So hows it going? Browsing through german accented forums I think I understood first race was the 28th of december. 1-2 for speedsims? the 28th was the 3rd and final test race.. Our first race is on the 11th of January this Sunday. The 3rd test race made it thru 3 10 minutes rounds of qualifying.. Started 6th I think.. Well on the first lap some guy bounced into me rather hard and caused me to go flying into the out of bounds area. and when they went to restart the race, I wound up starting dead last. (my own fault I hit the escape button, to bring me back to the pitts) Raced back up to 7 th position. By lap 15 I got disco'd. So my race went from bad to worse! Glad that was just a test race. LOL Karl did great he got to finish the race!  |

Well....
had 2 clean laps in qualifying, with making mistakes in both. Got me 2nd last place on the grid (19th). Dave was suffering from power outage and only made it back into LTCC server when half of qualifiying time was over already. He got 16th I guess
First laps in the race were pretty good. Dave soon climbed up to 10th, with 9th ready for fight. Me advanced to 14th after some nice fighting until we both started making mistakes.
After 30min I once accidently shifted down to 1st instead of 2nd, which made up for an irreversibly engine failure and loss of about 100hp. Did no good to my laptimes (+5sec each lap in 2nd half). Somehow I was still running on 15th when I was attacked by the one behind... which was Dave. He flipped his car in last lap, so I still ended up 15th
The race was ok, a lot of very pretty skilled drivers. Typical hassle in first 2 laps in chicane, but else than that, very clean racing all over so far as I noticed.

Well our opening race wasn’t the way I envisioned it would go… But Karl found us a great League and Series to run in! They run the entire series with the up most professionalism. They even provide live stream coverage of the race on the Internet. Even thou there is a minor language barrier for me in running this series. It doesn’t seem to be a problem at all. The admins along with Karl, CommanderMas, and Mr. Gotti and along with my fellow racers have made it quite easy for me to compete with them. They have a lot of incredible drivers with a lot of talent racing in this league.. Some of the best I have ever seen in LFS. Blackwood is our next track in two weeks, and were both motivated to get back in there and race with these guys and to improve our finishes!! ;D Now back to your regular schedule broadcast show!  |

Depends on day and time! Im kinda low on free time lately Well the date dosen't really matter to me. I'm totally flexible. I guess since everyone is from different time zones. Might as well follow the SCGTS race time. If a few guys are intrested just leave a post here, and what is a good day for everyone to go have some fun!! |

I'll test out both of those setups that I had sent you earlier last week, and I'll give you my fastest and average lap times for both setups, so you have something to go by!! I hope you get your wheel back before sunday. |
