Well Holy smokes again.
I didn't get the chance to qualify.I just got into warmup before the race.Whew.I throw on a quick setup(Monaco)and fill it fulla gas.The start was good for ALL.a clean one again.I managed to sneak past a few accidents and spins and get into third place.I settled for that because flow and Brad were crusin.I had a sneaking suspision that Brad was on a one stopper.So before my last stop I pushed hard.I came out of the pits with Brad on my ass.I am not sure what happened to him but it gave me breathing room and I cruised to the end.Quite a race.Quite a replay as well.Thanx to all for watching their mirrors.

This one won't be long. I was hit twice in the first two turns of lap 1 but fortunately managed to survive with no damage but last. I went on my way to spin and crash myself hard a couple of laps later exiting turn 4. With a bent suspension, I limped to the pits then tried to drive an undriveable car, decided to quit.

I didn't like to be played pinball with in the early moments of lap 1 though...

Qualif
I qualif best place i could, 2nd, no way i would done the pole if Brad was going to be faster than 18.4xx witch he did (1:18.2).

Race
I was desperately hoping to get fast in front of Brad, since i notice on lap 1 that he was slower than me. I realized then he was on a 2 or 1 stop. 1st mistake i did (witch maybe was good finaly) I was set on 3stop, cause i didnt felt at ease on this track. Finaly i pass Brad around lap 5-6, from there i my strategy was little screwed. What didnt help me to get away, dam i had my legg shaking

.

Carrera 2 stop, Brad 1stop, i was dead with my 3 stop. After my 2nd stop at lap 35, i change my mind, now feeling better with the track, i put 35 laps of fuel, change for soft tire, and way to end. I was 18 sec behind Carrera and Brad and i was hoping a gift from front... and it came from Brad, he lost a wing i think. I was hoping same from Carrera

, witch didnt hapend. I lost front wing 3 laps from end, but i was in a safe +20sec in front of Brad for the end of race.

Thanks to all lapped driver to have let the way open nice clean.

Congratulation Carrera, few point must please your mechano! Finaly

Brad for a nice and sad 3rd. Cong all, race was hard on nerve, but still fun for the chalenge

Cya in next race.

OMG WHAT A RACE!!!!
CONGRATS to CARRERA.....LOVE those doughnuts LOL
and to all who finished.
I just like to say WELL DONE to ALL drivers.

I am so excited that I finished I don't know where to begin.....LOL

My Qualify lap wasn't the greatest but was acceptable....I was pretty nervous but got through it...

My race start was pretty good but had quick flashbacks of USA start so I was very careful approaching T1.Took a few laps to settle in but once I did I put the hammer down and went for it...lol

I had a couple of good battles (of what I can remember...so excited lol)so far the races that I have finished I really never had battles and tonight was just AWESOME to say the least.
To always be on the edge and having another driver so close that 1 mistake would cost you big was such a rush....hehehe

I had a pretty good battle going on with HITMAN dam that was fun and with AARON my team mate but I was kinda feeling like MASSA at that point LMAO.

Then after my second pit stop(I think that one) I missed my RPM limiter on the way in and missed my pit box left the pits without setting my RPM limiter and got a STOP and GO penelty came in to serve it and missed my pitbox again and got a DRIVE THROUGH penelty OMG I was getting really nervous at that point because I lost my lead to AARON but came out right behind him but got the position back because he had to pit....

Approaching 2nd last turn to start last lap I spun and hit the wall lost my front wing and had front end suspension damage,I saw a 40+ lead over HITMAN drop to 8 seconds as I left the pits.My steering wheel was at a 45 degree angle and the car was pulling hard to the left and I was fighting hard to keep infront of HITMAN who was comming on fast, crossed the finish line only 5 seconds ahead WO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!

Also CONGRATS goes out to my teammate AARON fighting the car hard and able to bring it home, both FERRARI'S in the points WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!! WELL DONE

GREAT RACE guys see you at ISTANBUL.....by the way the installer is ready in the tracks forum..

My qualifying turned out better than it felt on track and gave me my best starting place of the year I think. On lap 1 I went wide at turn 3 and lost a few spots. Then was in a big battle with Steve and Hitman. I ran into the back of steve at turn 2 during some pretty hard racing. It bent my suspension a little but I continued on. About 5 laps after my 1st stop I got on the gas too hard and lost my front wing and made the suspension pull even worse. I still was in line to finish 5 when with about 6 laps to go the same thing happened again. The setup was pretty good and the 2 stop strategy was working good so finishing 6th was pretty dissapointing. But getting a finish was pretty important and hopefully the real bad luck is over. Congrats to my teamate, Steve ran a great race and it's nice to get both ferrari's to the checkered flag. See you guys in Turkey.

had a nice fight with Aaron for a few laps, so that made my race fun, even if it was too short, lol

Hello
Congrates To Carrera The Hummer

Dam what a race for him.
And Congrates to all who finished

Well I new going in to this Race it was not going to be preety.
My practice sessions did not go well and I just could not get this track right.

I am surprised that I finished so that is a plus.
I had a few great battles and that was exciting. But personaly I just could not be consistent here making a lot of mistakes and getting more and more frustrated.

I hope Instalbul goes better for me
CU There
Hitman

I think this is when i made the pass. The first few times steve would get a better drive off and repass me. I finally got him when he braked pretty late I guess and ran onto the runoff area. I then took a page out of shumi's book and gave him no room to come back on.

I can't wait to watch this replay.

It's certainly a tuff track to make a clean pass on.

unfortunately on about lap 29 i made friends with a wall, and bummed up my front suspension. i made it back to the pits, but went pretty much strait at T1, lol, losing my front wing again. I decided to call it a night , rather than be a danger on the track to anyone who might get near me, hehehe.

brad · Post by **brad** » 31 Aug 2006, 01:14

typical stuff for me. pole, lead for a bit, loose it to flow, do a good middle section, but go off track twice loosing about 10 seconds. carrera on his 2 stop stratagy came out just infront of me on his last stop, and from there, we were 1.5 to nothing nose to tail untill i spun loosing a wing. kinda odd, i hit the wall quite softly, and i still lost the front wing and bent the suspension, i watched carrera smack the wall pretty good (lap 16) with no affect, so i was kinda suprised of the damage. wouldnt have mattered, i ended up loosing the front left brake, then both fronts, then all, with about 3-4 laps to go, while cruising, should have gone with the bigger front discs. oh well, fun race,congrats to carrera and flow, nice dicing with both of you, still got some points, and fast lap

Flow · Post by **Flow** » 31 Aug 2006, 01:20

Yeah Brad, i already hit wall several time (in practice) and was suprise to not have damage and loose wing, and other time to only lick the wall and loose a wing. I think that the angle to touch the wall and the speed make a big difference. Is concrete and softer material wall make a difference? Maybe.
