I picked up the 3rd place. In all honesty, that was my minimum target for the race so it wasn't a complete disaster for me.

Tbh I enjoy a race where I'm fighting closely with lots of cars rather than up front :) but the points aren't there :(

I think i know somehow what you mean...

And Sken i expected to be higher really, and Karsten, well done.

yeah, and NO. I'd been fighting for top 5 all races beside this one (let alone dcs...) , can't feel satisfied with this 9th, really.
 
I had a lot of fun catching up with Pubs after my final stop, I had fresh tyres and fighting to get on the podium so I was pushing 100%. I was catching up with him pretty quickly but with 3 laps to go I ran a little bit wide as my tyres were starting to go off and lost the rear, losing a few seconds. I knew from that point that Pubs would probably pick up the podium and he deserved it as he didn't crumble under pressure. Unfortunately he had to pit for fuel, and luckily for me I picked up the 3rd place. In all honesty, that was my minimum target for the race so it wasn't a complete disaster for me. @Pubs16 has been really impressive over the past few races.
It was definitely nail biting having you chase me down with fresher tyres after your final stop!
Not realising my fuel level under my concentration to keep you from catching me too fast, I thought I had 3rd finally once you ran wide! But just after seeing you drop back a little I then noticed my fuel light and *sigh* one lap short again :p handed that to you ;).
Thanks for the kind words man, hugely encouraging to hear that I'm impressing drivers like yourself :)
The good
Pubs keep getting higher and higher on! I knew i could trust him and i knew he was that fast so i'm happy i chose him as teammate; i feel sad and down because i'm actually ruining by myself our team standings... I must be the only "N°1" driver that has half the points of "2nd" driver... :( I hope i can do well at daytona (not much hope for nurb... now if it was the nordschleife... ) :D
Aww shucks mate, thanks! I'm glad I could reach your expectations.
Don't feel too badly mate, most of the point opportunities lost are dc so it's not like you yourself have let the team down. It's a sad risk every race unfortunately and that's just online racing for ya..
You're still no.1 to me mate ;).
 
Race video is up




I'm in for Nurburgring GP/F :)
What's the weather going to be like Mr. karsten? :)

As Stated here: http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Racing/Germany/Nurburgring-Circuit.aspx?sday=5

On monday at 18:00 weather will be cloudy but not rainy We'll start with weather at 50%. This probably means we'll have an hellish deluge lol

I had a best of 55.4 in training, i'm pretty sure i may get even faster on in high 44. Seems good to me? In any case it'll all be wasted as usual if it rain as always.

Great video as always man! Really enjoy watching them.

Oh gosh 50% weather? Holy cow it'll bucket down! Will really have to practice more for the wet this time, I'm tired of losing out from it :p.
 
Really sorry for taking so long after the race to post. First of all great job on the video and commentary @azidahaka, very entertaining and you seem to find the greatest situations on track, I'm sure it takes some time to do it so I guess I can speak on behalf of everyone that we thank you for the effort you put in this kind of stuff.

Now for the race it was good fun, I just wish I had more close battles than I had, for me having clean and close battles it is what makes the adrenaline rush during the race, of course we all aim to win and to place the best we can but having both is even better :)

I really had to work hard for my win, very intense first stint, battling with @xChris93_, @SkengD and @GT_Vette (a little bit in front so didn't really had the chance to have close battle with him). I decided to make a very long first stint as I felt my tyres had a good tyre wear and with less fuel in the car I was able to make decent laps even with worn tyres. But after my first stop I lost a little bit of time battling out with @azidahaka (damn you :p), I remember seeing you with lifting the throttle to let AGRO pass and with me I had to make a bold move to pass you lol. But after our battle it came down to not make mistakes and put in good laps, I think in last stint I had very close laps with AGRO as the time between us remained pretty much the same for a while.

Overall I'm quite happy about the outcome of this race, I know I had a good car but never expected to fight for the win. I wanna congratulate @GT_Vette and @xChris93_ for doing a good race too, a shame about @SkengD's mistake otherwise he would be there fighting with us.

One last word to @Pubs16, I'm really liking your progression over the past weeks, it kinda reminds myself when I got a wheel, slowly improving each time and race, good job mate but just don't forget putting fuel in the future lol, second race that I think you lose a podium because of it :(

I was practicing last night and managed 55.9 and hope to see a 54 :)

I made a mistake out of a turn and couldn't go full throttle without spinning... My plan was to slow down Agro even more lol

Thanks mate :) I feel honoured to be getting noticed by the drivers that I look up to since I started :).
Yeah fuel is something I'm still working out haha, I guess I push a lot harder in my last stints than I expect so my plan falls ever so slightly short lol. That's how you learn but of course ;).
It actually have a chance to go to 100% sunny too, but agro and pedro's rain dances are unbeatable lol
Going either way will definitely make it interesting with people's setups!
 
Thank you guys for this race, i had a lot of fun. Too bad i dropped my concentration at about 70 min, lost two laps in those last 20 min... nice to see the video and some real good driving and passing skills and moves.
at some point in the race, with new tires, i was able to keep up with the pace given by some of you, even i had a shot at overtaking a few times but already being lapped it made very few sense to jeopardize the fight happening in those groups; it was really close.

I will not be joining this monday as I will be out of the country. I wish you all a good race and look forward to read your race summary and the video.
 
Not going to hope it'll be like this on monday :D best times?
 
last night snake and i ran around for 25minhutes and best was 1 56 i think, i am sure we can improve on those as didnt do much setup as was really just getting to know the track.
 
Lately club room is mostly empty, few people are training and the thread is silent... Come on guys, heads up! :)
 
I'll be on just off two chippy stake and kidney pie an chips yum yum yum
 
sadly can't train... :( let me know times and weather...
 
Well, i was on earlier with Kossu, Sken, Agro and we did a 30 minute race. It started to rain in the last 3 minutes.
Best time i think was around 54s but cant really remeber, but it does get less grippy as dusk falls.
