Spa Saleen

This was the shortest event i ever attended in.
Lap 1 - Eu Rouge - accident.

Came up the hill and there it was, a red car i t-bonned it hard and my car was airborn and never landed back on earth.
I think it's in the International Space Centre by now and i hope it's back for the next race.

What a shame.

Well,

In qualifying I didn't make the greatest of laps but it was enough for 8th place.

As for the race: I got a good drive of the line and into Les Combes I was driving in 6th place,when trying to pass Kane he shut the door firmly closed and we both went off, sad thing to happen but no hard feelings as this can happen. But on the same lap Luis in front of me got back on the track just about giving me a nudge when rejoing so I spun backwards and had to let the whole field past. As all hopes for a good finish were already over I had to play catch up. Overtook Barrett but I gained an illegal advantage so I'd let him past again and overtook him soon afterwords. Passed Rodrigo but some corners later I was eating some dust in Pouhon,another mistake letting 2 cars by, and another....Driving to the line with a broken car... So a race soon to be forgotten...

Hi,

@Neil: Sorry a lot if i messed your race with my reentry on track. It was not intentional, at all.
@Dave, if i´m correct, also sorry for that rear touch. Once again, it was not intentional.
My race was a reasonable one, with some mistakes, but in the end, a pleasant race.
Near the end, had a nice "fight" with M. Eriksson, won by Mike, always very fast, but at the same time, very clean driver. Thanks and grats, Mike.

Cheers,
Luís.

Very fun race.

After weaving my way through the opening lap carnage leading onto Kemmel, it was settle in and go to work. Spent the bulk of the race chasing Barrett and Freddy and a pack of other cars.

Near the final laps, Barrett and Freddy had contact in the Bus Stop which allowed me to sneak through. Freddy got back around me and then he and I had some good fun with Barrett constantly looming behind us, looking to make the most of any mistake.

Got around Freddy in the closing lap but he pulled it back from me to finish ahead.

Shout out to my teammate Boza who unfortunately was one of the casualties in the opening Kemmel wrecks.

Cya at the next round!

Made a race ending down shift ......doh

Getting taken out trying to make a clean pass was bull crap, Thanks Freddy!
Lots of bad sportsmanship in the mid to back lately..

Wasn't real happy with this race when it ended. Really needed the extra lap to continue the battle with Freddy and Kelly. But i gather Reinhard was having some lag issues which may account for my loss of that opportunity.

@Kelly - Freddy and i had no contact at the bus stop. It looked like he caught too much curb and went sideways. i jumped on the brakes and somehow wound up in neutral and couldn't get going again in time to take advantage.

@Freddy - Sorry, again for earlier contact at La Source. We were having a great tussle, but i just missed my brake marker trying to setup for the long straight, locked up, and when i realized i couldn't avoid it, tried to make the inevitable hit as square as possible so as not to upset you too much. Was quite relieved to see you'd held on to it.

@Kelly and Freddy - it was a pleasure racing with you guys.

@Neil - that gesture was recognized and greatly appreciated as a commitment to fair racing.

In retrospect this was actually one of the most pleasurable races i've had in this mod.

Hadn't taken nearly as much practice as i would have liked, so i laid back at the start, just trying not to get in the way. Managed to avoid all the 1st lap carnage, and didn't push until i was feeling comfortable.

Love the cars, love the track, had some fun racing with several people throughout the race, so it was a good time!

Not a bad race for me. Started lower that I had hoped for, but it meant I avoided the lap 1 carnage. Settled in for a good race.
Had some good tussels with Luis Lynce and Telmo Lenz along the way. Thanks, gents, for a clean and fair fight :) Pleasure racing with you.
Sorry to see my teammie Neil get into some trouble. Thanks for sticking around and being an extra set of eyes for me. True teamwork in action :)

Congrats to Reinhard on the win and the rest of the podiums.

On to Silverstone :)

Thanks boss. Not much to report except one very big mistake. And with literally thousands of laps around this track over the last few years, one I had no business making. So, if it's any help to some of you for future reference, I remember being told, way back, about a glitch in the track coming up out of Eau Rouge. That if you get too far to the right, there is a bush/tree whatever made of nuclear grade, military spec unobtainium....and I hit it....hard......very, very hard. End of race.

Still, I got in some good laps, good battles, a front row seat to watch Rogier at work ( always a valuable lesson there ) so it wasn't a total loss, except for the DNF. Congrats to the podium and we'll see what happens next round, till then.....
