Geez!! Guys hitting 34.5 should be disqualified..... ticketed for speeding or something!! ;D ;D Hey you have been hitting some darn good times yourself all week.  What I've been finding out all week at this track, is it's not all about speed, it mostly comes down to having good average lap times, which you HAVE.  also do a fuel run and double check your tire wear. Also try to avoid those ingame track penaltys, that are near the rumble strips. Should be a great race for everyone! |

Well you have to be there at least 15 mins before race time Mucky. But there are generally people on there warming up 30-45 mins before that. Cheers... |

thank you, you were faster on green tires; but they didn't stay that way long enough.  seemed very polite too considering how practice went. |

Yup - incident-free race You all made the race admin happy ;D Race was far better on my side than expected. I much like Brno though I've never been fast on that track, no matter what mod. So I thought "first stay on the clean side and avoid all traps, then see what the others do"That did work pretty well. Mauro and Ron only were some 6 secs away all of first half, and Spidy was right in front of me. Only he never made any notable mistake, so though sometimes I was able to close in to below 0,5 sec, I was never in a situation to attack. Then Mauro dropped through all our group on laps 10-12.... and was soon again 6secs ahead after pitstops. Fresh tires must have made way more of a difference for Mauro than for Ron, Spidy and me 2nd half of the race was exactly the same on my position as first, so I did some silent prayers, that the guys ahead maybe might some more often step on some track penalty Didn't work - only I did myself 3 times. All in the same lap I'm happy Zolder doesn't have any p traps - and is more "fullthottle-friendly" ;D ;D |

Long story short: my race sucked, never thought a Group C car could go that slow Looking forward to Zolder already, places 3 to 7 in standings look pretty interesting now ;D |
