Hey guys, I'm not sure if I can make it home in time for the race today. If I'm not online in time please start without me.
 
I will check the forum and my PS3 before I create the room. But if you post on the forum you can post it in the thread. That way I can be informed by others on teamspeak also.
 
Doing some house moving should be with you guys by 6 pm gmt , hopefully earlier
 
@ ErikAndre

Leave space for me today I will be running a little late, but I will be there before qualifying ends at 1:20pm Pst I believe, I'm with my daughter right now and we get home a 1pm PST

Thankz!
 
If 1:20pm PST means 9:20pm UTC I can allow it as we usually never get to start before that time anyway. But having a open slot available will only mess up my qualify because I will have to leave the track to kick random people out. So any later and I close the room, remove your slot and we go from there. This means we will have to do the staged entry all over and I'm not going to be happy about it.

You got to remember that even if you have to be on pretty early anastasis have to be up pretty late.. 23:00 or 11pm at his timezone. Or in this case he will see Sunday before we are half way through the race.

I hope this explain why I'm not a fan of delaying the race, but I also want as many people as possible racing. But please know we are 13 other guys have to wait for you.
 
Whit the lag at the beginning i seemed to be punished much worse then others if my racepace was normally faster. Soon as the traffic clears up my peace got back to normal. at times there was massive lag but throughout the race it was drivable. My driving was pretty well but my strategy was not good. Becaus the "Tyre-bug" i could go 9/10 laps long, enough for a 2 stopper. but i did not do it. My second mistake:i did one lap to many to long my second stint which placed me back behind Adam & Erik. I lost massive time behind the 2 of them. on top of that i crashed into Erik. A little unlucky. I believe i could be in the Area of Arkano & skengdigi today. But I tactical failed today. but 5th is not bad at all.
 
Eau Rogue was hard to hit with a draft pull, but I'm sure we all figured it out!
Fierce battle within my pack, by the way' 👍
 
Awesome, awesome race today. Really pleased with the result.

I had some pretty crazy fps drop for the first 14 or so laps, after my second stop I could push to my hearts delight and managed to catch Falcon, ProPersian and eventually Skendigi for second.

Immortal was just out of reach this weekend, and Skendigi almost had the better of me, but I caught him in the last 3-4 laps and we had a nice fight. Even when I was pushing as hard as I could in the last two stints I couldn't close the gap to Immortal and at best only equalled his pace. I took Monza, you can have Spa ;)

Joey, you need to make a video of Spa, I'll post some points of interest once I've checked the replay ;)
 
It was a great race , I have some incidents to report.

Erik I will pm you my report later this evening and you can discuss it with the other stewards.
 
I've sent Erik my race report, I can be online on TeamSpeak later too if any of the stewards want to discuss the race.
 
At 2am yesterday my internet was turned off by my provider due to lack of payment. It was some stupid limiting payment in my internet bank that was holding it back so it is now fixed over 3G internet.

I'm on 3G now and will be until monday I guess, so no teamspeak server before that. I wont run the server on 3G, that will cost to mush I guess ;)

I'm sorry for the inconvenience of this, but it's nothing I can do about it.

I will check the replay later, Ive read your reports and I get back to you. I did check some of the replay and it's a alot to look into, 15 cars do make the steward job pretty comprehensive :)
 
I won't have internet til thursday but I will still check up on the forum and private messages via my phone .

No practice for me til thursday :(

I pmed you my report Erik .

When I get my internet connection this Thursday I might ask you to help me configure it to give me the best connection for our races .
 
Will anyone be online at around 7:30pm GMT for practice?

Also if anyone could tell me what to look out for in the Spa replay that would be great. Seeing as we had 15 cars it definitely needs a video. :D
 
Lap 1 - End of Kemmel straight - me, Skendigi and Immortal
Lap 1 - turn 8 - Adam
Lap 1 - very last chicane by the pits, I go off as I brake for the corner
Lap 4 - me on Falcon turn 1
Lap 4 - just after me & Falcon - something happens, didn't write down what
Lap 4 - end of the second sector, start of the back straight, Falcon spins
Lap 5 - Kemmel straight - me on ProPersian
Lap 6 - Kemmel straight - Adam, ProPersian & Maxitsu
Lap 7 - Netherdragon spins off at the chicane at the end of the second sector
Lap 15 - Erik & ProPersian at turn 6
Lap 18 - On the back straight, Erik spins and Maxi crashes into him
Lap 19 - Me at turn 6, almost spin
Lap 22 - End of Kemmel straight - Me, Maxitsu and ProPersian
Laps 25 through 28 - Me and Skendigi fighting for second

Those are all the interesting points I managed to note down. For the start of the race, use the TV cam with one of the top 4 because it gives an awesome shot going into turn 1, then after that I you could do an on-board from someone in the midfield (position 5-11?) of the start too and going into Eau Rouge, because that gives an awesome shot of everyone going through Eau Rouge ;)

Backseat directing ftw :sly:

Lap 6 at kemmel was just some nice lag, atleast on my screen. no fun driving though.

Follow me, erik & Adam we were close almost throughout the entire race.
 
This is my 2nd favorite race this season , Monza still 1st .

I'm glad I had a better finish than at Monza .

So we are at the halfway point of the season , still a lot more good racing to go .

I feel like I've had ballast all season :(

It should be:

most people can't say they have ballast. Ballast means you scoring alot of points :)
 
Even though I won Monza, I think Spa was my favourite race so far this season simply because of how much I was pushing from lap 13 once I was past Falcon to catch you for the last few laps of the race.
