Congrats to all who finished!

For me, while it was even more fun than usual while it lasted, this is a race to forget.

I think the first lap must have been seen as a raging bull horde coming down the track, at least that's how it looked from my cockpit!

There were people all around me and we were all doing those crazy moves on each other, I ended up spinning a couple of time, mostly so I did not hit people near me, enough that I decided it was safer to let the tight pack pass and let Darwinism do its job. I had a few nice battles with Juan Garcia and with Koma, among others.

A few laps after my 1st pitstop (2 pitstops strategy for a change), I ended up touching the grass just at the turn-in point for T1, so I basically never turned and must have hit the wall at over 250km/h. Since I hit sideways, I ended up losing both wings and bending the suspensions. Hobbits being pretty tough, I limped back to my pits (took over 4 minutes, having to go around almost the whole track), only to realize when going out of the pits, that the suspension was way too badly damaged to drive around this track. Press ESC here...

Congrats to Xz for his champiosnhip-tightening win, to Steve for holding his wings attached to his car and, finally, to both Juan Garcia and SteveB for their first NAR finish.

to whom it may concern, a little advice from Uncle Steve, Even if you pee'd 15 minutes before the race, go ahead and try to go again before the race starts, LOL, i had to make 2 pit stops in one on my first stop, one to put fuel in my car, and one to empty my fuel tank < bladder > lol, and i was in the lead at that time ,what a bummer !! XZ and i had a blast the first stint, he was on my ass for about 18 of the 1st 20 laps, then the "pee" break happened putting me down about 50 secs to XZ, all in all a fun race, even though i should have worn depends, hahaha !!

Steve! your not alone........ that's what happen to me in the Canadian gp. When I got back to my seat I was reving up so hard that I spun out in the pits and trying to find the way out to exit the pits.

Lol, i remember i lost Motorhead for 1-2 lap, and after i herd he coundnt keep going if he didnt went to bathroom. You guys are realy crazy, i woud pee on my chair to saty in the lead, muahahaha, lol

humm after thinking about it, hummm... i think i woud went to bathroom

.

COngratulation to Xzwins, hes now closer to BIlbo and Steve is climbing up also. Keep it up guys, im jalous of your tight champ. For me eatch time Motor or Brad finish in front, it backoff more Hitman and Aaron, closest opponent...

hm, i might look into a Sim Racing Catheter, lol

Bilbo · Post by **Bilbo** » 22 Aug 2005, 04:49

You got that right, Flow, the Div2 championship is now REALLY close!

It's a real shame that I could not finish this race as, for me at least, it was one where I was always in "contact" with someone, and I was even slowly creeping up on Xz (who was leading ~14 secs in front) when I had my accident. That might have led the way to a very interesting race finale!

Steve, now that I think of it, was that "pit incident" the reason why you had to do your laundry after the race?

XZWINS · Post by **XZWINS** » 22 Aug 2005, 18:56

wow for the first time in N.A.R. i did the pole!!!!
but after the start i was 7 after the first corner

, been very conservative to avoid any crash!!!
After merc spoun and steveB did the same thing and koma could not avoid the collision. i was fourth

In front of me,their was bilbo fitghing whit juan for lead and steve in front of me! just before the chicane we were three side by side. Me , steve and bilbo! bilbo wait to brake a bit to mush and we pass him ... and later juan spoun in the last section so i was second.

In front of me steve... steve it was a unbelieveable the race we made for 18 laps it was like at the tv... and then it was ur pee brake (ur pee brake was 50 sec so we do estimate ur bladder contain 3,103 litres

)
after i made my way alone until the end!

Very happy to finish first and to gain 10 points on bilbo, we are now a 2 point from each other

i hope a can keep the rythm !

by the way i check the replay and i saw many collision some smal some not ... maybe some should be less agressif and wait for opportunity to pass.

Hi Guys,

I would imagine that would be ME XZ.

My Qualify was going GREAT till the last long right hand turn before front straight, I lost it the back end let go.
Started 7th on the grid....GREEN LIGHTS......GOOOOOOO at T1 I moved up 3 spots going to the fast "S" someone spun to avoid hitting anyone I locked up my breaks didn't wait for my car to stablize and got on the throttle (again too soon) spun and saw KOMA sliding beside me on the grass and I lost my front wing and limped back to the pits.

I raced very hard to try to catch up but it wasn't until JUAN had a pitstop and I was right behind him when he exited the pits and I was on LOW fuel at that point and MUCH faster.

Going under the bridge I saw an opening to pass and went for it and he tried to shut the door but it was too late(sorry Juan) in 3rd now.I felt terrible when I saw him spin and lost my concentration for a few laps.

4 laps left I lost my brakes and Juan gained back 3rd and that was that.

But at least I finished and what a JOY it was.
I hope I will be fighting with you guys in GERMANY

Great race all and CONGRATS to XZ
Steve B
