Qual: Pole.
Race: 2nd.

Great race with good pace

I was 30kg. short on extra weight so I forced a stop'n'go, starting before green, to compensate for that, hope it's ok with all

lost about 45 sec.

From there it was just to keep the car on road and go fast

I had lots of framedrops when overtaking and think I accidently bumped into fromgehenna when passing, sorry for that..... Hope I didn't do any damage....

All in all, a great race for me.

Grats to other podiums, and everyone else for finishing race on this crasy track

And thanks for making room.... That's admirable..

Looking forward to the next one....

Q: 5
R: 1

Fantastic race for me. With the succes ballast (55kg) I just couldn't match the quickest guys on this track in the qualify session - not even close actually.

But I had quite a bit of luck in the beginning of the race. Peter Munkholm disconnected at race start, and left me in 4. place. Henrik Hoier and Quake went of in the second corner, leaving me in 2. place. And then Nikolaj Pedersen pulled in for his "planned" stop 'n' go, putting me in the lead.

And then I just stayed there. Stability really is the key to victory on this crazy circuit

Thanks for another good race - it was great fun. And thanks to all the guys that let my get by so easily, it really keeps it fair and safe for everyone, so thanks!

Hope to see you and even more people at the next race
(even though i will probably get my ass wooped, with the 95kg ballast)

So I was not the only one having frame problems?? Maby the track/car sombination or something else on netcode of the game?? Most of the time it was ok to drive close to another car but I had 3....4 times that the framerate dropped. Also it dropped 2 times when I was alone.

No wories Dane..... I was expecting you to go left but you stayed right.

I'm still quite lost with these car's. Also the Zytek is dead slow and down on power but at least it's easy to drive. And it sounds like a race car unlike the diesel abominations. I have to put "other car" volume to 15% cauce of them

Sorry about that, i set your weight ballast in the afternoon using the name indicated in the race results (with capital letters on first and second name)

Obviously it didn't work (you should have had 30kg for second place) I hope it didn't mess up your race, in any case it was my mistake.

We are appointing two more server gods so that there will always be someone on the server able to make changes if things are not set correctly prior to the race for any reason.

After a few weeks of entertaining people on a Saturday night i am making sure next Saturday is free for me to race and hopefully get back into the championship running.

Well - I came close this time - Competed in Qualifying and 2 mins before the race I had a power blackout - just ridiculous!! On the plus side I won both of my iRacing races beforehand!

Perhaps it was the universes way of saying don't race - because I was very under-prepared for this race and probably would've just been an annoyance.

I'll prepare well for Donington and hopefully get to the Green flag, let alone the chequered flag! haha.

Look forward to some good fighting on the circuit

4th place for me, after qualifying in 8th.

I was so slow on my no-stop strategy with the medium tyres I was frightened into making a strategy changed based on the laps I saw Kim do on Saturday morning while practicing. I was hoping others were one-stopping but it would appear the only one was me! It was a great run for me though, I raced on a full tank so only had to change the tyres at the stop. My laps were pretty consistent and I was so surprised to get up to 2nd early in the race.

I couldn't hold onto it and had 3rd and 4th right on me at my stop. I came out in 6th, quickly made it to 5th and chased as hard as I could for 4th. The gap was over 20 seconds so not much hope. Until, about 5 laps to go the 4th placed man made a mistake and damaged his car quite badly. This was my chance to seize the position. I made he pass on the penultimate lap around the outside through the esses. So a happy result in the end, I really need to practice and come up with some setup wizardry to make this car a race winner. I imagine that is beyond my simracing capabilities at the moment, so I can't set my sights on winning this championship. It's alot of fun anyway, so see you all at Donington
