The replays are on the server as well.
Great racing last night. Unfortunately I tangled with Todd and put him on his roof in Race 2... sorry!! That was a shame too because Todd and I were having one a hell of a fight.

Wow guys, that was really great. Is difficult to say that this was the best set of races I had here at GBR, because I had some truly amazing races in that WEC GT cars Season about a year ago...but the races of yesterday are up there for sure. The racing was amazing, we had a nice grid, and the track really works for this cars...I have to say. Nice pick. Although I got Pole, qualy was tight, Jason returned in fine shape, almost getting my time in the end. In Race 1 the battle was terrific, 4 car way race for the lead until the end. Jason made a wondeful move for the lead on me early on, and was really a fight get him back, which I managed to do in the very end, tight move on the first sector. Really great stuff, clean and hard racing. Race 2 was a lot more caotic...grid reversion and stuff. I was dodging some bullets, made a unbelievable save when Jimmy touch me from behind on the last S, then I touched him, making him spin...and Im really sorry about that. I was too close and coundt avoid it. Then...I was nice for a podium finish, was overtaking Dan, all again in the last S...but something happened there between us, and bang, to the wall in front of the traffic. Manage to continue, but the car was really bad. Very bent. Somehow I manage to save a 5th in the end. Not bad giving how damaged the car was. Race 3 another great combat. I really enjoyed that! Starting from 5th, I did stead progress during the 20 laps, to get Rich close to end and win the race. All moves and fights were really enjoyable and close to professional levels, so big compliment guys. This was a special event, and giving the mood on TS, most of us had a really nice time.  I wish you all a safe and happy end of year. And happy new year to all of us! |

Had an absolute blast last night. It took qually and the first half of R1 to find my legs, but after that it was game on. Some of the memorable battles from last night...Dan, Robb & Tony in R1. Jeff in R2 (holy shit that was intense). Jeff, Hawks, Ricardo, & Dale in R3. Love the bumps. Love the curbs. Highlight of the night was probably passing Hawks twice (on consecutive laps even) into the one chicane. "Where the hell did you come from?"  I'm still shocked I was able to move up from 12th on the grid in R2, to challenge Jeff for several laps for the final spot on the podium. |

The bumps here definitely give an interesting choice... you can play it safe and slow down or skip over the bumps and hope the tires catch one last time before you get to the edge of the track I've come to realize this is my favourite rF1 V8SC mod by far now. There's a liveliness to the cars that's really fun. |

I had a blast last night also. I was having trouble getting the car to do what I wanted but my practice paid off and I was able to get a good setup. My PB was during quali and I was still 7th on the grid!
Angelo, I've raced with you enough times to know what happened was an accident so don't even worry about it.
Race 3 was very frustrating for me because that 4,5,6,7 place train was just up ahead and I couldn't catch up. Still had a great time trying to join the pack.
Everybody have a safe and happy New year!

I also had a blast last night. It so cool racing with you guys, i just love it.
Funny thing is, and I think I've heard it before from Dan. My car felt completely different once the races started. In practice and quali it felt great. In the races it was like I never drove the car on the track. Still had a great time though.

Honestly speaking I have and Im enjoying rF2, but I cant get the feel I have with SCE still with no other Sim atm. |

In the races it was like I never drove the car on the track. Still had a great time though. Something I thought I noticed last night and at the previous race but I need to test more to be sure... I could swear that my FFB felt lighter in race than it does in practice. |

My FFB felt the same. It was the car itself that felt different.

I had a blast racing last night. It's been several weeks since I've had a chance to fire up my wheel and I had a great time. Really fun track with lots of bumps and close racing. Had some good battles with Angelo, Chris, Rich, Tony and several others.
I somehow pulled a good qualy lap out, which bumped me from 7th up to 2nd on the starting grid. Had a back and forth battle with Angelo with Rich right on my tail the whole race. Race 2 was very chaotic, but still a lot of fun. Had a 3 car pile-up early on, then got spun around. Worked my way back, then got sideways on the front straight. Saved it from hitting the wall, but Ricardo had nowhere to go and we collided (sorry about that Ricardo). Race 3 was another nose to tail battle.
Was great to chat and harass everyone on TS again. Good friends + good racing = great time!

Had a great run in race one with Chris and Tony until I looped it on the last corner a smashed the wall.
Race 2 was fun, but sorta uneventful. Race 3 was OK until I hit Angelo in that last set of corners coming over the hill, I never used my breaks at that spot, so when I seen Angelo's break lights come on I was like a Deer in headlights and just rolled in to him, sorry again bud.
But after that I had some weird suspension thing going on, car felt fine until I hit a bump, and it felt like it wanted to turn by it's self. Hit the curb on one corner and it turned right in to the wall and popped a wheel off.
But it was a rather enjoyable race, looking forward to the next one.
I've managed to lose a front wheel in every race so far, either these cars are fragile, or I'm driving them to hard.
