Ended my day early due to JP Campmajo's rather cheap overtaking manoeuvre on the first lap. Why flash your headlights toward me? I thought you were driving in TC1, but it turned out to be the same class as me, TC2. Made me angry, and I was unable to concentrate and I drove off the circuit. Thanks.

Well, as usual, you were on fire at the start, more or less pushing me on turn 2. Then I'm on your inside in turn 3, and you turn in as if I'm not here : I'm used to that kind of tactics with some of the dirty drivers I raced in here, but still. Totally the opposite of the epic race with Antoine, where we could actually race, and give each other room.

Then I overtook you and you crashed yourself. Don't blame others if you can't drive (36% of finishes, what a stat ).

the best I could do against the Escort

My autoflip/reset car function doesn't work..

No, it's been disabled, I hard to learn the hard way at Salzburgring in DRM too


Anyway, I think this is a stolen 3rd place b the disconnections and engine failures.

Took it a bit easier, only made two mistakes and gained 3rd after winning against Vincent, Oscar and Joe

Sad about the many flippers

Results are on the website.

I really enjoyed that race, even with the buggy track. The sector fix made the shortcut possible, at a price. Would love to race there again, so long as the track is fixed, and I'm not going from 1st to 25th through all the other positions in a matter of seconds...

From the start, I was dropped by the lead 8 cars within the first two laps. This didn't bother me as I wanted a clear track for the race! Me and Oscar were racing for about 4 laps straight, keeping it respectful and clean, as per the Nordschleife! I then lost it on Adenauer Forst, losing about 3 seconds, letting David Jundt close in on me. With a major speed difference on the straights (I had overfueled and made the gears longer so I wasn't gambling the race), David passed me and later spun at Hatzenbach. I couldn't hold him off for long on bad tires and he took me again.

After some confusion at a chequered flag for the whole last lap I was pretty pleased to finish in 4th, out of a 35 car field!! I still can't believe it! Almost had podium too

I had some great battles, both drivers I was fighting with were very respectful, which I can't ask any more of for the Nord. Loved it. I could have done another 5 laps! Congrats to all the finishers!

A bit of an unnecessary cheap shot??? Keep it to pm's if you two girls are going to have a natter.

Anyway. Fantastic race for me all in all. Just the one spin and I kept the HMS Titanic more or less running straight and true.

Great fun and great racing with Jon, David and others


See you all next time out.

Oscar.

The track had his bugs before that.
And if we had to do the whole warm up lap during quali, people complain.
We have the short cut, and the timing is as f*cked as before, people complain.
Geez, I'm tired of that sh!t.

If you guys aren't happy with this, skip the race, or take the time to learn how to do that stuff, and DO SOMETHING.
If instead of complaining you had some training during that time, it would be a lot harder for some to win the races

Oscar ? STFU please

Sorry Frank about the dirty overtake, didnt mean to hit you

that was not a very smart move! against me, and also against players behind us!

Very dangerous!

apologize accepted, that's racing!

Encore une soirée a oublier pour moi Quasi zero training, j'arrive pas trop en avance, "erreur geometry"

Je sors, met le fix, sa roule, après quelques virages, je m'aperçois que ma pédale n’accélère pas a fond

Je sors, démontage à toute vitesse du pédalier, coup de nettoyant contact, je reviens et j'ai le temps de faire un tour!

Au départ, super laggy malgré des concurrents avec un ping inferieur a 80

Je suis super prudent, quand Temu me fait un dépassement improbable

Je me retrouve presque à l’arrêt dans un endroit rapide et sans visibilité, j'ai serré les fesses, mais tout le monde derrière passe sans problème

Du coup je perds définitivement le contact avec ceux de ma catégorie (moi qui comptait espionner leurs repères de freinage, c'est raté )

Une bonne arsouille sur les premiers tours avec Joel, je lui met la pression dans le sinueux , mais la capri s'envole dans les bouts droits, finalement il m'abandonne en allant embrasser un des panneaux qui borde le circuit.

Ensuite tout seul jusqu’à la fin, pas de timing, je surveille mes températures histoire d'arriver au bout...

Bravo devant, merci HSO!

In terms of training anyone is welcome to a muscle car for any race minus Hockenheim to drive. Nords is a tough track on the driver and the car.

Also no. I was merely suggesting that acting like a 7 year old publicly wasn't a great image.

merci beaucoup

My race ended on lap one not long after the carousel

Also, sorry Frank if it was my fault when we hit eachother after I went off a bit earlier on the lap, don't know it I left enough room or not

Ludovic had flipped and was upside down, I tried to avoid him slightly, went to wide and the banking flipped me over

Was about to have a good battle with Frank but oh well, on to the next one



That shows what happened, could only get one angle as rFactor crashed and I didn't want to give you an inside shot as well as it takes some effort which I would have put down if I would have been happier and more awake

Indeed nice pictures.

I still wonder how Erik's FL is exactly 8s faster than mine, but that's typical Erik. Winning races on time, then exiting the next with a BANG

Je ne vais pas revenir sur les bugs, je pense que tout le monde a eu sa dose ce soir
Sinon le mod est génial, la grille etait variée et bien garnie (35 voitures) et le Ring est un circuit fabuleux, ce championnat est donc prometteur

Ma course fut difficile car apres avoir pris un bon départ de la 21eme place, je vais heurter un talus et abimer mon radiateur juste apres le petit pont
Par chance personne ne me percute et mon Escort roule encore
Je passe ensuite mon temps à surveiller les temperatures et je passerai plus de 4min au stand pour réparation
J'ai une belle arsouille avec Cyril dans le 2eme tour je crois puis le calme de la fôret

Je termine tout de même à la 12eme place à 1 tour de Philippe

Merci aux organisateurs car la soirée n'etait pas des plus faciles à gerer

A la prochaine

Super soirée pour ma part.

Qualif: je fait la pôle dans mon dernier tour.

Pour la course, comme d'habitude je foire mon départ et Erik et Peter me passe devant.
Ensuite les trois premier tours sont intense.
Peter et Erik sont trés rapides et j'ai vraiment du mal a les suivre, jusqu'a ce que je trouve une faille dans le début du quatrième tour.
Ensuite, j'ai assuré ma course jusqu'a l'arrivée.

Merci a Peter et Erik pour cette belle arsouille et bravo a tous les finisseurs.

One of the dullest race I ever had Never saw anybody after the first 3 turns. Was glad Philippe lapped me, it saved me the burden of having to do 7 laps . This mod definitely sucks, a complete joke from A to Z. I wish we had had the courage not to switch to 1.95 and stick to the original mod. Having a lotta new cars clouded our judgement I guess . Same for the track, it's the only correct 1970s Nordschleife we have so we selected it over a VLN version for instance, but I think it's safe to say we will never use it again if no one fixes the zillion bugs it has...

Sorry Jonatan I spun you out early on. As they were people right behind me I didn't stop and wait, to avoid getting in the way of somebody. However I knew you were probably faster than me so I was going to wave you through once you had caught up. Too bad you rolled before that. Sorry again.

Grats Philippe and all survivors !

No worries Frank, I've had worse happen to me.

I could continue damage free and fairly close to you so for me it was allright and I thought that you would let me by on the backstraight or there about

Bad qualify for me...i've done only one lap and this was too slow for the contact with Jp that made me go out losing too much time ending in 22 position.

Good start where i catched many position...nice battles with Larrad,Jones and Placais...i finished 8th.

but i'm really sorry for the accident Yves..my fault ...after this i waited for giving back your position but i saw that your car was destruct...unfortunately in that corner i always braked a little bit later...i braked in time but my car started to slip hitting you...please accept my apologizes.

Thanks to all

I have to say too that signal is too hard...a car heavy likes the camaro doesn't destruct with a simple signal...isn't a wall but a signal damnation....if that signal was normal like the others your race would not end!!!

Yes titanium corner markers are another feature of this junk version of the track

Ici, les poteaux sont plus dur que les arbres!

Dommage car la balade avec Ben, puis Franck M promettait, désolé de t'avoir laissé en solitaire pour la suite...

je ne m'attendais pas à mieux, non du fait que malgré tout je n'ai pas eu le temps encore une fois de me familiariser avec la capri, avec laquelle d'ailleurs je commence à avoir un grand plaisir à conduire, bon ressenti en ffb etc, mais il me manquait la forme hier soir et sur le nurb, déconcentration interdite.

je me suis malgré tout bien amusé et prend un grand plaisir à conduire avec vous tous.
merci à l'organisation

The new classes system is weird and some cars have changed their handling for worse, that's for sure. I must say however that ripping whatever new cars that do work well from the 1.95 mod and adding them as a patch to the previous version shouldn't be difficult at all. More food for thought for the admins

Alberto, we have some works for you.

Yes i saw this like in Cadwell park...but it's no good...is not a good simulation a car like the Camaro totally destruct for a corner's mark!!!
