[DaveO]

Hello racers,

Our first race is this coming Saturday at Blackwood GP Reverse, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the rules page before race time.

Also I would like to point out there is no chatting during qualifying or during the race. Any type of excessive chatting will be an automatic penalty. I would also like to stress that, we're driving as friends and thus gentlemen like sportsmanship is the required attitude for all drivers. Continuous violation of this will not be tolerated, even if it doesn't go along with explicit rule breaking.

I'm affraid I'll have to skip this one and round 2, since they clash with NDR's LFSCART(http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=211). I'll try to join during qualifying if LFSCART finish early enough, but that's quite unlikely.

Round 3 clash with LFSCart last round too

I'll be out of the country till next Monday, so sadly I'm gonna miss round 1 too

Hey guys,

Sorry to hear some of you won't be able to make it! I hope to see those who wont be able to make it in the next races to come.

As for some of the pre-race things to think about:

Since we're going to start on quite a narrow track I ask you all to take it easy in the first few turns. We dont want to restart the race because of people weren't carefull enough in the first few turns. This is to prevent pileups. Generally : No restarts.

Another thing to remind is that when one flips his/her car, there is no resetting the car. That means that if your car is on its roof, your race is over.

Making a pitstop is manditory. Doesn't matter when you do it or how much fuel you put in. The only requirement is changing all 4 tires and refuel within the racing laps.

Well, since most of these things are mentioned on our rules page this should be fine. If you have any questions regarding the upcoming race, we'll be pleased to answer them for you.

cheers and hope to see you all on the track sathurday!

Fun race, it seems that everyone managed to find someone to race with. I was doing fine until the last lap when I ran out of fuel and flipped the car on the last chicane.

Had a nice race. Get surprised when I saw that i've make a 1:08 at qualif
Correct race, setup was finally stable, 1:09 each lap until my pitstop when I was P5, then after the pit, I was easily on 1:08 laps O.o
I was P12 at 2 laps of the end, then 2 DNF and hop, P10

Thanks to the staff for the race!
See you next race if i'm not at hollidays!

What a race, With only an average quli lap, pole was easily taken by P Peron & thanks to Yan with a very nice lap i started 3rd. After a little battle with Yan i was now in 2nd place 2 seconds behind P Peron, we were doing similar lap times but on lap 7 on entry to chicane before the last turn i had a double downshift causing some engine damage, with P Peron pitting mid race i was in the lead, but i had lost some time to him, the best i could hope for was 3rd place, but as i exit the pits on the last lap on cold tyres & engine damage P Peron’s just about a second behind me & gaining all the time, we cross the line with only a few tenths between us, a lucky race for me to finish 1st. A good clean race Where blue flags were respected.
Thx admins

[DaveO]

What a great race with clean racing and nice battles going on.

Congrats to the podium finishers.

Opps. It's now corrected.

Hey guys,

Well that was a very good start of our series. I enjoyed racing the laps i did.. to bad i miscalculated the fuel and was half a lap short on fuel before going for a pitstop. Had a great fight with Dave and was improving steadily.

Thanks everyone for showing up! I hope to see you all again at Kyoto National Reversed!

cheers,

Triz (T.Daams)
