sorry all i screwed up

i passed fore people at the start i brake for turn 1 but its a little to late as someone turns to be in front of me, than i spin and get back on track do some laps but spin again and than i damage my vehicle i fix it and get back on track and win some positions than go pit again and i am back @ 5th place but than in a fast corner i hit a kerb and spin and kill my car

hope ill do better next race again.

Well, mixed emotions here. Mostly relieved to finally finish (since Malaysia).
Overslept (don't ask) for the qualifying.
Race pace was way off from simulated stints which I really need to work on. A lot of minue errors accumulating to slow laptimes but at least no spinning.
Took some minor damage in that first corner incident. As I approached another car got bumped into the raceline and I just clipped it but not too critical.
Had a good fight with Limpster for 5th the last 10 laps (but the cards where stacked in my favour because of my lower wing setup).
Well to sum up: A bit too slow, a bit too clumsy but a finish and 4 points in the bag.

Perfect description of my race

Oh yes perhaps:

Seb , you tried to hard in 1st corner.
From what I ve seen in warmup, you had a great race pace and you would have passed later the one you tried to pass in 1st corner(is it drago not sure?) and I am sure the race result could have been better for you.

I am just so disappointed until I had a good race pace (1'15' high to 1'14 high) and I believed I would have had a great race with lot of fun.

I had a blast but a struggle also. Could have done way better, had a fast start overtaking a few(come on you guys really need to work on a clutch start), but then sebas infront of me went sideways so i had to dive into the sand to avoid him, that cost me alot of places offcourse and got on my way behind ingo. i was on 3 stop srtat so feld like overtaking but that was hard offcourse.Ingo made a slippery corner exit so i put my car next to him on straight before new bend, but he wasnt planning on giving away that pos and to avoid contact i had to put 2 wheels in the gras and take out 100m sign and lost most controlle so tryed to keep damage lowest as possible and let ingo infront but he spun a turn later.the rest was also very much fun but now i need some sleep.........

aha so it was YOU who took out the 100m sign....took me 10 laps to find a new braking point, hehe....

All in all a good race. I did a good qualifying and started 3rd on the grid and managed to keep that position through T1. I soon noticed that MAC and Limpy was way faster than me and I had to let them go.......but when Limpy made his first pit stop already on lap 16 or 18 I suspected he might be on a 3 stopper so I kept pushing.

I knew that Sailsy and Seb was moving up the field quickly so there was not room for any mistakes and in the middle of my second stint I found myself in 2nd place ahead of Limpy. "GREAT", I thought and with my 2nd place already finished in my head I went into the sandtrap which left me in 5th place and that ruined my podium I though.....

BUT....lady luck smiled at me and I managed to retake a few positions and I ended up 3rd after seeing Limpy limp (....ok...really bad joke there...sry) back to the pits with something broken.....

so....the lesson here.....DON'T think too much.....hehe

Woow nice race at barca.

Not too bad quali lap allowed to start from P1. I knew it was important on this track to start from first line.
I managed to start perfectly followed by limp and killa so I was confident for T1 to avoid a contact.
After a few laps limpy was still following me easy and that surprised me... I thougt damn... Is he the one who made the F1C physics or what...!

I understood his fast pace when he pitted revealing a 3 stops strategy... I thought, well watch on your tyres, problems to come but all went well to the finish line.

Wanna thank you all for the blue flags reactions you all moved perfectly, It's a great pleasure to be back on track with you guys.

NAR Rulezzz

Cya on track

Quali was poor but would only have made 3 on grid, will look at my clutch.

Race start was bad, expected a restart there, what it the rule, many cars could have been wiped.
Went from 6th to last.

First stint passed a few cars and got into the points, was pm, drago, and another battling for the scraps.

2 stopper saved me, but middle stint was poor.

anyways made it back to a reasonable 4th so not a bad result.

WE MUST REMAIN CALM AT TURN ONE PPL
