Mine is still on the box after buying the G25. Really strong wheel, never let me down

I gave mine away, after I bought a red momo. I've still got that one, because I bought a G25. Anyone need a red momo?

Déjà fini après 1 tour , à la sortie de la chicane là où je ne suis jamais sortit . Pneus froids, du monde derrière donc pression, une faute de débutant. j'aurais dù laisser filer tout le monde et faire 3 tours à l'aise. Quel c..., je m'en veux et suis dégouté car c'est un des circuits où je pouvais être bien classé. Je peux bien m'appliquer et m'entraîner pendant la pause estivale si je veux faire une bonne seconde moitié de champ, grr....

The same shit all over again... no fps... the same drivers doing the same shitty starts like this was a 5-lapper... I really have a problem with the spirit in this series. I'll keep coming tho, as I'll have a new pc for the reprise in September, but than I might start behaving like an asshole too and will certainly close some doors on some guys with great pleasure.

Mon écran freeze après 18 tours : domage j'étais huitième en bagarre avec carl, on avait la meme vitesse et tout se jouait à l'aspi c'etait plutot fun probablement la course où je m'amusais le plus depuis le debut de la saison et mon pc me lache pour la première fois.... ca ira mieux la prochaine fois



Big freeze on lap 18 : so bad, i had a good fight with carl and it was clearly my funniest race of the season... Fucking PC

3 petits tours et une petite glissade de rien à la chicane que je pense maitriser facilement et PAF dans le mur Une roue en moins. Arf
Dernier aux essais à 2 secondes de l'avant dernier pour ma première sur RFactor ! Je pensais être à la rue et puis finalement lors de mon abandon il y avait finalement pas mal de monde derrière, suite au carton du 1er tour et en doublant 3 ou 4 pilotes.
Pas duré longtemps mais me suis bien amusé
Je reviendrais s'il y a des places dispos et si mon calendrier me le permet.
A+

Et bien voila, c'était trop beau pour que cela dure!!!

Bien placer a mes yeux au qualifs, donc bonne course ce préparent, au bout de quarante tours je suis treizième, tout va bien, mais ce que je redouter avant tout c'était le plantage graphique et sa c'est passé, tout c'est figer a l'écran, et quand c'est revenue je me suis bien sur retrouver dans la mur avec tout le décors et la voiture en vrac, je ne voyer plus rien ressemblent au jeu!!!

Sa me le fait constamment sur Rfactor, mais aléatoirement en temps de durée!
Pourtant pilotes graphique a jour, je comprend pas!

Voila fini encore pour celle la!

I finish the race! LOL
Nice battle with Mark F.
but i have set too high wings....I suffered too many oversteps
Good anyway!

That was one of my best races ever
i had some great duels 1st with Vincent ,then with Steve
and lastly with Frank ........End result 8th Place ....

No points for Ligier again but who says you have to score points
to enjoy the racing that was awesome ........

I would like to thank all the backmarkers as i know how hard
sometimes it is to get out the way when cars are fast approaching
but most of all id like to Thank my fellow Gentlemen racers
Vincent ,Steve and Frank for the great fight cheers Guys

Congrats to Gui for the Win

Départ 28eme et remontée super amusante avec des bagarres dantesques avec en particulier Thomas et Carl ...comme le dit Carl pas besoin de marquer des points pour s'amuser, et aujourd'hui c'etait vraiment le cas !
5 derniers tours aux fesses de JP qui a très bien resisté le bougre ...j'attaquais fort mais j'avais la crainte de le toucher ...pour le gain d'1 point ça ne valait vraiment pas le coup
j'ai aussi reussi mon depassement de l'année en faisant à Carl ce qu'Hakkinen avait reussit sur Schumi à Spa (avec un attardé au milieu) ...
Bravo a Gui et a Gregoire pour son premier podium ...il promet le petit !!
enfin une note un peu negative avec Pierre qui se fait "pousser" dans le rail au premier virage ...Frank aussi à l'air assez colère contre quelques pilotes ...quand on sait que les courses sont si longues je ne comprend toujours pas ces comportements ...faudrait peut etre instaurer une licence à points ...
Bonnes vacances à tous

heureux , pour ma 3 eme course en F 1 79 et la 1 ere que je termine je fais une belle 2eme place , belle bagarre toute la course a distance ( 1 a 2 secondes avec carlo et Tiago ) felicitations a toi guillaume pour ta victoire , vraiment decu pour mon oncle Pierre qui est pour moi le plus fort de nous tous et qui rencontre pas mal de malchance ces derniers temps .... belle remonte a toi franck ( mon 2eme oncle )

You deserved the 7th place for that move
I Dont know who was more shocked me or the poor guy who got swallowed up in the middle

After looking at the results and the replay, it has become clear that the server forgot to count one lap to Kimmo Kononen. He finished in fact 5th in front of Steve.

Après avoir regardé les résultats et le replay, il apparait que le server a oublié de compter un tour à Kimmo Kononen. Il fini en fait 5ème devant Steve Parker.

Final top 6 :

1 - Guillaume Siebert
2 - Grégoire Goissen
3 - Tiago Malafaya
4 - Carlo Pozzi
5 - Kimmo Kononen
6 - Steve Parker

j en ai vraiment marre des comportements dangereux,surtout sur un circuit ou on a toute la course pour dépasser en sécurité,c'est dommage de prendre autant de risques au départ et de changer de ligne alors que l on est en peloton,automatiquement ca fait des dégâts,faites un peu attention.
bravo guillaume et Grégoire j aurais aimé pouvoir batailler avec vous

Oui puis c'est toujours les mêmes... Moi c'est fini, j'ai spinné pour les éviter, la prochaine fois je rentre dans le tas.

The poor Guy was Marcus ... ...We always have great and very fair fight with you Carl ...

Frank,
c'était moi l'attardé, tu as de la chance que j'avais des bons rétros......!
J'en vois un qui me passe par la droite, l'autre qui arrive par la gauche(Frank?),
Markus reste sur ta ligne, ne bouge surtout me crie de la haut le seigneur !
Et je me suis dit cela doit être le dépassement de l'année.....!
Sinon,pour moi,belle course de fond de peloton,avec une belle et longue bagarre avec Desposito,
Il n'a pris aucun risque pour me passer,et pourtant, il pouvait le faire à chaque tour avant la chicane,
je freinais assez tôt, et il était légérement plus rapide.
Voiture très stable,j'avais mis un peu d'aileron,et j'étais en confiance et pas fatigué comme les autres fois.
C'est vrai qu'avec Desposito, le temps est passé assez vite.
13 ième, pas de points....!
mais satisfait

Vivement la rentrée

Marcus

Pas grand chose à dire sur ma course, je passe Pierre et Steve au départ, puis je me creuse vite une avance sur le reste du peloton, 10 secondes en 10 tours, j'ai meme checké mon HUD pour vérifier si j'avais mis les pneus qualifs
Après les autres pilotes se sont réveillés et ont adopté un rythme similaire au miens, je n'ai donc fait que gérer l'écart pendant toute la course, Grégoire et Tiago étaient un poil plus rapides que moi je pense, mais trop loin derrière.

Une bonne victoire pour le championnat donc même si pas très disputée. Bravo aux finisseurs et merci au lappés, aucun soucis
Not much to say about my race, I jumped Pierre and Steve at the start, then quickly opened a gap on the rest of the pack, 10 seconds in 10 laps, I even checked on the HUD if i wasn't on quali tires
Then the other drivers woke up and were lapping in the same times than me, all I had to do was controling the gap and not doing any mistakes. I think Grégoire and Tiago were a bit faster than me tonight, but too far behind.

A good win for the championship even if that wasn't a thrilling race. Grats all finishers and thanks to the lapped cars, no problem at all with them tonight.

BTW, I just had a look at the replay of the start, and would like to know : Tiago why the heck did you turn right after T1 while Pierre was along side you ? I'm sure you did not do it on purpose, but come on, he was along side you in T1, you could not see him in the mirrors, so where do you think he could have been ? And just by turning your head to the right you could see his car was right here ... Come on mate you can do better than that, that was an accident really easy to avoid

That was a fun race. Imagine I was thinking about skipping this because I don't like Silverstone. Until lap 11 or so, it was a lot of fun. We were 4 cars, very tight, Steve, Tiago, Carlo and I, coming to lap Marc Florkin, he kept to the left very nicely, but unfortunately for me, I didn't have any downforce left to be able to turn in so I went a little off road. Lost 1 spot to Gregoire... Soon after that I noticed I was all of a sudden 1 lap behind everyone, apparently the server missed lap 11 for me because I went a little wide, and a fair bit up towards the sky, but managed to get back on to the track unharmed. I was a fair bit upset, but I hoped the admins would sort it out afterwards. So after that I went for it, I drove all I could. Was interesting with a few backmarkers a couple of times, they couldn't possibly know I was about to lap them, because the timing was showing I was battling with them for position. But all went well, there was never any contact or so. Man I love racing with you guys, can get so close but still everyone gives room, gives up the corner when they know they have lost it etc. I try to return the favor by not fighting at all with people who are obviously quicker than me, but behind me for one reason or the other. Especially in the beginning of a race.

Anyway, a bunch of laps later I overtook Steve, he had spun (I heard afterwards he had a little help) in the chicane so I knew I should be 5th, depending on where he was, but by my count, unless someone had exited the server, there was 4 in front of me. I knew Steve was quicker than me all the way, but I didn't see him after that. Damage to the car, no doubt. Nor did I see anyone else so it got a bit lonely after that. But I tried to keep my head down and try not to think about boobs or beer. Like I sometimes do when I lose concentration...

So I was able to do a 1.16.924 in the end, so I am happy with that too, I really thought I would be a lot slower. Even better, 3 points for Renault, woo-hoo!

Bring on Hockenheim... We will be going for more points there...

Anyway, thanks Gui for sorting it out. I would really have kicked myself, the wheel, my neighbours cat, the computer and whoever made Silverstone,all the way to the moon if I had done all that work for nothing

Congratulations for the win, and the rest of the podium. Props to the guys in the painfully slow cars, but they hung in there until the end. Hats off for you for that.

What happened to last seasons Masters championship by the way, where the people in the shit cars can still fight for that championship? Bring it back please...

Kimmo, your lap didn't count because you missed the 2nd sector.

I'm sorry Pierre but I don't really think you're being fair to me, since you were slow in T1 and I tried to make a move in the left side. I tried to stay there and we just touched wheels because...... well because that's racing. Those things can happen. I made my move without trying to take any chances. I knew I was in front after T1 but I still kept as elft as I could. The only thing I can think of is that you didn't know I was there, I accpet that perfectly, I just don't accept that you say that it was a dangerous move.

But anyways, I'm sorry for that

PS: Gui, the car went a bit to the right because it slid a bit when going to the Kerb. I knew Pierre was there, but never thought he was going to the far left of the track. Again sorry for that

Banging wheels in DTM or USAC, and in F1 isn't exactly the same. Also doing it in the first lap of a 68-lap race isn't really clever. The mentality of some drivers here is unacceptable, and one day, it'll backfire not only on them, but also on the league.

Gui, you should open your eyes, take off your rose tinted glasses and have a look on what's happening in the field. Of course when you're far away up front, nothing happens it's all good.

I could tell even before the start you were too hot Tiago, you spent your formation lap racing me and absolutely wanting to stay in front of me whereas you were behind me on the grid... I really don't know what has got into you tonight, but if we all had behaved as you did there would have been 15 retirement on lap 1. Your move on Pierre is acceptable if you pull it through safely. You did not and that makes it a scandalously outrageous move in my book. I mean swerving on the right and taking out the pole sitter... in a straight line in the first lap of a full GP . How I miss the GPL spirit...

ok tiago but i never go to the far left of the track ,i gave you enough room on the left side and stayed in the middle ,then you turned right ,another bad luck for me.
i was aiming to win this race and i m very sad for the third time in three races,thinking to give up simracing witch brings me too much frustrations.
i don't bear grudges because i'm sure you are a good guy and i put it on your hot latin behaviour.
so no problem mate
