OK, la #36 est à toi. Par contre pourrais-tu éditer ton profil en mettant une majuscule à ton nom et prénom. Et pareil dans le jeu.
A ce soir. 

Question: Is the Corolla not on the list because it's massively slower than the other cars?

Yes.

1:47.3

Oh yes, that's about 7 seconds off pace  

And even the Hachi-Roku does it in about 1:45!

I am now 95% certain to be racing tonight.

As usual it's a question of if we eat in time before the race but we should do but I'll probably be joining when Qually is almost over  

I hope to see you all tonight and that we can have some really good battles, been far too long since I raced the TCL cars   

Sorry guys im stuck in Wales will not be home in time im afraid my merc is free

MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Surprised with Quali, didn't think the pace was in my little Skyline but I beat my PB by quite a margin. 8th was good. Great battling with some of you while it lasted. Binned it on Lap 14 while in 10th, and trying to chase down Jean Francois. Just lost concentration, and my back was beginning to hurt quite a lot, so it was probably for the best.

Shucks...my first dnf at HSO.....

Just wne that much too wide going onto the straight and WHAMMO!!! contacted the tire barrier on the left...

Carl-I'lll cover all damages to the Mercedes  


Frank-thanks for hosting... 

What a great race, Settled into a nice rhythm and played the long game with my tires, was catching Yves (Guess your tires were fading) caught him and had a nice battle till he pitted, I was more than happy to settle for third but i noticed Ricard was slowing, So i put the hammer down and tried to catch him, Thought i was going to catch him but there wasnt enough laps remaining. Only mistake i made was on the last lap when i spun off at the Last Left hander of the lap.

Thanks Frank for hosting, Cannot wait for the next TCL race, Guessing it may be Bathurst  So Carl best not get stuck in wales for that one!  

Well done to the other podium finshers and to everyone who did finish, was a tough race

Thanks again  

Great Race!  

Qualifying went pretty well, Balazs made a fantastic time, and although I was faster in the first sectors in various laps, I couldn't finish them.  

I got a good start and overtook Balazs, but Yves went like a rocket and he was the leader in the first moments, I got him in the hairpin, and so did Balazs. We both opened a gap and started a hard fight for the lead. I lost the first place agaist him in the first sector some laps later, and meanwhile, my tyres got hotter and hotter each lap, and it was hard to keep up the pace. I managed to get closer in some laps, but he opened a gap every time I made the smallest mistake. In one of those laps, I was quite close to him in the back straight, but I lost my braking point and I couldn't avoid hitting him in the side. I let him pass, and the race was over, my tyres were cooked, and I was exhausted, I made some mistakes, losing too much time, so I decided to quit the fight and slow down to bring the car home. I was too slow and I lost focus, spinning one time. But the worst was to come, in the fight with balazs, I had burned too much fuel, and I hadn't enough to finish the race, I slowed completely, losing many seconds every lap, Richard closed the gap very fast, but I managed to cross the finish line in second place with 1 liter of fuel.  

Congratulations to Balazs and Richard for their podiums   , and see you soon!  

Enjoyed the race, thanks for hosting HSO.

My back has been killing me all day today so I was expecting to lose concentration and plow into a wall. Did not happen but my tires were a little hot at the end and Ben Paulet caught me. Had he chosen to pass one turn later I was going to be toast.

Have a good week all.

Thanks for putting the race on, had a great time in my first race at HSO

I was happy to qualify the Holden in 10th place, got baulked abit at the start but just tried to stay clean and mistake free which i managed to do and wound up in 7th which i was very happy with.

Look forward to racing you all again soon

Thanks for this event's organization. Im felt very comfortable my sierra. On Q i made a 36.8 lap, it was quite good, but not a perfect lap. Im lost half a second in the last sector  Nevermind P1. I knew my start will really bad as usual.
Ricard overtook Yves, Im just went behind Ricard as a shadow. After that we had a nice battle over 17 laps. I sad to my mates on TS, I can't increase the gap than 2 seconds, and then Ricard hit me. No problem. After this point I felt, Ricard lost his concentration becasue I could increase the gap, easily.
Hard tyres worked well on whole race. For my suprise Ricard did a 37.5 lap, after that i made a 36.9, almost pole lap  

 again  , and congrats for podiums  

Complètement largué en performance, 18ème temps en qualif et 19ème meilleur tour en course, c'est assez consternant... D'autant que j'avais l'impression d'attaquer... (elle n'avance pas cette Merco, faut bien me trouver des excuses... ).

Peu importe vous me direz, l'important c'est de s'amuser, et je me suis amusé avec Stephen, Johnatan et surtour Gérard que j'ai poursuivi toute la course sans parvenir à le rattraper... Tout cela m'a obligé à rester concentré et à ne pas faire de faute (j'en ai fait une quand-même, mais sans gravité...).

Mais la meilleure nouvelle pour moi hier soir, c'est que je n'ai pas eu de retour-bureau comme pour les trois ou quatre dernières courses... Je ne suis pas sûr d'avoir compris les raisons certaines du bon fonctionnement de mon PC retrouvé (j'ai seulement viré un programme suspect de mon disque-dur et descendu la définition d'affichage de 32bit en 16bit...).
Je ferai des tests sur les mod F1-91 et HGT pour voir si çà tient là aussi?

Bravo à Balazs et podium et merci à tous  

Merci Philou pour ton bump qui m'a permis de me lancer au départ. Je crois bien que j'ai confondu la pédale de frein et celle d'embrayage au départ, et ton aide m'a permis de rattraper mon retard.  
Sinon pas mal de tours effectués avec l'ami Gérard, a se passer et se repasser.
D'ailleurs tu n'as pas du comprendre pourquoi je t'avais laissé passer. Mais j'avais un peu coupé la première chicane, et j'avais du coup trop gagné de temps sur toi.  
Désolé pour la maxi et la mini touchette en bout de ligne droite. J'espère d'ailleurs que ce n'est pas dû au bump, car tu étais plus lent sur les tours suivants.
Je finis 13, tout proche de Mike que j'aurai peut-être pu doubler si je n'avais pas eu à laisser passer yves et Frank dans les derniers tours.
Merci à tous pour la course et à la prochaine. 

Sorry I had not updated the site's database so the results I posted yesterday after the race were a bit messy. The full export and replay are now available on the site

Pas de soucis Ben,belle bagarre,mais j'avais bien compris,je me suis dit,woaw!!!quel fair play .D'ailleur j'étais bien trop propre avec cette chicane,par rapport a certain. Dans la matinée,j'avais fait une randonnée vtt de 50km,alors la fatigue c'est ressenti durant la course,mais j'ai terminer c'est le principal.
Bravo au podium et a tous les participants et a l'organisation

Don't forget the pictures of the cars, otherwise it's always a bit messy.

mes excuses aux organisateurs, j'ai confondu avec l'autre course à Adelaide, celle du 18.
