart from that I think I did ok.

I cant wait for the next one guys, Laguna huh? Thats going to be great fun, I hope I can make it.

Take care all, hope your races went better than mine, I know some of you didnt make it pass the rolling lap without a d/c which is always a shame.

Same as Ben. Stormy out here, but at least I got disco'd in formation so it won't count as a DNF, and not much time wasted either, although it was really wet on the track and I enjoyed driving in those conditions alot...

See you at Laguna.

Unlucky to those who disco'd, hell of a race for me.

No chance of keeping up with Sam, and Anton was obviously quicker, but was surprised when he pitted twice after 1hr 20.

Thought I would get him purely on one less pit stop, but then the rain stopped and Anton dived straight in for tires, I could not afford to wait and decided to go with medium slicks.

Made some time up by not changing them at the final stop, but I was not going to hold him back and eventually Anton got me, well deserved to as obviously the faster driver.

Great work by the NGT guys in terms of passing, took a couple of risks at the end as I desperately tried to catch 2nd, apologies if I scared anyone.

My only hope was Sam would be so bored a lap ahead he would crash.... not to be, great run there Sam.

Ben:

I was fine, but holy crap did that scare me. One second I'm cruising in turn 1, the next Ben's Saleen is suddenly right next to me! Then he disappears, then reappears in the middle of the track!

Luckily, the game didn't register him as actually being there, so I passed through Ben with just a little bump.

Race went well for me up until the final hour when I started to doubt if I had enough fuel left to make it to the end. I lost a position to John Onofrey thanks to having to short-short shift. Even with the short shifting I wasn't going to make it, so I had to dive into the pits with 20 minutes to go for a splash of gas.

Long race. My knees crackled as I stood up, and hurt quite a bit. :)

Well, I got a gift on this one. Joco clearly had me outpaced but with his formation lap disco, I had to concentrate on keeping the car on track for a podium finish.

T1 I got passed as I had to allow the faster GT to have the inside line and with my hard fronts I just pushed really wide and someone got inside of me in a nGT car. It was short lived and I got the lead back before the end of lap one then began to start gapping. By the end of hour one I had 30 seconds and with the pace being slowed by all the rain I could see I would be able to make a one stop race.

Things started drying out my last few laps before pitting so I decided to make a tire compound change and took inters. They worked great for while but they were wearing out too fast and I could see they would not last the 30+ laps I needed them to last. I also drove a very fuel conservative pace thinking it would be close with the increased pace we were now running.

With about 45 minute to go I dove in for Med slicks and no fuel rejoining just ahead of David and I thought we have a race to the finish but I was able to drive away to the win.

Feeling pretty rusty with the lack of racing I have been doing, so I need to find some time to get back into some of the new series. Now if I can just get the wife to stop planning outings :P

I big congrats to Krueger for a dominant win but mostly for finishing :P hehe

Grats to all that competed, see ya at Laguna.

Sorry was out for the day and thought i would get back in time for race but i didnt...

First off unlucky to Joco the pole sitter who got a disco on the formation and was clearly in a class of his own!

And poor George too in the race, all the work he has put in and he gets another disco is a bit unfair.

It was a race of 2 halves, i decided to do a 1 stopper! and fought the car in the wet on very worn tyres (scale was in the 40s) and after my first fights with Miguel,Erling and Teo we were only seconds apart after the 90 min mark but i had stayed out and decided to pit at the 1h30m point and had a 40s cushion now as the others came in sooner on a 2 stop strategy, then as i hit the pit request button the rain stopped exactly at that point and i tip toed around and fueled it up and put med/hards drys on and somehow had lost that buffer of 40s! not sure how Erling was now 2s behind and Teo not far off him. I stormed out on drys and made a tiny error on the exit of turn 3 and half spun due to me not realising how wet it still was luckily i saved it and just tapped the barrier and Erling went through so i just took it easy then until i knew how hard to push at certain parts, i managed to overtake Erling and start to pull away slightly and that was it really i just about had the pace to take 2nd in the end and when i seen the other guys pit again i was so relieved because again i was struggling a lot with 30 mins to go on worn tyres.

Happy with 2nd at a circuit i don't like with a setup that i wasn't happy with especially in the dry and a slippy track for 3 hours! happy with my driving with only that half slide i mentioned above.

Kent was just flying up front :O and i just had no car to even start to challenge so i left him to it and concentrated on the final podium places and for me to finish 5 overall from 24 starters was quite nice too :)

And my connection was ok :D

The race was great but i really want to protest driving of Miguel de Raton. He spined in corner just before S3/end of S2 and while i was going around him he ON PURPOSE put in reverse and killed my car a bit, I was slower some tenths but after that 6 mins to end he spins Saša Todorović. I really demand that he gets Drive trough in results and gets on 7th position

Thanks!

Borna you should use proper complain procedure and not post race chat.Race2Play Link

I think in this case you should mail your complains to George Pol.

Difficult conditions. I was very happy for my driving first 12 laps. But then first corner lap 13 I brake a little bit too late and slide to the wall. Not a big crash but still I lost my splitter, bonnet and got a puncture. My car was almost undrivable, but there was still over 2 hours left so I wasn´t ready to retire yet. I started my long limping to the pit and just concentrate not to spoil anyones race. So I´m very sorry if I cause some situations there. (My lap 13 took over 9 minutes.) After that there were no big problems for me just a few spins.
Finally it was nice to see chequered flag.
