Then take one... (redbull)

My qualif was more than i expected. i still did 2 verry little mistake, but that was way good enough for pole.

My start was not that good as usual, aaron move in my face after few feets to cut me off the driving line, witch was excellent move, but i was able to draft him and do the inside of him at T1, letting him the outise, but then he got the inside of T2 and i let him go, he was off line anyway, he went little too far opening the inside of T3, what i was hoping for, and on the side by side, i won the T4 and then i was pacing pretty good in 33's - 34's.

My main problem was that after 15 minutes of race, i coudnt feel my but anymore. i was sitting on a kitchen wood chair, and i forgot a pillow to make it 'softer'... and then i start to have ants in my leg and it climb my back. i was trying to lift up, ass i was doing mistake, lol. I lost completely my concentration. After 1st stop, i battle hard with aaron, exchanging position, but i was not able to get back my concentration, feeling the pressure little too high for my brain tonight, lol. i was doing too mutch mistake, and neer lap 50 i think, i did a 360 on track, where Hamilton crah himslef, but i was able to recover with not wheel on grass, lol. i avoid the pit wall that i was afraid of hitting neer lap 52 and on lap 53, i spun, went in grass, and car went flip on top, so i did esc. (i tought even if the game would of alowed me to continue, i felt that it wouldnt be realistic, even if its a game, for me flip on top, and race is over (should have it in rule for future

) anyway suspension was all red.

I had to fight so mutch to get away of aaron and to fight closely with him, that my tire were little destroyed, and that blew off my stable pace, the car was like on ice after few laps. Nice run again aaron.

Congratulation STVEB!!!! his 1st win in NAR. Also to Juan, who manage to finish in 2nd, and Aaron in 3rd, that is so mutch important point for you!!!

Grrrr... Cya next one

I was on my way to an easy podium (possibly even a victory given how things turned out) as I was pacing steady 1:34s but a dumb mistake I made earlier this week came back to deny me everything. I had forgotten how to adjust my mirrors and, while looking for the keys, I reloaded my controller preset in the game by mistake. The only problem is that the last time I had saved it, I did not yet have the key mappings for killing and restarting the engine. I only found this out after 34 laps when I spun in the last turn and hit the pit wall. Since I was already in pit lane, I made immediate repairs and prepared for a longer last stint (~26-27 laps). Well, the repairs were supposed to last for 43 seconds but, since I could not turn off the engine, it just blew up after 39 seconds in the pits. End of race...

Congrats to SteveB for his victory and to all who made it to the end.

Thanks guys.

I can say that it is an amazing feeling finally winning. I haven't won since GERMANY GP in 2005.
I would have liked to have won with more guys on track but I'll take it as is.

My QUALY lap was pretty good I could have got more out of the car if my foot would listen to my brain...LOL....but I was happy with it.

I finally got an amazing start but I had to lift off the throttle or else I would have tagged Flow's ass.
Down the straight side by side with Juan approaching T1 Juan braked too late and I managed to be in 3rd behind Aaron.

I was able to keep up with Aaron for about 10 laps then I started loosing grip and started to struggle in the turns for the rest of the first stint.
After the 1st round of pit stops the car just wasn't the same and I was struggling alot for the rest of the race due to lack of grip and had to drive hard to keep my position.

with about 10 laps to go I heard P2 was in the pits and saw Aaron in the pits as I went down the front straight and thought OMG I am in 2nd a lap later I crossed the finish line to see my P number go RED and I thought NO WAY and I heard my pit crew tell me I was in P1.......WELL.....HOLY CRAP now I was struggling not only lack of grip but controlling my nerves as well.

I was checking the laps left to how much fuel I had on board and I was 1 lap short of fuel so with 2 laps left I had to pit for fuel.

WHAT A RACE!!!!!

Bilbo and Flow were fast and sorry for your outcome in this race, it should have been you guys on the podium.

WELL DONE to ALL and to Juan and my Teammate for sticking it out and finishing.

FORZA FERRARI !!!

Juan G · Post by **Juan G** » 23 Jul 2007, 23:04

Congrats Steve B for the win, nice race

.

My Q lap was not to bad, four place.

The start was good manage to pass Steve b but I brake to late at T1 and loss that place, car was reacting very good and cache steve b 3 or 4 laps later, spun at lap 7 broken front wing and damage front susp, I guess because the repair took 150 sec., almost quit at that time but I change my mind.

Exit from pits 2 laps begind so I start driving just to finish any place, and then 8 or 7 laps to go all off thesuden I'm on second place

I was shock i never image finish on second place.

Well congrats to SteveB and Aaron.
