Just some info for Long Beach race: On exiting pitlane you'll have to stay on the right side of the pylons !Drivers that are just heading down the straight have to stay LEFT of the pylons. Stay left of the line for all the straight if some other driver is exiting pits (have an eye on "XXX" or alike" msg while you're running the straight If you are in need of a setup, check www.speedsims.net/groupc/GCSC_setups.htmlYou can find this page via links from Speedsims main page, btw. Don't ever use the ingame default setups - these are for stockcars typically and won't ever match your car at all. ANY track specific setup from setup page will provide a better start for practice and race than default setups Laptimes in the race will probably be in 1:05-1:08 range. You can find that info for any track in the schedule on the series' schedule page, btw. |

Thanks for organizing, gratz to the winner when you cross the line, I had the pace, (set a 1:04:950) but i am very overtired and out of it this weekend, also, my luck is terrible. I am gutted at my qualis and race. I will be back for the next race and just treat it as my first  Also, appologies to oldns_low and BMX, i ran into both of you at one point or another, I am sorry, but like I say, im out of it and reacting to race situations far too slugishly and couldnt hold the pace for more than 8 or 9 laps on the trot. thanks all, Oscar. |

Congrats to Crash on your amazing win!  Also to Carlos and Karl for finishing out the top 3. I was happy with my qualifying run of 2nd, and also being able to achieve my all time fastest lap of 104.9 before I crashed and burned. LOL.. To me it's almost like endurance racing, now to just get my A$$ in gear to get used to that.  Very enjoyable race!!! ;D |

Good race, nicely done Crash.
I think I might have bumped someone in the bend before turn 11, I hope no damage was done.
That's the good things about these cars on Long Beach, you can have moderate FS damage and still mange decent times.

Thanks...was heaps of fun!...  Congrats Carlos & Karl for podium places! Very well done by Hammer & Spidolfxy too! Bad luck Oscar & Dave, seems you guys had good pace. Sorry to Ron, looked like a lag shunt from me. Was at least a few car lengths behind..  Thanks all, good racing! Cheers.. |

My race was pretty much eventless, except when I passed a severely damaged Dave Was good to get back into Heat, congrats Crash for winning and Cholerix for the podium! Next race at Road Atlanta should be interesting too with all those apex-bumps strategically placed ;D |

 Crash it was weird, was someone crashing in the pit exit at same time and the computer added me into that? i was aware you were there crash and figure i would just let up early and turn in late and let you by; but before i lifted i was sideways in air and came down on barriers. then got several other hits before moving. car would no longer go straight much less turn right; so i just got it out of way.

Though my Qualifying was all crap, I had a ton of fun in the race, first 10 or so laps closely chasing Ron, SpidolFx and Hammer. Only made it past Spidy because of a faster pitstop in lap 18 ;D In second half, after catching up on Dave, I tried to close in to Carlos while I was chased by Hammer. Unfortunately my car had sustained front damage on some mishappened lapping (my own fault), so in the end Carlos could ease up in last laps. Guess I'd have needed another 5 laps to be able to attack for 2nd ... and would probably have had to fight off Hammer at the same time ;D The one thing to have in mind with these cars is: you have to get into full ZEN mode for full race distance, else you'll mess up |

26:47 #29 hitting #1 at lapping
Must have been a warp shunt. On my screen blax kinda slid into the turn and after making contact with the wall slid sideways. I then guess I went underneath him and flipped him in the air (I saw him flying in my mirror). All through this I received no damage and didn't hear any contact sound effects come off of my car.
If I did get into him then I'm sorry, I was trying to hold off until a good passing turn.

I was in the process to pull right to let you pass but, went too wide and hit the wall. That's why you hit me. Glad your car didnt get damaged.... . |

That's why there was a question mark right behind that listed incident. You couldn't tell by server replay what had happened, only that right at passing one car got airborne
In case of an incident that has been identified as one (no question mark), all involved would have got a pm with the request to comment on the scene by pm. Things may have happened different on driver screens than they show on server replay.
All incident investigations will be done by pm or email, as in such public discussions usually emotions come to play and often drivers would start accusing each others to have done something wrong or by purpose - without even knowing what really has happened. That is why there's a rule that all incident handling has to be kept strictly off public chat and forum. And to admins. Keeps emotions and bad blood out and reasoning in ;D

I hitted a 1:06 ;D Was a good race guys Sorry to Ron about hitting you when you were spun but I thought you were in mid track not against the wall and when I hit you you went flying edit: Oscar wasn't sure if I got you or you got me in that last turn but I was trying to make room for you and slipped up, sry. |
