I'm sorry fellas but I will not be able to broadcast the event as I will be 55 Swedish mil away on my sister's wedding, and it's something I really don't want to miss 

I hope that you will be able to sort something out for a live broadcast otherwhise I'll try to sort a race video out later

Good luck and Have fun 

Please pass along my wishes for every good thing to your sister and her betrothed!

As for the Toronto race, I don't know if anything is being planned for a broadcast that hasn't been posted here but, if there are no strong objections and it is OK with Jonaton, I will try to be on-line and record a radio broadcast of the race. Hopefully, this will provide Jonaton some commentary he can merge with a replay and some creative editing. As I am not up to speed on the video feed side of the story, I'm thinking it may be fun to try and go old school and try to paint the picture with words.

I say "try to be on-line" because, while it is a holiday weekend here, the remnants of Hurricane Harvey are mucking up the weather. But if the weather breaks and there is a chance to get to the lake or the golf course . . . well, you have my apologies.

If someone has something planned, I'll help with that. However, if you see me in a TS channel on my own, please feel free to join in.

Hope to be there.

Chance something may crop up, but I will let you know Jason if it does.

Should've overcome some PC issues, will be there.

#19

OK, admittedly I got  late start (I thought the race was next week) but I now find that I am way off pace at this short tight street track.  If we had a 7% rule my best lap wouldn't be fast enough let alone trying to put together 102 safe laps.  So I'm voluntarily giving up my car for this race to someone waiting or wanting a better one-off ride than they now have.

Thanks to Adam Hackman and David Jaques for the setup help.  Both sets improved my comfort and times greatly but whatever oval skills I have are not offering up any chance for success, or even survival, on this track.

Good luck to all who compete.

I guess without Jonatan, we'll be racing "in private" this time around I guess?

I think I'll just try to finish this last race on a March chassis, car feels horrible here, the bumps playing with me, not the other way around

Your last race with the March; rest of the year you'll have a shiny new Lola

I know, that's why I wrote it I hope it will make me a bit more stable on my favourite road courses.

Btw: I didn't even notice Ryan and John had picked two of the free cars. Good thing they aren't empty this race though

Ryan and John have proved to be quick studies; will be interesting to see how they do in their HSO debuts

Iam tooway of times from other with same cars, i dont see any chance for improvementbecause of today bad feeling from morning ut now, if i sit behind wheel, it will be after 20:00 CET , norace setup yet

I wish I hadn't missed Portland since it was a crashfest. This one will also need patience.

game crashed, no reason,

It appears when people come in there is a chance several can be kicked out; this track is shite.  

We will keep a close eye on this situation when we go to race session...

My apologies to Michal    Looped it on the s/f straight right in front of him.  That's what a month off will get you.   Rusty.

Took minor suspension damage just before my first pitstop which made handling less than comfortable. Then, while already considering retirement, I came into the pitlane and found a retired car filling my pit box.

Oh well, at least I didn't practice much.

Apologies for the 1st lap mishap...i think it was my fault... Warning totally justified if it was.

I had a similar issue to Dana. I came in for my 2nd stop and found a disabled car parked in my stall. Kudos to the guys of front. You guys are on rails! I didn't really my race setup was THAT far off pace

That's really a bad job by IDT. They made the track, and they should have known better than to stack garage spaces on top of pit stalls.  Really sorry about that.
