Well first race start was great....except brad got left out in pit lane so we had to restart.Next start was not so good.For some reason I ended up in last position behind everyone even though I was supposed to be 5th.
Then I see brad beside me so I let him go....I crest the hill to brake for the hard left hander and Brad is braking on the outside of aaron.I have no place to go but down the middle hitting aaron.I kinda wish Brad wouldn't try this shit halfway through the first lap though.You can't win on the first lap.I am very sorry for aaron as I was just feeling so sick when i clipped him so i waited for a bit to let him pass.I then went down for a drive through penalty and realized I would just be last anyway so that was that.I hope next race goes better....good start for 2fast though.He is quick on the launch...

not a good race for me. sorry about the restart, somehow, i didnt see us switch to race sesion, i hit drive button, come out right after start, get to end of pit lane, red light, wait for it, but it never comes. i noticed carrera was not in posistion on second start, but it was to late. carrera, i was not trying to pass aaron, he braked very early for that corner, i was doing the best i could not to run into the back of him, thats why i dart to outside. based on my practice pace, i decided to run a 1 stop, but i dont think i practiced enough with that much fuel. also, i decided to run hard tires for the first time (yes, usa was soft) thinking they would last a little longer. WRONG! by lap 15-they were sliding pretty good, lap 20, when i should have been getting pretty quick, i was sliding so much i was slower than the first 5 lap pace i ran!!! screw hard tires, im soft all the way now.

My race now.
Im sarting to get in the last year routine race. Sylverstone was up to now, my 1st race last year, so im more use to the track of the end of season.
1st i beat my PB on my qualif lap, did a 18.034

i was all shaking, lol. I was realy prepare for that race. I went on a good start, but i knew i had to manage with a pain in the ass, lol the word are exact. Motorhead was in my ass from -.2 to -.8 for all the 15 first lap untill he pit in. I was too slow for him, but fast enough to not alow him to pass. I knew he was on 3 stop and I was on 2, from there i had to keep up at distance. i did a little spin that cost me 7sec in middle race. but it was not too bad.
Now since we had different pit strategy, you woundt beleive, Motor pit out side by side from his last pit at lap 45 and i was on track since 5 lap before him. From there i was litelraly trying to keep in front by anyway i coud. But at 4 lap from end, i did a Montoya of me, i made a mistake and he pass me by but i went right in his ass for the end of race. i was puhing so hard, i even went side by side on turn end of straight and wheels hit toghetter just pushing motor away form few feets, glad you didnt went out of track, but he were able to keep in front even with that. Congratulation Motor, il make a CD of that repaly and pin it on my wall room, lol
2 big lag occur to me in race, for no reason, all in background in off. But one make Motor pass trough me in a curve, but he slow and take back his position, that was gentleman. Another one at end, but you were at 1 sec and didnt realy do nothing to chrono, few .1 or.2, no big deal.
Aaron was realy fast on this track, cause i was hardly able to lap him. 2Fast seem to manage his way out nicely. I feel bad for Carrera, Aaron and Brad for server session problem and situation. Hitman you seem lonely on track, but i was getting nervous to see you at 7sec in back, i touhg you woud catch me...
Cya next one.

Great start for me. However, i was very off pace due to my strategy. Hitman hit me causing permanent damage to my car in last turn of circuit in the starting laps. I was a little pissed because he could have tried to pass on the straight pretty easily. Its ok though im looking forward to next race.

Well where do we start. First start went well no incidents. The 2nd one about the time the lights went out I realized I was in 3rd and quite frankly would have preferred the back cause my car needed a lap or 2 to get going. Right before our first lap incident I didn't see anyone although I was aware around about were brad was.I did brake just a little early but after all it was the first few corners. I didn't know that carrera was even behind me. I'd have to check the replay but I think Brad had a run and I figured he was going to act on it an I may have backed out a little to let him over take. It seemed we were all trying to hard too early perhaps. I feel really bad for carrera. Sorry m8 I hated to end your race so early.
I was really hoping to have a good race here too I had a good car but it wasn't as good after the accident. On to the next one I guess.

np with me aaron, i guess it probably wasnt super early, and it was the first lap and all, i guess i just didnt anticipate it. yea, when i saw you go wide after hitman passed, i did try to take advantage of it, but once i saw i was not going to clear, i tucked in behind you right as we start to crest the hill, then the rest, as they say, is history lol sucks for carrera, although watching replay, boy carrera you were flying in there!! im almost glad you hit aaron, probably would have passed me! big jk aaron/carrera

What can I say, this is has to be my best! ever race in my sim racing career because Flow and I were racing our necks off, tyres rubbing side by side, exiting the pits side by side, good stuff from the start to the finished.....f*****g good race Flow

. Flow if you can try to post our race replay so everyone can watch this worth it replay m8 thks

. You said that I was faster than you Flow, no m8 believed me I was pushing hard on every lap just to keep up with you....it was not a easy, next time try to slowed down plz

Well,
All is good really...no big deal although after watching replay I realize that my braking point is much deeper than brads and aarons.I run almost full downforce on that track and when i crested the hill with my usual braking point i saw two cars takin it easy into the hairpin.Yes...I would have made it ok but brad and aaron were feelin each other out there trying not to hit each othe...guess what...I did it for you..LOL...sorry about that.I will try again next race to just lay back and go for it when i am lower on fuel.My setup is very stable on full fuel where others aren't.Damn..I thought i'd have something for the front runners but again...there is always next race..I'll just have to practise a bit more for qualifying...race setup seems ok for now.

I forgot to set my No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car (except autopit) you can find this in your PLR.file. That's why at the end of this race I didn't have control of the car to bring it back nice and easy to the garage. Has you can see this is what could happen if you don't set this in your PLR.file.

sorry about that Flow.

Hello All
Well first I applogize to 2Fast for the bump. I was setting you up for the pass on the long striaght I don't know why you braked in the middle of the corner (Well I think I know but!!) In any case I was to close to brake and bumped you.
My Race
After seeing the Qual results I new I had nothing for Flow and Motor.
But was hopefull to have a great race with the rest of the guys.
Was having a good race with 2Fast and Brad but after the incindent Brad passed me and I pushed to catch back up as I started to catch Brad I saw him spin and passed him for the rest of the race I was for the most part alone there was no way I was going to catch Flow and Motor although I did not lay back but I did find myself loseing concentration and making small mistakes.
For the most part this was no way my best race.
Glad I brought it home.
Congrates to the finishers
Wish I would have been fast enough to get in that race.

Well its the 1st time i realy felt competitive. I realy like that track, but i hope its not a one shot. will see next race what happend.
I know that Motor is still a blast and more experimented than me and faster (faster of +1 sec or +.1, its still faster, hehe), but at least i was able to stay in front, and with Motor in your back, no need to drive in mirror. If hes not in safe position to pass, he wont do it. Ok at end you start feeling mutch more pressure, cause is not there to see you win from behind. But its done cleanely.
Was a pleasure, i hope one day all driver in race will have the chance of tasting that felling. But remind, Motor stayed in back for all race, untill 3 lap from end, his patiente and pressure did the job. Race is not win in lap 1.
Have fun next one
