The Glen race

[Cholerix]

Well, that was good fun. Good action throughout all the race and very clean racing from all drivers from what I could see from my position

The final adjustment I did on gears right after Qualifying proved to have done the trick: 1,5 secs faster each lap in the race than in warm race.

Enabled me to go about same pace as drivers on positions 3-5 and caused a jolly chase up to lap 16. And another great chase on Chris for 3rd position in 2nd stint. Too bad my pitstops again caused me to lose 5 secs - made Mauro an A.Kline rush up on me when I was in pits 2nd time - so 3rd stint I was chasing A.Kline and hoping his tires would give up ;D

Turned out that was a good guess and brought me back to 5th position in final lap

... next time I'll do some fuel runs in practice

Had to leave. I didnt want to affect anyone's race due to my late race spins.

Sorry to hear that Hammer, u were up to speed though. A difficult but mature descision!

I too had my bad episode on the Glen. Could follow my teammate for 1/3 of the race but because of my own mistake i lost it in turn 6 i think... the long turn took me twice in total. Just barely touched the grass there yet spun my car. So i had damage for the rest of the race. Also was racing someone in the pitlane which i lost because i pushed the throttle down to quickly, which in turn also made me spin hehe. So pretty eventfull race, mostly for myself.

I am looking forward to next race, Birmingham is quite the challenging track!

Congrats to Dave on the win!...

Well done Patch & Chris on completing the podium.

Sorry I couldn't race, this internet problem I'm having looks like it will only be resolved by having a new line installed.

So may be off the track for a few months.

Cheers...

Hey Cholerix
My tires were just fine, they could havewent a few more laps, unlike the start of the race where I had to pit a lap early, so I wouldn't loose control of my car again. (Almost got Dave because of that.)
But... I did run out of gas... lol
So... Thanks for stealing my top 5!!! haha

Congrats, Dave, Patch and Chris for the awesome performance. In fact, everyone did good on this race.

I loved this one because we had all the ingridients to a great race: skilled drivers, fast cars, challenging track, serious and clean competition!!

I love these Indy Cars on road courses, even if I'm not the greatest, it's a blast to drive them by yourself.
I hate them on the ovals, when it's online, there's not much room to make a mistake...
Pretty good race, everyone had there own race going on.

I've raced in several races with you latley, and also we did a marathon practice the other night. You are one talented rookie coming thru the ranks. Just give it some time and patience and watch what happens!

Thanks Dave.
I'm starting to get a hang with the right turns. Trying to put everything I learned from Indoor Karting, into sim road course racing. Also, I think I'm getting better with setting up the car, much, much... better then I could of a few months ago. ;D

Shit, just saw this - I misread the schedule + thought this race was next week. I was doing some practice this evening and starting to get comfortable.

I guess there's always next round
