Round 1 - Edmonton [Sept. 4]

Most likely be present!  

Vais tout faire pour être là pour 20h30

Présent !

If someone could spare a Chevron setup with me that would be much appreciated  

 

désolé je ne pourrais pas être la ce soir.

Finally absent  

 

Quali launched !  

Bon je suis en progres par rapport à l'open
A l'open j'avais cassé mon moteur au 15eme tour, ce soir il a tenu jusqu'au 20eme  

A ce moment de la course j'etais 14eme à 1 tour et je servai de lièvre à Philippe  

Je trouve toujours ce mod génial, il faut juste que j'apprenne à piloter et normalement d'ici la fin de saison je devrai pouvoir marquer quelques points  

Results and standings are up on the website

Les moteurs sont plus solides que sur les F5000 mais si tu ne lèves jamais le pied en montant les vitesses, ça cassera toujours.  

Disappointed to say the least, So slow on the straight, top end speed that is, Had a moment at turn 1 and was stuck in the middle of the track and that resulted in the biggest fanny fit ever! So in a blind panic I just quit. Enjoyed my little battles sorry for the bump Carl.

Well done to the podium and the winner, not sure who won. Ain't looked yet

It Was great fun while it lasted Richard ... I Was also surprised how i was able to catch you on the straights
I Used your setup although i lowered the rear wing and changed the gears a little but you where killing me in the corners ..

I Think this mod has a great way of equalling the cars especially towards the end of the race when the tyres are completely knackered it does not matter which car your in when the tyres are dead there oh so dead ...
I tried everything to catch Jason in the last 10 laps eventually i managed to get on his tail with just 2 laps to go .... I Could see Jason was also struggling for grip as we appoached the start finish line for the penultimate lap Jason went Sideways and with the superior power of the March i managed to go by but also at this moment Franck was coming through i let him through as i was getting the blue flag and could not get back on the racing line as Alessio was also there , and surprisingly Jason also nipped through  as we drove to the next corner the 2nd slow right hander Alession spun and ... Jason opened up a very small gap .... By the time we got to the stadium i was back on his tail but he did not make the same mistake again .... So finished right in his tail ....

Very exciting race for me Thanks to Richard , Jonathan and Jason .. Happy with 8 points ..
Well Done Gui and Congrats all finishers   

I enjoyed myself a lot fighting with Carl, Richard, Ben and many others until I ran wide around the 12 lap mark in the long left after the chicane and I apparently missed the Sector line there a went a lap down on almost everyone

The car wasn't good on the straight, far too high downforce holding me back but I was able to be a lot quicker in the corners which made the battle with, especially, Carl very good

Will do a lot more testing for the next track to get more out of the car but as long as I stay on the lead lap and get a lot of good battles like the first laps battles today I will be happy non the less  

What an epic race. Started dead last due to my late arrival, but was up to 18th at the end of lap 1, which was like navigating an obstacle course!  Had to work very hard to get by Patrick, with put me out of touch with most of the field.  After more attrition, I was up to 12th, but Carl was slowly reeling me in. Thanks to several front runners coming through, I was able to keep the gap between 4 and 6 seconds. With a few laps to go, my tires were down to the cords, and I was struggling to make it around some of the corners. Starting the final lap, I got sideways and Carl had me passed easy.  But by coincidence, Frank was coming through and we both got a blue flag. Frank split both of us, and I used his slipstream to edge alongside Carl. By turn 1, I had the line and was back by!  Alessio spun behind me, allowing a small gap to open. Came back to the line a half second in front of Carl. Thoroughly challenging and definitely enjoyable.  From 25th to 12th and 9 points. Thanks to Carl and everyone else for a great event!

Ah, I will fix that then don't worry.

First sorry about my admin mistakes last night, with the useless formation lap and the spin I did during it   

I got pole but being down on power compared to Greg and Tiago I couldn't keep them behind at the start, and half spun at the last turn at the end of the lap, sending me down to 5th, so bad first lap.  
Then I had a good short battle with Antoine and Chris but eventualy got through to 3rd place I managed to catch Tiago and overtake him (sorry if I pushed you off the track in the last turn, I couldn't see where you were  ) to go back to 2nd place. Then I tried to catch Greg, but we were running very similar laptimes and could only claw back one tenth or two per lap.
I got lucky and Greg made a big mistake in the second sector, so I could grab the lead and hold it to the finish, despite going off the track while lapping Eric.

By the end of the race my hard tires were sliding quite a bit, but still capable of low 1'32s so everything went ok

Congrats all finishers, see ya all at Westwood, our first time on this small and fun track

I never expected that to happen  

Thank you very much Gui  

I was very disappointed by the race yesterday. I really wanted to do it, but I did only 2 formations laps (why 2? 2 is probably better than 1 ) and 4 turns. In the 4th, I can't avoid Chris Bolin who had a problem of braking. The tires smoke hid his car. After the accident, I was really upset. But it's the races life.

First of all I want to appologise to you Ben, I spun my car in the 4th corner, lost control of it after braking hard. I had problems with my brake balance, the car was really unstable before the 4th and the last corners on the track while braking.
I went back on to the track and found my car was really damaged, and I knew I could not carry on with that much damage to it, was pretty upset with myself having such a bad race

Congrats to Guillaume for winning of the 1st race of this season!
Well see you guys on the next one, and thanks for racing!

hello,
I'm sorry for your off track Guillaume, I just saw the replay * , I see no fault of my own, but if you think I'm wrong tell me.
I have preferred to abandon the next round anyway I do not get anywhere with these cars
*(how to go at the end of the replay without fully looking at?)

PS:
is that someone could pass me the set up for me to redo a few laps?
I started with RF and I have big doubts that I did.

J'ai jamais dit que c'était ta faute, mais en choisissant de te mettre à droite à cet endroit, tu me forces à prendre large dans le double droit, et je suis rentré trop vite dedans.

There is no problem. It's a fact of race.  

Ce mod est très chouette, je trouve, et quand j'aurais trouvé les réglages qui me conviennent çà ira (peut-être..) mieux...

Au premier virage après le départ, je me loupe et quitte la route... je repart 25ème... Je remonte peu à peu et tente de rejoindre Patrick et Carl qui sont en bagarre. Mais je fais à peu près une faute par tour, donc je découvre plus les bas-côtés du circuit que les qualités de ma superbe March 76b...

Par un bel optimisme, dont je m'étonne moi-même, j'ai pris le départ en pneus tendres... Après une vingtaine de tours ils étaient au rouge et çà glissait copieusement... Patrick casse son moteur et je m'accroche pour revenir sur Carl... Au 30ème tour... RETOUR-BUREAU... (Et oui mon Ben çà fait chi... ).

J'ai repris la course puisque la voiture était intacte et j'ai terminé à 2 tours de l'ami Guillaume, que je félicite pour sa victoire ainsi que le podium et tous les autres.
