It's a very tricky track. The lines are a bit different in any one car. Turn 2, 4, 5, and 7 come to mind. With a wet track you'll want straighten out your exits turn 2, 4, and 8 to get traction, whereas the rest of the corners you want to roll the car as much as possible with perhaps a bit of steady trail braking in the entry, and a neutral throttle to the exit.Check out Guevs lag and lap 7 where it freaked out on me , no lag apart from my lack of speed on mine , will get faster guys , only done about 40 laps on that track before that race
lol, you will be fine seven.Lol I will be the unsporty kid that gets picked last in school footy
It was a good race i would say.How was Brands with the weather? Did it get a nice dry racing mind by the end?
When i watched the replay, it was a bit confusing, as the replay shows people still have damage after they have made a pitstop. Also it does not always show they have the tyres they say they do on at the time.Watched the race last night for about 30 min, and it was great to watch. a lot of spins ,I saw that during a couple laps Gueven has some heavy lag. Indeed Agro is very very fast:tup: The weird thing is that even on RS with a wet track, peoples did almost same time as on dry track. While i saw Logic doing great laps on the W tires. If the track would be dry, the tires would use way more but they didn’t. was the track drying up to the end? What was the end result? Looking out to next Monday
Logic there is a bug in replays after.
Damage does not get reset and the replays don't show the correct tyre if they are changed 👍

I know its only practice races but its very important that we have reports posted about any incidents where cars touch.
I have watched the replay and tried to see where i could drivers that were a little over aggressive. I have re watched incidents from both cars and many vies to make sure i am being as fair as possible.
The races are long and there is no need to touch another car.
This is not meant to upset or pick on drivers, but its is important that we have ultra clean races as we are racing or prizes and i want all drivers to try and be as they would in real life.
Smiley, on a couple of occasions you were a little but over aggressive, you did put other drivers in positions where there could have been a contact if they had not themselves taken avoiding actions and not kept on their line.
The only incident i saw that could have been reported was you bumped into Vic, on entry to cleraways, only a small bump but a contact, and you were both fine. However if vic would have reported the incident in the real series, the stewards may well have given you a -1 point penalty for avoidable contact.
Apart from that you were fast and clean.
Flank, you made contact with me at the entry to paddock hill bend, you were much faster than me, it was early in the race around lap 7 ish i think.
I was on the racing line and you dived inside me and gave me nowhere to go and we made contact, you did nearly bump me onto the wet track and i would have spun but in the end all was ok, however a stewards investigation may well have awarded you -2 penalty points for avoidable contact.

Well mate yours was bad i am afraid.
You even messaged that the other driver was at fault during the race.
Well i have watched this many times now karsten and in my opinion this was totally your fault.
You will see from the 3 images below, that seven had left at least 50% of the track width clear.
He is in his first run with us and was struggling - you were lapping him, he slowed as best he could when i lapped him and moved aside - so i thought it odd he would not do the same for you.
This crash was a little like Schumacher and coulthard at spa many years ago, Seven had backed of and you were at full speed. You hit him with your front left and his rear right - you both had major damage and then you messaged that he was in your way.
I am not the only steward - and others may like to post their views as we are all friends and i like to think a happy family whatever happens during the race, we know you did not intend to hit him, but you were the overtaking driver and it was your responsibility to avoid contact.
If it was real series race i would have suggested a -12 points penalty as it caused major damage.

It was exciting and clean battle. Had other good ones along the race.That is the way i drive. If half of track is empty, why not.
Yes i bumped Vic on braking (very sorry), he was fine, i went behind and that was it. It wasn`t avoidable contact
Otherwise that is driving - no racing. We also tried with Karsten both in corner , i finished off track, but there was no contact.👍
Better to wait i know....
It happens when racing.
If i am not good or clean or fair enough please let me know.
Done some real racing, know the rules and can imagine how it is like.
Yes turned out okay if more people would stay in race till the end as there supposed to lol so you were missedHow was Brands with the weather? Did it get a nice dry racing mind by the end?
Well what is that two with Driving Flat into A Car That You Can See 600 Yards Away And Replay Glitch Show diffrent People A Different Seen Mine Shows THE Same As LogCool, yes i guessed i suppose but glad its confirmed
Karsten, you know i love you, i hate that you are disappointed so much after every race.Not at all how i saw it. He had a bad out of the turn before the straight moved from right to left, then to right again while slowing down. I Moved from racing line to the left saw him slowing down and moved on right side of track full throttle. He moved again and i had no chance for a third sudden line change on wet. Coulthard didnd move from oof line, racing line, off line again.
In any case nevermind. I prefer not to think about it again. You missed the other crash i was into too
Last pretend race at Rome next week, then the Monday after everyone will be there for the 1st official test race.Guess i should start looking at my limits and aim for top of room 2 I'm honestly getting a bit bored of test races, i think i'll feel better when real things start rolling. I'm sure crashes like the one i had with seven (that again was like 6 laps down for he stopped in boxes and exited right in front of me >_>) or tnt (a mistake on his side, but race related; his car slipped too much) won't happen.
At least we're a few weeks away from the season start!
Here's an idear when am coming up on that sort of thing I go as wide as possible not tuke in behind a car that he can't keep straight and I did see the right left and right again if you were driving wide as I said you would have been fine ???Karsten, you know i love you, i hate that you are disappointed so much after every race.

Turn i was the only time you touched me flank, and no damage was done.Logic do you mean turn 1 or 2?
If it was turn 2 i thought i pulled a brilliant move on you.
If it was turn 1, that was when kossu pulled out of the pits right infront of us when we were side by side? nothing i could do really. And i'm sure he cut the white line.
Last pretend race at Rome next week, then the Monday after everyone will be there for the 1st official test race.
Kasrten - i want your opinion honestly-
The process of qualy and race etc etc needs to be made exactly the same each week at exactly the same time so everyone knows the system.
When we have 2 rooms, again this will need to be done with both rooms the same at the same time.
The timing is excellent, i think. But i need you to tell me you are happy with it.
Lol I will be the unsporty kid that gets picked last in school footy
i just dont think karsten realised how much slower seven was going i guess.Here's an idear when am coming up on that sort of thing I go as wide as possible not tuke in behind a car that he can't keep straight and I did see the right left and right again if you were driving wide as I said you would have been fine ???
Yes i have to say i was really surprised at how quickly the track dried.I guess it was a bit 50/50 with karst , I could see him in my rear view coming up and just tried to get out of the way , I prob set the chain in motion by twitching first as I wasn't sure which way he was going for a moment , I will stay on line from now ,
I will be better in Rome I know that track , brands got the better of me , as vette says a very tricky track
No bad feelings karst I hope
