Saw your other post Petr. Ben and I can’t unpin the announcements here yet. We are getting things fixed little by little. I can get into the servers now thanks to Ben’s help!

Announcements all fixed now.

Tomorrow I have a brief work meeting that starts right at the end of qualifying. There will be no driver meeting. Warm-up will be 20 minutes and race will start afterwards.

Sorry I have to miss this one,have to work

really sorry, i can't attend this evening race due to an hardware problem, yesterday almost completely disassembled my Fanatec to check it for some strange rumours. I'd planned to rebuild it this afternoon but problem with work didnt gave me the opportunity...
Cu next time guys, ciao.

Weird evening...
Mixed grid, I start 4th, ok, no problem, just some more stress...
Dangerous start in front of me, I pass
1st lap ok
2nd lap I made a mistake, I am last (I was happy nobody was blocked)

Then, incredible stuff...
I must avoid a car stopped in the middle of the track in the straight line (M. Weber I think)
He made a move just when I arrived, only way to avoid him was to jump in the trees
What happened?


But Ok, that's it... it will be better next time...
This Sunday for Indianopolis by instance !

Uggghhh...wrong button! Sorry about that.

Nice win Jan. Once I lost sight of you it was clearly over.

Nice pass by Petr early on but sorry to see you bin it badly later that lap.

I lost it on the hard braking left bridge just before the last long straight and deranged the right rear and had to pit for repairs. Lost 2nd but got it back later from Michael as he either crashed or CTD'd. No way I could catch Jan so I went for a got fast lap hoping he would try to beat it on badly worn tires. No such luck, he kept it between the ditches for the . Grats Jan.

I will happily take on this Mad Max looking scenery track. I was waiting for the Bronze to pull me over.

Grats to all the finishers also. That was a LONG 50 minutes.

Not that incredible....
i tried to overtake you out of last corner, but you pushed me almost against the fence like Max Verstappen, just to block me.
So i did brake and drove behind you. Then you lost the back of your car just two corners later at merely 80Kph directly under the bridge, making a nice stunt and blocking the road.
I tried to avoid you, but sadly i touched a hay bale with very slow speed resulting in losing my right front wheel.

As you may expect, a car with three wheels is not that great to drive, so i tried to get back to the pits. And yes, i needed the whole track for this.

Then a saw you closing in with almost 280Kph from behind and i tried to open up the racing line, but you just went to the right when i did.
Sorry that i blocked you there and it ended your race instantl - but as you could see, if you're closing in that fast on a slow car, it's not the best idea to stay on full throttle.

To all guys, what's goign on in that first two laps???? - it's a long race with 100% damage turned on - but only few starters!!! - so points for everyone, right? But so much messed up, i cannot understand.

Starting position was no problem for me - but sorry Mike, why didn't you just type in the command i wrote in the chat to set up the grid (for only that few drivers)?

None the less, i still had fun. Car felt fine even with damage and track is something different, even if it's not realistic für 1990.

See you in the next one.

Ha yes, sorry for that, it was not on purpose at all, just big oversteer there...
I could have let you pass, true, I was a bit confused.
And as for my position on the grid, well, I was a bit lost with what I should do, so I decided to go

Sorry for my mistake under the bridge too...
And now that I know what happened in the straight, well, it is more clear... I just didn't understand on the spot.
I saw you were slow, I lifted a bit, but I misjudge how slow you were.
When I arrived near you, there was no space left or right... so out of reflex I just got out

I'm happy you could continue the race

And I promise our next encounter will be nicer

The command did not work Matthias

Ah Jean-Francois, don't understand me wrong, i was also very horrified to see you crash heavily out because of me running in the middle of the track.
I hope it's better next time for you - yeah i was lucky that my pit crew put the wheel back on.

It's just for fun, i hope i can fight back next time against all you Sierra guys!

@Mike sorry to hear that, should have worked, but with that grid the qualy-positions shouldnt be a problem

I've a slight issue with the site to export the results.
I asked help to the dev, so for the moment, we have just wait and see.
