Great Night

How did you go????

Race 1
Sorry about the re-start but Benny and I had forgotten to load a set up after re-starting the server, and we were on enduro tyres (not fun).
Had SPAZ up my bum for most of the race and I only just finished in front... 1 more lap, he would have had me Finished 3rd

Race 2
Carbon copy of race 1 for me, with SPAZ closing fast in the last few laps of the race....... finished 3rd again

Race 3
Great, clean hard racing.... bloody awesome.....
Had a whoopsie in pit lane.... my pit box was close to the pit entry, by the time i stopped i had gone past it! I reversed up (hoping I didn't get a penalty, which I didn't)
Tried my hardest to catch SPAZ in the for second but he was too good (and he will probably drive for FORD next year )
Finished 3rd............ again!

Great racing guys.... and congrats Brudda Kris on the clean sweep.......

lol at

goood nights racing i think every one had a battle or two,
wobbly was driving mint and held me off all race one untill the last lap, i saw a gap a got him,
race 2, braked early for T1, then done a mean as line cross over in t1 t2 to pick wobbly off lol, and then had to keep my cool for the race not to open up any gaps for him, keep good linesso not to use my tyres under his presure

race 3 revers grid, got a good start saw spazz leave his braking till the last second, sideways between nick and dano into T1 and pullled it off lol,
I was having a real battle getting past nick touched when i tryed to get him on the inside and i got a bit loose, wobbly got past me,
next lap got on the inside of nick again same corner but this time as we touched he spun, i yelled sorry to him as he only sitting at the other end of the room,
i didnt re address as 1/2 was his fault for not checking his mirror both laps to see me there on the inside befor he tuned in, lol
caught up to wobbly and dano, clasic move when woobly moved over to do a line on dano and left me a slot up the inside behind dano
he tryed to get me again but we touched and he spun off, looking at the reply i didnt see you on my left driving from incar view ,but also looked like you had a good line viewing from inside your car , was just one of those things
got dano after slip streeming him down the home streight,
got spazfor 1st, I gained time since I was on better tyres piting A lap earlyer than him
yea ha top night for me
nick as told me every 3rd race we have hit and one of us or both has spun lol,

Well no one told me there would be a password. I didn't bother to look at the forum until this morning.

I was pretty annoyed at that but meh.

Didn't race but had a fairly good time in qual. PB even.

dev

We switched to password only because of a few coming in that didn't run so fairly last week. The password on the servers are always the same dev have never changed

Hey guys I had to head out somewhere on short notice so couldn't race! Track was looking good for me thought I had a real good chance for at least one win

Well done to Kris Hat Trick of wins?

See ya all for the final round!

well done to Kris on a clean sweep.....u bugger

great quali, got out and did a 31.7 early on and waited for kris to better his 31.750, which he didnt got pole, very happy with that.

race 1 led nearly from flag to flag until pressure and tyres got the better of me and kris stuffed me on last lap and took out the win, great driving mate it was bumper to bumper all the way.

race 2 i thought id do the reverse of race one and let him have the pressure, all over each other flag to flag with kiwi in close company waiting to pick up the pieces, i couldnt get kris in the end but it was damn close....3 tenths at line i think.

race 3 got a shocker struggled to pass a few guys as the pace throughout the grid was very close, ended up having an incident between dano and kris and myself where i ended up in the kitty litter......not sure what happened but may of been a case of to many cars in one place at one time, dont think it was anyones fault just a racing indecent, just glad it didnt stuff up anyones championship.


ended up being dead last but caught the field Very slowly, did pitstop but lazy ozzy crew were at the pub, so no fuel FFS, not sure if my presets are wrong will check b4 next one,

All in all great fun as usual, im really getting into these v8s and i see according to SLS ive a chance of getting third off mini in the champ due to his absence this weekend.....that could make for an interesting last round and a NZ clean sweep in the podium positions

Sweating in 2nd place as well, If I have a shocker and M1N1K0B3 has his usual good run you may be fighting me for 3rd in the championship.
Well done getting that far up the ladder in the rounds you have done...

my rfactor didnt save race one replay

Have sent it to you.... it says R2 because of re-start... let me know if it isn't the right one

Truth is guys have to admit I've been really sick since Thursday night and still not getting better If I did race probably would have trashed the car without completing a lap like Glock in Suzuka 09 (He was pretty sick and not fit to race and crashed the car in qualy and was then injured)

I did have to head out somewhere on short notice but even if I didn't I probably wouldn't have raced.

But Watkins Glen been looking forward to this to finish off the series!

cheers for the comments kiwi, yea im really happy with the results ive got so far very unexpected to have gelled with the cars so well. i think with ur consistancy u have enuf of a gap to be safe mate....and anyway with ur powers u no doubt already know the result

sorry to here ur ill mini......hope u get better soon mate, see u all at the last round

cheers wobb

hope you get well soon brother mini
cheers for the reply kiwi
and wobbly you have gelled with that car alright, good to have you as a fellow Competitor

Watkins glen NASCAR track in nz cars was fantastic racing all night, these cars on the long track are going to really fun. I picked the long version as it is a little more challenging and a little hard to dial in a setup

I'm not a position for a championship result but I'm hungry for a win so
Will putting in some practice this week to get the car on the pace
