UKFormula Euro nGT: Anderstorp

sorry i couldnt make the race tonight, ive been a bit sick today and havent had a chance to get to my PC today

What a great race.

Had some great scraps and only started to get decent lap times towards the end of 1st stint, cant believe some of you didnt need to change tyres! John Passmore, not sure if we touched or not through the banking, but 1 secong we were tooth n nail, the next I couldnt see you. If it was my fault then I apologise, was good racing.

Running in comfortable 2nd place, distracted by girlfriend while pitting and forgot to select no tire change FFS!! Stupid woman!!!! :))

That cost me so much time and lost 2 places :(

Wouldve been a great result for me in this RSR league : \

...and don't you guys listen pre-race when they say easy @ T2????????????? Ridiculous!

Sh*t that was intense!

I don't know where you came from nor how you did it Mark but that was some driving, hats off.

Quali:
Good lap, menaged to take a pole, though I can't seem to reel in a real perfect lap. Still, nice lap.

Race:
Got of to a great start, though in T2 I braked too softly, wobbled on the exit and Roman N. went by. Spent few laps chasing him, when he made a mistake coming out of "Opel", I got by. By lap 18 we were still pretty close, some 3.5 s apart. Then on lap 18, same as G3x event, Roman had some probs. I was now some 14 seconds adrift from Grecian. After that I slowed down a bit.

Exited my pits, on old rubber. After Grecian pitted I saw I had 30 seconds margin to the car behindf, so I saw no need to push it and risk a mistake. Boy, was I mistaken. Some 10 laps to go, McLean exited pits only seconds behind me. :O :O I was scratching my head. By the last lap my tires were so much damaged that I took it extremely easy not to make any mistake, bit too easy I think. Had the race gone for few more laps, don't know whether I could've held Mark at bay.

Intense!

Glad to have won it, but I was lucky too. Congrats podium.

Oh and Sorry Joco for the little touch in the lap 36 or 37 I was too focused where Mark is. Also, hope you understand that I couldn't have let you by as that would lost me some precious time.

Wow, what a finish! Another brilliant intense race after another dodgy start.
Got a good lap in quali for 4th but after turn 2 punt it was back to 18th. I decided after that to do without fresh tyres on my fuel stop. Good thing too, because after passing a few cars to move up the field I came up behind Claudiu and I just couldn't pass him anywhere so the pit stop came at just the right time. Got up to 3rd about 2/3 of the way through the race but my tyres were bad and Roman and Grecian caught me pretty quickly. I held them off for a couple of laps but eventually went wide into turn 4 and they went through. Then Barry caught me and with time running out I just drove defensively and tried not to make it easy to pass me. It was very close racing and when Barry got caught out by my braking into the last turn he tapped me and then very kindly waited, thanks Barry, but that cost him a position because Allen slipped by and slotted in right behind me. A very defensive couple of laps kept Allen behind me, but only just, and on the last lap, last turn, as I braked hard on a tight line he caught my rear and I very nearly went round. Just straightened it up and floored it to the line. Allen and I had a drag race to the flag and I just took it by 0.03sec... phew!
Grats to the podium guys and thanks to R2P.

P3 is OK.
Started 3rd, Enis and Joco had some problems in T2, took the wide line, I went to P1. After few laps I lose concentration and Enis overtook me. Nice fight.
Damn Enis, you were so fast in T1, you put glue on your tires???

At the pitstop I saw Joco behind me waiting, seems that the game put his and my spot together, very sorry m8, bad luck.

ROFL Roman, I've put some contact cement. :P

Qualified 2nd, all OK until luck was b1tch for me again...

I was knoced off track in 2nd lap at 2nd corner... Can't you listen to stewards, I mean god**mnit brake earlier or either take a side line if there's a car 2 meters in front of you!!!

That ruined it all for me... I felt to 14th position or so and was tottaly unmotivated to drive fast or anything, also made some mistakes.

Than again I was a victim of game bug... I went to pits, some car was right before my pit space or even on it and I simply had to wait untill he pitted because the game automatically turned the wheel and I was behind him...

Bad race, I also was way faster than Enis at the end...

Nice race.
I was fairly lucky early on to to have been speared by someone making a rather bad rejoin! (don't know how I missed them, luck was on my side)

It came to the pit-stops and I thought I would just change the fronts? as the left front was taking some real punishment. I flicked through the pit board menu a few times, not remembering where the option was but gave up in the end and just hit enter and changed all 4 tires, big mistake. Seems like I lost out on too much time I was never going to be able to make up. Miscalculated the fuel as well and had something like 30L left on board.

I had a fun race that was marred somewhat by my noob pit stop strategies.

See you all at Dubi.
