great great race, well....until my wheel and pedals decided to freeze after 20ish laps. it feels kinda hopeless when the throttle is stuck flat out while the wheel isnt moving when you're heading towards a wall
too bad, think i could have held that 2nd place and had quite a margin down to mr. drive through penalty mark although avatar seems to be flying atm ! anyway, i had shitloads of wing so really no chanse to overtake anyone...which was kinda annoying, but made for some great fun following ppl. We where pascal, me, avatar and mark all squeezed up for the first stint. Threw in some 90ish ltr at the first pitstop to try and leapfrog in the second round, but yeah...time to finally buy a new wheel i guess.

bad race 3/4 of race its ok for me

after a beautiful battle with norbi and then pietr, I made my quiet race when I have stays to strike by Pascal whereas I to let it pass with mark for a blue flag, I do not understand what it is to pass, I am too much to disgust

[Norbi123]

.......one more time this shit will happen to me and i quit......

[dutch power]

Not to bad season start this time, normaly im much more worse on the first race of the new season. Well lets start with the qualification, i screwed it up big time i dint got my setup right as i was having to much off understeer and locked up the front brakes frequently. I was already on track so there was not much to change anymore as it is parc fermee, i only changed the brake balance little bit wich seemed to help a bit for the locking.

Then for race, im happy with the race start got nice trough T1 and first laps had to settle in 6th i think following a bunch of drivers. It turned out that i had the lowest downforce from all so during the stint i managed to overtake some drivers. Made also some small mistakes during the stints, and in 2nd stint i actualy banged the wall with the rear end damaging, it had a little effect so i turned off repair damage for the pitstops to prevent a long pitstop.

BUt in the pit i totaly overshot the pitslot and that costed me a lot of time, at that point avatar was 1 second behind me, after both pitstops i was 17 secs behind him. So eventualy that bad pitstop costed me a lot of time, in the last stint i just cruised it home. I think i could have had 2nd place, 3th im also happy with. Next time i will make sure that i sort out my race setup properly, Frederik was already talking about a tyre fuel saving race next time you have to go flat out m8

It's nice to finally get my first full distance race out the way.

I was obviously very pleased with qualifying, but my race didn't go according to plan.

I made a terrible start - I have to admit that I hadn't done a single practice start before qualifying because I thought we were allowed to use launch control (like in ROC). Anyway, I lost 2 places at the start and then lost a further place to Mark after a few laps. I had some really close battles with Pascal and Mark but it was very hard to overtake.

I eventually got back up to third place but then i spun and lost my front wing - I had to pit for a new one which obviously took some time. I came out in 4th place (if i remember correctly) and had to try and work my way back up. I passed Pascal when we both suddenly came up to a back-marker (I got lucky in other words), and then i had to catch Mark. I couldn't overtake Mark on the track but I managed to do it when he pitted as I had 2 extra laps of fuel.

I came out in second place after my second pit stop but I was over 30 seconds behind Fred. I did my best to put some pressure on but I couldn't really do anything to catch him - I finished in second.

I'm happy with my race overall, just a bit disappointed in my start off the line and the mistake which cost me my front wing.

Grats to Fred for putting in a great performance and to everyone who finished the race.

Well what should of been a bad race turned out good

Had been really ill all weekend so hadnt practice, still felt bad when racing.
Made a great start but then relised the force feedback wasnt working had a really loose wheel not good
made few places in first turn then few turns later trying to cope with wheel i braked a bit late and ran wide on to the grass dam wheel
Got back on track and was behind piotr managed to get buy and pull a slight gap then on first pit stop i spun just before entering pit slightly hitting wall Had my pit stop came out behind piotr and ingo kept pushing managed to get back past piotr on second pit stops and i was catching ingo. I had settled for 5th then ingo lost a wing and 4th place was mine thank you very much job done .

Not a bad race after all

Well done fred and to all other finishers
Great race good to be back on track

G25

[Peter Sojda]

First stint was very good in my execution. However, I have make mistake during rally drive for pitstop and I have impacted to wall and I have damaged suspenssion. I have stood in box 55 seconds. Unfortunately, then, bolide twisted in all the time of right and I lost 4-5 seconds on every lap. So, I could only look as G25 leaves me. I have lose 4 place through error.
Congratulations for everyone who finished race, and good luck in Malaysia


How use this XML files ??? There is many figure but this is nosens for me . Race reports will never be available ? That was great

Wow first race of the season finished. The start was better than expected for my part. I thought that if I was first through the first corner I would be able to control the race pretty well, which turned out to be the case. Avatar who made a fantastic qualifying got a bad start so Pascal was behind me for the first laps.
I saved the engine and tyres for while and suddenly I saw Mark was up in second which made me reconsider my strategy for the race hehe Thought he would catch me if I didn't push,but obviously he had the wrong setup from what he said afterwards
Only issue in the race was an off track excursion in T1 where I placed two wheels on the grass when braking and turning, but I managed to save it luckily. From there on it was just about bringing it home in a safe way.

But I guess that was the last time this season I could play it safe, considering Avatars blistering pace and Marks upcoming challenge Malaysia will be highly interesting without a doubt Looking forward to it.
Well done to all!

holy moly
ok, lets start with the qualy, avatar did an awesome time wich i didnt expect my time wasnt so good, anyway freds time was too far away from my best one .

start was quite nice, got avatar...but then, my pace was really bad, seems i had lower wings then avatar so it was pretty hard to overtake me, had some nice fights with him but after all that pressure he did on me it was predictable that im gonna do a mistake and a bunch of drivers overtook me
but i thought...stay focus and just do your race, its melbourne so they will retier
i totaly messed up the pitstops
second stop was hot....mark was in pit and he had a problem....i went too fast into my pit so i had to put the reverse in^^ lost some secosnd so i wasnt able to pass mark
after that it seems i was a bit faster then mark, so i trierd to push to pass him on track

but, in lap...44? donno, it got a focken crash to desktop ARGH

anyway it was a nice race till my crash

congrats to my teammate
and gratz to all other drivers who manged to finish on that damn track

cya in malaysia
take care of your asses

ps
a7eon NEVER SAW IN TV HOW TO BE LAPPED?

[Jim Parisis]

Congratulations to all of you guys who managed to finish the race! You can't even imagine how much I wanted to be there with you! Especially congrats to my teammate, Mark, for 3rd place! Keep our team up m8 and I'll be with you soon! FredN nice win man! Bye!

[Drago(ITA)]

i had a decent qualy, but go under 1:28 was too difficult for me.
My pace was the same as in practice (not that fast )but i had mutch more problems to control the car, and i had also a decent position till i kissed the wall .
Congrat to all who finished the race and hope to be again as fast as i was last years to at least try to challenge those aliens

PS: i was not able to change brake balance from inside the car during race; but it was possible in a test i did with Ingo. It was only a problem of mine or the server was set like that??
