Wow, only 8 finished???? Well done to those that did.
I was looking forward to this one but ho hum, damn those disco's.

The midweek 'non pitting' incident... I did enter the pits but as i stopped, In my mirrors i could see Cretin sliding down the pit entrance sidways, sending cones banging into my car etc. Obviously distracted i looked up and as there was no white writing, i left the pits happy in the knowledge that i had pitted and Cretin hadnt destroyed my car. To be disquali' ed was abit odd.:g:
Having viewed the replay, i missed the bloody box didnt I ....:roflmao: DOH! I should of known.
No bugs here Sir carry on.

^:doh: :D

Quite a mad race.  I watched the replay, there where some nasty crashes through the field.  Qualified 5th and finished 3rd, luckily avoiding all the mayhem.

Commiserations to those who fell off and Slider with his disco :sad:

Well done Sermilan and Ed...and me! :D

I liked this combo, sticking with the same setup all week I found I could stay on the track better than most and won a fair few races :D

Thursday quali though, I couldn't get it together and was tenth on the grid, then punted down to eleventh with r front susp damage, but by lap five with all the crashes at the chicane, I was in fourth :)

Easyed was behind me and catching at about a second a lap quicker but when he got near enough to overtake he would make a mistake and drop back, I think my earlier braking points and lower exit speed scared him a little :narnar: eventually he came near enough and I let him past without a fight as I'd held him up enough just by being there :D

Deetz was now behind me, we were lapping at about the same times, I decided to pit a bit earlier to try and rejoin just behind him, I stopped in the pit box expecting to go straight away but I got a refueling message despite not setting up for any, I sat there....for 40 seconds ???? it said it had given me 11.4 liters but checking the fuel it hadn't added any, I rejoined in sixth and finished sixth.

Stupid pit crew...I suppose it was a virtual stuck on fuel hose or something, pfft.

This was a great race for me. I attended in 5 one hour races, finished in 3 or 4. Combo was enjoyable, I like FBM and all the wide, long tracks with slipstreaming action. But start wasn't so quick for me, I made mistake in my calculations for fuel, and finished with 14% of fuel in tank :doh:. Quite big ballast for entire race.

After some laps there were some crashes, one at beginning the start/finish straight, I gained some places and got to 6 or 7 position from 11. After my pitstop (actually it was before my planned pitstop) I got into a duel with some driver, but I don't remember his name. I passed him after the turn near the second pitlane after his mistake, then he get on my tail on the straight, and passed me. I chased him next lap, and get him on the same straight like he did previous lap, when I was trying to pass him from inside line of the turn, I run to far on kerb and my FBM caught violent spin, we both ended on the other side of the track. :sad: Naturally I gave a position to him, and we both go to pitlane. That was the worst error made by me during this race.

As I remember, I was the last racer who finished not being lapped :D
All in all that was a great race, with great racers.

PS. Apologies for any grammar errors in this text, I wasn't actively using English (I only do a lot of reading) for some time. Fixed some of them :)
