Wow, at begining of race i almost made a false start, drop LC and need to reverse before red off start. Then i went going away from almost a sec by lap away from Aaron, then with 14 sec i started to just keep a good rithm, no pushing. And in 1/4 race i saw Hitman comming like a Jet in my back... Got 2 spin of thinking he was catching me up. He pass me when i was on edge of spining.

From there i tryed hardly to keep up behind with 4-5 sec, what i did for around 15 laps, then my dream realize, Hitman lost back wing... the way was all open to the end.

Hitman was unlucky on this race, i stole the pole from him by .1 sec and stole the fastest lap in my 3rd last one by -.1 sec and stole the wining by + 1 lap around the lap 40.

This race was your's. You race realy well Hitman, Congrat to you and Aaron for finishing. I feel sorry for you Brad, you change a sponsor on a wall, you wrtten Toyota with your car,

Next race will be deadly

I must admit this was a horrible race for me. I feel horrible about running into hitman. Think I'll just forget this race and concentrate on the great task coming up called MONACO.

Hey Guys
Well I had a stupid start again

Just to my left I saw flow jump the start and back up well I was watching him the lights started to count down, all I remember is saying oh shit then for some F...Ken reason my finger let go of launch controll F..K stop & go Penalty. That left me with a lot of time to make and no choice but to drive hard and not make any mistakes and save my Engine/Brakes for the end.

So I can say I drove my car hard I think my highest time with no mistakes was a 1:22+ but for the most part I was lapping at 1:20 1:21 for 65 Laps Wow I was tired

First I had to get Brad well he had a off so that saved me then It was Arron he had 20 sec on me so this took a lot laps somwhere around lap 20 or so I started seeing him and I smelled blood I finaly got passed him at turn one. Now I was low on fuel my first pit window was coming up I wanted to get away from arron as to not have to repass him after my pit but my front left tire was I think bleeding at this point

but I still pushed as much as posiable. I think arron also pitted and that saved me

Then I went after Flow and this was not going to be a easy task since Me and Flow were at the same pace for 2 weeks of practice (As you can see from our times) I am not sure how I cault up to him I can only say that it I put my head down and went for it. When I did catch up I did notice him going wide and making small mistakes so I backed off a little gept the presure waiting for him to watch me in his mirror a little to long then it happened turn 3 he went wide and in to the gravel I felt bad but not bad enough to wait

so I took my position and pushed as hard as I could to put some space between us (Still had another pit to go) he was staying back there and I was gaining time but not alot.
Then and I don't know how but I ended up in the gravel I saved my car thought I was good to go and then Arron somehow ended up in the gravel and knocked my rear wing off (Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time)

ohh well I got my wing and was to farback from flow and not enough time to catch him and my Car was never the same after that any way it was pullling to the left so I settled down and finished.
Even with out the ACC I don'tknow if I would have tooken this race I still had one more pit to go and I was not far enough ahead of Flow.
But it would have been a great closeing battle.

Well I am very happy with this race I think my performance was very good. and I am happy about that.

Well Flow again you took my Pole you took my Fastest race lap and you took podium. Nice work my Friend.

Congrates to you for a fantastic race.

Cogrates to Arron No worrys mate shit happens

Feel bad for Brad he was looking good. a piece of advice if you don't mine
I think you are making a mistake that alot of us have in the pass.
You need to practice more with Fuel. IMHO

Flow I will see you in that Murdous Track called Monoco.
Where the weak get killed and the strong survive.

Great race wish more had shown up

well, as we read from others post, it wasnt a good race for me. really ive never been very good at this track, dont know why. if you guys didnt see in one of the other posts, i lost my main hard drive last week, and basically had to start all over. i had some setups backed up, but they were the old ones that i based my new setups on. so, it wasnt a complete lost, but im about a second off all tracks, i just tested imola, best i can do was a high 21, when i had been in the low 20s. so ive got a little work to do, im going to try and use this as a positive, and build better setups than before!!! or try anyways. hitman, i appreciate any and all advice. i do test a bit with fuel, most times im practicing with at least 10 laps, somtimes much more

the biggest thing i think i need to adjust to is the distance, as coming from doing just regular races i could find online, most are only 10-15%. monoco should be fun, ive already tested there, and im close to my speed before, and i seem to actually make very few mistakes there. i guess i need walls at all tracks!!

Oh I forgot my race really didn't turn bad until I realized that I missed pit road. Lost a ton of time and had to come all the way around. Yeah, I forgot to practice pitstops.

Hey Brad

I did read your post on your hard drive failure and loseing all your setups. I just forgot that when I put in my post.

I am with you on the race distance problem up untill now I had only raced 50% races so I have a idea what you are going thru. I dont have the time to test my race setups for 100% races so I am really useing my best judgement as to say I am guessing on Raditor size & Brake ducts and all that. So for us and anyone else here who is faced with this our 100% races are in a sence test races.
When we are making our setups and practiceing with it we are never under the presure of fighting for position or trying to hold off another driver so we can only use our best judgement on how the gar will work in that situation.

What has worked for me (I don't know if any one else do's this) is that I spent dont know but countless hours making one great setup (At least I think so) I did this at the French track ( I think this track has a little of everything) then I got really used to it and now I just fine tune it to the track we are racing at. For most of the tracks it is good to go. the others well a little wing adjustment brakes and toe in. Maybe some other things
But the point is that I am really used to this setup and I know what it will do and what it won't.
Now if I could just calm down and finish my races.

Cu on track

I know 100% races need a little different setup.
I personally open my radiator and brake ducts to full open.I also know that your brakes can give out at the end if you don't do this.In qualifying it is a different story of course.My race setups are always wide open and i try to just get as much grip as possible.Last year I didn't open the radiator all the way and in Germany,I blew up in front of aaron.A hard leson learned that day.I find that even with full radiator and brake ducts your speed does not decrease a substantial amout.Try it and see.You may just make it to the end without any mechanical failures.Thats the way i do it,now if i could just keep from going into wall I would be just fine

i run with rad 5 and Brake at 7, depending on waht kind of track we are running... im little slower, but i'm never distract by mayby loosing brake or whatever. i lost brake one time at monza last year, i was so angry, so now im not taking chance anymore, i learned that its not the fastest guys that wins the race (usualy)

mercury · Post by **mercury** » 04 May 2005, 08:04

i really cant believe you have so much problems with brakes and rad setting i run brake duct 2 rad 3 on my race set up sometimes even rad 2 and i have never dnf from brake or engine overheat . isn't that wierd ??????? ........ merc

Bilbo · Post by **Bilbo** » 04 May 2005, 17:17

Well, your gearing (or the way you shift gears) and brake pressure setting affect the status of your car at the end of the race too, it's not just the ducts! Between brake ducts and brake pressure, I would trust the brake pressure to have the biggest overall impact, but I'm no expert on the subject...

carrera · Post by **carrera** » 04 May 2005, 18:30

Actually its quite simple merc.You treat your car with respect and I run that piece of metal and rubber into the ground any chance I get.Hmmm..I treat my women the same way.SHould I treat them more with respect and dignity....hell no....I treat them like shit cuz they like it that way.No fairy tales and white picket fences for me...although I have met some nice ones recently with no head games included.Thats a change for me.Am I gettin older??or smarter??...how about both..

Honda driver Carrera, Koma, Dani2i and DanTheMan your disqualified for the next 2 race, mouhahahaha!!!!

Oh come on now.
We are Honda.We should be able to cheat like ferrari anytime we like cuz we have lots of money.Looks like Buttons flings in the cabarets caught up with him as he is now split with his fiance hahahahahaa.Supid bastard he is.Well now he can party all he wants for the next month as he won't be racing obviously.It is nice to see sauber picking up speed slowly as rumors say they might be bought out by BMW.So much shit happening in the f1 news that I can barely keep up.I also hear that Minardi may be banned also for letting flow drive for 2005 hehehe.Join the party.We plan on going cabareting with Button this weekend as he is now single again.muhahahaha...LOL...So many women...Hmmm...I wonder if you can like...overdose on Viagra..hahaha...rofl...

hitman, wow, thats exactly what i did with setups originally, i practiced at france, fine tuned, then used it as a basis for all the other tracks. maybe i should have done it at spain, as in real life they say that track has many corners that are very similar to other tracks. france worked great for me though. and really, i actually didnt loose hardly anything. well, ok best to explain. this is the first time ive raced 2003 cars, so as we have gone to each track, i take my 2002 setup, and adjust it for the 03 nar cars. all i ended up loosing was the nar setups for the first 4 races, all the 2002 setups i base off of were backed up, so really as far as the rest of the season goes, im where i was. im looking forward to monoco, i think the walls will make everyone crash as much as me!! carrera, i feel ya buddy, you gotta treat women how they want to be treated, its just that some may think they want to be treated one way, but really want to be treated another

so who am i to object to that?

No Aids Racing
