I have never raced at the rF1 version of this track. The rF2 version is far prettier, lol. Should be an interesting evening.

Man that was rough. We need to start getting paid for these races, that was work. lol
I had practically no chance to look at dials and stuff. The only break was on the straight and that wasn't really a break because you know you didn't want to mess up that first turn and wind up in quicksand.

An OK couple of races. I was off the pace yet again but managed to avoid too much trouble. Apologies for the mess at the beginning of the first attempt at Race 1. I had Pat beside me and was watching him and not my braking point and ended up punting three guys into the sand. Luckily we got a doofus restart. Also apologies if I messed up Chris and Boza in race two. I came out of the pits and tried to stay predictable but we came together at T2. Chris and I needed this race to be one lap longer I think  John's figuring out the soft tires  |

Not sure what happened to me in race 1 but I am guessing rfactor thought I cut the track or something because 1 minute I am in 12th, I go wide and let everybody go by and I am in 19th. I thought this was accurate but Dan and somebody else were coming up behind me and I am getting a blue flag. I knew Dan wasn't in first place (sorry dan) but I was very confused what was going on. I am guessing when I took that different path at the bottom of the bridge the sim thought I cut the track.
Race 2 was much better. I got 10th only because of Jason's unfortunate disco.
If I never see this track again, it will be too soon.

A couple more solid finishes...better than I was expecting. Had an absolute ball battling with Dale all night long. Had a good scrap in Race 2 with Boza & Rich. Sorry again Boza about the cluster going into T2. I had a hell of a time trying to get the thing slowed up after getting WAY off line through the kink. Sucks about the disco Hawks...but I'll take the points any way I can get them.  |

This track definitely has some problems. Your lap 4 is recorded at 2:37.013, which means it didn't count one of your laps. During practice on Tuesday I spun off track and back on (no cutting) and it did not count that lap. I think someone mentioned in quali that their lap was not counted as well. |

No offense taken Jimmy, I did not have a chance in hell of finishing where I did, except for the mistakes of others. No practice, sick as a dog, and a bad tune made by myself.
But i was wondering if you had got caught up in the sand or something, because I did not remember going by you. We never had these issues with this track before, but then I'm not sure it's the same version we used last time.
As for Jason... I know he had to be pissed. He had that pretty much in the bag. I spun about 7 car lengths in front of him going into turn 2, and was waiting for him to pass before trying to get back on track and he just vanished. That has got to be frustrating as all hell... Better luck next time brother..
