Nochmal nabend!

Das zweite Rennen war mindestens so toll wie das Rahmenprogramm mit dem Abarth grade eben !!!
Konnte mir Startplatz 2 erfahren hinter Skippe.Am Start kam ich gut weg und konnte sogar ein bisschen mit Skippe mithalten - nach hinten konnte ich den Vorsprung kontinuierlich vergrößern.Nachdem Skippe dann ca. in Runde 5 einen Dreher hatte konnte ich mich an die Spitze des Feldes setzen.In Runde 14 bin ich dann in Führung liegend zu meinem Stop reingefahren.Nachdem dann alle in der Box waren lag ich auf Platz 2 hinter Timo - der hats echt spannend gemacht - ich denk mal du hast keine Reifen gewechselt oder ?! Dadurch war das Rennen dann aber bis zum Schluss recht spannend.In Runde 26 konnte ich Timo dann überholen und konnte das Rennen dann auch nach hause fahren - am Ende aber "nur" 6 Sekunden Vorsprung auf Timo. Grats Timo for second place !! Grats David for third place !

Super Rennen von allen

Bis Donnerstag dann spätestens

You're right, I didn't change tyres, just refueled. I took a look at the Autosim report afterwards and if I made right conclusions 2 other of top-10 drivers didn't change either. That didn't slow me much - I was about 1 second per lap slower than you all the race through but with such minor difference it's hard to find a place to overtake unless the driver ahead makes an error. Unfortunately I went once a wheel-width wide and that slowed my speed enough to give you "free ticket". Congratulations, it wasn't my time - yet!

What's the matter with you? Yesterday on lap 27 or so I was driving on position 2 some 1-2 seconds behind race leader Daishi. You were on position 10 or over and let him overtake you nicely and I was expecting you to give me way as nicely too since we had "hot" situation and you had nobody to threaten your position nearby. You didn't ease at all for me and I was forced to do my overtake with a risk without knowing your intentions by my side. I think that "Thanks" from you was some kind of protest for me and since I had just overtaken you with not so perfect line you were able to rush after me on main straight. You came dangerously close and when we approached the tight "lefthander" I had to leave my braking very late to avoid you hitting my back. I could just make my way through that curve combination but from my rear mirror I saw you to drive over the high kerbs in a way that lifted you on two wheels and led your way to the sand, propably flipped your car too! What kind of driving is that? I have read here on the forum several times about you and similar cases with numerous other drivers and I think you really should consider better your behaviour on such situations. Do you use "Tab" to see the driver names and positions and "Look back" attached to some button to see the same data even with drivers behind you? If not, I suggest you to do so to keep up to date of the race situation.

Alltogether we had a really exciting race with Alfas yesterday, more such!

Cheers,
Timo

Sorry for yesterday, but I would like to see reply file (VCR) to check my behaviour in race .
After all your "telling off" in these forums (excuse me but I don't have read other several times about me, I don't have only free time), I try to drive better, because I don't want that other drivers take risks.
Of course I always use "Tab", I always have "mirror on" and I look back when a driver arrive back to me, but for me this is only a game , this is not real driving; the sensation are not the same of when I really drive my car ( 26 years of driving!!!) I play with only a monitor(do you have three or more?), only two way's front sound (do you have surround?), on unconfortable chair (do you have full car simulator?)

Fortunately I did not flipp and I don't understand how I had that situation.

Sorry for me bad English

Bye

Yes, take look at the replay. I haven't watched it myself either. And it's not so much the situation I overtook you that made me angry but the one right after where you drove dangerously close and you finally lost control of your car right behind me - it was just good luck you didn't take me with you...

I have a strong feeling that I have read here some drivers reporting difficulties to overtake you by a lap or more. But if I'm wrong, I humbly apologize!

A game and a game and a game - I'm after fair driving and fair driving is same with game and real life. Despite, I think in real life we all would have been dead a long time ago if we had driven the way we have done!

I do not have any luxury equipment. I have a modest P4 2.8Mhz PC with AGP Graphics Adapter which forces me to keep the setting low or normal and still I get some stutter every now and then, a 22" Wide monitor, headphones and I sit on a chair without any backrest. And it's not the equipment that makes a driver good or poor.

There's no reason for you to apologize your english. It seems perfectly good for me and it's not the native language of either of us.

I bury the hatchet now and I hope you do that too - See you on future races!

PS. I've been driving a car for 28 years instead of your 26!

Cheers,
Timo
