good racing guys! Even if I was at the end of the pack. Don't know exactly why, but I lost my time in the first rounds, after a short "fight" with gomba, I think. At the end I was quicker, but you were too fast away. I managed a 9th place.
May be I was too optimistic to change into club!?!?!?! Those 5% less made for me a very big difference. That's plus mistakes from the driver - me -, yeah that were the reasons. I wish, I would have been in the middle of you. I heard some exciting screams, shouts and comments!
A happy new year to anybody!!!!!!! See you in 2013!

i did notice that you dropped back alot in the first two corners, Not entirely sure what happened by we just seemed to fly by you :(
We had some epic racing in our room, the hp handicap made it a very tough room. However, in 2O4F spirit, we go racing!
Through out the 22 laps we battled hard, a pack of 4/5 of us all fighting for a podium spot. Loved every minute of it :D
That was an epic race. As a beneficiary of the HP handicap, I must say, it gave me the opportunity to
hang in there with you and the others in the pack much longer than my skill level warranted. I also appreciate the tips during the race.
I will definitely be attending your driving school to
improve my driving and learn more about track strategy. Cheers!
Thanks again for an awesome time.... even if it was awfully lonely in last place! Learned a few things today.... 5% handicap killed me!!! But more importantly to keep checking my telemetry as I found out I raced a good 12 laps with a damaged tranny .... and I couldn't figure out why I was loosing so much time! Last and mist important .... there is a HUGE difference between hotlapping and racing. Anyways... happy new year everyone.
I love running Road America, one of my favorite tracks. On the first lap I slid wide in that long right hander trying not to take anyone out and eventally found my way back onto the track. That was me Jdan! A fun battle indeed, I enjoyed it. After several laps in clean air and concentrataion, I was able to make consistent times and eventually caught up to Celtic and Tourni. I couldn't pass of course, but I did catch up! Tried making a move there on the last corner since I still has some tires, but spun it into the grass. Really great time today, thanks everyone!
Great night of racing and I was enjoying it until I took myself off the track and still kicking myself for doing it. I had to pit early to repair steering damage but the car ended up being slower on the straights due to front end damage. Last couple of laps was like driving on slicks on a wet track as tyres were at 100%.
Good close racing in the middle of the pack though and looking forward to the next race.
That was a great experience for me, I am still not sure how I managed to pull away at the start as I was very slow at the circuit when I was practicing during the day, but something seemed to fall into place during the race. I think as I had no handicap so my car was faster than most of the others, and I managed to get the lead after starting in 3rd place, the long straight sections allowed me to just keep ahead of the angry bunnies fighting it out just behind
Certainly was eventful, battles everywhere! I thought surf was going to have me during the final stages of the race for sure, but he decided to remove his gear box... :D
The times are good Sam, certianly putting you around the faster of the middle pack. You should be proud of the drive!
I enjoyed it but think 22 laps for me was way too long at this present in time. Started first on the grid and by about turn 3 i was last. On the first turn i allowed a few cars to go by me and some more on the second turn. I felt that i shouldnt be in peoples way so thought being at the back i could concentrate more on my driving style and getting used to it. I will not be doing that next race hahaha. I could pull out any decent times my best 2:49 was frustrating for me as i was putting in 2:46/7's during my practice. At the end of the race last 2/3 laps i was being lapped. I certainly will be carrying on but i need to be a bit more aggresive with a little bit of a fuck you attitude if i am gonna do better.
Cheers for the ride tho and ill be around on Sunday for another beating :p

If by "fuck you attitude" you meant "relax and race your race" you'll do fine but you should know most other strategies fail miserably especially the most common "I'll push it a little bit here to catch up some" almost always puts you further behind. Trust Parcells he's done it too many times.
If you don't trust Parcells (and really why wouldn't you has someone said something to you about me?) just ask Fitzy how his race went yesterday...He tried pushing it too hard trying to catch Parcells and all he got was spilled beer and a brush with the wall.
Exactly how i mean not going to worry about getting in the way of cars unless they are lapping me certainly not at the start of the race.

Paul, it was great racing with you. You should know that we here love to see other racers progress. So keep competing and you'll be picking up speed in no time.
Great race!! 4th is some kind of improvement for me, although ran outta tyres at end so couldnt live with dazjohn and Deadmau5 for the podium. Toasted tourni tho so all is good.....lol. Congrats to Sam on his win, guess no more novice class for you eh lol
Some good close racing there, especially with Dante. Shame also that Church suffered the usual mass aero damage early on.
Crept in third with 80%+ front aero and 50% something side after being caught in Dante and ??? Coming together 5 or so laps before the end. 3-4 secs a lap down.
Loads of fun this evening. My first fourth place finish for me a personnal best against some very good racers, not a podium finish but for me it feels like first place. Parcells.....Parrr...........celllls !
Good racing! Battled a lat with Surf. My wheel disconnected while I was fighting Zeratul and someone else for 3rd place but I got it back together and rejoined in 8th place. Lawyer and I diced it up some more then he past me on the front straight on the last lap. Ended up 9th but it was good fun.
Won't make it. Something has popped up and ruined my evenings racing.

Things have been been keeping me away but I will shortly be complicating matters.
Any chance of a room a invite for room a?

Great Racing guys - started at the back but managed to gradually rise to finish 3rd under pro handicap.

Happy new year to one and all and all the best for 2013

Happy new year everyone!
Have a good night. Now time to get pissed!!
Sorry I've been away guys. Holidays have been hectic...and the cat ate 2 MS headsets (chewed wires into several pieces) in 3 days..gif "53")
Hopefully I'll have my act back together soon.
I have to put my mic up or 1 of my cats likes to chew on the wire too. Put that shit up where kitty can't get it when you're not playing.
Does anyone have a tune for the next race Mugello ? Thanks!
