Yeah bit of a scary moment but I managed to get home 3rd

Had a little fight with Gerard for 3rd but once I passed him it was a lonely race to the podium.

See you guys next race

Sorry for missing race 2 but it was really getting late for me.

Sorry Jason, I got a wheel on the grass and those tyres stopped me on the racing line right in front of you.

I lost all sound (again! It happened at Silver last time).

Lap 13, P6.

BUGGER!!!!!

Ah well, great racing everyone! Thanks!!!

No worries in terms of missing the second race, we completely understand that you all had to leave for sleep and work etc.

I'm sorry about the issues at the first race, it would seem a pit-stall bug has been there which we didn't find last time we ran an event at the track, we'll sort that out before any further events takes place at Zandvoort.

I hope you all enjoyed yourselfs still.


Results and Points will be sorted tomorrow, it's a bit too late for me to sit and sort it out now. Will be up before tomorrow evening.

Thanks for the race. I ran out of fuel on the second race. Great racing in both races, I had great time.

Despite the issues I had a good time, these cars are fun to drive, needed more practice time but have been quite busy lately (I am manging two rock bands), that's why I improved my best time in a couple of seconds during the event. The race at Zandvoort was quite clean for me, the only problem was a misunderstanding with a driver lapping me, saw two cars on my mirrors and slowed a bit keeping steady on the right side of the track to let them pass and was hit on the rear, luckily with no damage, it's been the first time I did over 20 laps without a spin!

Don't worry about it Anders.

Great races!!

At Zandvoort I had prepared a good setup but knew the Alpine would be 0.5s faster (tested it myself) so I only hoped to get a clean race and try to stick behind Jundt draft.
Surprisingly I got pole in the very last second:cheers:
At the start Nilsson had a good jump and took the outside line, very smart and clean move. I knew I could overtake him after Scheivlak turn. After that it was just qualifying laps the whole race.

In the second race I couldn't use any setup trick to try to overcome the Alpine advantage(0.5s). The car was struggling in the accelerations.
I tried very hard to follow Jundt but it was impossible for me to stick with him. He had the pace under control, drove without any mistake and had a great victory.

In both races it was very lonely.

Thanks HSO

Thanks Jason for the great broadcast!!

Complicated date To the problems of the server he added some disconnections of his own. And the race lasted until I found Nilsson's car stopped on the straight and I couldn't help it. When I was entering for the second one a power outage ended with my afternoon.

No worries, David. (I know all about those particular barriers. Had a similar incident -except I was the one that got stopped dead in my tracks - in that exact same place once in the past. Memorable, and at the time, quite embarrassing for me)

Was a good fight up unto that point though!

I messed around, forgot 10th was final points paying position. So there I was with a mostly broken car, just trying to stay out of the way and survive to the finish, thinking P12 would at least pay me a point.
(Maybe I need sticky notes, my mind cannot seem to retain such information any longer...lol)

Race 1 though, Race 1 was an absolute blast. And a hell of a workout to boot!
Man, was that ever fun!

Thanks to Jonatan for what must have been grueling work, fixing the issues at the server and all.

And, as always, to the broadcast crew. (I've yet to watch it myself, but plan to do so later tonight before bed)

I still feel bad about it Jason, a stupid mistake by me leading to a horrible crash taking you out .

Some great racing though at both tracks.

Thanks to Jonatan for running the races.

Thanks for the broadcast, I'd forgotten about it but I'll watch it later today.

......and, as if that was not enough, he(Jason) had to endure me for the opening lap of Oulton, getting in his way, and getting a bit to racey for lap 1 ......I was actually, just trying to hold my line, keep the car pointed in the right direction, but I struggled to get car to rotate (added wing for Oulton, so took a while to adjust, when our tangles came to an end as I out braked myself into last corner taking a defensive line (what was I thinkin?) and cutting across Jason on the left, than a clumsy rejoin.....(I thought I's lost so much momentum, you would have been away already - still, I should have checked) So sorry about all that......if you weren't a lap down on me, I would have handed you 11th on a plate

Had lots of fun though, with my "new" setup.....good to flop back into the groove
