That was a pretty patetic drive from me.
Qual was ok p3 few tents behind killa, drago ofcourse with his alien speed far away
Anyway race start was bad as i made a jump start and that was the begin of the end. Didnt realized that i had to make an drive trough so i stopped at pit and they worked on mine car. THen i realized i had to do a drive trough so i had to come in again. So laying in last position fight mine way up again then. Sorry for ingo at eau rouge, hope you didnt crashed there, i thought i could make it but as i was on the outside line i might should have backed off there but i didnt.
And then few corners later i clipped the grass and ended with the rear in the wall, could go on but car was to heavily damaged so that was it.

That was a RoC at the image of my season: disastrous. Lost a wing in qualifying, not a big deal, I had no hope for Q and I was almost relieved to start near the back of the line.
Start of the race was ok, went last but survived the start, which was not bad. On lap 4, I see Steve recovering from a spin at Les Combes and the first thing I know, I'm spinning myself into the wall there, losing a wing and damaging the suspension. Limping to the pits from there, I come out as the lead pack comes at me so I move over. The car was not easily driveable and just before I left (actually, as I was reaching for the ESC key), while on the grass to let lappers pass, I knocked down a sign before Pouhon, sorry about that.
I'm happy to forget this 2006 season now and prepare for 2007! Still, thanks to everyone for this season, it was still fun despite my lack of results!

Hmmmmmmm, what to say? LOL. It was fun to at least have people to race with for most of the race. Was awesome having so many on the grid !! My concentration was a bit off, and as Bilbo said i lost a wing, but no other damage to the car, Pitted, and came out way back in the pack. At about lap 22 < i think > i clipped the wall after Eau Rouge, and suffered some suspension damage. I tried to go on, but my car was a bit too squirrely to control, so i decided to get out before i caused any damage to someone else.

THIS IS THE WORST RACE EVER
amajgad, i did a mika hakkinen (he did it in spain though)...enormuos gaps, being in 3rd position with only 3 laps to go, and just as i was sayint "eau rogge, now we only meet 3 more times" the engine dies ...just like that, without a warning.
and the race...as soon as it started i felt that this was gonna go awsome, did a few overtakes in the beginning and realized that i could without any problems hold the car on track for the entire race

. then i got hit by noob, really weid accident think he thought i was gonna brake later...although he was over a sec behind (at least thats what i thought) so i didnt even bother checking the mirrors...and bang

np m8, but the car felt a bit weird afterwards...a bit hard to steer it on the straights

anyway, killa and carrera blasted by and after a bit of fighting both of them found a wall to beat up. Ledoug and killa scared me just around the second pit stop by driving fast but apparently they drove too fast...and then there was 3 laps left....and whoa, totally insane...cant belive it still!
in my heart this will always be a 3rd position

, and i dunno if i did anything weird with my setup or so but i really think that if the game randomizes engine failiures this feature should be removed
well well, awsome race now its time to cry. and thx for the season, nice racing. and....i cant imagine drago fucking up, so congratz drago for the win. and at least the 3rd place went to my local area in sweden...

Kaffemaskin:
I'm sorry for being a bulldozer. I could swear that you braked early but I probably lost wing pressure due to me being too close to you. Sry sry sry

(btw I have lost you from my ICQ, reinstalled a few weeks ago and some names fell off.....)
As for the race and qualifying:
I was 2nd on the grid! Amazing....a great q lap for my standards. Probably a PB....I don't practice q laps so it was a big surprise to be 2nd behind Drago.
The race then.....well.....that's where it shows when you haven't practiced enough.....I guess 1 hour is not even close to enough. Two front wings lost and some suspension damage......damnit damnit.
What could have been the best race ever turned out to be "only" a great race.
Thx to everyone who was there!

I was hoping a top 5 in qualif and top 5 in race. Went not bad, Honestly i dont remember and notice were started on grid, lol around 5-7 i think.
At start of race with was good, i wanted to do the inside of Killa, but killa had to close door he was finghting with P2M. i was in the ass of P2M who was fighting Killa after Eaurouge. I had a setup that i was not afraid of ass folowing in EauRouge, withc pay me. On straight, no place to pass, killa and P2M side by side. P2M was faster so i put my nose in is ass and draft with him, leaving Killa in a bad position inside the curve, witch he had no choice to let us pass. I must say that is my best move of 2006 season, droping off Killa like that. From there i was now feeling Killa pressure and P2M and Drago eating few .sec laps after lap. I lost P2M in middle race, with Killa loosing time in back (i know he had to fight Carrera). Then was a relief.
I was even able to lead the race for 2-3 laps, after Drago did a pit sooner than me. From there was a cruzing ride till the end. Hoping that Drago had problem, but with never happend.
I finish 2nd finaly, wouhou!!!
Congratulation Drago, to all driver that race today. I think we can say that 2006 Race of Champion was a concluent good event, i think we can all be proud of our self. 19 car on grid, NoAidsRacing... A blast!
Cya all in 2007!

Oh dear...
Q: Lost a sec in a mistake in T1 but made a good lap so time was ok.
R: Had a good start, managed to get into second behind drago. Then it felt familiar.. me and drago on a 15 lap stint. Did some fast laps, but decided to hang back and let the nerves settle. We came up on traffic and I had to make a pass at my weakest place on the track - busstop. The trademark of the f1 car rears its ugly face; snap oversteer into pitwall.. and since this is Spa the next chance to pit is 30 min away... made it back somehow, went back out, but the repair job was as poor as it was fast (basic principles

) ...so I called it a day.
But I must say I am pleased with the race for as long as it lasted. I decided that I would push today - acually race and not tip toe around on 2 secs slower than my practice pase. And I did, but I guess I still have some work on controlling that oversteer but it will come...
Thank you all for a fantastic season!
Special thanks go out to:
The Administration: for the smooth operation
Steve B: for the fantastic tracks
DanTheMan: for the stable hosting (never had a problem once)
Already looking forward to 2007
Edit:
I just saw the posts that Drago won...
Congratulations Dragon!!
Well deserved as always!!

Congrat all, who finished race and who didn't.
I had some little problem on rear tyre when i pushed a lot, but when i saw Mark and P2Mnoob out, and Flow at 10 second i thought i was better to take it a little easier; but errors are always behind the corner
It wat a pity for all the dfn , and then a FANTASTIC race for me
Hey next time i want my Ferrari back lol
After this great event i'd like to see you guys more on track during this winter pause, waiting next year

.
You can choose where and how and i'll do my best to be there
C u on track.

That explains it Kaffe.....it is not an excuse though.....100% my fault.
I locked up the brakes and couldn't stear.....I just sat there and watched your car roll 2-3 times......I though "damnit, what have I done!"

Flow.....damn.....could have been a great(er) battle but I made some mistakes and you got away.....next time my friend, next time......

Not a great qually for me but that didn't really surprise me. Had some great battles with steve b and a few other in the early part of the race. I wish my pace would have been a little better but all in all I'm pretty happy where I finished. It's always interesting to see both divisions together. Thx guys.

congrats too all , this was awesome.
The start was kinda hard as i think Killa put up a smoke screen so i couldnt see shite so i got scared and decided to take it easy so i lost a few places.
Then i got stuck behind roadrunner wich i failed to cleanly overtake because he was driving a bit very defensive. offcourse i overjumped myself in that situation so i had to retyre.
It was very good to be back with you all and i hope alot of you will start testing f1c 1.06 now to see what should happen for nar 2007.
Thanx alot and cya all soon
