Can't avoid the crash with a alfa who spin in front of me , race is over ....

c'est pas grave Vincent, c'est moi qui suis pas dedans en ce moment   

et du coup tu t'es sorti aussi ?   

So So So Sorry Yannick et Ben,
Yannick j'ai essayé d'éviter, mais je m'ennuie freiné un tant soit peu et me faisait courir en vous et Ben, Désolé pour le robinet à l'arrière, n'était pas intentionnel du tout. Encore une fois les gars im vraiment désolé.

Pretty crap race for me, After my 3rd major error i pretty much gave up and settled for 3rd in class, Thanks again for letting me swap Ben,

Thanks for hosting and organising. See you all at the next one

no problem Richard

Google translation is so funny.

Thank you for interesting race! Got a whole bucket of adrenaline!  
Wild excitement as usually forced to do stupid mistake and took away precious seconds needed to deal with opponents!  
It is unfortunate that the championship is coming to an end, I don't want to part with my wonderful car.  
So I will try the last race and to spend the best way possible!

Into english for us then please   

Thanks to you, I learned that tap means robinet. Translated back, it'd be something like sorry for the faucet at the back  

I was surprised by the Mick's braking. I put a wheel in the grass, and spun. Samy, being very close to me, can't avoid me. Sorry Samy   . And an other car can't avoid either, but turn me in the right way. Sorry for him but thx, I could continue my way.
I didn't see who was the driver. Sorry mate. 

Results are up.

Thx guys for coming.  

I So wanted the win   

After the race win here earlier in the season when i only got half points i was desperate to see if i could do it again Qualifying went well and with the late entry of Sergio i thought i had a shot at pole but then Samy produced a miracle lap time in the little mini ...

Was happy to start 2nd in class but had a nightmare start  i think someone had put some duff fuel in my petrol tank as the engine would just not fire up  .I Was really lucky not to get hit from behind by the other cars ...   
When i eventually got the car started and moving i think i was 2nd from last the next few laps where crazy with cars falling of the track all over the place i managed to overtake an Abarth and a mini in one move   

I Could see Sergio and Samy in the distance i followed them for awhile  but then all hell broke loose and Samy was out not sure what happened but i managed to get by Sergio also in all the confusion ...

I Was also more than surprised to be leading my class for several laps especially after the disastrous start .. I Think i managed to lead for 5 or 6 laps before Sergio started to catch me and i buckled under the pressure and went wide ... I Lost about 5 seconds and from that moment until the flag are times where very close its a shame i went off as i think we could have had a great fight to the flag ...  
Sergio is a gentlemen and he deserved the win   

I Love this track with the Abarth and will miss it when the season finishes ..

Congrats to Tiago , Greg and Sergio  
Well Done all finishers  

THX For Organizing Hso

Apologies are due from me for starting this incident....I cant remember what happened as it was eclipsed by a race long battle with Alberto.
Somehow I had disabled my virtual mirrors, and didnt have a key mapped to change drver camera...Got over steer forcing me to cut track, and as I was a bit preoccupied with regaining control, I wasnted to stay as far right as possible to not hinder cars behinds.....bad move as Ben was shadowing me...

Very sorry Ben and Sammy.

Indeed, I watched for the replay and you're right, you helped me to spin.   
It doesn't matter, Richard. I will help you the next time.  

No problem Mick, you're not guilty. The braking point are differents and surprising sometimes.   

As always thank HSO for this Championship, the beginning was really crazy, the first 2 laps were a lot of movement, too bad for Carl at the start (He was squeezing the seat belt   ), then Samy was lucky to wear the seat belt if there were we lost teeth in the collision   , which I take Carl to get 1st, had a couple of very funny turns with Simon, Carl and Christopher, then Carl got a very strong pace and cost me follow him to the top, I got pick up pace and approach, then on lap 8 he committed a small mistake and I could overtake him from there with 5 seconds ahead I could go quiet until the checkered flag.

Unlucky Carl the failure would have been a magnificent fight   

Congratulate Tiago and Greg for his victories.

Salut.

Only 20 days until we do it all again  

I loved the '65 Brands track! I made a decent start from the back, avoided the early shunts people were having, and enjoyed some good laps racing with Vadim in the Fiat, settled down into a reasonable pace (for me!) and was comfortably in the Class B places.... and then messed up. Going into Stirlings, I let up too soon and the car spun, then on recovering I drove it into the inside tyre wall, and blew up the engine trying to get back out - what an idiot!   Just a couple of laps off getting place points too. Ah well, that's racing.... both cars and drivers fail sometimes.
Great fun anyway, and can I say once again, I love the way this league operates and the mods / tracks, wish I had available time to do more events. Thanks all.

That was some serious good fun. Thanks for hosting guys.

I was surprised to be 3rd in qualy - thats my beat position ever!!!! Tgen Carl messed his start and I was in 2nd until I collected a Cortina heading onto the back straight. That messed my cars top speed too so it was just a case of holding it together for the remainder.

Had some exciting racing with iirc Wattman(sp??) until he seemed to fade with I assume engine problems.

Happy to finish up near the top.

Cya all next time.

Sounds like you enjoyed Chris    always nice to get a happy new member, glad I posted in that picture now.

Yeah I enjoyed it, and thanks for that post Richard. Finding active leagues in my time zone is sometimes difficult.
