well my Qualy lap went pretty good,made just a couple of minor mistakes but I was happy with it and POLE. :)

My race SUCKED again.
Not only fighting for position but fighting the car.

I had a few of good battles with Bilbo and Juan and Paul till I spun.

Around mid race I was in front of Bilbo and at T1 I spun and stayed where I stopped hoping Bilbo would see me.....he saw me alright UP CLOSE...LMAO Bilbo lost his front wing and my car seemed to be ok.

I continued on I had 8 laps till my pit stop,when I went to do my pit stop I was praying for only minor damage if any......well....hows a 100 second pit stop to fix my suspension.
I knew then my race was done.

But it was an awesome race, ME Bilbo and Juan were pretty evenly matched.If I could have only stayed on track....LOL

CONGRATS to FLOW for the win and to all who finished.

CU @ SPA. :shock: :shock:
FORZA FERRARI !!

I was not able to qualif, kids before race. But with 6 drivers, it was not a big lost anyway. Cong to SteveB, for his pole again.

My race : started good, and i went to do the inside after beeing 4/5 position on mid distance between start and T1, and i decide to not put my nose in the fight between 5 drivers heading T1 in a small pack. Aaron seem to have his trottle lock around +/-310kmh or some like that, was weird, i dont know why, i still had to fight to pass him and was a great battle. Then Bilbo was my target, and SteveB spun after T1 and Bilbo went wide at exit of T1 few laps later. Then Only Juan was left in front with -6 sec ahead. I was closing the gap to -3.5 sec, but he stop early for his 1st pit, 6 laps before me, witch gave the way wide open to cruise to the end. I was having some stress, since bilbo and other were just at +8sec behind, loosing a little eatch lap, but they seem to did few mistake, and i lost them. At my last pit, i brake too hard to avoid speed penality, and i spun and hit the entrance pit wall, got a 47sec repair. My car was still little damage after, but was not that bad.

Thanks to all drivers that i lapped, i must say that this race, all lapped driver pulled away at perfect place, no single thenth of second of lost of time.

Cya at Spa! Hope fully we will be at least around 10 on track, would be fun, i will be there.

Qualy went OK for me. That was not my fastest lap but I can't complain about being P2.

My race start was a total disaster, I had a long 1st gear and paid the price. I hit Aaron in T2 because I never saw him before the hit (sorry about that, Aaron) and I'm outside of T2 in the sand. So coming out of the first chicane I'm already down to P5 but I'm (unfortunately) used to being down on the first lap, I guess it's now like a bad habit. :oops:

Overall, other than trying to keep up with Flow (and failing), I've had a few battles with SteveB and Juan who would not let me rest. That was exciting, particularly the few laps I spent looking at SteveB's exhaust really close. I caught a drive-through penalty on my first pitstop so I really did not expect a podium after this. Also, as SteveB mentioned, I hit him after he spun and came to rest smack in the middle of the first chicane and I couldn't stop in time (sorry about this, I saw you spin but couldn't tell where you'd end up). I was lucky to only lose the front wing and I could just advance my 2nd pitstop a bit (which lasted only 14 seconds) and go for a 20 laps last stint.

Congrats to all who finished and see you next week in Belgium.

Well I finally installed the spa track friday. I found out that my problem at monza was that the brake was dragging. Probably what was killing me the race before as well. I took it apart but that didn't go too well so I just went out and bought another new momo.
