Good race all,. First i want to appologyze to all for requesting a restart. I will explain. I went out of garage to get in car on start grid. I was in a Minardi, and i drive with t-cam and i saw that the Jordan was trought my car, or what i tought was my car. But instinctivly, i said problem in back, but never realized i was seing in bac, what i was not suppose to do. Computer put me in wrong car at end... when light came off, i realize i was not driving my car and cause accident in front and slow down all in back. Try to find your car with + or - in 10 car in less than a sec, i was trying to din my car, but when i finaly came in, i was in wall and Brad was damage and few screw theyr start position. sorry again.

Now the race, im little sad that i made too mutch mistake, nothing important but i lost enought to come back on the 37 sec gap between me and motorhead. unless it woud be a nice ending, Motor was loosing his brake at end.

I was stunk in a bad situation... I was having Hitman in my ass for almost all half end of race. Mistake after mitake, we where exchanging position with less than 2 sec gap. In the last 10 lap, i was getting in Hitman ass, and instead of screwing both race in 3rd and 2nd, i manage to pull off of 2 sec at one place. then when 4 lap was left, i started to push, and he seem having little problem of stability. I was preyign him to slow down, and il do same to manage my brake, but he was rushing me, till last curve.

Can we beleive that we finidht a 100% race after 60 lap with a gap of .410?

Congratulation Motor, 1st place. Xz in div2, and Mike, first race and finish, i had no problem passing him, was clean, thanks all, was fun.

[Flow]

lol in first few laps, i was following Brad, Koma and Cart, man you 3 were playing with fire. i stayed in back for few corner, i was expecting you 3 to get involve in big crash. i wanted to stay away of any problem so soon in the race. I dont know yet how it came out, but you guys are more on edge than me, lol...

Hope you enjoy your ride...

Next race in at home, Montreal, and in the day, il be at real GP with Xzwins and few other friends, i hope to get home soon to race our NAR Montreal GP, hehe

Well I don't want to go into what shoulda coulda woulda, but computer problems once again made me pull off the track with 2-5 fps for about 20 seconds. However, it was fun until that point. I didn't have the lead for long because i made a small mistake and went into 2nd by around lap 2. Then i spun big and came back, tried to pass Koma but I think we had contact and I spun off, no damage, came back in 6th and worked my way back up again. Caught Brad and passed him into the either double apex right hander or late apex right hander (depending on how you take it) with like a 30mph closing rate (thank God he saw me coming). Passed koma into the last slow chicane and stayed in 3rd. Then the comp problems set in. Oh well, it would have been fun to finish because I think I was competitive, but no big deal.

Onwards to the next one!!

[brad]

man that coulda been fun:( the first start was pretty bad, im sorry we had to restart, but we had the deal with flow, and i think hitman said that by the time the computer put him in the car, the race had started. i kinda wonderd why he didnt go, while i was stalled, with my nose shoved up his diffuser and titoff(i think, it was a jordan) was sandwiched behind me. lol so i think 4 cars or so were takin out on the grid. anyways, i of coarse decided to run a 1 stop again, youd think i would have learned by now. i thought i carried a pretty good pace untill my crash, but maybe running that heavy just makes it to tough, i dont know. lol cart, i thought good driving on both our parts:) almost got the cross-over on ya, but couldnt accelerate. oh well, was in third, kinda maintaining the gap to hitman, goint up the hill after the 180, went to far left on the second part of the s, touched the grass, spun, sliding backwards againt the fence, i was thinking i was just going to need a rear wing, then caught a fence edge and ripped off the left rear wheel. oh well

I basically got completely fucked on that restart. It seems some still don't realize you can't win on the first corner. Everyone ahead of me braked early. Flow was the only real smart one he actually went off the track completely. I got pounded from the rear by a bar. From then on my race was over. I keep preaching that mixing the divisions could mess things up and could cost others points and ironically I got screwed on it. It certainly should never be done again. I had plenty of time to become more and more pissed off and when the time came to see Koma I certainly didn't make it easy for him to say the least. Sorry Koma I blame the decision to run us all together more than you at this point. Had I known before qualifying that we were running together I certainly would have tossed my qual lap so I could have started in the back.

[Flow]

I feel bad, i take on me, sorry aaron, i ask to restart, prob you did better on 1 start. i had my fingher on esc. but i was frustrated, i didnt stlaled or nothing, i tought i cause accident on Brad and slow other in back, if i wound implicated anybody else in that computer wrong car situation, i woud not ask a restart and simply quit. But i felt little bad for who i disturb and make crash. I my brain woud get faster, i woud notice sooner that i was place in the wrong minardi by the computer. I was 9th instead of 3rd, that got me realy angry.... sorry again

[Motorhead]

First race P1 CART then suddenly he makes a mistake, that brings me in P1 then I heard Flow saying "RESTART PLZ!!", I know the feeling off having a bad start.....so I decided to stop racing and press ESC for Flow.

Ok Second race restart and only 6 laps to the end, and then suddenly snap!! from the rear . I allready knew from that moment the brakes were running out. So all I had to do from that point to the end was just making sure to brake lightly to bring the car safe and sound.

A lucky win for me today thks to Hitman 2 mistake when he was P1 after my 3rd pitstop and brake problems.

[Flow]

k, now i feel better, Titoff was was in same position as the other minardi, when 1st race started, his car react like he was hit from behind, cause his car was trough the second Minardi. We were 3 on same grid line, and at 2 restart all 3 of us were place correctly. humm that take me off a little pressure of screwing that good start for some and yes, one who got disturb by it, well they wont complain...

[Flow]

To all driver, i check the replay of Aaron, yes he got hit from behind, but keep in mind to not stay right behind another driver. Drive in "Z" position to alow you and escape on right or left he in front it brake too soon. Yes race is not win in 1st corner... For me i never stay right behind, always little left or little right depending on were in back the car is, i try to never get cought in sandwich between driver, that may help some avoid stupind bumping, hehe its an advice, take it or not... at least try it!!!

[CART Rulz]

Hey Aaron, cool it man, its just a game...

[XZWINS]

cool race !!!! i was very excited to race with the bigs!!! lol it was cool to have many drivers ...
After all the figths in the 15 laps i made my way alone until i fougth a little bit with Hitman.... ok ok i was empty in fuel and he was probably full LOL
For many many laps i was alone incressing the gap with mike and Koma was getting futher and futher... until around 20 laps before the end Koma and I made a real good fight! I was giving him a lot of pressure for maybe 10 laps and he resist because I spun
until he ran into the pit wall....
so i finised 4 on 10 and even more made a 10 points win in division 2

2 points from the unreachebale bilbo (I talk for my self )
and i would say good one motorhead i finished 2 sec after him but one lap late, he did pass me around lap 29 .... .... it could made me a little warm in my heart to finish in the same lap but well !!!

After hearing about the mayhem in the start and in the first corner.I am glad I did not race in that one hehehe.I do feel for aaron though.I am just glad I didn't get involved in the first corner.And Flow,I had that happen to me in a NAR race also back in germany.I got put in Killaheads car for some reason and not my own.Needless to say that turned out to be a mess also.
carrera

[Flow]

Thanks, glad to know im not paranoying ,lol But, since i ask a restart with problem and it not other dirver fault or driver that have quit before restart was accept like Brad, we shoud have a rule that we shoud be place in back grid line. Unless this coud cause abusive request. So i woud have lost my 3rd and be replace at 10th position.

This woud be fair, need to be discuss, or simply maintain no restart for any reason at all (what i wont vote for).

Hello
Well Congrates to
MotorHead and Flow great race
Also to the rest who finished Congrates.

The Start on both occasions was a little sticky I could see in my mirror a lot of smoke so I know things were ruff back there.

For me I have never did good at this track I just can not get confertable here. Then I really did not have a lot of time to practice so I was never close enough in speed to even think about winning let alone finsh.

Out of the first tuen I was 3rd to my surprise and with Cart and Motor in front of me I new there was no way I could keep up then cart made a mistake and I was behind Motor who very quickly just pulled away like I was standing still my only hope was to push make no mistakes and pass him in the pits that worked and I got out in front but my tires and my skill did not cooerate and I made a mistake Motor got pass me and pulled away. That Bastard can Drive

After that I made another mistake and got back in 5Th so I had to make my way back up and that was fun Had a couple good fights and I am not sure were I passed flow for 2nd but somewhere in to the race I knew he was back there but the time for flow said 30+ sec so I backed of a relaxed and all of a sudden he was right behind me and this with in 2 0r 3 laps Now I know thats imposable so I think the Lag and anoucer and my time on the dispaly was all screwed up. So I pused and pused trying to keep him away and we fought it out for the rest of the race I passed him he passed me and at that time I had no tires very little brakes. So I put on a little presure just to let him know I was back there hoping he would make a mistake. But Flow drove it home

I think everyone drove a very good race once we got thry the first turn.

One thing I did get and don't if anyone else got it was that connection diplay when the connection is breaking down.

And I think like Flow in the matter of restarts and we should have a open discusion on this. We have no controll at all of what the game/comp is going to do when there is lag so there should be something in place when the is a fauire such as grid positions or the game taking almost a 1 min to me on track. I can understand the first turn no restart thing but on the grid problems I think it should be restarted IMHO.

Great race had a great time

Hello

Hitman

Yeah I did but only 2 times on lap 35 or 45 for 3 seconds. I didn't see no lag and I was suprised for 10 car's on the grid
