Let's hope for a repeat of Suzuka's super-clean first lap

Great 1st lap. You hit me on the left rear at the start then shift all the way left and panic break in front of one of the best drivers and he nails you and the resulting chaos sweeps me and others off the track

+1

Got hit twice in the back before I got really angry and hit him before retiring...

Ask me for more explanations  [/quote

That's what I thought.

The fact you hit him out of rage because your suspension was damaged says it all. This alone makes any claim you have against him null and void, as you were fully prepared to hit him back for hitting you (despite the fact a slightly damaged suspension is not always the end of a race). An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind; and it's sure as hell not a good attitude to take in sim-racing.

Josh, I appreciate you defending me, but try not to take it too far, I've already had words with Tiago about this

Shut up Joshua. Read your PMs.

Fine. Point taken.

Matthew you will need to focus on your race starts and courtesy, you already have the speed down for sure! you are really fast. Once you show you are consistent and not prone to bone head moves you'll get a top car and I suspect will have many wins. But not right now bumper car boy.

I think this pretty much sums up my race. My deepest apologies go to Tiago, Mike and all others for the 'bumper cars'    
tbh I didn't realize that I hit Mike at the start, but certainly with Tiago I understand that I was far too impatient and that my racecraft was nigh-on unacceptable and, to say the least, needs work!

Believe it or not, this is the first rave in which I've ever collided with an opponent with race-ending consequences. I intend it to be my last!

Though I agree, Mike's right - I'm better off in the slower cars until I get my racecraft together

Good night, guys.

Funny thing is I see the cat saying this. No problem BCB (bumper car boy) you'll get it right. Accepted. Damn you are a fast starter.

Well... yeah. Was running fairly well. Just keeping the old Larrousse on the track and doing ok. Ran around 3rd to 5th from the offset and was just turning laps.

Made my stop and got back after Cyril and Richard and came across a slow Williams. I might add at this point whoever it was in the Williams did nothing wrong at all I just put myself off line passing you and then wanted to keep pushing straight away which resulted is locked rears and red rear suspension along with a stalled car.

That said, really enjoyed the driving and feeling massively dwarfed on the straights by the faster cars.

Hope that we do some more historic F1 very soon.

Oscar.

In the meantime, Matt&Philippe have retired aswell.

Yves is driving very slowly(damaged suspension?), he might get caught by Richard in the end.

EDIT: Could also be that his fuel consumption was on the edge...

EDIT2: Could also be the brakes. He just lost it at the hairpin and lost the front wing.

1. Goissen
2. Placais
3. Coxon
4. Derkir
5.Marucco
6. Richards(DNF)
7. Ryon

6 cars running. 20 laps to go.

Dang, if I hadn't stuffed it in the wall at the kink I could've scored!  

me suis bien régalé en mod spectateur sur la première partie de la course sur l'arsouille entre greg et yves, bravo les gars

Yves is driving without his FW and Richard keeps closing in. He had to avoid Cyril's car too.

I think both of them have brake issues.

I was running 4 duct with 94% pressure.


EDIT: AND COXON TAKES P2!

OMG!

Gregoire has spun at the pit entry and lost both wings!

Is Coxon going to win???

*With commentator voice*

GOISSEN OUT!

COXON TAKES THE LEAD!

Go Richard go! Man he has had a great race!

Why did Greg retire? (i am watching American feetbrawl).

 

Both Yves and Cyril without FW.

1. Coxon 71 laps
2. Placais 70 laps
3. Goissen(DNF) 69 laps
4. Derkir 68 laps
5. Marucco 66 laps
6. Ryon 65 laps

rupture des disques de freins a 20 tours de l arrivée jamais vu ca     dommage c etait vraiment une belle course

me semble que j ai perdu le disque arriere gauche j ai reussi a continuer 10 tours en ne perdant que 2 s au tour sur Richard pour d un coup j ai du perdre les 2 arrieres et explosion de la voiture dans la ligne des stands , une honte que le mod ne soit pas aboutie a ce niveau la et faut attendre la derniere pour s en rendre compte     

.

HOLY ****
I could've been on the podium!

WD to Richard though, when he caught up with me he was keeping pace with the leaders. Nuff said.

I could have won, but I didn't. I crashed  

I could have won, but didn't bother racing

How many laps left David?

5 laps to go, and Marucco is moving in on the frontwingless Derkir by over 15 seconds a lap in the battle for 3rd!

Marucco takes P3 from Derkir with about 2 laps to go!

1. Coxon
2. Placais(hardly any brakes left)
3. Marucco
4. Derkir
5. Ryon

AND RICHARD COXON(LEYTON HOUSE) WINS THE AUSTRALIAN GP 1991!
