USA GT: Oschersleben

Another freaking DNF because of this effing hotel internet!

Timer expires, so it MUST be time for hotel internet to act retarded!

Coming around to take checkers, surviving, happy, BOOM! Effing gone!

"lost connection to host"!

FU!

Congrats to Tim. I think!
tks,

Grats To Kent on the Pole and Grats to Tim on a great win.

Qualy 3rd,

Race,

After watching Tim and kent duke it out for many laps with much fun and amazement until Kents misfortune, after his problem I ran 2nd, about 3-seconds back from Tim, All was looking well, I had 15 seconds on third place, I pit, I get serviced in 57 seconds, I nearly had a heart attack, I have never been serviced in the lambo under 72. All is well, with 20 minutes to go I had a fearsome battle with george, we were w/i 1-second the rest of the way,that was great, big time fun, we got into some traffic with 4 minutes to go and it got spread out to 2-seconds, then i hit my brake markers as the same prior 60 laps and nothing, with 2 to go something snaps in the back, sending me into the tires on the exit to the front stretch, so slowly back out and continue, only to have another brake failure going into the last corner making nice nice with the Michelin's :(

Great race guys, Great racing george!

nice race everyone !
hands full this whole race !
congradulations to the podiums!

That was an awesome race. Spent almost the whole first stint chasing Michael. But that 575 is impossible to overtake because of its better straightline speed. Had some looks on the inside of slow corners but it didn't work out. Great racing there Michael. I enjoyed that. Took my stop halfway and raced Jeff for almost the entire 2nd stint. Like Jeff said, we were within 1 second most of the time and I was trying to push him into a mistake but, same as with Michael, that didn't work. In the meantime Dennis was closing in. Then Jeff had the misfortune he mentioned in his post-race which brought me 2nd in the end. That was awesome racing outthere Jeff. Loved every minute of it. So it was a good night .... 3rd in the wet and 2nd on a dry track. I'll take it anytime. Grats to Tim on the win in this one.

Congrats podium.

Lousy race for me but still fun to drive. I was amazed by the pace. Alot of good drivers out there. Once I saw that I was slow I was hoping for a top 10 only. But I made 5-6 small mistakes going off track and burning 3-4 seconds each.

Then in the pits I sit there for ten seconds with my engine on before they can put in fuel! Then I forget my pit limiter on the exit and get a stop/go.

So some foolish mistakes but at least I didn't DNF :)

Good race, see you next time!

Again my fuel setting failed me again this race making two stops put me back in the final standings one day i get it right.it was nice to see tim racing i haven't experienced it yet until tonight congrats on your win.

Got a decent qualify, then left the server to change my race settings to normal fuel usage from X2 and could not get back into race. Oh well maybe after awile I will figure out what to do and what not to do and will be able to actually run a race all the way through.

Qual went badly. started back of the pack. Got a good start, made progress due to misfortunes of others. Got around Pol and was puttin mega pressure on Chriss. Got a little too hard into a corner behind him. Tapped him, got him loose and I lost it. Turned sideways right in front of George. barrel roll city. Still ended up 4th. I'll take it.

Good hard racing by all.

I get the hard charger of the race award. 15th to 4th.

Kent gets the class clown award for his track and Teamspeak entertainment. :-)

I thought I had pole locked up but Kent got one more flying lap in to steal it from me. Start of the race went perfectly, taking the lead at the first turn and holding off Kent who was pressuring me big time. After Kent slipped off Jeff was never too far back forcing me to keep a pace that I really didnt want to keep.

Finally made a minor goof that put me into the gravel just long enough for Jeff to take over the lead with me close in tow. Instead of challenging Jeff head on, I opted to pit-in with 52 min remaining in race. Had a nice stop and got back out and by the time everyone finished their stops I was in the lead with a healthy margin. From there is was just managing the gap back to 2nd-5th who were all very close to each other.

Have I mentioned that I love Oscherleben? A very productive day for me in the Lambo; Pole at the GTO event, lead much of the rain soaked race, Track record for GT class @ Oschersleben, and now a win to follow it all up with.

Only thing I ask... a few of the lapped cars were trying to "help" by moving out of my way. Guys, your "helping" nearly caused me to hit you multiple times. Please, please hold your line through the corners. I will not even attempt to pass you there. I will wait for a straight I promise. I ended up bumping one car because he thought it was wise to jam on the brakes on a straight even though I was directly behind... Please let the faster car lead the passing-dance, just run your normal lines.

Quote Luke Maney: Got a decent qualify, then left the server to change my race settings to normal fuel usage from X2 and could not get back into race.

There was no need for that Luke. Racesettings are done by R2P and you don't have to change anything yourself.
