@maddogmolloy the sprint race sounds like a plan but I could only do the sunday but… Thats the olympic closing ceremony so best not to do it then, unless people dont care about it?
Also I wont make mondays race as I’m digging holes again
In that case @maddogmolloy @infernojim if its still ok later I will change and be @Lemon ‘s new team mate.
I wont be able to male the race on Monday due to digging holes in wales….
(its a good thing too(I normaly smash into everything))
Turns out I cant appeal the result as I was in the wrong! Although 3 penaltys one after the other doesnt seam right but oh well!
The video will be up by lunch, would have done it sooner but im addicted to red dead at the moment!
I should have been on the second row but ran out of fuel again!
As for the race, I want to cry!
At the start I managed to get to 2nd, I get really quick starts for some good reason. I started to dropmback and after fitting primes my carnwas aweful for about 7 laps and the primes killed amy chance of seeing the front running guys again. Imput back on the options and flew at the end but it was to late.I need somebody to look at two out of three of my time penaltys. One I dont agree with and the other I dont lnow how I got. All time penaltys so I will upload the race and point out at which times this happend. @mcwoblin @maddogmolloy
My qualifying:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELfdWS53wuY&list=UUh6NPBPvwU4e6pSk_ObMx9A&index=2&feature=plcpy2 (sorry I dont know your name on here) Why where you going sow slow at the first turn once I started my first timed lap? It looked like a block from my point of view! Can somebody look at this just to confirm what happed?
Penalty which was my own fault so I accepted it and tried for a better lap after . After a spin I came in to change the gear setup. Then I managed to get green sectors all the way through to the back straight when I then ran out of fuel and time.
The race was interesting, I managed to go from 15th to 9th whilst going wide at the first corner. I did hit a lotus from behind, twice in the first lap (apologies).
The first time was due to moving out the way of somebody else to avoid a crash but still crashed! And the second was due to mis judging brakes. After a few battles I ended up around p.12 and was called into the pits. I found myself in clean air with c.pope begind me after a few more laps wich lead on to a long battle. By lap 15 my tyres had gone and cpope was right behind. As we both started lap 15 or just before we caught a slow car I think a sauber? And a threeway battle started but a 4th car came out of the pits and caos started.
After the first curvy but we headed down the hill and i over shot the corner cutting everybody up. But didnt hit any of you as far as im aware? Then through the lap i caught up and one car span out and a few bumps hear occurred between the 4 of us. Cpope spun the car but from where i was it was the smallest of klips that could have happend to any of us so no blame can be put on him. After this it was a cruse to the line picking up a few places and finishing 10th which im happy with.Good race. And as for the the incidents that have upset people. It is racing and human errors do happen and i would rather be hit up the backside once or twice than not at all because thats real racing!
Will upload some clips tomorrow.
