Nice race guys, sorry to see my friend Kenneth (CoRe guy) drop off but thanks for the points m8  what happened? Dave, I was looking forward (sort of) to another battle like Blackwood but I saw ya spin in T1 and didn't think I should wait for ya! I had a little mishap on the first half at the chicane and thought to jump into the pits, 4th down to 10th. next thing I find myself back in 4th, then thanks to others pitting up to 3rd and watching my mirrors for Dave. Then I saw in the chat that Ken dropped out  and moved me up to 2nd! I really had a problem on my last 2 or 3 laps as my right front started to loose heat badly and turned to brown so I adjusted my arb's down 10 and that seemed to bring them back, then just carefuly around to the end. |

No complaints from me, race was OK (when it really started), I just want to apologize to [TDRT] O.Thurbin for this:  I completely missed my braking point, because I usually "counted" in my mind when to brake after the curb on the left, but in this case I did not see it and simply lost it... my fault, sorry. |

[quote happened? Dave, I was looking forward (sort of) to another battle like Blackwood but I saw ya spin in T1 and didn't think I should wait for ya!.[/quote] I was looking forward to another battle like Blackwood with you also. Unfortunately right from the start I had received some damaged to my car, so my lap times took a severe hit with damage.. Kevin you worked really hard practicing and it showed during the race!! Congrats on finishing 2nd.. very well deserved. |

Start was a little rough, but no more than would have to be expected in real-life racing as well - and washed me up to 5th place. But as it seems I'm as bad in pitting in LFS as I am in NHeat, that got me down to 9th... that and the fact that Triz was faster  |

Quite an eventfull race for me. Was hard to keep position in the first few laps, and had trouble getting into rhythm. Then got a lil nodge which made me slide in T1 losing more positions.. My laptimes should have brought me higher, but unfortunate things happen Finished 8th. Oh well, another race coming gonna use this experience for the next race:) And practise even more. |

Like on Blackwood GP I lost my pole in the last lap of qualifying.
Between Okeefe and Bambo I don´t felt good. Both are known as hard fighters. After I was overtaken by bambo KSheppard was able to come close and overtook me slipstreaming on start/finish straight. Fine manover. While having some good fights with KSheppard DaveO came closer and closer. But in front of chicane I was able to conter KSheppard´s attack. With an advantage out of chicane he wasn´t able to slipstream again.
I wasn´t able to follow OKeefe. So the gap to front and back raised. Everything was fine for me.
Then I overtook OKeefe while he was in the pits. As he was chasing me he missed it in T1.
The rest is history.
I followed the fights between DaveO and KSheppard. Two fair fighters. They use their brakes and brains. Wonderfull show guys.
What happed to the other TDRTs ?
Mikael92 - his graphics card wrecked 2h bevor session starts. Bad luck m8.
Bambo - he had probs with his pedals.
Alvedon - got a kick, came back into race on last position and fighted his way through the field.

During the week did a ton of practicing. I'm just happy I was able to beat my old PB record, and finally start hitting 142 flats at AS3, during practices. Wasen't able to do that in the race because of damage, but oh well, stuff happens. I had a blast of a race anyways. You can count on Kevin, myself and a few other guys practicing for Westhill Int'l race. Looking forward to that race. Thanks for letting us know what happened to the other guys.

If your referring to the race report, you will find it here. speedsims.net/Cholerix has been kind enough to write up a race report for every race so far for this series. I would like to take this moment to thank him personally for doing this for all of us. He's put in a tremendous amount of time to bring some enjoyment to all of us.. Also without his support of letting us use his forum, and general encouragement this series never would of gotten off the ground to begin with.. Karl, thanks for everything you have done!! |

I see, nice reading, thank you Cholerix (Karl?) and also Dave. Btw, I had no damage, pit on lap 1 was tactical decision, I am not that much comfortable around other cars, as you could see later on. Will get better. |
